So far, I've heard Elastic Heart about a dozen times on my local pop and HAC stations; every time, the solo version has been played. In fact, I wasn't aware of the The Weeknd version until I asked in this thread a few days ago why he was credited on Kworb's site.

They should play Abel's version now that people seem to love him.

It would seem like a logical move, yes.

It's worth noting that the song is not yet charting on rhythmic. If it does end up charting there, the The Weeknd version will likely be played.

The Weeknd is only credited cause he was in the title the first time the song appeared on All Access. My program saves the title only once and keeps it like that unless I change it manually. I usually don't bother unless I am personally annoyed by it, or someone asks me to.

She's with Warner Bros., so that's more than likely.

Idolator wrote briefly about the song yesterday.

The song isn't bad for a 15 years old. Her dad is a legend.

Two steps forward, and two steps back. Still hoping this can get to the top 40, but it seems unlikely at this point.

I know.

It's perfectly suited for AC. A comforting, powerful vocal yet an emotional song that all ages can resonate too; it's also poppy enough for a station to keep in its current rotation.

Speaking of AC longevity, this isn't really a milestone, but:

I actually really like "In Love With A Boy" - Kaya's voice is really cool, especially for somebody so young. Hope it smashes.

[Almighty Gaga]

In Love With A Boy's payola is giving me Tori Kelly's Nobody Love teas. The song is not even in the top 1500.

[alexanderao]

Man, as much as I think it is mediocre, SYA is so huge.

I've heard it at least 10 times today on my local stations, and I've only listened for around 1.5 hours.

All Access is attributing the airplay to the solo version so that must get the majority

[brianc33616]

As the song gets bigger, and with The Weekend's recent success, I bet the version featuring him begins getting some airplay. That would make the song grow faster in my opinion, although he does have two brand new tracks out. Rihanna did it, so maybe he can have three tracks climbing the Hot 100 at once too.

At least she still got it on URBAN
Only female in the top 20



It's sad that the trinity Bey/Rih/Nicki are the only ones showing consistency on URBAN radio this decade

Why are they so sexist ?
