sipthistea 21,099 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 'Cause it's not trendy. If it's not trap, it's not a hit. Btw, I don't get how Perfect by Ed Sheeran got to #1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the era itself could have been as big as 1989 if she had released End Game as the lead (as it and NYD are the only songs on Reputation that I bothered listening to again .) That’s an interesting comparison that I hadn’t thought of... but yeah I think you might be right. yaaa end game would've been a good lead, but I guess LWYMMD is iconic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as RFI views, the video kind of sucks. The chorus is catchy but the production isn't radio friendly. You're absolutely right, and it's kind of sad how formatted radios are nowadays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'm the biggest hiphop/rap fan on the website tbh, and I think she nailed it. She's not trying to be Eminem of course, but as a (white) pop girl, that's not bad at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got another top 5 song so I doubt her team really cares. Let’s see how Endgame does and see if this era really is a flop or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy 5,298 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Because Red was her TF, 1989 was her TFM and reputation is her BTW. That’s why the second single flopped after the highly anticipated first single’s short lasting success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have flopped if they waited a bit and released it properly rather than dropping it out of nowhere and leaving it to die off until it was promoted to the next single.

Ziggy 11,804 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 It’s not a good song to a lot of people and larger audiences are not here for her. Tbh she’s being obnoxious because everyone else moved on from this drama and she talks about how she wants to not be a part of it but this album just keeps bringing her drama back up again. Then she has this faux tough girl image that rings really hollow. Gaga had the horns, K8tea had the blond spiky cut, and Taylor has this. You won’t always resonate with the wider public.

bloody g 31,746 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 it was rushed after LWYMMD and it was outshined by its previous single, like Unconditionally and Roar 『𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝』 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oivind 287 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think it's pretty random how successful any piece of popular music is. Taste is subjective, many critics are mostly concerned about their credibility, and teenagers are often concerned about what's hot and what's not. Whichever artist your older siblings listened to, will often turn out not to be hot in your eyes, so whichever artist was hot a few years ago, have an uphill struggle to stay on top. I just don't think quality (whatever that means) has much to do with success, when it comes to mainstream music. I happen to think "...Ready for it?" is excellent, and the album is excellent too, but for some reason, Lorde is hotter among credibility-craving critics, and I don't know which name is the hottest among teenagers at the moment. I just know it's not Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga anymore. BTW, I Iove Lorde, but IMO, "Reputation" is a much better album than "Melodrama". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weed 73,812 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I hear it on the radio all the time but ya sucks it’s flopping... idk music video was a non-event, didn’t regain interest after the peak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloArtDramaPop 789 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 probably because no hype surrounded it or more like it was hyped as promo single, so all hype was directed towards LWYMMD, so when it officially was sent to radio for single treatment, since people already heard it, it didn't become as successful. Now imagine if A-Yo was sent to radios after PI, I think it would suffer the same fate, however, my opinion still holds that if A-Yo was to be the lead single it would have smashed in shake it off-esque fashion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
