Outside of the core fanbases of Zedd and Kesha, and attentive pop music followers, who is aware of this song yet? Just because it has enough sales from core supporters to make a dent on iTunes doesn't mean the casual fans are going to immediately realize it's there. It's not like people go scouring iTunes to find new music. People don't tend to look for something if they don't know it's there to look for.

Outside of the core fanbases of Zedd and Kesha, and attentive pop music followers, who is aware of this song yet? Well, a lot of people. Social media affords artists with a lot of coverage—which she does have, albeit not for her music—a lot of attention when they release something new. Twitter and tumblr lit UP when this dropped. Then there's the fact that this had been announced for a week or two (idr) prior to release. Word of this has had plenty of time to spread. I'm pretty disappointed with the performance on iTunes too, but hopefully it picks up with the single on radio... assuming Interscope supports this.

Well, I don't think its sales performance is THAT bad so far.

I believe Kesha did wrote it, but Dr. Luke didn't allow her to be featured in.

Curious if something's going on behind the scenes.
No longer on PlayIGA (still on the playlist, but not the main site).

Maybe they were expecting a bigger reception and now decided to abort it... I still think this is a hit, but might take a couple of months to do so.

I think this came out at the wrong time, lots of high profile releases last week and it got overshadowed

I hope the adds date has been pushed back and it hasn't been pulled out. No longer on PlayIGA (still on the playlist, but not the main site). The playlist takes longer to update, so it's not looking good.
Although it has been mentioned that Kesha didn't have any involvement in the first/album version of "True Colors", I want to add the following. When Zedd's album, which shares the same name as this song, leaked a week earlier than expected, there were some D/L available in the net and the '(feat. Kesha)' was on the title track. Many people thought that Kesha was indeed singing the track, but it was clarified (I think it was Rukes?) that she wasn't part of it and it was Tim James who did the vocals. That said, it's really a coincidence that after all the misunderstanding towards this song when the album came out almost a year ago, Kesha actually sings on it and the lyrics (there are some minors changes with the original and becoming a little more personal, so I guess that's the reason why she's credited as a writer) suits her legal problems she has had with Dr. Luke in the last few years.

Anyone else a little suspicious that someone might be buying their way to this flopping on radio? It wouldn't be the first time we've seen that happen. See: Kelly Clarkson and Ciara.
