Problem sold solely due to #1ggy's hype at the time
& Bang Bang is a Jessie J song
still can't smash on her own, she has to rely on that (Feat. ________) tag

It's still a lead single. Uptown Funk had only two televised performances, yet look where it's at now.
Also, you clearly weren't around during Selena's last era if you think the over-promotion tactic only applies to Ari. Selena was EVERYWHERE promoting Come & Get Your Only Taste of Success and Stars Can't Dance, yet she still didn't manage to come as far as Ariana has despite the latter literally debuting herself to the public around that time. At least Ariana's massive promotion has made her into a star and she's now selling out arenas because of that. I don't think I need to post pics of Selena's near vacant venues when she attempted to tour to prove the point.
Not to mention that Problem received success BEFORE Fancy, and Jessie J's follow-up singles both tanked beyond recognition, not to mention that Ariana managed to debut with 140K+ sales of an ALBUM TRACK and top iTunes because of it. You gonna tell me Big Sean did that? Didn't think so.
She's lucky the press (with the exception of a few smart, perceptive writers) is kind to her because most other actresses would have been ripped apart. I guess it's a sign that only her hair and love life are of interest.
) because she was scared of getting ebola
