This is #4 on Russia & Poland Spotify charts! Gay propaganda laws who? Anti-LGBT zones where?

This is #4 on Russia & Poland Spotify charts! Gay propaganda laws who? Anti-LGBT zones where? This is inadvertently creating a Streisand effect. The song needs more structure though. Bridges may be part of a trendy hip-hop song too.

Songs in general need to consistently start hitting the 3 minute mark again. I'm not saying let's go back to the Justin Timberlake Mess™ where solid 4 minute tracks are dragged into 8 minute territory, but at least do the chorus a couple more times or add a bridge.

I think artists are simply falling in line with the wants of Gen Z listeners who tend to want shorter songs to stream, make Tik Tok videos etc.
Not a fan of it either but I guess I'm getting old and out of touch!

The parenthesis in the song title and the short length is very much giving me '60s vibes. But yeah wish it was longer than 3 minutes.

MONTERO is the biggest song in the country and one of the biggest in the world at the moment, at this point it is almost as if the radio stations are boycotting it.

Nope, I'm hooked. This is so simple and catchy. The video just elevated it. Imagine if he did a simple video of him in the club chasing after a guy.

Was WAP not getting spins because of Pussyphobia? No, that was because of misogyny and fear of women being unapologetically sexual. Well partly that and also because it wasn't a very appealing song for pop audiences and its radio edit was ridiculous to listen to. Urban and rhythmic both took it to #1, didn't they? Didn't it also hilariously make urban AC?

"WAP" wasn't meant for radio. The radio edit was terrible, and the "profanity" is what made the song good in the first place, so pop radio was never gonna bite. Look at how "Up" has outperformed it effortlessly there.

I saw someone today bring up "I Kissed a Girl" in response to a tweet saying this was the first song explicitly about a same sex relationship/relations to hit number one.
Like we all know that one doesn't count right lol?

Maybe so, but the controversy surrounding IKAG in 2008 from conservative groups is pretty identical to this. It still promoted homosexuality in some sort of way and they weren't having that. Still was a major smash anyway, just like WAP was and just like this is.
Anyway, this is now posting triple digit gains and has the third largest bullet below the top 20 (only behind deja vu and pov). It's clear radio was just waiting for an official push from the label and wasn't deliberately avoiding it.
