I’m assuming this had some sort of deal, but num. 16 in 5 days seems very good. Did Ariana get this high in 5 days. I love this song, but didn’t think it would do this well…

Just heard this for the first time today and I found this to be very plain for my liking. Nothing about it stood out. It was not bad, but it was not good either. It was just there. If it came on a playlist or the radio, I would not turn it off, but it is not something I would specifically seek out. The production felt a tad underdeveloped.

This must have huge payola behind it, because this kind of chart rise is not normal for agranddaddy...

I wouldn't have learned this was out if it wasn't for the headlines that Britney Selfish outsold.
I just heard this so called song. It's mid. Now I'm scared to watch the video I hope they edit the wrinkles and saggy skin! He is too young for crow 🐾. Must be karma for sucking the life out of Janet and Britney etc.
I'll go on record to say it's a mid song with middling success and I enjoy seeing him decline. It's not his artistry it's him

I like this song, and when I watch the video I can't help to think how greatly he would physically improve with a cycle of testosterone. He's at the perfect age to do it.

Predicted to reach #13 on the Hot 100 which is actually quite good.
Radio really gonna act all happy before callouts tank it.

I meeaaan, this is not a FLOP of the century, but I also wouldn't call it a SUCCESS. It's barely hanging in the top 100 of AM and Spotify, and currently sits at #174 on global Spotify after 6-7 days...he should thank radio for that #13 on the Hot 100.

Even if this peaks here, it’s a solid out of the gate run. It’s surpassed my expectations - was anybody here still thinking JT would get a top 20 hit, without big, big features or the best producers in the game? If I was him (or his team), this feels like a job well done and something worth celebrating. The song has grown on me. Still not in heavy rotation, but it’s got some nice hooks and is catchy enough I don’t change it when it comes on. I expect this to hang around HAC and AC for a while.

It is a very, very solid out of the gate run. Probably one of the best in recent memory? But it doesn’t feel organic, and the streaming numbers reflect that. Radio won’t be able to carry it for longer than another 2 weeks if it doesn’t significantly pickup on the streaming front. Radio also won’t do this for multiple singles. It’s the lead from a legacy artist with an insane number of hits, so they’re being generous with the spins, but single #2 will have an uphill battle unless it’s a big streaming hit and earns its place on playlists.

Normally radio deals don't rub me the wrong way, it is what it is. And if it's for a current artist that's a big hitmaker, whatever. But radio is so out of touch with this one, they look kind of ridiculous. He's been a non-factor at radio for going on a decade outside of a random soundtrack song. The streaming isn't there, the sales aren't there, his profile has been diminished for years, the worldwide public consensus is "meh." It's an overshot to say the least.

Yeah. They also did the most for the Nsync song. No hate, it's just that they need to do a better job playing stuff people actually want. It's why Audience gets calibrared down every few months.

It depends on how you would define success.
I thought Pulse was sort of evolving outside of the opinion that smash debut peaks are all that matter and all that is needed to signal that a song was successful. There have been a lot more arguments in recent memory that success has been redefined as longevity, and overall chart points. If you wanted a shiny peak, I guess this will do it for you, or for the die hard stans that need to see him as successful. But this doesn't look like it is going to go much further and will be dropped hastily post its debut due to the lack of performance of streaming and sales.
As others mentioned radio looks like a fool here when streaming is nowhere to be found, and 13-year-old songs outperformed it when it had the most amount of hype. He'll probably move on to the next single shortly.

Yeah like, the demand for this song is way, way, way under what the radio deal is making it seem. Does this really need to be exploding like a new Taylor Swift single? I kind of felt the same way about LilNasx, though at least he is a recent hitmaker. But yeah, that song bombed badly and still with the radio deal exploded on radio before hitting a wall. I guess in this era of radio deals we are occasionally going to get that now lol.

This is a grower tbh. Could be a sleeper hit if radio wasn't going to quit on it and salty gays on twitter shaming anyone listening to him

Remix with Ariana!! Her 'yes and?' is weak, and a duo of these two would ultimately boost 'Selfish'

It is not radio’s fault… they are getting paid to play it… radio deals are basically ethical payola I am surprised radio deals are still a thing… the deals came into being during Chr/pop last come back in the early 2010’s with big names such as Lady Gaga, Katy Perry , Bruno Mars etc…Do deals even make a big impact on the success of a song anymore I dislike deals… I prefer hits to grow organically
