Stuid Girls was a SMASH worldwide. Its sales are now surpassing 3mill as we speak. But yes, the first two, promo and hype, were needed to create a hit single in the US. Here's hpoing something happens to change this....

I'm sure it sold well, but it was just because it was the first single. People wanted new P!nk and because it had some controversy around it, people bought it. But like, people have forgotten about it. At least here they have. It sold a decent amount in the US, but like, no one really talks about the video or the song anymore. It was just the talk of the town for a few weeks and then it faded out.

Yes EXACTLY! Stupid Girls was, we thought a great choice for creating hype. Whilst it has doen that, for the issue of SG it hasn't done it for pink. People have now moved on. And it's like 'oh she has an album out? I didnt know.....'
THe song didn't prep people for what's to come, regarding Pink!

It was a great single for creating hype but she NEEDED to follow it with Who Knew right after. The second the bullet when negative she needed to release Who Knew. Not now, I don't want to think its too late but she's bombing HARD!

I hope it works in her favor too. This one truely deserves to be a hit. It such a good song. SHE deserves it too. I just don't get why this song's moving so slowly. It's so radio friendly. I'm also wondering when the video's gonna be out in the US....

Ok, well that made me feel a little better. I'm still new at this. lol Man, as soon as I finish my last final tomorrow I'm gonna be requesting this song like crazy and listening for it! The last new P!nk song I heard on the radio was 'Trouble' in 2003 and that was just once. Things need to change!
Anyway, off to studying now. I've been slacking off too much. lol :)

Wow this is doing bad so far-only plus 36? Send the payola check, label.

This is flopping really hard. Yeah, time for payola, even though I dont think that can save the album.

Its not doing badly. It was in the top five most added.
Plus if this does flop guys think of this: It'll probably still at leats make the hot 100.
And also, Pink has had many, many hits. She'll also have plenty of other albums/projects and labels to work on. She's had enough hits for a Greatest Hits compilation. Think of how I would kill if just ONE of the dance/trance acts I like had more than ONE hit...or ONE at all. Cascada won't get a hit with 'Miracle' after all, I've accepted that 'EWT' made it - its an OK song from them - and that's that!
You guys will tune in to oldies radio when your older and you'll be able to hear PLENTY of Pink, trust me :) There's always her third single too to get her to bounce back...And I happen to think that under these circumstances Pink is doing well with this single and I see it at #13-15.

^I love your optimism, but it's a little too much. Lol. BTW, how many adds did this get since it was top five?

Post by Live Your Life on May 10, 2006 20:03:34 GMT -5

I think 14's pretty good, after all its bond to get around 7 - 12 adds next week. I mean, that may not be SO great...but if it makes you feel any better LOL Cascada got ZERO adds, lol...And is bound to get zero next week.

Who determines how many adds a song gets?

Post by Love Plastic Love on May 10, 2006 20:38:23 GMT -5
14 adds is terrible. :( I just cannot believe such a solid album will die like this. 14 adds and a plus 36 has the makings of a HUGE massive flop...even moreso than any of her last flop singles. Im just shocked radio isnt being more receptive :(
Like I said, come on label, payola her!!!!

Radio is not receptive at all. Cascada's EWT was a top 5 hit for SO many pop stations...None of them figured to add 'Miracle' after such a good reaction.
They're too busy with crappy Kelly Clarkson, Manufactured Singing Prostitutes, and this NEW 16-YEAR-old ex-model turned singer with a Beyonce-like tune featuring a rapper, more rap, hip-hop, what's reaggae anyone? SCREAM IT: Sean Paul! Yeah that's right! Sean Paul's REGGAE! More nasily Rihanna, more same-old Ciara, and watch James Blunt and Daniel Powter have total flops for followups...Die radio. ACTUAL music's TOO good for you!

Adds don't mean much. I was told that 90% of the most added don't make it to the top 10 by the head of Radio Promo.
I know that the strategy is to take their time with this one and really make sure that the stations that "add it" actually play the song and not in overnights. This is a song that's gonna have to build slowly but steady. Look what happened with SG.... it went up big fast and then nothing....

I don't see i tbeing a flop yet. Just two weeks ago it was gettting so much interest. Radio were adding it before it came out, it was looking to be great! I'm so saddened........
What does the payola check mean?

Post by Love Plastic Love on May 10, 2006 21:45:54 GMT -5
Two weeks ago it wasnt getting that much interest. 30 spins isnt much-that could be one or two stations who happen to like her. Not being most added isnt the kiss of death...but for someone like Pink I think only 14 adds is bad. If this was some newbie coming out with a first single...maybe. Oh well, we will see how it grows. If this is a no go, maybe they will release U and Ur Hand

It isn't h er fault. She has to promo everywhere. She has to go to plaves that buy her stuff as well. AMERICA ISN'T THE ONLY PLACE, although some of you tools like to think so. It's not her fault there has been no hype from ehr label or adds promoing it. If you think this is her fault, you're mistaken. She has to visit other countries that BUY her stuff. As a thankyou.
