The reasoning about it being too explicit for radio and all, but she made it clear that she doesn't- especially in this past era- care whether or not radio plays her music. Plus releasing Blow would have brought attention to women embracing sexuality in their songs compared to men whose songs are constantly picked up and played by radio despite having much more sexually explicit lyrics than Blow. Like, Blow isn't even that bad..
And Mine was bound to be a hit. I believe Haunted would have been at least a moderate hit as well.  |
and still, even though all of this is true, the way shes handled this particular era has cemented her status as a legend. Shes proven, unlike all of her peers, that she does not need any hit, any promospots, in order to be super-successfull and leave an impact. I mean, the fact that "I woke up like dis" is more remembered than most songs released since Dec 2013 says it all tbh.
