Mods, if we could merge this song’s thread in World Hits with this one here, that would be great.

Mods, if we could merge this song’s thread in World Hits with this one here, that would be great. That's not necessary. Let's keep the other thread there and discuss about a possible US push of the track here.

This song is absolute 🔥. It’s a little long for US radio… does anyone know if there is a US radio remix?

This song is insanely good. I don't really listen to much modern chart music, but this one blows me away. Has hit #2 in the UK and could well be #1 after the christmas songs GTFO.

Well, that is criminal, but I guess the GOAT outro will then be a nice surprise to those who stream/buy it. Outro is legit fantastic. Not the same song without it.

predicted to reach #79 on the Hot 100 this week (by lip predict). 20 new SZA songs and 24 Xmas songs are ahead of it.

It looks like Sirius XM has been testing out the waters with this song. Hopefully that translates to further radio success in the near future.

Okay, here's my review: 1. I see this becoming a major hit during the first quarter of 2023. 2. I also see it as a sleeper hit in the USA and on pop radio (like Someone You Loved). 3. It is a very nice song. Beautifully and well composed. The chorus is 🔥 and I haven't heard anything like that since the 2000's/early 2010's Rihanna hits (take Hard for example). Pop radio needs to play songs like this. 4. The length might be a problem so I guess there'll be a radio edit available. But I won't be happy if that outro is touched! Damn it's the maddest kind I've heard this year. 5. RAYE did a great job. I love her flow. Her voice (reminds me of Dua Lipa a little bit 😅) is great. And damn the way she took that chorus - who won't love this song!
Summary: This is a great song and I love it. So, I will be disappointed if a radio push doesn't happen. And I am rooting for an underrated singer to burst out into mainstream fame and have a global hit! She is quite underrated IMO. But I've always loved her.

And RCA dropped her, dumb decision. It was Polydor (the UK division of Interscope) that she parted ways with, not RCA. But good to see her maintaining momentum on the Hot 100.

It’s doing so well as is, they should just let this song be refreshingly different than everything else. Side note: there’s a few other tracks on the upcoming album already released and they are all very powerful. This is going to be quite the era for her.

I came across a radio editted version (might be either unofficial or official). The bridge was cut to a reasonable amount (still lovely) and the outro and the background instrumental before it, was entirely removed (just like the AT40 edit of CARDI B'S I LIKE IT). The song just ended with the "... you asking me my symptoms, doctor I don't wanna feel..." line. Maybe this is the edit we will be hearing on radio.

My CHR has been playing this quite a bit. They've played it 29 times in the past week, which is surprising given they don't tend to give new songs that many spins right after adding them. I haven't heard the radio edit yet, but the sample hour from yesterday on Mediabase shows that the radio edit appears to be 3 minutes long.

I looked on YouTube and didn’t see one. biffhard.click/track/00887989670483854844-raye_070_shake_escapism/This is the one I was talking about. But the edit isn't good enough since the "bitch" in the first chorus wasn't omitted (maybe a mistake and that was why I said it might be unofficial or official). But the rest was just fine. Just check it out. It's from a downloading site.

Might be worth noting that this has made the top 50 on Rhythmic. It's also on the Spincrease list on Pop with a +132 from 74 stations.

RHYTHMIC:70 49 RAYE Escapism f/070 Shake 159 74 85 0.373 Didn’t expect this to be considered rhythmic, but it’s still success for this amazing song, so i’ll take it.

So heard Daniel's radio edit and unfortunately this concern ended up being very valid. Well radio you failed. If they had to have cut it to make it shorter I would've rather have had them ditch verse two and chorus two, so just go from chorus one to the bridge and still play the outro. That would've been better imo.

I'm disappointed the radio edit cut out the outro. Actually I was expecting the bridge to be cut out so the outro can stay. The song doesn't sound the same without the outro. The radio edit ended too sudden. If that outro was just added immediately after that time, the edit would have been nice and it would have ended beautifully. I just hope there will be another radio edit with this version I described. And why on earth is a radio edit for this song hard to find? There should have been lots of them out!

Just send the unedited version to radio. Every bit of it slaps tbh.

I'm not too fussed though, as this is the streaming age, so anybody who is streaming this masterpiece will get the full experience.
