ferretti 5,808 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I mean, it REALLY doesn't sound like current pop music or rap music. I dunno, it's a live track, which is weird. I don't really see it taking off on pop radio, sadly. I think INLA has a better shot, honestly. disco stick tester, inquire within Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nswain1110 2,653 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I was wondering the same thing, especially since pop adds were so high... really strange. Follow me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/natethetrailhunter/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even top 50 That is a shame that pop radio is sleeping on it there. Shallow is getting good airplay from Heart FM here which is the main radio station in my part of the country at least and also on Smooth along with a couple of other ASIB tracks but Capital FM which is the cool radio for younger audiences are completely snubbing it here which is annoying.

Quartz 11,923 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Because radio is trash. There's a reason it's a dying format Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality 65,283 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I think it's because it's just so different from anything else on the radio right now. Also, I'm no composer, or musical analyst, or whatever but I think one of the "problems" with the song, and the reason why it may not do extremely well on radio is that it's a very unstructured song. When you look at a song like Is That Alright? or Before I Cry, you can easily see them doing well on radio because not only do they sound like radio ballads, but they have a structure. It's a verse --> chorus --> verse --> chorus --> bridge --> final chorus. With Shallow, it's not like that. It's like verse --> verse --> chorus --> bridge --> final chorus. In my opinion, it takes too long to get to the "meat" of the song, which is why it may not doing extremely well on radio. Now before anyone quotes me, I love Shallow. I love the fact that it's live, both Bradley and Gaga complement each other well, it showcases Gaga's amazing vocals at the end, etc. However, that's just the reality of how music is these days. 🖤👹 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's always music on radio that isn't the typical radio friendly... If there's demand for it, that's how some non typical pop songs make it into spins and airplay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannesrats 26 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 It's not gonna do well on the radio. In addition to being an unstructured song, the song itself doesn't sound anything remotely close to anything else on the radio right now. With all the other odd-ball songs that come up at least they sound like something similar to what's being played right now. Also, it's a live track. That never gets picked up. It's a lost cause, it doesn't matter how much we love it. I'm counting on INLA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
