The callouts on this aren't awful but there not good either except it's the 2nd lowest favorite on the list which looks bad. However it's negative score is very low which is good and it's net positive is average along with it's potential score. Hopefully those good things out score the bad and this keeps going for a little longer.

I think what radio's been doing lately is ignoring less than stellar positive scores if the negative score is way down. It means that people aren't necessarily super enthused if it comes on, but they aren't about to change the station either. That would work to this song's advantage if radio can play it without people wanting to switch off. @antigonerising is better at explaining this but I think that's what's up.
Also if pop radio does pick this up to a somewhat decent level then maybe the airplay alone might be enough to get it into the top 40 (and hopefully be enough to encourage RCA to send the follow-up to pop as well as Hot AC when they finally move on).

Iโm quite enjoying these last few updates. Itโs done by far more than what I expected, so thatโs good in my eyes. She is a longevity queen.

Whatโs taking so long on it topping hot AC? It would be nice to see Pink top that chart even if it doesnโt get much further on Pop. Though Iโd love to see it make the top 20 or more, Iโm also okay with a next single soonish.

Though Iโd love to see it make the top 20 or more, Iโm also okay with a next single soonish. Jonas Brothers won't die on hot AC. 152 spins separate Sucker and Walk Me Home and thankfully Sucker has started to lose spins, but painstakingly slow! It only lost 5 spins today, but with P!nk still gaining, eventually she can take it before either she begind falling or something passes her. Luckily, Sweet but Psycho is still 600 spins away and moving at the same pace as this, so I don't think it's a threat and the only other song in the top 10 gaining is I Don't Care, 1900 spins away. I think P!nk pretty much has it locked up for the top spot on Hot AC for either this week or next week barring her brick walling or Ava suddenly exploding. Or god forbid Jonas Brothers getting their, like, 70th wind on the format.

Great sign that pop is picking this up finally. Not for this song, cause I honestly don't see it going much further than maybe a peak inside the top 20, but a second single to be sent to Pop.

That would work to this song's advantage if radio can play it without people wanting to switch off. @antigonerising is better at explaining this but I think that's what's up. Yeah, that's the concept. Radio had actually moved away from that strategy for the past couple of years (I remember Growing Pains having a similar situation with both very low positive and low negative; it got dropped soon after), but I think WMH has a couple of things working in its favor right now. One, callout has been weak for a lot of songs lately - this week in particular, there are only seven songs that even have a net positive over 40 (my personal 'decent enough' threshold). Radio has to play something in the meantime; at least with WMH they know it's not something that is likely to make people flip the dial. Two, a lot of songs in the 20-30 range are falling right now, which puts P!nk in a good position to keep moving up and take some of those spins. I can't see this getting much higher than #20, if that, but I can see it hanging around for a while.

Gonna be her lowest peaking Pop single as expected. Only if you dismiss Waterfall and Who Knew's first run. Even then, it matched Beautiful Trauma. It's also only one position away from where God is a DJ and Funhouse both peaked and two positions away from where True Love peaked, so it's not exactly a dire position to peak at.

^it kinda is since those are horrible singles and this isnโt (minus TL and BT). Itโs not her greatest, but deserves higher than those. True Love shoulda peaked higher if Please Donโt Leave Me went top 10.
Not over until the *** lady sings.

Not here for the "Please Don't Leave Me" hate.
This making it to #24 at all is a miracle tbh.

I was talking about God is a DJ and Funhouse. I don't think itโs a miracle, since sheโs a radio staple, but I am surprised because of how the last single was treated on CHR and then the initial/first month response to this. Iโm not here for the โdramatics.โ

Everyone is entitled to have their own opinions, but "Funhouse" was good and "God is a DJ" is really good. I don't think I've made it through "True Love" more than handful of times, it's kinda boring.
It's factually a miracle, considering it nearly lost it's bullet around #42 or so? At multiple points the bullet went below 100.
The album is fine, but I don't think there's anything there that will reignite her CHR powers. The signs have been there since last era ("What About Us" barely went top 10 on radio despite strong sales and comparatively stronger streaming, the second single peaked outside top 20). Her material sounds exactly like the type of stuff that does well on 2019 Hot AC while 2019 Pop ignores it.

Funhouse was good, and god is a dj is really good. I stopped reading there. Both are absolutely atrocious. Funhouse has a horrid chorus and verses (only decent thing was the bridge), god is a dj has horrid verses (and hardly charted anywhere), while True Love was a fun summer pop rock track with strong a hook and verses.

Considering that we were skeptical about this even going top 40 at some point, even if it's peaking now, for this song, this is a wonderful peak. I'd say her name took it there on its own, but still..

^it kinda is since those are horrible singles and this isnโt (minus TL and BT). Well now that's a complete 180 from the consensus as the beginning and when Hustle dropped and when Hurts 2B Human dropped and when the album came out. All I've been reading is how this was a bad lead single choice from people left and right. (Also True Love was a terrible single choice. It was never going to be a hit under any circumstances.)

Is 23 a horrible peak? No, of course not, but comparing it to those peaks and saying itโs not a dire place to peak, is unfortunate to me because I think โwalk me homeโ is superior to most of the singles you mentioned. Thatโs all I meant with regard to that.
I agree to disagree about True Love. Coming off JGMAR it was going to be sub par in terms of success cause it didnโt top that song in terms of quality (that song was massive) and it was the 4th single which isnโt normally successful for P!nk. I think it was a fine single choice, I donโt think many others would have done better, itโs not like there was an unreleased gem. Please no one say Slut Like You.

This hate for True Love and Funhouse are not appreciated. I love those 2 songs. The video for Funhouse was great and very very well made.

True Love was the worst single choice of her career, especially following her biggest single. It's also her worst video.
Since Beautiful Trauma(the single) she lost all her Pop appeal. She just can't pick a single to save her life anymore and remains focused on touring. At least she's making a lot of money.

There isn't anything bad about this single. Pop turns on most female stars her age.

The sad thing is that I loved Beautiful Trauma and it had to become one of her lowest peaking singles.
Walk Me Home has done well all things considered. A Top 20 peak would be nice but I donโt see that happening. At least it came close enough. If they choose wisely (picking Hurts 2B Human or Hey Why) next, then they could reach Top 20 on Pop imo.
