So much about call outs and their reliability!

Haha! Well, you're right. But it did get great call out on rhythmic and urban. It was actually massive. No one said it did not get good scores on those formats. I was talking about Pop. Pop and young females (around 20 years old) were the problem that's why it stalled a little bit when it was in the teens on pop but shockingly it worked very well with older females who listen to Hot AC or HOT AC leaning pop stations. Young females who listen to pop were pushed from both sides. The HOT AC side and the Rhythmic/Urban side. Something that almost never happens!!! They finally gave up and the song kinda worked with them too. Bottom line is, the song was too urban for pop and that is why it underperformed on radios abroad and Mirros smashed way earlier than in the US. The US has an urban side that does not exist in other countries and in combination with his huge name and the love by older females who were young during the Nsync and Justified eras and still get wet with Justin, saved the song on pop and the wave carried away young females too. But trust me, when it was at around no12-15 on pop and it stalled even RCA did not know if they were gonna make it higher for sure on that format. That's when a good label tries hard instead of giving up and they did. Things improved. Call Out numbers change during a song's run. People might hate something and then love it or the opposite.
Mirros is massive on pop research though. That's why it's having an excellent uninterrupted run to no1.
He is the king! I apologize!
