You can be discerning about what kind of songs you add without completely icing out TikTok Alt did not need “oops!” or “Daisy”, but “Tek It”, “Freaks”, “transparent soul”… "Tek It" is the class of TikTok 2022, and Maggie Rogers' "Want Want" is also above-average for TikTok. Exiling TikTok is not a wise decision in this day and age (especially if you don't want to give up on younger listeners completely), but I absolutely agree, carefully discerning what TikTok songs will work on radio and what won't is the best move. You can keep relevance for the younger set without alienating older listeners this way. Like all things, there should be a balance. "Tek It" has an excellent melody, good lyrics, and strong progression. It's memorable in a good way. Not adding this because of its association is not a wise move IMO.

When I complain about the ignorance of all Tiktok trending songs for 91X, out of nowhere Hilary debuted the new Surf Curse single "TVI". So obviously they aren't completely abandoning Tiktok bands. I agree with your points though!

This is one of my songs of the year for 2022 (although it's originally from 2019, but that's besides my point), so I would like to see this keep doing well on the charts. Also, top 40 stations need to stop sleeping on this and pick it up. I've been anticipating for this song to make it on the Hot 100 for a while, and I'm just sick of seeing this stuck bubbling under the chart.

i figured this was never gonna make it up top considering how fierce the competition is right now so i'll happily take a top 5 peak. i'm sure it'll have a good chance at reaching the top on the pulse alternative / aaa rankdowns anyways 😌
