lol I question if she is losing her ear for hit material. The girl used to be gifted for crafting infectious melodies/strong hooks. With a few of Rep's singles and now these, she is seemingly losing that touch. Like, gurl, you don't have an "I Knew You Were Trouble" or "Blank Space" quality track in you anywhere? I am a huge Swift fan but this is right on the money.

We all know and understand radio is basically irrelevant however the majority of us still use it as the main metric of a song’s success. It’s interesting. I wouldn't say irrelevant by any means. It's still gets a huge amount of listeners.

Those streaming numbers for a pop song are excellent. I can’t imagine this not hitting Top 10 on the Hot 100 eventually. It’s connecting.

"Everything" should have been a #1 pop hit.

Ugh, that teaser. Sounds like we're in for a snoozefest in vein of Bazzi. Hope I'm wrong!

Love how it goes from "my" to "his" to "our" gown(s).

I mean Shallow is still #8 on iTunes... People who still buy tracks are weird. We recently showed my boyfriend’s mom how to buy “that high high hopes song” on iTunes.

Which exact part of it sampled the Dagny song? They do sound similar in general. Literally just sounds like they gave writing credits to avoid any legal battle. The songs are similar in terms of structure, not much the actual melody.

Chained To The Rhythm (long hair): Decent hit Bon Appetit (short hair): FLOP Swish Swish (short hair): FLOP Feels (long hair): Decent hit 365 (short hair): FLOP Con Calma (long hair): Decent hit Never Really Over (long hair): Potential smash Are you really suggesting that people go check her hair before deciding whether they like a song or not? lmaooooo Seeing as she is such a big artist when it comes to video views, people’s perceptions can easily be swayed by the images of the video. And yes, that indeed can include hair. That being said, it’s probably just coincidence

Honestly everything I want in a 2019 pop song.
- Great verses - A build-up that doesn't lead to just a drop - Has a bridge that actually took effort to write - Thoughtful lyrics - Big sound
Hopefully this can help get pop back in the mainstream with more of an atmospheric sound. The kinda stuff Carly Rae, Robyn, and Troye have been doing for years now.

#3 on pop and #10 on the Hot 100 is great for this song! Especially for a debut from a female artist with no features.

Lol! :) l’d love to be wrong but I really don’t think I am. There’s no way this will be a hit in the current climate. Why do you think that? People don’t like Katy, the song is too upbeat, and most will find the chorus irritating.

This is easily her best lead single by miles. So sad it’s gonna flop. :( Can you tell me this weekend’s lottery numbers as well? Lol! :) l’d love to be wrong but I really don’t think I am. There’s no way this will be a hit in the current climate.

Sounds great! I’d only “Chained to Rhythm” sounded like that. That unfortunately sounds too upbeat to catch on now.

Eh... kinda sounds like an Ella Mai b-side. Considering “Boo’d Up” got so much Spotify attention and hardly any Top 40 reception, I’m not surprised this is falling already.

She should have taken more of an Ed Sheeran turn with this album. She’s a singer-songwriter, and an excellent one at that. She can own that image without reverting back to country.
She pulled off the pop star thing for the 1989 era, but that’s not her true brand.

The rightful follow-up to “Delicate” that Taylor should have released instead of this hot mess I love this song, but if this was a Taylor lead people would be saying “that’s it?” She needs the perfect blend of an upbeat, in style, timely, melodic, catchy bop that wouldn’t even ever exist.

I like the way he says "flame." That's maybe the only thing that stands out about this song.

So that’s where we’re at with music these days. ::sigh:: Yes, that is a current trend in music. Current trends favor softer tones, emptier instrumentals, and more subtle nuances in music. That's not a bad thing, it's just what's popular right now and within a few years the trends will change. It's no different than the EDM craze earlier this decade, the dance pop fad before it, the rock influences that were all over pop in the late 90s through mid 2000s. It's okay to not like the current trends, but your post here gives off the vibe that this trend is going to last forever and be the demise of music when that couldn't be further from the truth. Ha! You're totally right and 100% agree with you. I didn't mean to give off a "music is doomed" sentiment. I am aware that I am not a huge fan of the current trends right now and am ready for the next one. This particular release kind of feels like a "moment" right now and I am hoping (not hoping... praying) it can do some damage. I'd like to get out of what I feel to be the pop music doldrums as soon as possible. I mean for chrissake we're living in a world where "I Don't Care" is considered an event single?! I like the song, but damn... Now this? This feels like an event. And I've never been much of a Halsey fan.

I really like the track but I don't think it will be as big as Without Me because of the loud chorus. So that’s where we’re at with music these days. ::sigh::

Wow I just can't get this out of my head. Haven't heard something this daring and all around exciting from an established in a long time. Pleeeeeease pay off! I feel like the recent rise of Billie Eilish it just might.
