Now you say I got a Thai itch so good, so good, make you never wanna leave. YESSSS Selena. Sing about those exotic diseases that Justin gave you.
I still can't get enough of this song.

Why the f*** isn't she promoting this song? At this point, the strategy is looking pretty brilliant. Why waste your promo cachet (and talk show bookings) on a song that's already a huge hit, when you can use it to hype the album (and new single) you have coming out next month?

No TV promotion, low budget music video and it's a big SMASH hit. Slay Selena, i bet Interscope is enjoying.

Yea the video is borderline child pornography. Really creepy. Still love the song tho, but it's taken down a notch now because of the visuals I can't get out of my head.

Just because she looks young does not make it "borderline child pornography." She's literally half a decade out from that. I don't love the video either, but let's calm down.

She is an adult, but the way she has been styled and made up/made under makes her look far younger than that and it seems intentional. This whole idea of "young sexy" is really disturbing. I am all for looking young and youthful, but making them look like teens even though they are not is not right. It's getting gross. The idea and concept of it is gross, not Selena or the other singers being showcased in this manner.

The schtick is tired and it's been explained to you countless times. Please drop it.

This is like the opposite of ageism... she's an adult, and she can do however she pleases.

She may look young, but yeah she's an adult... can't expect a 23 year old to behave like she's 12 just because of her baby face.

Do you think it is okay that their youthfulness is being exploited in this manner? I would if it was, but it's not. First of all, "exploited" makes it sound like they have no control over their image. These girls know exactly what they're doing, and women have been doing it since '...Baby One More Time'. Secondly, because I'm pedantic, this whole conversation that you're trying to make about pushing some pedophilic culture fails to understand what pedophelia even is. It's an attraction to people who are underage, not an attraction to people who look younger than they actually are. This bizarre reimagining of "sex sells" to fit your agenda is, was, and will continue to be ridiculous.

I don't get it at all. I don't think she looks like a child in this, or any of her recent stuff. Ariana I get, she could pass for 17/18, but Selena..

A round face and big features. That's why people think she looks like a child... also probably because her face looks the same as when she was younger. I do agree they exaggerate, she can pass as 23 for me.

this is pretty low on itunes for being so close to the #1 spot on Pop Radio...i understand there hasn't been much tv promo but looks like a disconnect.

this is pretty low on itunes for being so close to the #1 spot on Pop Radio...i understand there hasn't been much tv promo but looks like a disconnect. Just to note: there are actually two versions of the song charting inside the Top 60. The second version - the explicit one - has siphoned away sales from the original version, which has caused it to fall from its Top 10 position on iTunes. From a total sales standpoint, however, the song has consistently been in the Top 10 on Billboard's Digital Songs chart. It's just that instead of the main version selling 65K a week, the split is, let's say, ~42K main version/~23K explicit version. I'm not saying those sales are AMAZING, but they're stronger than a quick look at iTunes would suggest. Moreover, you have to remember that the correlation between radio play and sales - particularly for established artists' singles - isn't a perfect, linear one. Many songs will reach their sales peak prior to hitting #1 at radio. The song is still at a respectable ~865K, and it should hit a million within a few weeks. In today's environment, I'll take that.

I agree.
