Mariano 958 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Unlike pop stans, most itunes buyers go by the song not the artist. They don't love Uncon just because it's Katy, or reject Timber just because Kesha is out of fashion. They don't like Uncle because of the song, they don't care about Katy, they never did... The same goes for Kesha.. Gaga is insanely different story and u know it .. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bye 3,947 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 When they realized people are not Interested in it they started playing it less and less and less... After Roar becoming the fastest song to top 3 and 4M sales and being 200M AI of course they are going to be crazy not to play her 2nd single ... and now they are doing the same with the 3rd single ... If It was that easy to pay radios to play songs, Interscope and Gaga would've done it 10 times since they have more money.. Oh so Katy is immune to flops? When the second single flops it doesn't matter because they can always rely on Roar's success? Anyway it was clear from the beginning that no one was here for uncle yet it still reached a higher airplay than something like DWUW which was stable for a very long while and has consistently outsold uncle.

What are u even talkin about ? The song flopped and It peaked at around 80M AI which may be a lot for Gaga but It's nothing for Katy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Adrenaline 1,518 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 it's just so frustrating seeing that radio will eat up everything Katy releases .... Uncle wasn't even able to crack the top 10 on iTunes and gained 80Ai in less than 3 weeks that's unbelievable, when songs like Applause, which was in the top 5 of iTunes through most of the times, needed 3 whole months to peak at 120Ai and now DH isn't even official top 40 single and it's getting bigger updates than DWUW which was released on 11.4 to radio and it's still below 80Ai ... radio is just full bs It's much more fun to have hizophrenia... u never get lonely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills 446 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 What reason would they have to play it that much when they know people aren't interested in it? There are very few occasions when radio pushes a song very hard, despite not being huge digital sellers. The most recent one I could think of, aside from KP's Unconditionally, would be Maroon 5's Daylight - a song that was a decent hit in the digital songs charts but was a massive hit on radio. So I believe the same applies with KP. But then again, I'm not completely crossing out the possibility of a chart manoeuvring. It's a possibility, yes. But for it to be the main driver of KP's success on radio completely? I'd say no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HYPERCRUSH 42 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 They can't release the video 2 days before XMAS and I seriously will be so pissed if they release It after NY I won't even care about it .. your loss then. :toofloppy: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariano 958 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 your loss then. :toofloppy: why ? I didn't say I won't watch it .. I meant that they are screwing up Gaga's career so easily .. I mean do they even realize that what they did with Gaga was something phenomenal ? They are ruining everything so easily ... Just like Christina's career .. She have some of the most iconic songs like Hurt, Genie in a bottle, Beautiful, The voice within and more and then they forced her to jump on the Gaga bandwagon with the weird and fierce Image + Dance music and she flopped so hard and now Interscope is trying to do the same with Gaga, without realizing that she was the one to change the pop music again, not the one who followed trends and became famous like Rihanna and Katy ... And I don't stan neither for success nor even the material .. I stan for Gaga because she is amazing and I will always stan for her but at least choose between making POP Music or making Music that you want and **** OFF Interscope and yeah ... She can't be always in between like right now .. ARTPOP is nothing new apart from 2-3 songs and she is trying to make people believe in her Ideas .. and the one responsible for that is Troy .. ok he is gone now, but why are we still seeing problems in her team ? The video should have been released month ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like poker fist said, it's very similar to Maroon 5 radioplay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bye 3,947 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 She really does need the video, its streaming (hopefully even without the help of the banners) along with the sales boost from the performance might give her a chance to finally peak in the top 10. The PR on KIIS helps a lot too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
