No one’s boycotting Shallow. It’s just that it’s not being requested. If you request it, then it will be played. Not immediately, but later in the day it will. And nobody listens to radio anymore.

this is not true. the week it was released i called in to request it and the lady said they didn’t have it 🤦🏽‍♀️

Probably because Gaga still has the rep of being freaky or too gay or something :duck:

I don't know what's the reason, but this is certainly not :huntyga:

There's a million reasons why pop radio wouldn't touch it (soundtrack single, not pop, weird format, etc) but maybe it going #1 without radio support will be enough for radio to realize the GP are gagging for it [ugh I'm keeping the unintentional pun :air:]

Why is Europe and Australia pop radio loving it tho?

Wtf is it really not played on pop radio in the US????

It was frequently played on pop stations here in NZ :confused:

What the hell stations played it over there then?

I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

American radios have deep connections to certain labels. It's not necessary payola, but there's a reason Ariana gets more #1s even though Bey sells more pure albums. Also, once a singer gets labeled as an "album" artist rather than a "single" artist it can be hard to break out. Lastly, dance-pop and soft-rock aren't as popular over the past few years compared to more strict electronic, r & b pop, etc.

seems like Z100 have now put shallow on sub-power, hopefully KIIS follows and we can get some decent radio updates over the next few days

Y'all must have some crappy radio stations where you live, because my local pop station plays it all the time.

Or...more likely, she doesn't have a payola deal. Girls Like You is an example of that, so is Ariana.

because Shallow doesn't conform the current music atmosphere in the radio so maybe they afraid that it will disturb the radio vibe or mood, lol it's just my pretentious assumption tho
