Man, this was already out of the first page?? Travesty. It isn't in the top 50 on Pop, so, it's not receiving updates...

Man......I've been a fan since ArchAndroid.....she's one of the most overlooked artists of this decade. I'm rooting for this so hard....how can this NOT be a hit?

This is depressing. We have all witnessed incredibly mediocre songs by incredibly mediocre "artists" exploding out of the gate, and yet this brilliant gem is just...sitting there, barely getting noticed. After Fergie's criminally underrated (and underperforming) Double Dutchess, I don't think my poor heart can take this flopping too. Pop radio, come on!!

It may not be exploding out of the gate, but it's doing really well for a Janelle Monae song. The buzz around it is strong, it's already over 2 million total streams on Spotify (her top song is literally just over 30 million) and the video is at 3.5 million views (her top video is only at 22 million). Also, not only did the song get higher than any other song by her ever on iTunes, it's still sitting at #39 as we near a week into release. This was never going to explode out of the gate on radio for a multitude of reasons. First off, unless you're as big as Lady Gaga in 2010, radio isn't going to immediately latch onto your song and spin on the hour every hour without some sort of paid deal, which Janelle was never going to be able to get. Secondly, she's never charted as a solo act here (or for that matter, really anywhere), so she's working with zero name recognition on the format. All that being said, let's look at the mock update for this song:
POP ?? ?? JANELLE MONAE Make Me Feel 99 0 99 0.849
RHYTHMIC ?? ?? JANELLE MONAE Make Me Feel 77 0 77 0.227
URBAN ?? ?? JANELLE MONAE Make Me Feel 17 0 17 0.178
URBAN AC ?? ?? JANELLE MONAE Make Me Feel 15 0 15 0.203
HOT AC ?? ?? JANELLE MONAE Make Me Feel 25 0 25 0.326
DANCE ?? ?? JANELLE MONAE Make Me Feel 3 0 3 0.006
AAA ?? ?? JANELLE MONAE Make Me Feel 14 0 14 0.064
That's a hell of a lot of formats giving this test spins! She has more formats latching onto the buzz than major artists with massively hypes releases do. This is showing all the signs of blowing up in the coming months. Like, "Uptown Funk"/"Blurred Lines" type of blowing up.
I wouldn't be surprised if this managed a pretty hefty amount of adds today when adding up across all of these formats. The ACs report theirs on Mondays instead of Tuesdays, and this snagged 5 adds on Hot AC and 1 on AAA. All of the rest report today (except Dance, which does not report adds for some reason).

In my opinion this could be the best song to come out this year so far.

I like that she kept the things that made her music unique while still using the "it" sound of Julia Michaels & Justin Tranter. I haven't seen anywhere on the internet calling her a sellout, which is usually how it goes when a more underground type works with a big name in songwriting or production.

Most viewed Janelle video is at 42 mi, that being Yoga Probbaly forgot about it since it's not on her TouTube channel, but the one made for the Wondaland EP cause that was necessary for whatever reason

Ok she’s only been on my radar since she collaborated with Grimes, but if this doesn’t scream multi-week number 1 smash, then nothing does. Perfect song and video.

Watch this get big solely due to being on so many formats at once.
Also holding surprisingly steady in the top 50 on iTunes. (!!!)

Honestly she is so slept on The whole Metropolis project is just the most cohesive and brilliant thing I've ever seen 7 parts to a project that so far has spawned over a period of 10+ years
And then she's managed to work with so many people on this project as well And the whole thing is just so much fun yet well written.
