Måneskin - "I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE"

[𝕡𝕙𝕖𝕖𝕓𝕤]

This track by the Eurovision 2021 winners has been gaining traction worldwide, spurred by the success of "ZITTI E BUONI". It has reached the Top 10 in Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands and Lithuania, and the Top 30 in the UK, Ireland, Germany and Switzerland. It's also #1 on Spotify's US Viral 50 chart, with "ZITTI E BUONI" in the runner-up slot.

^ note: after piddling around on TikTok, its become evident that the reason this & “Zitti E Buoni” are holding the top 2 on Spotify US Viral 50 is because they’re both having TikTok moments concurrently

Due to the title and current sociopolitical climate in the US, they don't seem inclined to actively push this to radio or on the US populace despite its viral popularity. It's rather unfortunate as this is the kind of catchy tune that could get rock back in the mainstream spotlight.

Except that apart from it's title, The song itself isn't really offensive anyways at least in my opinion. I wouldn't be so quick to count out the possibility that this song could get pushed as a single in the US just yet.

The song is basically about sex and those are a dime a dozen. It's really just the title that's probably giving radio and such pause. This thing sounds like an Alternative and Active Rock smash - and I could see this top 20-ing on CHR. But they need to move soon before the moment's been lost.

Yeah I already knew that the song had a sexual meaning behind it after the first listen, The fact that this song has already streamed remarkably well on Spotify for a rock song these days thanks in part to TikTok does have me thinking that it could in fact potentially crossover into the US.

Picked up by 7 Alternative stations in the US. I made a thread specifically for its US rock radio run.
