sexy 3,164 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Does anyone else feel like this song would've been a lock at #1 even without much promo if it had just been released as a single? It has nearly 400 million streams across YouTube and Spotify (~370 million) without a music video or anything resembling promotion. It's purely the Blackpink fanbase that bumped up this song, and, similar to how ROM was all but guaranteed a #1 peak because Ari's such a streaming force, I feel like the kpop stans would have easily gotten this to #1 as well. Unlike other missed single opportunities whose results are more uncertain (Scheiße and Sexxx Dreams as singles, for example), I feel like Sour Candy as the third single would've had a pretty clearcut result – at least a Top 5 peak, more likely than not a #2 or #1. Even if the era was going to **** and original plans couldn't be followed through, I still can't wrap my head around not at least getting this track some playlisting and giving Chromatica another big song. qu'est-ce que vous pensez?

Dadru 2,279 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 It also was prevented from a higher peak because it released a day before the album on a thursday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpez 1,250 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Yes I think it could have done pretty we'll if they released it as a single with MV on release day instead of the day before as a simple drop. trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken but you can still see the crack in that ************s reflection.

Celloo Deng 53,686 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I think the biggest missed opportunity was not pushing INLA or ARUTW do i need to understand a pineapple to eat a banana Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenWonder 3,913 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 ARUTW is the biggest missed opportunity. By miles. Plus, we all know that the SC vid is coming this Friday. So there's that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

warhol killer 8,580 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I mean with the right visuals I don't think it would like a HIT hit but it would go viral. warhol killer ✴ GAGA¹⁵ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa 15,845 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 the thing was mostly cause the kpop fans would inflate the sells, it would have still be shortlived but yeah the numbers would still be big even if only frontloaded Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obobo 2,703 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Didn’t Sour Candy do well outside of the the xenophobic western countries? I think I saw it referenced more by GP internet influencers as well. It would have done way better than 911 and Stupid Love… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerjs 5,510 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Unpopular opinion, SC (and Babylon) is almost always a skip for me. I don’t think the GP would go crazy for it the way you’d think. BP fans would help sure, but I don’t think it would get tons of play either way. 🇨🇺🇧🇸 monica from rhoslc kinda had a point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Baby 765 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Definitely would have done better than Stupid Love and 911 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pachinko 10,034 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Gaga is the queen of missed single opportunities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Gaga 7,989 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 BLACKPINK ft Selena on BLACKPINK 's album 713M views so if there was a Sour Candy MV on Gaga's YT hopefully could have gotten at least half views? (even rain on me wasn't half) Hit me a message and say hi ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSlash 14,539 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I don't think it would've been a huge hit with the GP, but Gaga definitely missed the hype when the lyric video was released. It could've been a huge hit in both fandoms. At least BP included a portion of the song into their tour (or whatever it was). Ew, David! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
