Should we be worried?

Black Magic's callout score so far. Who's good at analysing this? I've got no clue what it all means. They're at #11 though.

I am not sure, but I think it got pretty bad callout scores. 55 is too low

I think the callout scores are ok. Not amazing, but nothing to give radio serious reason to just drop the track.
I think it just needs to played a bit more for listeners to become more familiar before radio makes a serious decision.

[Shy Boy]

It seems like it's overall rank was brought down by its low familiarity, because its positive (7) & net positive (11) rankings are good.

The most worrying thing to me is it's low "favorite" ranking. Other low ranking songs in that category seem to be the ones stalling on radio.

Just when I thought this was about to smash

Hoping for a second wing

I'm not concerned about radio honestly. They just need to keep rising on streams. I don't support streaming and I think it's cheating, but that's how Billboard works now. As long as it keeps rising on streams, and if they go back to the US to promote, streams and sales later on could boost them to top 40. Radio will probably start to play it slightly more then.

The callout scores are pretty good. The most important score is "Net Positive" (percentage of people who gave it a positive rating subtracted by the percentage of people who gave it a negative rating). In terms of Net Positive, it's ranked #11, which is good.

So with that being said, I have absolutely no idea why it's stalling on pop radio. It has good callout scores and very good sales for a song that's only in the 20s on pop radio. It should be doing much better than this The only thing I can think of is that A LOT of new songs by big artists are coming (Taylor, Justin, Macklemore and Nick Jonas), so this might be getting a bit overshadowed.

I was trying to find you to ask you about the callout scores

Yeah, I was worried this would happen. Plus Ellie, Ariana, and Selena all have singles coming up as well. Hopefully this can just hold on long enough to weather the onslaught.

How long have you been tracking BM in the hopes of finding a negative update to post?

I was thinking that maybe with the summer coming to an end, BM isn't as appealing as it was a month ago. I'm hoping that this is just a rough patch.

[Team_Avatar]

Its not really a "summer song" though. It's just a simple, catchy pop song. I personally think it's the fact that they're not actively promoting the single and the glut of big releases.

I'm actually starting to get annoyed, because they literally left at the worst possible time. The song was on the cusp of really blowing up. Hopefully they can regain momentum when they come back in mid September.

I thought this would get better radio updates than that 5SOS song. Z100 have only just added it so maybe a second wind is possible.

[Shy Boy]

I was expecting this to plummet on the Hot 100 but it's up 1 place. https://twitter.com/gthot20/status/638451356718768128

This song is so good, I'm mad POP has stopped playing it.

It's call-out scores were so good.
