i don't get why she doesn't just go to some pop radio stations do a couple interviews and get them to play the song?

[Teezy]

Why record and release a pop album if you're not gonna service any of the songs to that format?

Weak @ this being thought of as a good single for Urban

[MarryTheMonster]

Yaaas Kiss & Tell needs to be a single though

Even if it was sent to Pop, there's a slim chance of this song smashing.

a slim chance is better than no chance at all. Nobody is trying to hear untz untz on Hot 97 or Power 105. Dance Like We're Making Love was a good choice and she should have went through with it for urban. Kiss & Tell is a great choice too & her best shot at a crossover hit

I doubt they'll send this to any other format before giving up and wonder "Oh gee I wonder why this didn't take off".

Lmao and this is my problem. I can imagaine the conversations

Guy in suit: why isn't her main format picking this up

Other guy in suit: I don't understand either, she is coming off a top ten at that format

Guy in suit: if her main format isn't picking it up, I don't think we should waste time sending it to other formats

Other guy in suit: K

1 - Because Overdose wasn't sent to pop (or any other format) after being sent to urban first.

2 - If the song flops on its format, it has a "flop" stigma and it struggles to cross over

3 - This wouldn't be the first time Epic messes up

4 - In order for the song to be launched at pop, they'll need money for the launching, the banners and the radio promo. That's the kind of money they don't seem to have it, or at least they haven't proved they're willing to spend it on Ciara.

If the adds were at least rhythmic radio, noone would complain.

thanks for explanation even doe i remember how overdose ended up, i dnt wanna deal wit this era be done already, and im so happy my favorite song on the album is a single, like that never happens

they do make dumb choices, but ppl who have twitter tweet ha



its not too late

[MEGA]

This is history repeating itself. Such a mess Ci. I hope she sees sense, sticks with DLWML on Urban and Rhythmic, sends this or THIF to Pop and sees if they crossover.

That aside though, amazing single choice, especially WW in places like the UK where I Bet has kind of opened her up to a larger audience again. They will latch onto this far more than I Bet.

[ccfan007]

Mess at them sending this to urban. At least send it to rhythmic! Ugh being a ciara fan is so frustrating. I just want to see her get the success she deserves.

[Musickid203]

What happened to DLWML.... That's was a sure hit!

Poor Ciara.

[iConicLegend]

The truth is that big business controls the types of music and artists that get exposure and become popular. The record industry is a $14 billion dollar business. The five major record labels; Sony, Universal, BMG, EMI and Time Warner dominate 85% of the market when it comes to sales of Compact Discs. Leaving only 15% for the hundreds of independent record labels and thousands of artists out there. And when indies get too big or an artist starts making noise these major companies usually pick up the artist or label. This way they control the artist/label, get a percentage of the sales and keep competition to a minimum. Ciara still gets a pretty large share but it seems they don't to waste money sending it to pop if they aren't going to play it. Shell get snubbed. :/

[spc08]

Needs more Adds asap!
If they're going to bypass the automatic hit That's How I'm Topchartin' they need to service this to pop now.
Where's Johnny Wright when you need him.

[iConicLegend]

It's probably hard for them to choose singles everything is good.

it doesn't matter what song they choose if they can't handle it right
I'm seriously done with Epic now

[.Chad.]

It's a good single choice, but for pop, not Urban.

This era should have gone:

01. Dance Like We're Making Love
02. One Woman Army
03. Give Me Love
04. Only One

Like, if you're gonna go pop, go full-on with it.
-

At this point I'd just hope for
01. I Bet
02. Give Me Love
03. Dance Like We're Making Love
04. Only One

[Navyman]

Is it possible for this to become a hit yall?

[Loud!]

[FantasyRide]

Sometimes I feel like record labels are full of illiterate people. But not illiterate in the sense of education, illiterate as stupid
