WBR is still trying hard to make Bebe happen. You've gotta start wondering at what point they're going to pull the plug on pushing her. All the work they've put in, and she hasn't really even had a solo hit by herself w/o having someone else to lean on (FGL, G-Easy, etc). But I do like this song a lot, I'm just not seeing where the disconnect is. She's had enough success as a solo artist to still have a record deal in my opinion. Solo she's had a Top 10, Top 15 and Top 20 pop radio hits. As much as some try to diminish BeBe's involvement with "Meant To Be" it was a duet and I believe she wrote most of it and it made many year end charts around the world. Her name attached to the song brought in a certain audience. Plus she's a song writer and probably has some publishing/writing deal with the label that makes or has made them more money anyways. Some of her other songs she's involved with I forget she was so I see your point but some of her collaborations she brought something to the table and were memorable to many. The problem, and I think this speaks to the original poster's point, is that all these songs are seemingly receiving a solid push from the Warner Radio team ... and yet not showing any meaningful, long-term connections with listeners. And thus, not showing any staying power or upward momentum on the radio charts. Whether it's exactly true or not, there's a working assumption of sorts that name value + label push can take you to about the #15-25 range on the pop chart. At that point, you *generally* need to show some proof of connection to go much higher. Sure enough, that's where her solo/official singles generally seem to stall. So it raises the question of whether these radio pushes are generating meaningful ROI. It's not necessarily about whether Bebe would ever be dropped - as she brings plenty of value beyond her radio peaks - but whether they're going to continue putting radio at the center of her promo campaigns. To the Meant To Be point, it's kind of baffling (or at least surprising) that she and her team never really pushed any sonically similar follow-up to that song. As it stands, that feels like an anomaly in her discography whereas it arguably should have been a turning point.

I don't think this is done yet, but it won't get much further if the sales + streams don't improve. She's not established enough to have a radio hit that's #898 on iTunes and N/A on streaming (400k daily on Spotify isn't bad for a song that's not on TTH, but it's not great either). She should perform it, discount it, release a promo song (Sabotage was supposed to come out last week?) and attach Sacrifice to it for a streaming boost, like Miley and others do at times. Generally push a little. And if it doesn't work, move on

I feel like I’ve seen random influencers promoting the song on Instagram. Has anybody else noticed this? Strange.

Terrible choice to release a month before an album. Girl you are no big artist to do that. Shorty should’ve been promoting this album since January if she don’t want it to flop😂😂😂
