You may remember this girl's song "Red Cup", which saw some CHR action last summer. This has a few adds on the report so far. It's a remake of a song originally done by Rock Mafia, which dented the top 50 in early 2011.

I dunno if Im ok with this taking off. I didn't like it when RM did it 3 years ago. Plus Clear Channel is backing this up (my local station just added it and its a major city).

Yeah, there's an "On The Verge" radio deal for this similar to the one for "Tonight You're Perfect" by New Politics on Hot AC and "Keep Them Kisses Comin'" by Craig Campbell at Country radio. That's annoying. |

I love the original! This is... pretty much a note for note cover with very similar production (plus a few random clicks in the background?) and a similarly questionable font on the single cover, so it offers nothing new for me and Katy Tiz doesn't make it feel like her own song at all apart from a less quirky vocal. Can we have Rock Mafia's new single "Good Life" instead? It's very good and more fresh. |

"Red Cup" and "Famous" were so fun and catchy, but this is pretty blah. I vaguely remember not liking the original either.

This is just so frumpy. I really don't see young people posting this everywhere on social media and so many adults are gonna dislike the message of this song (religion).
EDIT: God even KIIS is on board now (And they still didn't add HAIM and 5SOS like they said they would).

I'm so tired of this flop. No one's biting and rightfully so.

Crooked Smile and Take Me Home had one as well. These used to only feature a unique artist intro/backstory to the song but after The Man got going, it seems like it turned into a playlisting deal for the radio block as opposed to the old CC Deals which focuses on heavy airplay for a day. These seem more subtle because songs with the deal won't cause a huge amount of airplay within a few days of radio premier. In short, this song is being added in an almost identical manner to how any Matchbox 20/Rob Thomas song is added to Cumulus stations (the whole block pitches in from the start).
EDIT: The Z100 add just came in...

Demi and American Authors go Top 10, 5SOS and and HAIM get announced as adds, Lady Gaga releases a new video... and this is what KIIS ends up adding? Oh, brother.

The fuck? No. Just no. If this actually takes off, I'm charting Rock Mafia's original, far superior version to spite this.

When I heard this on the radio last week, the introduction to it sounded like an advertisement. I was convinced they were only going to play thirty seconds of it. They've found some roundabout way of throwing money at this without calling it Payola.
This is like when they tried to to make that awful "Overdrive" song from Mean Girls happen. Stop trying to make Katy Tiz happen. It's not going to happen.

I remember the original because I kept hearing it in southern France a lot in Spring '11. It was an odd balance of catchiness and obnoxiousness, aka one of those songs that gets stuck in your head when you don't want it to, aka one of those songs the world simply doesn't need. This new version somehow sounds... much worse? Stop trying to make Katy Tiz happen. WHO IS SHE THO. So many of you seem to be somewhat pre-acquainted. |

The hook is a science lesson. No thanks. And the song itself isn't catchy enough to make up for that.

Oh wow at the payola/adds, are they trying to one-up Krewella?  I'm legit surprised this is still possible in 2014, and why this song/Katy Tiz of all things was selected for the opportunity I do not get. |

I honestly think this is some kind of elaborate April fool's joke. Think about it...only Clear Channel adds this and no one else? Katy used to do electropop and she releases on of the most random covers I can think of? Plus for them to be playing this on April fool's, they had to add this yesterday because April fool's falls on Tuesday and CC usually plays thier new adds between Wednesday and Thursday. Coincidence? Even the album cover looks like an edit from MS Paint and she doesn't even have a record label listed for this song on Mediabase.
I think/hope that maybe this is some genius marketing method to get Katy's name out there through this stunt and allow her to easily push a summer club banger up the airplay charts. I'm probably way to optimistic regarding this though.

I like this song a lot. Her voice is almost identical to Pixie Lott.
