It's obviuos that Katy airplay is payola.

 

And don't tell me that radios like her because with 'Uncondiotionally' we all see what happened.

ARTPOP #56

Gaga breaks the silence with 5 tweets so far today and we still don't know what's going on ...  :lmao:

 

When will your fave??? :legend:

 

I just can't shake the feeling though ... First DJWS says they (who ever they are) are back in the studio, then Temple gets registered, and then Gaga says that they're shooting a new video this week ... Please tell me all of this is pure coincidence ...

Dark Horse obviously ain't radio payola. Top 40 radio (Top 40 (Hot) AC, Top 40 Rhythmic, Top 40 Pop) plays the most popular songs. DH is #1 on iTunes so, unless they're biased, they'll put it in PR.

Ok but why the airplay becomes monstruos the same day that they announced that it was official a single (I remember it well).. The iTunes is a conseguence of the very high airplay... For me it's payola but also 'Roar'...

It's not payola.  They were playing DH and Unconditionally at the same time .. they didn't like Uncle and the moment they found out that DH is getting released due to Interest, they just dropped uncle and started overplaying Dark Horse, which on the other hand Immediately went top 10 on Itunes str8 to the top.

Agreed. I honestly don't understand why would any label resort to payola for a single to be fully supported by radio when the material itself is popular enough on its own merits. For a lead single? Very likely. But for the rest of the album? Doubt it. Then there's also the fact that KP had long established a great run on radio thanks to Teenage Dream. Wouldn't that be compelling enough for some, if not most, radio stations to somehow prioritize her songs one way or another - instead of merely being dependent to payola?

The same will happen to Venus, from the first day it'll go #10 on iTunes and being officially announced as a single it'll get +5M updates every day :legend::messga: if only

I seriously think that Venus won't get picked up by radio if it's not OBVIOUSLY smashing. It really needs a few US promo spots, video release, etc in a short time span.

Katy Perry is the most radio friendly. Even tho I don't really listen to her music, I can chill in some cafe and radio playing Katy the whole day and I wouldn't mind ..

But we are talking about planet Earth and more specifically USA,  not about what may or may not happen on planet VENUS '.'

Venus will make everybody buy ARTPOP.

Scary though. What if people rush to their local store too fast and turn off the radio because they're about to buy ARTPOP after hearing the first few seconds of Venus? That would make radio think people don't like the song

It's only an opinion, at the end nobody here can know for sure if there is payola or not... I wouldn't be surprise if there is at the end to be honest...
