craig 680 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 the promo spot is being wasted again . Why not say it's being saved for another week when the song needs a boost? Why would a casual fan who just saw her song with Xtina want to watch the same song in video form the same day? Not buying after the Voice, but watch again, and be persuaded to buy it by the video? You think she needs a performance to promote video views?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 680 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 The low pop update, combined with old hits gaining on itunes yesterday, suggests radio was doing a lot of end of year countdowns. Instead of DWUW in top 40 show, they do top 40 of year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANNOGABANG 4 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Why wouldn't it? It's an amazing song. The opening for the chorus is heaven. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc 4,775 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Z100 has spinned DWUW twice today already, 17 hours to go. KIIS has spinned DWUW once and Applause thrice with 20 hours to go, did they replace DWUW with Applause on PR??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think she needs a performance to promote video views?? This would've been the case if The Voice was the song's first or second performance The song was performed several times on TV, It's not hard to understand why the song needs a video. I don't know why u're trying it ... The video is late and It's not 1 week late It's already 2-3 weeks late .. It should've been released 3rd December as It was planned ..

Mariano 958 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 The video should've been released the week of ARTPOP's release guys No. That's when we thought It will be perfect. Then 3rd of december was actually the best case and It was a bit late but still perfect. Now ... ----- a222231 -___________________ 1`~~~~~~~~~ 4 dfa 0.

bumblebee 2,528 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 There are so much uncertain things about Do What U Want on the radio. I know it's OK for a song to get unpredictably high and low updates at this time of the year, but once the freeze is over On Pop, the top 3 seems to be locked by Eminem, Pitbull and Onerepublic for next month I think. I don't know if those songs are anywhere near their peak. Monster is still getting massive updates even though it's just 700 spins away from Wake Me Up and Roar peaks. Demons by Imagine Dragons is also very steady. Avicii is falling but seems like he'll be descending very slowly, since the song is the longest running hit from August/September. Zedd is ahead of Gaga (ironically) and rising with app. the same speed. She'll be kinda stuck at No.7 for some time, and needs to constantly gain so that she overtakes dem top songs once they start falling.Besides, there are songs like Sweater Weather, Burn, Let Her Go and Story of My Life which are less than 1,000 spins from her and are also gaining strongly On the overall radio: it's kinda a positive side that Do What U Want hasn't even crossed the 80M AI yet. It means the real exposure on the radio is still to come, and the song has a space to grow (maybe it's because APPLAUSE still gets 5,000 spins a week and 65M AI :mistlederp: ) But there're top songs which are growing fast and occupying the top 3 in the nearest month probably, while Avicii, Lorde and Imagine Dragons will take some time to leave the top 10 and fall behind Gaga. Besides, there're Let Her Go and Stay The Night which are ahead of Gaga and also rising. No.8 is on the overall radio is a peak for Gaga for the next 10-14 days, so maybe that's why they don't release the video? Because even with the streaming and sales boost she won't move further on the radio than No.8? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It's not hard to understand why the song needs a video. I don't know why u're trying it . Most people who watch a video either: 1) Were directed by Vevo banners (which no longer exist) 2) Just want to hear the song (so will be happy with live performance etc). 3) Watch it cause it just came out (which means an early video wouldn't be helping much now), 4) Watch cause it went viral (rarity) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm scared that the current pop smashes will overshadow DWUW and make it almost impossible for DWUW to get into PR at many stations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
