So glad this is showing signs of stalling. Easily one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard, and I love both artists dearly.

This could've been great if they had changed that chorus.

#101 Spotify #114 iTunes #312 Apple Music As much as radio wants to support Sam, this just isn't it. I honestly don't see this going too further. If their next single isn't THAT BOP I just don't see radio giving them such a strong start again and they'd end up having a similar fate as Ellie Goulding. Are you kidding me... HDYS & DWAS were top ten radio hits, and To Die For had amazing opening callouts but it was dropped before going top 20 in pop radio for obvious reasons, IR doesn’t even have an impact date in the USA Sam is literally a popular name in radio, let’s not overreact plz LOL! Are you kidding? TDF barely hit top 30 on Spotify on its debut (still before the world stopped), 3 weeks later it was already one hundred something. This song is following the exact same path, which proves that they aren't as hot as one might think and the issue with TDF had nothing to do with Covid (or even how do you explain 'death bed' and 'if the world was ending' not only not being killed off, but also getting airplay and popularity boosts after the apocalypse happened?)

It’s almost 100M streams on Spotify and eligible gold in the states, like I said before it’s callouts we’re amazing before Radio dropped it... I’m Ready just f**king sucks hence why it’s mass declining Sam radio career ain’t declining just because of one bad song..

I'm not even touching song quality here (especially because I must have listened to these songs 3 times max), I'm simply analyzing chart runs on radio. 2 songs underperforming on radio in a row for whatever reasons is usually a sign that radio might be a little resistant to play the 3rd, so this Nicki song has to be LIT, I mean, possible song of the summer kind of lit, otherwise it definitely will have a much harder time to reach top 30.

The callouts for "To Die For" were not "amazing", they were ok with potential to improve. Maybe radio could've held on to it a bit longer, but it being dropped wasn't totally egregious.

Sam just had two big radio hits, I was literally told by mutual thats works in Radio, TDF was dropped was because of the pandemic, it clearly would’ve been a hit if the situation was different.. And we’re already to deep in the era to have everything smash effortlessly, Radio will always be here for Sam regardless of two underperforming songs (one of them being cut short unfairly)

Yeah this was a very fast burner. It's still good but I don't like it as much as I used to like it. But I'm really surprised that it didn't even make top 20 at least.

Flopped as expected.... I can’t see why the label chose to push this one, it’s clearly the worst single from this era.

Eh! You win some, you lose some. The past two songs just weren't it. Hopefully this and "To Die For" are a wake-up call for them and the label.

The era has already three hits in the album 💀 DWAS, HDYS & Promises.. y’all are doing too much The only person doing too much in this thread is you. Take a break, it's not required that you respond to every post in this thread that doesn't worship Sam and everything they do. And these songs didn't just underperform here, they didn't even do well in Sam's key markets. DWAS came out a year and a half ago. HDYS is coming on a year. And "Promises" is coming on two. Trying to tie them to this era is kind of a joke at this point (whether they're on the album or not). Sam needs to release a hit NOW to launch this album, some song that peaked eons ago isn't going to do it. And now we're on under-performer number two, which makes launching this album even more difficult. They need to get it together and release a hit and get this album out there already.

Well... it’s gonna have to do, this is why the music industry does things, Halsey & Post Malone did this exact method for their previous albums but yeah.. it’s does need one more hit to launch everything if it doesn’t at least SS3 as entire era will deemed an success

Every last SS3 single has peaked within the top 20 in the UK, MUCH better charting than their last era.
DWAS- #3 HDYS- #7 TDF - #19 I’m Ready - #20
TGAG was the only remotely hit from their last album.

These singles are standalone and not tied to an album that has been previously bought or streamed. The under performance and their downward trajectory is not good.

I don’t believe these last two singles will kill momentum for them, if they release a great single next. With this track, we knew what would happen. “To Die For” was nice, but it’s understandable what transpired. I would just try to have a single lined up soon, so even if an album doesn’t come for months, they’ll at least have a successful single to launch from, instead of two underperformers.
Also, “To Die For” was nice but I was slightly shocked that it was a single, only because it sounded so depressing and slow. If I remember correctly, Sam made a post about dropping the song, and it started dropping like hot cakes right after that. If this track was hot, it would be flying up the charts. It’s that damn chorus that ruins it. I, honestly, don’t believe they’re in any danger for further radio success, however, if we get another 1 or 2 bad singles, it definitely could take its toll.

Their gonna be in the album, it was never implied they wouldn’t be That's not the point. Trying to compare a standalone single with no previous consumption isn't the same as a third or fourth single from an album that's already been out and streamed/sold well. Sam barely scraping the top 20 in one of their key markets with the third or fourth lead single from an album isn't anything to brag about. Thankfully, they're gonna have a great opening and some certifications by tacking on these two year old songs, but you trying to spin everything about this era as coming up roses is just laughable to me. This album launch has been a mess, but thankfully for Sam, streaming technicalities are going to make it look way more successful than it's really been.

If that how you see it, then so be it, an third platinum selling album in the bag for yours truly, and I love see it!

Yeah they are truly insufferable, they do the exact same thing on ATRL too. I barely go into Sam threads because of them.

No, Sam said they would liked the possibility of removing them, and also followed “Album is ready to go when everything all clears up” So... then there's exactly zero confirmation of any song being on or off the album then, thereby making the point of "these aren't being promoted as album singles" all the more valid, because, well, they aren't, and due to their age, even if they were, they wouldn't be helping much. Just like how Halsey's "Without Me" suddenly being tacked onto her album didn't help it much and should not be considered a single from the album, and likewise "Señorita" for Camila Cabello.
