This song doesn't seem to be too popular, but for some reason I love it lol. I love the beat and Mo grew on me a lot. Oh well.

I adore Iggy, but I just can't really get into this. I think it's a combination of the fact that Mo sounds like a low rent version of Charli, and the chorus sounds like the even cheaper version of Fancy. That combined with the phrase "Beg For It" which was not prominent in Black Widow, but still stuck out to me, makes me feel like she's getting a little too gimmicky. That combined with the fact that she is pretty much using the same formula perfected by Flo Rida / Pit Bull in that she raps the verses and lets a girl sing the chorus and bridge. Well apparently the next single will be yet another collab, Heavy Crown or Trouble, both are quite different sounding to the previous ones but she also tweeted a fan saying she plans focusing on solo singles for her second album: and since this reissue is technically the same era as her debut album + we're still on the year she became a proper mainstream artist she has a lot of time, secure radio's support so they'll still play her upcoming stuff I guess, plus it's nice that her actual first single was Work and that ended up being certified Platinum/one of her signature songs anyway.

Our stations here have swapped out BW for this and is giving it mad spins. The length of her tracks are great for radio replay value.

I think this could go #1 Hot 100 by the time the video comes out depending on her streaming. I think Urban us starting to latch on.

The performance didn't move the needle all that much on iTunes. I think people are just kind of meh on this, because its a pretty meh rehash.
The video will probably shoot it top 10 for her though.

Her performance was OK, but she was kinda swallowed up by the production. They should have just let Charli stay on stage and sing the hook for Beg For It.

Lol MØ not being included after that SNL mess. I wonder why she didn't sang? That would have been a good opportunity for her. I wonder it's a decision from her/her label or Iggy's team.

Willing to bet it was Iggy's team/label that made the call. That SNL performance was a complete disaster solely because of MØ.

MØ was dragged for that performance so I wouldn't put it past that MØ herself was the one to back out of something on an even bigger scale.

How do we know she wasn't just sick or something? That could always be a possibility... (Unlikely, maybe, but still a possibility)

Not sure why people are freaking out about the performance of this song. Doesn't seem like it'll have trouble going top ten...The updates remain quite strong for a song that really does feel like a poor man's version of her first major single.
If people want to freak out about something, freak out about a second wave of light interest in her album. I know you can't expect a re-release to sell particularly well, but insofar as the original album didn't sell especially well out of the gate (a fact we wanted to blame on her not being too established when it came out), this represented a good chance for new fans to get on board (especially since there are high-profile new songs).
We saw success with similar Kesha and Lady Gaga releases, and both of their albums had sold far more cumulative copies at the time the re-releases hit.
But based on iTunes sales, we're looking at a very low sum this week.

Both Kesha'a and Lady Gaga's releases contained all new material. This has been repackaged with both old and new. If she had released the new songs as an EP like the previous stated artists did than it would be the same scenario.

Could be wrong about the Kesha release, but I'm positive Gaga sold an enormous amount of the entire old+new package... And even if you don't love the comparison to those two artists, sales still don't look remotely strong for this release. And that's far more concerning when it comes to her overall star wattage than having a song that is tracking to go Top 10 but perhaps won't hit #1

Well if the actual debut album didn't necessarily sell A LOT while she was at her music exposure peak so far during the Summer (in part because of the bad sales climate etc. but still) I don't see why they thought a repackaged version like this would, which is why I've mentioned this messy reissue and the "campaign" around here several times to the distaste of certain users lol because I really don't understand the point. But then again I guess they really just wanted to keep new Iggy music out there during the holidays for the fans and on radio while she gets ready for the tour and works on the actual second album. Katy and Nicki's more recent album re-releases sold like 30-35k first week if I'm not mistaken, and they obviously had a much bigger situation surrounding them anyway.
