Music not the bling. Charting is cool, but it's kinda irrelevant in 2021 no? 

I'll prob eat my words when Britney returns and reclaims her Hot 100 throne

For comparison, Pokémon 25's first single, Post Malone's Only Wanna Be With You, charted at #74 on the Hot 100.

The Pokémon fanbase is comprised of mostly adults by now, and though they've been slowly acknowledging the fact in recent years, Pokémon still acts as if they thought the vast majority of their fans were kids, which is not true. 

The general consensus I feel among the Pokémon fandom is that they don't identify with the artists they've announced for this project, yet they understand they're catering to the young audiences. But apparently young audiences couldn't care less about these songs, or a 25th anniversary. 

Generally, I think Post Malone's song was more well received, mostly because of the sampling of the game's music, but other than that I don't think it's something anyone asked for.

 

For artists that have videos with over a billion views, you'd expect any song they put on their channel to be an instant hit, but I'm just checking the numbers of Katy's Smile era videos, and now I get why the Pokémon song only got 20M views so far

Katy, beg dr Luke and circuit to come back, #metoo is so over, no one is gonna cancel a hitmaker.

They are over. 

 

Dr. Luke had to change his name, I don't know.  I mean sony fired him, bought his label. He's cancelled.  Jlo got heat for ain't your mama, but Meghan trainer revealed she literally just copied and pasted the song. Just sing over the instrumental

They should have done this album, during Pokemon go.

 

But like you said they are trying to appeal to an audience that isn't checking for them.

Can we talk about the fact that Katy’s obnoxiously shaded and disrespected Mariah, Britney and Taylor? 
 

Those are the 3 best selling female artists of three separate decades: Mariah (90s), Britney (00s) and Taylor (10s).

 

And now her career is in the toilet. Who would’ve expected?

[Fabricio Alex]

and we have a total of "ZERO people" surprised.

The song is.... meh

I was gonna say, or when they released the Detective Pikachu movie, then I searched the song, and Rita Ora is there

why is she everywhere, yet always passes unnoticed?  @CrazyButItFeelsAllright

GET IT TOGETHER KATY HUDSON

This thread is so annoying. Knowing most of people here don't really care about Katy unless she's failing. Rotten values you got there.

This is weird since Taylor literally branded two of her songs (LWYMMD, BB) just to diss Katy, and she's not being called out for it.

Electric failed to connect with the Pokemon fans, since Katy used Pikachu like a side character of her own story in the music video.

But with Katy's current relevancy, it's impossible for her to cross 500 million views with any music videos she'll put out in the future. But Pokemon company is probably looking for profit, knowing Katy's huge impact in promotion just based of her social media pages alone.

And just a fun fact, Harley Davidson earned almost $40 million dollar revenue with Harleys In Hawaii, despite the track failed to chart on BBH100 and with only more than 30 million views on YouTube.

Can your fave's flop single do that?
