Why isn’t Charli XCX’s Used To Know Me a bop?

A major question I have is: when I play this song, why don’t My friends already know it?

im very uncomfortable as a music innovator 😂…but I feel like this song is a universal bop (especially with the music video with the two gods of backup dancing)…why dont people

know it?

People don't know it cos her label is Atlantic. 

 

And the budget went to Ed Sheeran and Cardi B..

 

Both are flopping in the US same with Lizzo, while lizzo is talented, the problem is her weight, she might say her doctor's are saying she's healthy, but the problem is it is a fetish, especially in the hub and in the gay community called Bears.

 

But nobody wants to see someone of her size in basically nothing.  

 

I feel it's turning people off..

 

Atlantic is the most hated label today.

Ohhhh this is an interesting take that I haven’t thought of…maybe current payola is more indirect, labels paying for ads to channel traffic to an influencer??

I agree with you that payola seems alive and well…but how it works is a mystery to me. And I don’t think one of the payola influencers would ever convince me to listen to a song/watch the video. I learned about the song & video here on BH.

@JayTawndre how did you hear about the video debut Used To Know Me? You are the reason I first watched it…and now I’m obsessed (especially with the backup dancers).

I saw it pop up on YouTube (the video) 💅
