Do labels influence spotify and apple music playlists? I thought they decided those on their own? I’m not sure what the label really can do to push a decade-old song that the song isn’t already doing on its own. Also, Spotify has this on several playlists.. It's #2 on Viral Hits for instance. And that is exactly what it is - a viral hit.

RAYE's Escapism and Beyonce's Cuff It are also viral TikTok hits and they're on every major playlist you can imagine, while Bloody Mary gets this shitty treatment.

I’m not sure what the label really can do to push a decade-old song that the song isn’t already doing on its own. There are songs that have been on big playlists for months or even a whole year, even those pulling low numbers compared to other songs that are out of those playlists. If the name of the playlist is "Today's Top Hits", it doesn't make any sense to keep songs from a year ago in the playlist, knowing that the numbers these songs are pulling no longer match the "Today's Top Hits" status.

I honestly thought this was gonna struggle but this is a very promising start so far, hoping the hype doesn't die down.

New Years definitely helped this out, it was probably played at a lot of parties and people are checking it out.

Okay but what value is it to a label that this song is viral now? Is it translating into sales or anything that brings in money? Could it? That’s the question here. This song isn’t attached to a current project or anything that would bring in money, not the way your other examples are.

That is what I always wondered… do labels really get songs added to playlists…everyone always screams at labels about playlisting…how does that work… that seems like it would be the definition of payola

Lots of industry schmoozing, promoting the stats, getting the artist to do things for the company, etc. There is no direct line of "Hey, Spotify, put Bloody Mary on TTH" and Spotify going "okay, added." Instead it's more like, "Hey, curators of TTH, look at how Bloody Mary is doing! Isn't that great? Remember when we had Gaga do a Spotify exclusive for you? Wasn't that awesome? She could do it again, you know. Wink, wink." Basically it's just doing a promo campaign within the industry instead of with the general public. Also, for what it's worth, I'm not aware of there being any laws against soliciting money for streaming playlist placement. Laws on this stuff usually take forever to be made.

Also playlists help but a song has to be liked to stay there. Remember when Meghan Trainor's single spent just two days there? (the lead after "NO", I can't recall it's name right now).

He said 'lead single', are we thinking of 'No Excuses'? That was meant to be the lead to 'Treat Myself' at the time.

Yeah it was No Excuses. Spent two days at #50 on Today's Top Hits and never appeared there again.
I just can't fathom how poorly the playlist followers were responding to it in order for that to happen. 😂

I had the cd “Born This Way” since it came out. I didn’t remember this song at all from the cd. In my defense unless you were one of my Top favorites I usually hand picked songs from cds and made my own mixes. I’m not sure if it’s my favorite unreleased track from the album but I like it.

This has finally been added to PlayIGA's Top 40 playlist and it has their own entry on the site too, so it makes me think that an impact date is imminent.

But we need the damn date.
Singles from RAYE, P!nk and two SZA singles will impact on the 10th and nothing for Gaga yet.

It’s already doing very well for something that hasn’t been pushed in radio and streaming (and is over 10 years old). As Juan Carlos mentioned, it was very recently added to PlayIGA meaning that a radio push is imminent. An adds date will probably be the 17th or so. Be a little patient, just know that it’s coming!

I don't know if you're familiar, but when it comes to Gaga's label and team, nothing is guaranteed.
