Just send the unedited version to radio. Every bit of it slaps tbh. Absolutely. Kinda criminal cutting any part out. I mean, do they only play the first 3 minutes of Bohemian Rhapsody? I'm not too fussed though, as this is the streaming age, so anybody who is streaming this masterpiece will get the full experience. Exactly. I remember Mirrors by Justin Timberlake. Though the highlights of the song were left intact - The 1st half basically.

Just found out that this was produced by Mike Sabath. He deserves to have a hit too. I remember bopping to Waves by Meghan Trainor which he also produced.

Moves back up to #54 on US Spotify with over 445,000 streams! Mind you 22 Christmas songs are still above it and those should all fall out over the next day or two.

It's weird that this even needs a radio edit. It's barely any longer than drivers license, which didn't have a radio edit. Literally all they really "had" to remove to make it the same length is to shorten the transition into the outro a bit and a slightly shorter intro.

Ugh, it still hasn't set in yet that RAYE is about to have her big breakthrough moment. This is unreal! "Natalie Don't" deserved to be that moment for her, but I will gladly take it now too.

I do know that a station in Denver CO plays a new song every weekday and we have to tell the DJ if we like it or not. This can be an indicator of songs iHeart (it's an iHeart station that does this) is trying to push. "Escapism." was on the show but before that they played "Black Mascara." which, although wasn't as good, any coverage is good coverage when it comes to RAYE.

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! Maybe there isn't an official radio edit yet and stations/companies are just having to make their own ones? It's happened with other songs before.

Oh Natalie Don't is a hit! She has some really nice songs like Friends, Black Mascara, Love Me Again and lots of them.

Maybe there isn't an official radio edit yet and stations/companies are just having to make their own ones? It's happened with other songs before. Could be true, Muna shared a radio edit that's different than the edit heard on SiriusXM Hits 1. Perhaps this is why it's not doing as well as it should be? I say it's not doing well, because other breakthrough acts have gotten big hits quicker than this. Escapism. is on top of streaming and #3 on Spotify's viral charts, but isn't on radio yet after two weeks, and doesn't even have 100 spins from Leaders & Starters. Perhaps the lack of an official edit could be hurting this song on radio. However, when the edits come out, this song will get the surge it deserves.

It isn't because of a missing radio edit. Like previously stated, stations can make their own no problem. It's because it's December. Radio stations stopped reporting adds for the year the same week this started to take off, program directors are largely on vacation, Christmas songs took over, year end charts are about to take over. Listenership is down because of the holidays. There just isn't much incentive or even viable spots in playlists right now for new music. Even Bloody Mary, which had a couple weeks head start before the holidays, is struggling to do much on radio yet.
Also, to my knowledge, there actually hasn't been any push at radio for this yet, right? I'm sure that will come in January when everything returns to normal next week.

Heard this on the radio today on 99.7 NOW, freaked the fuck out. Shakeβs bridge was untouched, but the pitched down outro was cut completely.

Heard this for the first time on the radio today, and I heard the same radio edit that π‘πππππ€ did on my CHR. I really like the production on this, and Rayeβs vocals sound so good. I hope it becomes a hit!

I'm wondering why chartdata tweeted that an hour ago when it has been properly announced by the OCC some minutes ago...

I heard this on KYLD today, basically the same song but with the outro cut off. Am waiting for a clean edit to show up on Apple Music so I can add it to my main playlist (the one I listen to when there's likely to be kids around..)
