I see a lot of ATRLers downplay PIU success despite several facts surrounding the song:

a) The song is Urban-only. While at some point it was scheduled for release on pop, it was scrapped. The song was only an urban-only single that was only released because the song gained traction on radio stations.

b) It became the biggest urban song of the year.

c) Sold over 1 million singles in the US with no promo. The video was released many months after the song reached peak position.

What do you think sistren?

Keep it cute and fact based sistren.

Love this song tho, its so urban

It is. It is an urban single that went platinum, was one of the biggest urban radio hits of the past year, and the video has close to 100M views on YouTube. Not to mention the cultural impact it had.

no video?
I consider it a moderate hit..

It is a hit, it's a big hit actually for the treatment it got. It would have been huge if it were treated as a normal single.

Only extremely ignorant people would not consider it so.

It's a smash hit. Didn't it break the Urban radio AI record? Urban classic

Sis, what is this cultural impact you speak of?

Because the girls in here mainly focus on pop-driven hits and only pay attention to the Hot 100.

It is a hit. Smashing on pop radio isn't the only way to get a hit.

Lots of ATRL members are so simple-minded, it was a big hit.

its a hit i dont know who says it isnt a hit?

.

It's a monster Urban radio hit, one of the biggest urban AI ever, biggest 2013 urban song tbh.

If it's not a pop hit, ATRL doesn't consider it a hit.

I'm thinking there are billions of people who haven't even heard the song. So that's a lot of "extremely ignorant people."

it was a hit, everyone was aware of "Pour it up, pour it up"

The parodies, the controversy when the late ass video dropped, bringing trap music back to pop radio, etc.

But Pour it up was the biggest urban hit on radio in 2013, went platinum and top 20 with no video.
- How is it not a hit
