Well that'll get the song on Active lol Idk Iggy Pop is a little too cool for active in 2021. What it really needs is a Sully Erna feature. That'll win em over.

The Remix with Iggy Pop wasn't as Good as I thought it would be but it was still pretty decent, However I will just continue to frequently Stream the Original since it's much better than this Version.

Audacy alt adding Beggin today. Label not happy. But the metrics on Beggin are massive The Show Killer and his obsession with the mythological wonder known as DATA strikes again. Wouldn't be the first time he's pulled stunts like this and won't be the last. It just wasn't as noticeable because he only had 1-2 stations directly following his orders before, not 12. This has the potential to absolutely kill IWBYS on Alternative though, and in the best case scenario will stunt the song's chart peak to somewhere around 7th place. Pending, of course, Audacy eventually running IWBYS anyway, but that's looking pretty doubtful at the moment.

Vaults to #15 on the Spotify charts, so needless to say this will be pushed after Beggin(which is #4 there) peaks.

I don't get the love for this group. If you don’t mind me asking what don’t you like about this Band?, I like how original they sound like the lead vocalist of this Band doesn’t sound like anybody else, He has his own unique voice.

Beggin' has officially passed this on both the BB and MB Alt charts. Only question now is where does IWBYS go from here.

I honestly think that could work here, but am unsure of the likelihood. They're teasing Teatro d'ira Vol. 2, so pushing an old single to alt might not be the best move. By the time "Beggin" is done, they'll probably be ready to drop new material.

IWBYS has faced an uphill battle from the get-go too, solely because of the title. Like it or not the heightened racial sensitivities of the US right now has made any use of some words hopelessly politically charged. Stations seem either afraid to touch it or are offended by the usage of the word "slave". For example, you would think KPNT would be all over IWBYS because they fall over everything The Struts put out. Not even a trivial spin on the new music show, it's persona non grata. I was wondering why and then I found out KPNT's signal reaches Ferguson, Missouri. Guess what happened there a few years ago? I think any station who reaches a substantial black population or is in a city with noticeable civil unrest in the last few years will be reluctant to touch it no matter how popular it gets. Not to mention that the opinions of the station staff may play a factor even if they aren't in such a market. Arista seems to want this to follow up Beggin' on pop, I suspect radio is telling Arista "don't do it". We'll see of course.

I’m not anti-Maneskin, just not feeling it. My first experience was a cover - not my favorite way to do that, and it’s a song that I’ve never been all that fond of to top. I’m not a fan of glam rock - I respect David Bowie for his talent, but you won’t catch me listening to any of his catalogue. And finally, the lead singer’s voice is grating to me. I’m down for people getting into them, it just won’t be me.

I Wanna Be Your Slave is rising in sales and streaming, so radio may not have a choice. If it's popular with the people, they have no reason not to play it.

Would love to see this take off or even get a second push after "Beggin," but I don't foresee it happening with new material right around the corner. Also, re: "it has slave in the title." It's really dumb that any radio station would be hesitant to play it because of that reason. Clearly people don't care as it's a hit on streaming and around the world, progressives are all about this song because we all understand that "slave" has many meanings and changes definition depending on the context. Clearly this song is speaking in the sexual context of the word, not the racist context. The only place I've even seen this problem be discussed is here in context to how radio is hesitantly responding to the popularity.

Do I feel this band is about to really take off? Usually, when I have these instincts, I'm wrong...but I could see this band becoming one of the staples of the 2020s.

I wonder when the Remix with Miley Cyrus is going to be coming out though if it actually comes out, Hopefully sooner rather than later cause I want to see this song chart on the Hot 100.

this song is currently at #23 on Alt & will surpass "Solar Power" & "Sticky" any day now to get to #21...that means it only has to pass one more song to get to the Top 20...when was the last NEW artist to have concurrent Top 20 songs on the Alt chart???

By the looks of things I don't see this song being able to peak high on Active, I'm actually starting to doubt that it's even going to make the Top 30 just by seeing how lackluster it's gains have been. It's a real shame that it's run on Alternative has ended though and I put the blame specifically on Audacy for completely pulling the plug from this and also on a number of these Alternative Radio Stations that have always hesitated to put this in high rotation. This just goes to show that any song can have exceptional streams but that will never guarantee that it will do just as well on Radio. I'm starting to think that macattack was right about the title of this song being one of the reasons as to why this hasn't been able to achieve notable success on Radio.
