This is actually doing much better digitally than I would've expected. Considering Katy Tiz is a no name whose other tracks did nothing on iTunes...this being at #133 is sort of noteworthy. Other tracks who have cracked the lower ends of the Top 40 on radio have had problems entering the Top 200 on iTunes.

Looks like it worked: according to AllAccess and Mediabase, either she's been signed or this is getting distributed by Atlantic Records. *golf clap*

If Clear Channel has become the go-to business to force you a record deal, here is my suggestion for thier next project.

Mediabase had this listed with no label and it now shows RMR/b/Atlantic (RMR is Rock Mafia; no clue what "b" is, but there's a logo in the ad below).

I feel like this song is such a burden for Clear Channel PD's.

I'm surprised this is still going at radio. Clear Channel must really want this to be a hit.

I see her being a one-hit wonder (Even if this will end up considered a hit). Her only hope to get something else would be the overaggressive push she's been getting by her label which could eventually negatively impact her after awhile if people just don't like her songs.

To think of all the songs with actual potential they could've given this exposure to instead. Or alternatively you'd think getting a stronger song for Katy Tiz would cost less than what they've spent on this.
Must say I'm very surprised it's actually selling well though (unless it's being whored out on the iTunes front page or something).

It's featured under New Releases this week due to its re-release (last week) under Atlantic.

VERY good callout scores. With 75.4% familiarity, this has 2nd highest positive, only 25th highest favorite though, 9th lowest negative, 5th highest net positive.

As much as I hate this whole situation and transparent pseudo-payola, I did love "Red Cup" and "Famous," so I'm not uninterested in her releasing a full LP.
It just better be better than this song.

Even though this isn't a bad song, I'd hate to see it succeed because of how it got onto the charts.

It's just weird to get a "hit" from someone else's song starting from a paid deal. I'm shocked this still has a bullet. I would have thought as soon as the deal wore off it would have started to plummet.

Wow, I had no idea the story behind this. I heard it on KIIS Los Angeles the other day and was like "WTH, why are they playing this old ass Mob Wives theme?!" Weird.

LOL. "Classic" started better off than this on callouts, and that hasn't even moved in the month since it appeared.

Seriously irritating. The RM version is a gazillion times better as is the video.

I'm late but, I'm not upset about the whole arrangement. Partially because I knew and liked katy before this. I just don't like it was for THIS song.
I think Katy and Rock Mafia could do better than a cover. She has a lot of potential. But I'm Leary this may hurt her long run...
