Probably frontloaded 

if we know for sure a payola video is this 1,07billion viewed flop song

 

This was blatantly faked. This was not a hit, and having a provocative, interesting music video only works if the GP is interested. LITERALLY no one I know, knows this song or of the music video. The younger ones only know Swish Swish because of TikTok

And let's talk about her flop lead singles daily YT views:

Stupid Love - 88,159 

Born This Way- 47,499

Perfect Illusion- 22,972 

These views aren't that bad when we see the current views of some alleged hits...

Katy Perry - Never Really Over

It kinda was a flop. Chained To The Rhythm wasn't though. And Swish Swish to a lesser extent. Swish Swish is viral on TikTok so people know it

I think they are really bad if we have to compare them with a Katy Perry song to make them look good

I’ve been on tik tok since it came out (2018) - I don’t remember swish swish being viral at all. Are you sure you aren’t just talking about the floss dance/Fortnite?

No its viral now. Nicki Minaj's verse on the song. The "pink ferragamo, sliders on deck, silly rap beefs just give me more checks". That segment

But if you call this song a hit, then does that mean it's not that bad to make that comparison, or is it not a hit?

OHHHHH yes - this was viral on tik tok. We need a new term for hits that only certain generations or groups of people know chile

TikTok hit? Gen Z hit?

Well it is a Stupid Love sized hit so

It just depends on who you ask. I would say its a small hit. It's recurrent streams on spotify are okay, and her fanbase is tiny at this point so it's definitely not them streaming it which means the GP likes it. It's a good song though. (talking about NRO)

I would say Stupid Love is bigger. Gaga is more relevant in this day and age. People wanted to listen to gaga's pop comeback after ASIB and listened to stupid love. They just hated it. People didn't want to listen to Katy.

*US audiences hated it

everyone loved it in tea land and still plays on the radios 

Yeah I know it was big in Europe, but according to people on the internet, the only chart that matters is the u.s one

Has anyone introduced you to what's playlists reach? NRO was literally a whole year above 40M reach on Spotify, not even Shallow has that reach nowadays.

Wait why didn't Capitol do this for all the Smile songs?
