JohnWayne92 2,228 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I have been trying to remember the last time a soundtrack song had been popular, and I think it was Let It Go from Frozen. Now, to me, that song wasnt exactly radio friendly...maybe radio Disney, but the cringy lyrics and the song actually mentioning her icy powers and what not, it wasnt a typical mainstream song. It was made for children, in a children's musical. So why did radios play it every other song? It wasnt the popular sound back then, but I heard is CONSTANTLY here in the US. Now, I understand how big the movie was, but that doesnt exactly translate to music. Black Panther was the biggest US film last year, and it had an amazing soundtrack. Didnt hear much of those songs on the radio? I think my point here is, US radio really hasnt liked Gaga since 2013. Applause was the last song they gave a true shot. Now I know, "We've been knew, sis." But, how is that fair? People obviously want to hear the song, they like the song. Why continue to not play it? A smash is a smash? I know Radio is kind of a dying format, thank God, but I think its shitty that they can just decide to stop playing someone because they felt like it.

WildAmerican 13,672 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Let It Go is a fantastic song. Shallow is more acclaimed and successful though (SOTY and ROTY noms, #1 peak) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea B 16,761 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 the only reason why let it go feels bigger is because it's a ''kids songs'' lol... let it go is kinda like Baby shark, it's ''tanking'' in the charts but it gets a lot of youtube views and a lot of people know about it.
