813. Marina and The Diamonds - How to Be a Heartbreaker

Scabandplaster

It's a radio edit so maybe she can finally make it onto the Billboard Dance/Club Songs chart at the very least. Primadonna was so close to success in the U.S.

Poor Primadonna

Don't remind me.

I have good feeling about this one. But I did with her last try.

It in the 700s on iTunes. Let's hope things keep on rolling.

Gerry I Shot

Well the single is off to a better start than Primadonna so there is some sort of hope. Here's a mock up update from AZ on Pulse:

This has so much more potential than Primadonna.

Scabandplaster

We also need to acknowledge it's probably gonna take off in the U.K. once promotion begins. It was never on the UK album so interest will be way higher for the single.

I don't want to be a negative nancy, but primadonna had more potential and it failed... This won't do any better... mark my words!

collin

I disagree, I think this song has a little bit more potential.
It's a little less all over the place, has a viral video and lyrics that are easy to get stuck in your head, etc.
Primadonna had a lot of this, but it was a little messy in presentation. Doesn't make it any less iconic, tho.

Primdonna even went top 40 on pop

what a shame that would've been a perfect first hit

Scabandplaster

I still cry thinking about Primadonna ALMOST happened. I heard it on the radio daily and it seemed to be making an impact but then...nothing.

collin

Once I heard Primadonna at the pool and almost cried.

right? primadonna was too ****ing weird for pop radio in the U.S. we are only here for songs about love or partying - marina's warbly voice and archetype motif are just not going to happen.

HTBAH has more potential, but it's still too weird.

saturnus

I honestly think Radioactive would have worked 100x better. Straight-up dance-pop love song. Nothing weird or too complex about it. It also had a really great music video to match.

Mister Martian

I never imagined Primadonna having potential here, tbh. Great song, but it's just not a song I expect to hear people singing when I'm walking down the street. HTBAHB has a more radio friendly beat and the lyrical content is more consistent with radio right now. It will probably do about as well as Karmin's single that I don't remember anymore.

Gerry I Shot

If this song could do as well as Karmin's that would be amazing. Brokenhearted did very well for them. Here's new stations spinning the single:

It's in the Top 700 on iTunes for the first time since release. #650

How is it doing on radio?

Just saw someone from my school quoting this song as their status.

Hopefully its being played on the radio or something.
