Yea I like this a lot now, but all I think about, in regards to the video, is how badly photoshopped/cropped her hair is in relation to that background. They should've removed her all together and made that the lyric video for the time being.

I'm glad it's holding pretty well on iTunes!
Yeah! It would be great if that video was a lyric video instead.

The video is just too boring. It goes nowhere and I actually don't even think the visuals are too good. The song is real cute though! I think it needs a better melody but the production is great! It's a good way to start the album era, I'm sure the rest of the album will be more left wing.

Is Gwen older than Mariah? Depending on the "actual" year, YES and NO If it were to come from Mariah it would be 1970 which would be YES and if the Social Security Office were to get involved it would be NO but only by about 5-6 months.

I remember the scandal when people were like "is Mariah 39 or 40? Cuz all that depends on radio." Lol I think radio is more lax lately regarding age, at least to some point.

I love that it's spin count has increased each day since the radio deal so far!
So this spent a full three days in the top ten of itunes and it is still inside the top 20...pretty good for the first week out. Streams have picked up a little bit too...hoping for a top 30 debut on the Hot 100 next week.

The Ageless Chanteuse proving that ageism is a b!tch. I won't say that out loud just yet. Gwen is (was) a big star, so it's not rare that they give this a try (or Fergie for that matters) specially since she didn't release new material in years, but that doesn't mean radio don't drop this like a hot potato in the next couple of weeks (it won't be the first time)

Mariah and Jennifer Lopez both had singles start off really strong in the past couple of years and then hit a brick wall after being out for a few weeks. It's too early to say Gwen's age isn't affecting her radio performance.

let the song complete its 1st week on radio at least then we will see what happens after the 8th day, which i expect would be disastrous

And we have Give me all your luvin' which almost peaked in its first week, stalled two more weeks and it was out of the chart in what it would be its 6th week.
It's true the song it's doing really well, and if she is able to hold the sales she will have a chance, but it's good to remember that Settle Down looked for a while to be a way bigger hit than it finally was

Plus didn't No Doubt's Settle Down have a pretty quick beginning only to peak around the Top 20 or so?
edit: jjose kind of eluded to that already lol

Most lead singles by an act that is still a big name get a good start on radio, not all end up becoming hits in the end.
The only recent one I can recall that went nowhere out of the gate was Run The World.

Yeah I wouldn't be celebrating just yet especially since it is declining pretty rapidly now on Itunes. I really wish they had made a better video for it which I think could have been integral to "introducing" Gwen to a "new" audience of pop listeners. I mean, yes everyone knows who Gwen is, but its been a long time since she had a solo cd or true hit. Obviously, airplay is going great right now, her label seems behind her, and I am assuming we have a huge Voice performance upcoming so I am crossing my fingers that this goes the distance and isn't one that hits a wall before hitting top 10.

I don't really understand people who are like "But Gwen doesn't LOOK 40+". The issue of ageism at radio seems mostly based on giving priority to newer artists rather than "veteran" acts coupled with the fact that the target demo usually does not harbor any particular affinity for artists older than a certain age because they likely were not old enough to fully grasp their importance. So I don't think it has much to do with looking older than 35. although that certainly factors into the public's perception of a female act attempting a comeback, I don't think looking younger will reverse the ageism at radio.

Ummm, this needs to stabilize asap considering those huge radio updates. It's almost out of Top 30 on iTunes.
Gwen's vocals or whoever (over)produced them should accept the blame if the song ends up doing nothing.

Regarding the ageism: I sometimes ask myself before complaining "Could I relate to him/her/them now?" If the answer is no, who would anyone else really?
This applies most to rock music these days though...there are hundreds of bands and artists that I don't give a damn about any more because either they're not what they used to be or they are EXACTLY what they used to be.
Ageism is not necessarily about looks and appearance at all. It's about the music, appearance, trends...the whole package.

Yes. I've been saying for a while now that radio isn't 'ageist' to be ageist and that they're out to get all artists over 38 or whatever. It's about demographics and appeal of these long-established artists to the main demographic. For an 18 year old, Gwen is yesterday's news. For a 28 year old, Gwen is a goddess.
