I've been saying all along that TIHWD could've been the WUIV of the PRISM era but radio ruined everything and also zero live performances.

Well you've been correct since the beginning. It was seriously done wrong. If TIHWD had the same amount of airplay as Birthday, it would have gone Top 10, no doubt.

Its called "Funeral falling like a rock while titties prayed for a top 10 on pop!"

TIHWD is a grower and sounds really fresh. Its lyrics are addictive.

I still listen to that song regularly. I agree it would have smashed with a performance and radio airplay.

There sure was.

#DoneWrong

I am still mad at Katy for releasing Birthday and TIHWD over Legendary Lovers & CYB, tho.

CYB was (thankfully) never an option, but LL was robbed.

Then again, LL would have suffered the same fate as TIHWD. Yet I bet nobody would be claiming "it's a horrible song!" had it peaked outside the Top 20.

no its from my post on the last page

only radio but WHO cares about radio?

TIHWD is the 3rd most successful single off PRISM

and that's that

Legendary Lovers should've been a single and Katy is dumb.

I think TIHWD would have at least uncles sales if it got birthdays airplay.

I like TIHWD better than Dark Horse on some days, lol.

TIHWD is a fun fresh summer song but the no promo killed it

the album was still new

it would sell with or without Uncle

TIHWD was released 9 months after PRISM
