[Slow Down]

Glad this didn't completely bomb & still has a chance at smashing. This is my favorite track from them yet and it deserves to do well. Too bad we couldn't get a remix version featuring Demi or something to give it a push.

What kind of baseless statement? If that were true, Sledgehammer wouldn't have been added by 159 US pop stations, have over 3000 more spins than BO$$ did at its peak and currently be 17 spots higher on the pop chart than BO$$'s peak. They get these kind of angry comments and "threats" from pretty much every fandom with huge Twitter activity, and if the song was meant to be a huge smash, they wouldn't risk losing audience due to some petty tweets.

However, there is one station in Milwaukee that I'm pretty sure has blacklisted them, but that's a different story entirely.

Wait spill the tea on this, what happened ?

Apparently KIIS in LA played it three times today, and it was #4 in their Top 9 at 9!

Back when BO$$ was struggling on the pop chart and peaking far earlier than most Harmonizers expected, Twitter Harmonizers were sending somewhat angry tweets to radio stations telling them to play it. This Milwaukee station tweeted that they were playing some big hit (can't remember which one), so one Harmonizer replied to them telling them to stop overplaying the big hit and to instead play BO$$ and called them "swines". So this station replied with something like: "Please go look at the iTunes positions of the two songs you're referring to. Love, the Swines" and attached a picture of the high iTunes position of the hit and the #63 position of BO$$, which caused a TON of Harmonizers to start sending them hate.

Obviously it died down after about a day and Harmonizers stopped requesting to that station. But then when Sledgehammer first came out, Harmonizers (quite politely) asked them if they could play it, and the station started to tweet people back being like "Sure! Hope you like it!" and then attaching a picture of a sledgehammer. So from that moment on, it became pretty clear that they're holding a grudge and won't play any 5H music because they refuse to move on from a petty tweet war with a bunch of pre-teens

did the 5SOS stans or Directioners do the same thing?
I think all the messy tweens on Twitter do that
the radio stations should be bigger mature people tbh

Exactly. These fandoms are made up of immature pre-teens, and these stations' social media accounts are run by adults. It's clear who should be taking the high road here.

Considering how well the song is doing on iTunes and how well it's testing, it's their loss in the end. They can remain one of the 17 pressed stations that haven't added it yet.

I hope your right this song should be a top 15 smash. Their isnt much comp at the moment that could block them from that

Remember last week we had that + 1.647 update, it didn't even suffer the rolling effect.
Keep holding on fo' dear life, Slayhammer!
