Nicki's attitude about it did not help matters either. It is never smart to abandon your core audience. Viley will soon learn this when her first week sales #s come in.

But WCS was still a POP song, though, that could of fit just fine on Pop radio if it was actually played more. And Wrecking Ball is a run-of-the-mill Pop power ballad [a great one, at that], so I think Miley didn't abandon her audience.
