I was told this would get 50+ adds today. I guess not :/ To put things in perspective, the great Normani got 78 adds, and this got 45 adds which really isn't that bad.

If I’m not mistaken, NRO had 173 adds and 365 had 94 adds (HAC/CHR total) on their respective dates. I think radio spoke today. Well... it should be mentioned that both "365" and "Never Really Over" went for adds immediately after its premiere, while the impact date for "Small Talk" was a week after, so I don't think this could be comparable. As a side note, this got nine early adds last week, so it already has 54 adds in total.

My new favorite thread. I WILL feel sorry for the eternal poptimists WHEN this flops though.

Yeah when I'm a big fan of someone I want an album or at least an EP, not just one off singles here and there. But, I do get the label/business perspective of it all. It IS odd though she’s releasing singles like somebody would for an album. New look, videos shot, promo being done, pushes to radio, timelines are being utilized for rollouts. I wonder if there is an album (potentially one that’s being completed still and just no date) or if this is just a full on new strategy. I will make the guess that some sort of album exists that will suddenly materialize if any of these songs take off or if she gets a few solid hits in a row. 45 adds for impact date is...not great. But not a total disaster either. I am curious if they will try to push this even though the initial signs aren't exactly encouraging or if we will suddenly get HIH.

I think the album is entitled Miss You.

I think the album is entitled Miss You. i don't think there is an album?
also every time i've defended a song that struggled in the beginning and said "let's wait until the adds date", it always flops. i don't see this song being the exception...

This song obviously isn't going to be a big smash hit, it's not launching Teenage Dream 2.0, but I appreciate that Capitol is trying something new with it and actually really trying to get people back on board with Katy Perry. I don't know whose decision that was, but releasing the 3 hip-hop featured tracks on Witness as the first three singles was not a good move at all lol. Choco I like your new avi, like it's a cute throwback, but damn do I miss the FENTY FACE TM hunty!!!!

Don't worry, as long as it's above 50 it's a hit :kii: .

It'll be a day or so before we start to see the effect from its new adds anyway.

I just dont get what the plan is for this. This song is just out their. No performances, no promotion, no buzz. With no promotion, this will probably peak between #35 and #50 on Mediabase.Cmon Katy, start promoting!! Its not 2010 anymore, its 2019, need to promote to get a hit.

This song seems to follow the suit of "Teenage Dream" era, when "NRO" was "California Gurls" and "Small Talk" is "Teenage Dream", actuallt the song structure is kind of similar. So in that sense, the next single should be similar this era´s "Firework" and not only this era´s, but the rest of her career. She needs no less than firework as the next single!

This is cute but "Teenage Dream" is one of the best pop tracks ever and I hear very little of that here.

Yep, not exactly, but they are both a bit slower, shorter and lo-fi second singles, obviously Puth is no Luke or Martin.

The vocals are kind of all over the place with this second potty jam, and I really liked NRO.
I'm seriously baffled at Capitol's approach to this. Why wait so long to send it to radio, with little to no promo in between, no music video, nothing? Reminds me of the fiasco that was sending Unconditionally to radio when stations were already playing Dark Horse.
I hope her contract with Capitol isn't too restraining that she can't leave sometime soon, the label hasn't been hitting the mark with her since the TD era (and tbh, you didn't need too much effort to make those songs happen).

Well Uncle was Katy’s decision that she had earned at the time. She was too stubborn to acknowledge the GP’s reaction until Dark Horse had all but killed Uncle. Then she caved.

Katy's never been great at recognizing which of her songs sound like hits. She never even wanted DH as a single because she didn't think it was a hit. Oops!
