Idk what y'all worrying about song is doing fine. I'm here for it to have longevity not just peak high n fall. I'm sure it'll have the S&S effect and radio will play a big part of it.

theres another radio deal next week ?

No song has ever had a radio deal in its second week so i highly doubt it, and another radio deal would turn radio stations off and do too much.

[UnusualBoy]

The song is plummeting everywhere so I hope they better release the 2nd single late October-early November or we're doomed.

Wow i'm actually stunned at the way the song is performing. Not being well recieved at all.
I dont even think promo will help.
Katy & Gaga both stayed in the top ten without any promo.

Eminem's song is still top ten with much less airplay.

Its been declining non stop. It sucks when good songs flop, but hey if the public isn't feeling it there isn't much that can be done.

What are you even talking about? The "public" must be "feeling it" if it got the largest radio update today. It was also number 2 on LA's KISS FM 9@9 countdown (which is based on requests and votes from listeners.) To top it off, Billboard just said in their article that listener response at radio has been "over-the-top excited" according to top radio programmers in the nation.

Give it some time to grow on people. It's a lot different than the generic, safe crap Katy and Gaga put out for their leads. Even though it's another dance track, it hits harder than anything on the radio and it has a different structure and style than anything Brit's done before.

I know you "jumped ship," but if you are going to keep tabs on her single, at least pay attention.

isnt it still on its deal tho?

No. She had a one day deal. From Sunday at 3pm until Monday at 2pm. It been building spins on its own since Tuesday afternoon. That's why the radio updates dropped way down early this week. Stations were letting listeners weigh in and letting the song speak for itself. As of yesterday her song had the 2nd largest radio update of the day, and today it was the largest.

Applause is hardly safe + generic. Work Bitch is the most generic out of the three

The song is free falling on itunes smart one. The iTunes charts are solely based off what the public is buying.
The song was released less than a week ago, of course radio directors are spinning the song heavily.
Usually Britney's single radio play positively affects iTunes sales. It isn't the case this time, (dark red updates)

I am keeping tabs, my assumptions are based of concrete evidence. I'm not just pulling them out of thin air.

You're delusional if you think that Work Bitch is safer than either Applause or in particular Roar.

How is Applause safe in any way? Besides the chorus. Maybe WB isn't as generic as Roar, but it's much more generic than applause

[Dizzy]

Applause isn't generic, but neither is WB.

Roar is the only generic one.

I like all three songs but you know damn well WB is not the most generic

[Superbitch]

I hope y'all bookmark all the Stans that jumped ship and let's see who's here later this year.

Ok, it's not as generic as roar, but no one should be saying it is risky!

Played Work Bitch at the party I was at last night.

Had to get that promo in.

I didn't imply it was selling stellar on iTunes. I was just pointing out concrete facts that show iTunes is only one side of the equation. It isn't just getting radio play for the fun of it. People want to hear the song. That's why you have radio directors quoted in the Billboard article that say that the response has been great. That's why it got requested enough to be number 2 on one of the largest radio stations in the country's countdown.

On top of that, it's getting respectable Vevo views and climbing up the Spotify chart.

I'm not pulling anything out of thin air either. I'm pulling from radio updates, an article from a respected music authority, and data from Vevo and Spotify. I agree its run on iTunes is disappointing, but that doesn't mean the "public" isn't "feeling it." Especially when according to radio listeners and music streamers, they are. They apparently didn't "feel" Scream and Shout either which peaked lower its first week on iTunes than Work Bitch, yet that went on to become one of the biggest hits this year, eventually claiming the top spot on iTunes.

Not every song goes through the same life cycle. Work Bitch could just need time to catch on. It could also end up flopping, but who cares? One thing's for sure, If it doesn't do well commercially, you can bet that most well adjusted people won't be sending death threats her way.

Applause sounds exactly like what you'd expect out of Gaga. Roar is another "your the best" preachy Dr. Luke+Katy Perry track. Please name another song on the radio that has a similar structure to or hits as hard as Work Bitch. You can't, because there aren't any. Yes it's also dance music like most of what gets played on Top 40, so while it fits in fine enough, it does it while also sounding like nothing else out there.

But we can just agree to disagree, I guess.

[SilencePlease]

Not y'all thinking that WB and Applause aren't generic

Applause is a 2013's version of The Fame. Nothing new in the industry.

And WB sounds like all the songs from 2010-2012, you know, Guetta, Black Eyed Peas and so on.

You know what sounds new nowadays?: Royals, Blurred Lines or Wake Me Up.

I've already corrected myself. I know Work Bitch is not as generic as Roar. But Applause's verses alone are more riskier than the entirety of Work Bitch
