Pierre 10,480 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I think Birthday and G.U.Y. will have a similiar grow on radio. Either it's going to flop either it's going to be hits... Or maybe 1 is a hit and the other is top 200. Radio loves Katy, she can't send a demo to radio and they will love it, so funny, so cute, so pop. ❝Is not blue, not turquoise, not lapis.

Mariano 958 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 You really can't compare Gaga and Katy on the radio. We all know the radio loves Katy. Once they hear she's releasing another single, they start to spin her song right away. It has never been that way for Gaga. She was never a radio darling like Katy. Plus, Katy has come off two smash singles. Radio would automatically want to play her next song, the same can't be said for Gaga. It's useless to keep making that comparison. It's like beating a dead horse, now. Also, before someone says this is an "excuse", anyone that follows the charts and listen to radio knows this. Ok.. Someone says how GUY and Birthday will have similar run on the radio. I am saying that It's nonsense and people come for me saying how It's not fair to compare GUY and Birthday I know all these facts. In fact they support my point so I can't understand why are u replying to my comment ... I'd never compare Gaga's single with Katy's because It's obvious which song will shoot up to top 10 and which song won't .. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Speaking of Pop radio 38 -1 HOT CHELLE RAE Don't Say Goodnight #785 on iTunes 42 = NEW HOLLOW She Ain't You #974 on iTunes 43 -2 MARIAH CAREY You're Mine (Eternal) Not in the top 1500 45 = KATY PERRY Birthday #493 on iTunes 46 = AFROJACK Ten Feet Tall f/Wrabel #620 on iTunes 39 +1 LADY GAGA G.U.Y. #496 on iTunes We're not alone We never were!! I gave examples two days ago of songs in the past year and then songs in the past month, that had the same AI as G.U.Y. and the same iTunes position. Until a song reaches a certain overall AI and until that song has been played enough to be heard several times by the same people, you can't really determine what will happen with a song long term. It's simply impossible to do! Don't get me wrong, I do believe this single is going to be a "hard sell", for various reasons, and said that exact thing when hearing that G.U.Y. was a possibility. It's still too early to tell and I'm hoping some of my concerns over this song end up being wrong! :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpadesToStart 3,465 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 They're scared of playing anything in which Gaga is involved. Although that's not really true since they played Applause and DWUW a lot (a lot for Gaga, still so little spins compared to smash hits). They're terrified of playing Gaga when the song is brand new. Applause didn't get big radio support until more than a month after it was released and they were sure people liked it. Really, they're chickens. This is why G.U.Y. needs promo peformances, because radio is obviously not going to take the lead on this single. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpadesToStart 3,465 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I will never understand why Radios don't play Gaga's songs tho We really need to pressure KIIS and Z100, who both have yet to play the song at all during the day. A daily daytime spin from them would make a HUGE difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariano 958 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I am just a bit worryied with it's Itunes position. Radio is just fine (could've been better) but a normal Gaga single (prior to ARTPOP) would always float in lower 100s by now.. Obviously any other song from not that popular artist would be doing same as GUY at the beginning but .. This is Gaga and just shows us how she has declined .. I believe she'll come back strong tho But even if she doesn't I don't care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco 731 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 This happens every single cycle. People say "don't expect the next single to smash" and then when it doesn't the ones who were saying that are the first to say "I can't believe this song is doing so badly" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
