Everyone spam and ask to add I think back and give it a damn chance. They haven't even played it once and removed before even playing. How even is that. Same guy said Rise was better than Make Me. Maybe it's a "I hate Britney" thing. NOT FAIR. 

TWITTERS:

    My question is, do people even request other songs by other artists? How do they measure the popularity of a song? I can't imagine someone these days tweeting or calling a radio station to play a Beyoncé song or The Weeknd or stuff like that. Radio just play them and people eat it. Maybe there are fans like in this forum who are aware of those online polls or surveys, but the GP, a casual listener, won't go to their phones and computers and say "oh I liked this Ariana Grande song I heard earlier on the radio, I'm gonna rate it good so they keep playing it".

     

    It's gonna be really hard for Britney to have a hit again. It's been too long since her last huge hit. Two years without a hit is an eternity in music industry, and the longer it takes for her to come up with a smash hit, the harder it's gonna be to accomplish that. She's never been a radio's favorite. Her success was always thanks to her music videos, but the MTV / TRL days are gone.

    YT is the new scale to rate the videos' popularity, but Britney despite having multiple certified videos and such, has been left behind by all of the new acts that have come up these past years. If she released a SP kind of video in let's say, 2013 to follow up the success of Scream & Shout, it would've given her more longevity in GP's mind as a "cool artist". WB came too late in the year, S&S remix and OLL weren't that huge, or huge at all. WB was still some kind of fine, but Perfume really ruined it all. But what ruined it even more was leaving the entire 2014 with no single. Even Robotney in ISBE could've had a chance, but they didn't even try. Not even Alien. And then "coming back" in 2015 with that horrible video that it was Pretty Girls, with one of the most hated artists at the time, didn't help either. And then, having an amazing song like Tom's Diner, just to pay it dust, unforgivable.

    2016 has been an amazing year in terms of Britney coming back to the public's eye, as an image, as a brand, but they've done a poor job in putting her back into the music scene. Wasting the opportunity to premiere the new single at the BBMA. The messy release of MM, Glory being sold and thus leaking earlier than planned. Waiting a month to perform the lead single, only performing two songs of the album, doing festivals but no tv shows. I mean, almost everything they've done this year has been good, but there are still important things that are missing. I repeat, if you wait more than 4 years to have a huge hit, you miss your place in the music scene. You become a thing of the past. But if she kept releasing hits every year, they would still feel her as a current artist, like Rihanna, who never takes a long break.

    We can't blame them, because they actually tried. They really thought Perfume was gonna be groundbreaking. They really thought PG was gonna be huge. The thing is, ok, they saw it wasn't, they should've released something right away to correct their mistake, instead of leaving the flop Perfume to represent her "latest single" from December 2013 - May 2015 and then again with PG, being her latest single from May 2015 - July 2016. As an artist I think the worst they can do is "take a break" or a pause after a bad single, and leave that bad taste in GP's mouth for too long. You take a break after a smashing hit, so you leave people remembering you by that, and expecting your comeback more than anything else in the world. 

     

    Sorry for the long post, that's not even related to the OP's, but here take a Throwingshoeney :foh:

      So dumb it hasn't even been added  to most radio stations though.  Give it a few weeks and let the promo performances come. The song is legit radio hit material. Ugh why does britney always get screwed over. Its britney spears for crying out loud never in a million years I would think that the radio would deny her.

          tbh radio was never really there for brit.

          femme fatale was the outlier.

          freaking femme fatale out of the 9 albums of hers. :staysalty:

          Not true. Her songs do well when radio hosts decide to play them. Baby, oops, toxic, womanizer, circus, and I wanna go we're all number one radio hits. Crazy, 3, hold it against me, till the world ends, scream and shout, every time, and I believe stronger were all top five hits. If u seek Amy was a top ten hit and work , make me, me against the music, gimme more, and piece of me were all top twenty.

          The song never sounded like a hit so I don't understand why everyone here is shocked... 

           

          :sofedup::sofedup:

          That's an unpopular opinion.
