I admit, I’m not a fan of the song but I do wish it would’ve made it into Top 10, it was so close. I knew it’d run out of steam eventually but I thought it would’ve made it in regardless.
I will also say that I am a little surprised they did not attempt to push this to Pop. Because one, it would’ve helped with HAC picking it up more (it’s a shame HAC relies on Pop a little too much these days). And two, because the song is basically very Top 40-friendly. So, I wonder why RCA didn’t feel the need to push it on Pop. I actually thought it was the reason why this song was chosen in the first place! To get back in goodwill with Pop!
If we are going to get a third single, presumably Hurts 2B Human, I hope RCA will also push it to Pop because Khalid’s one of the hottest artists today. It has the opportunity to do well if pushed properly.
PS - Beautiful Trauma did NOT deserve to flop like that on Pop. I’m still fuming about that.

I do hate how hot AC no longer has the identity it used to have with the lighter pop and rock hits. Not it’s just a mildly delayed pop chart with less hip-hop and slightly more Pink. I don’t know if Pink has any hits on her album. There’s nothing on there that grabbed my attention - which is unusual for a Pink album. But the era is like six months old so I’d hate to say pack it in. Push the song with Khalid as there’s nothing to lose with it. I’d say the title track, Happy, My Attic, Hey Why, 90 Days, and Love Me Anyway, all have potential on HAC. Screw POP, they won’t support her anyway. I generally have always had ears for Hot AC hits over pop but even then, the album feels like a throwaway more than anything. The Beautiful Trauma era definitely got ripped off though. That had at least 3 or 4 songs that were easy single choices left. This era’s existence confuses me - but I still hate to see the singles from it underperform. They definitely waited too long to push single 2 though.

The Khalid collab has obviously been the best shot at a pop hit from this era so I’m in favor of giving that one a try next.

After BT flopped and WMH stalled, I’m not surprised they didn’t push it to pop. They said, f**k it...let’s not have another flop. But yes, that and the title track are the most pop radio friendly and it would have been interesting to see how this would have performed there. I’d say the title track, Happy, My Attic, Hey Why, 90 Days, and Love Me Anyway, all have potential on HAC. Screw POP, they won’t support her anyway.

They definitely waited too long to push single 2 though. Funny cause I feel the same about my ear, and I feel this album is all lot more solid and cohesive than BT (even though I adore that album) and still has lots of potential songs. BT had great songs but nothing that was leftover said single, even though people feel I Am Here was of single material, I disagree though. Actually, For Now could/should have been in place of WYW, and Where We Go was pretty single worthy but I don’t think it would have been a smash. The Khalid collab has obviously been the best shot at a pop hit from this era so I’m in favor of giving that one a try next. It’s definitely next, just not sure about the US.

Come on P!nk, you can make it! Although not one of my favorite songs off her new album, it’s grown on me and I’d love a third single to happen.

Very glad for Pink and this song. I actually like it a lot, and am glad to see that it made the top 10. I wish it had been given a CHR push, but the top 10 status here is really nice to see.

I guess it says a lot about radio if they’re still spinning WMH so steadily.

They finally sent Love Me Anyway to Country. Hopefully that one is next for the AC formats too. It's still doing so well on ITunes with 0 promo.

Given how long it takes things to climb at Country, I think they could get away with 'Hurts 2B Human' 3rd at HAC/AC (and hopefully 2nd at pop) then release 'Love Me Anyway' to the AC formats as the 4th single when it's partway through its run at Country (and have LMA benefit from stacking the AI from Country/HAC/AC altogether rather than having it done at the AC's before Country catches on).

Hopefully this will get a top 10 peak officially (has it?) and then the label move on to "Love Me Anyway".

#10 on Mediabase, #11 on Billboard. It can make it to #8 on Mediabase this Sunday, but it needs much better gains than today's in order to keep abreast of Ed (and also to ensure that she can actually get past P!ATD).

At least today we can chalk it up to Maroon 5 impacting. But they may have stalled Sheeran just enough that a new peak is still possible tomorrow even if it is just one spot.

Ed passes Pink, but she passes Panic! to hold at #9. Lizzo's momentum is dwindling as she approaches top 10, so this should have a second week at #9 coming.

Niiiiice! And this actually gained a little ground back on Ed over the last two updates. It may not be able to get back in front of Ed, but if Pink continues to recover like this she could even stay ahead of Lizzo at least long enough to catch up to Shawn (IICHY).
