I thought he had an hourly deal?
I like this and purchased it. It's a little more polished than his prior stuff but it still sounds enough like him. I'm a little surprised this hit num.1 at Itunes so quickly seeing the radio stats from yesterday weren't that great.

I'm a little surprised this hit num.1 at Itunes so quickly seeing the radio stats from yesterday weren't that great. Nothing suggests that he was going to or did have one. One hit does not a radio darling make. He just simply doesn't appeal to radio as an artist enough to warrant a deal or massive first day spins. He does, however, have a very large following on the Internet, and that's always shown in his initial release on iTunes. I believe "Stitches" made the top ten on iTunes upon release too, but took months upon months to even get noticed at radio. The first day for this is the largest first day for him ever in both airplay and sales. Probably streaming too, but I don't know his streaming history very well. I saw a comparison to Under My Skin! That makes me really want to check this out! I was never into "Stitches." I didn't dislike it, but didn't like it either. That's how I was for pretty much all of his material I've heard.

^^^ It sounded like he was getting a deal from a couple of posts in this thread. ^^^ A lot of people seem to know almost inside info on here through twitter, instragram etc etc. I agree with just about everything you said in your post.

^^^ It sounded like he was getting a deal from a couple of posts in this thread. ^^^ I only see three posts. One asked if it was going to happen, one responded that they would bet that it would. The third said they heard on their own local radio station that it was. Given that it only had 219-ish spins suggests that maybe a few stations might have done it, but it doesn't sound like a big conglomerate did it.

I don't know why I thought that. Someone answered the question about this getting a radio deal so confidently that I must have assumed it was. I knew when I saw the 219 spins that there wasn't a radio deal.

I'm a little surprised this hit num.1 at Itunes so quickly seeing the radio stats from yesterday weren't that great. Life of the party was number one on itunes with zero radio play (in fact his team insisted that the song wouldn't be a radio single which was the first of many mistakes on his releases). I was expecting him to release something because Stitches is still on the charts and it will be a pity not take profit of the success of the song (with artist so young it's better not wait too much for second album)

Definitely his best song. Really like it. Liked Stitches as well but it got annoying fast. IKWYDLS was decent but at the same time a bit bland as well.

Given that it only had 219-ish spins suggests that maybe a few stations might have done it, but it doesn't sound like a big conglomerate did it. I heard the tail end of it twice on Friday on an iHeart pop station, both in the morning and in the afternoon... both at the top of the hour. I did hear the DJ outro the song briefly the second time. I couldn't even tell you if the song was live or the recording. I mention this because that - along with the link below - tell me there's a good chance that what i heard may have been part of the exclusive "premiere" arrangement. I don't have any reason to believe it was hourly. And maybe it was just the live performance (plus whatever stations decided to play the song on their own) - which may explain the lower than usual spin count for an exclusive. www.iheart.com/news/iheartradio-world-premiere-event-with-shawn-14774874/

The clip sounds straight up Under My Skin. I'm excited! Like in Avril Lavigne or is there some other UMS I don't know, because this sounds nothing like that (nor the clip).

Coming out as straight is never a good idea for basically two reasons, first there's a lot of chances you end upsetting a lot of people in the process (fortunately Shaws was smart enough to avoid that) and second, in the end it doesn't work. Saying you are straight has zero effect in the rumours (maybe because most celebrities that came out had a previous history of denying being gay), and sometimes even have the opposite effect. If a celebrity is straight gay rumours (which seem quite common when someone is being successful in hollywood) tend to disappear with time (and when they don't disappear the odds are in favour that the celebrity is not straight after all), so in my opinon singers, actor and other celebrities do better avoiding the subject, unless of course they are directly questioned. Anyway, it's a luck that he is so polite, i don't think it will help his cause but at least he came accross as articulate and smart

I think the song is catchy enough, but goddamn is this entitled as shit. I hate this "I'm so much nicer than him so I deserve you" motif that seems to pollute pop radio. Like bruh, you don't earn a girl like a gold star for being a good guy.
