Take me down to the river
Underneath the blood orange sun
Say my name like a scripture
Keep my heart beating like a drum

I just want songs to be relatable, and to be adopted as someone else's soundtrack.

Now we talking astrology, getting our nails did, all Japanese-y

How can an artist release particular song and hope to be successful with it when even his or her own fans scream they hate it?

Fans don't represent what the gp wants, take for example We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, I Knew You Were Trouble or Nicki's pop songs... most of her fans hate those songs but still they did well with the GP.

Katy's team knows what they're doing... if they listen to her fans they'll end up releasing It Takes Two or Double Rainbow and I'm sure those songs are not going to be more successful than TIHWD, IMO the worst mistake an artist can make is listening to fans instead of the GP.

Perfect post.

I swear though, if radio stations **** up this single's chart run by being pressed, opinionated little ****ing ***** and DON'T play this song just because THEY don't like it, I'll have to take to Twitter. It is NOT okay to go against a single that an artist and their label have selected just because you personally believe that there are better options! At least give the song a ****ing chance. I'm sure the GP will love it, but how can they if they don't ever hear it on the radio? This is a mess and it's not FAIR.

I know it hasn't hit the adds date just yet, but as others have said, there really should be some pre-adds date spins. I don't know whether it's just because it's a fifth single or whatever, but I'm trying to stay calm and think, "It's fine, the adds date isn't here yet, it doesn't need any plays. Any plays would just be extra." But this is getting ridiculous. I think radios are rebelling against her.

[IBeMe]

lmao at the poster above suggesting that radio is rebelling against her. look they will treat her just like they do a ton of other artists and wait until the add dates. Katy is really privileged when it comes to radio support and her fan base have been spoiled. now that she is at her 5th single off an album ppl are having meltdowns if theyre arnt any spns before the add day? take it easy. this song will be a slow burner. I have a feeling it will sell 1.7 million US copies or even 2millionwith the right mv and release tactice. this will do good.just relax

None of them are Katycats. Look at it again. Kats are actually quoting them.

You don't know that. They could easily be Katykats with Katy not affiliated in their usernames.

Trust me, the GP probably don't know what "Walking On Air" is or if it was a single or not.

[SlayingOnTheEarth]

You could argue that she/the label listened to her fans for Birthday and look how that turned out...

Did you guys see the love for International Smile on YouTube?

The fact that you guys are warming up to it, as well is great!

This is 100% true.

Gaga listened to her team, she got a radio smash (Applause)
Gaga listened to her team, she got a moderate hit (DWUW)
[would have been a smash if it weren't for the MV not dropping]
Gaga listened to her fans, she got a major flop. (G.U.Y.)

I'd be more inclined to believe her team know what they're doing if they hadn't been messing up recently. They've been knocked off their rockers ever since Uncle.

Their game has been so off this era. They're lucky Dark Horse was handed to them on a silver platter

Dark Horse is what messed up their original plan, I mean I love the song but I do believe Dark Horse killed Unconditionally (with Roar) and Birthday(and the long video)..
