the difference between tihwd and birthday having radio and streaming respectively sabotaging them is that birthday sabotaged itself while people/radio stations were genuinely not here for TIHWD.

The GP don't really have a say on what radio play, that's my whole point. TIHWD was sabotaged by a few people with power to play or not play it.
Birthday:
Sales? GP said meh.
Streaming? GP said no.
Airplay? Sounds like a TD-era bop, thanks for the cake Katy! *plays*
TIHWD:
Sales? GP said meh.
Streaming: GP said HELL YEAH!
Airplay? We want Walking on Air... and we played Birthday and it flopped... No. *plays Dark Horse*
#24 definitely wasn't its maximum potential or whatever, nor was Birthday's #17. With a GP-friendly video for Birthday and radio support for TIHWD both would have been Top 10s.
