With no streaming or anything, it's the end of "New Romantics". She could've released it later if she wanted to take her time on the music video.
Reaches a new peak, #61, on Billboard Hot 100. (Last week: #62)

If there is a video, the only way releasing it now would be helpful is if it's for a new remix of the song or something.

"Featuring never before seen, behind-the-scenes and live footage from The 1989 World Tour, the ‘New Romantics’ music video is a love letter to her fans and a celebration of the 1989 era."

Video was nice enough as a way to end the era. That's all though.
Apple Music exclusive is pointless.

Ah, that explains the sudden surge on the iTunes chart.

It's like she wants it to flopdontcurr Once her lobbying for the AOTY Grammy paid off, I think no fucks were remaining regarding this project. It's done exactly what she wanted it to do. From her statements and interviews over the past year, even she isn't 100% sure what the next musical chapter of her career will exactly be like at this time.

Yea, and it wouldn't surprise me if the decision to release this was purely on Scott/the label. She seemed to have checked out from this era right when that AOTY came in and judging from her acceptance speeches/instagram/twitter posts, is itching for this campaign to end. I mean taking a tour footage video, making it an Apple Music exclusive, and then releasing it 5 days into the streaming tracking week doesn't suggest they actually care where New Romantics ends up charting.

I don't think there will be another single after this one. Great end to this "1989" era althrough. I liked the video for what it was.

#12 on iTunes. I really think if she were to perform this it would have a shot of being at least a minor hit.

I wouldn't say so, not if it ends up plummeting down the chart like OOTW did.. But I think we all have our own bars for success anyways.

Available everywhere after April 13th. So this will be Apple Music exclusive just for a week.

Could be talking about Hot 100. Hot 100 aside, it made the top 20 on both pop and on iTunes. That's better than a vast majority of songs.

Disappointing video.
This song will be another flop.

Granted, let's be real. It's all about her lack of streaming. We all know they are after Katy's record. But why release 2 singles and not have them on streaming still? Style didn't go #1, why would those? If it were me, they should flip-flopped them. NR could've been a #1 contender, but they blew it. If you're talking about Pop, then I guess there was just something magical about Katy since she was a new artist, and that's probably it. Carrying an established artist 7 singles deep just isn't happening. Same thing happened with Gaga during her debut.

This hasn't been true ever since the release (and then complete lack of any promotion) of Style. Stop trying to make this campaign an imaginary competition for Katy's #1's. You've said this same thing multiple times, let it go.

Maybe not on the Hot 100 side of things (which I'm sure they were post-Bad Blood), but definitely on the Pop side of things.
