Billie Eilish - "WILDFLOWER"

[Juan Carlos]

Third radio single from HIT ME HARD AND SOFT. Three Pop adds this week.

[sportytheartist]

Hopefully this is the beginning..

[L.Kennedy]

finally, hopefully radio will be on board with this one too 

[chickythelittlechicken]

This has #1 potential for all of 2025!

Best case scenario for this on radio is a mid teens peak like "when the party's over" imo. It's a great song but I don't see radio spamming it.

I'm glad they're doing more singles tho. Kinda felt like it was gonna be just "LUNCH" until popular demand forced them into pushing BOAF.

There's no reason this shouldn't be another top 10 on pop for her. This is much more radio friendly than WTPO.

Also I'm sure it'll get pushed to radio soon but three adds doesn't seem like it's being pushed right this moment. Hopefully we get more concrete news soon.

Can't this thread also be merged with the one in the World Hits section?

This wasn't even my top 5 from the album at the beginning, now it's top 2 with BOAF, so so good.

[chickythelittlechicken]

thank you beyoncé

[jenglisbe]

Wait, which Beyonce song was that?

Anyway, I love that Billie is having such strong success with this terrific album.

[Ling-Ling]

I assume "Dangerously In Love." It's spent 20 weeks on the Hot 100.

Same as well, I actually glossed over this one entirely for like the first month since it didn’t grab me initially. It’s very easily my runner up now to BOAF. Crazy how drastically the album in general shifted for me from the initial impressions. I thought nothing in her whole catalog could even touch Chihiro at first, and while I still love it, it’s a distant third now to BOAF and this. Meanwhile, I didn’t like Bittersuite and Skinny at first and they are now very firmly the rest of my top 5.

Anyways, that’s crazy about the non-single record. I actually didn’t even realize it’s been charting this whole time.

would've never clocked this one being so successful but it's honestly one of the best songs from the album so no complaints. i'm also among those not sure how well this will do on radio, i could see anything from it barely scraping the top 40 to it following boaf to the #1 spot honestly (assuming they aren't stupid and give this a proper push in the immediate future)

[L.Kennedy]

New peak on Global Spotify!!!

It's the 5th TOP 10 from the album:

#1 LUNCH
#1 BIRDS OF A FEATHER
#3 CHIHIRO
#7 SKINNY
#10 WILDFLOWER


Also,

US Spotify: #15 (+3)
US Apple Music: #5 (+2)

[southerninternal999]

So...are they gonna push this or what?

It's a good song, and it's the most popular behind BOAF, which is likely dropping soon on radio.

I'd say it's time to start sending this to a few stations

[Mayman]

BOAF is out of #1 now, time to go all in on this.

[munx 🐒🎯]

Any mock-up/early spins for this?

KBFF (23 Spins)
SiriusXM Hits 1 (20 Spins)
KLLY (13 Spins)

Leaders total (56 Spins)

[shakemaki]

I don’t blame them if they wait until the new year. Holiday is hard time to push, BOAF is still at the top of the format, and this is perfect for winter anyways. I’m hoping they’ll find some way to do some kind of Valentine’s Day tie-in, maybe push for #1 then.

[L.Kennedy]

yeah, i think they will hold till New Year/January to start pushing this on radio and the song will already be at +30 weeks charting just based on streams alone |o|

If it drops below #50 it's going to go recurrent as it's not being pushed to radio. If they push it to radio now it won't go recurrent. I think waiting 2 months to push this is a terrible idea, if they push it before the month ends, it's not getting lost in the shuffle.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

yeah, I don't think this will survive until January with streaming only.

[L.Kennedy]

Interscope is always the worst when it comes to radio, i don't know why it's so hard for them to give at least a little push to start the run, but seems like they can't handle 2 singles at once, odd.

Ah, I didn’t even realize that. Insane to think a total non-single is recurrent eligible, wow.

[rainie]

even if it goes recurrent it could theoretically reenter if given a push, no ? iirc that's what happened to love by kendrick lamar a while back

[Az Paynter]

I think that's true, yes? It would just have to be performing well enough to rank in the top 50 (and then in the top 25 after 52 weeks to avoid super recurrency).

[Mayman]

[shakemaki]

This already has to be one of the most impressive runs for a total non-single ever.

[joshtheking]

WHERE is the radio push
