That payola business was a crock. Everything is transparent now. Payola still exists, but it operates differently and is transparent (an artist will agree to do a concert for a radio station, or give an iHeartRadio appearance, do an interview for a station, or negotiate a one-day Clear Channel deal for a first single). If a big pop artist isn't maintaining a relationship with radio, their career will probably be short lived.

Didn't Gaga went to like 20 radio stations during the Applause campaign?
I know Katy also did it but still.

It's the first day of release and its sales are abysmal. This era has been full of let-downs. Back to the studio for her Ray of Light, I suppose.

When does the music video come out?

Truth be told, people are actually here for Katy's live performances which is followed by them buying her songs

We don't know. It's iTunes performance after the official release will probably dictate when.

If the song starts to take off on iTunes after the official radio adds, then it probably won't be until a month or so. However, it it struggles on iTunes, then we might get it pretty soon.

Dark Horse still has over 200 million AI and is top 10 on iTunes. The public's attention is still on that. Has Katy released a new single before when you previous was still this high?

At this rate, I doubt it could even surpass "Thinking of You". We know, because of the upcoming tour, promotion for this would be at an absolute minimum.

Katheryn deserves better.
