You know wha.

[XXX.]

1. She removed it from radio to make way for the 2nd single, which would explain the drop.
2. She still shits on your fav artists.
3. Anything else?

Can I get a receipt of the record getting pulled?

She definitey removed it. It was stalling at #4 on Pop radio and then her team used payola to get it to #1 and now she's pulling it to make room for Ready For It.

This isn't uncommon. Earlier this year, Katy pulled Chained from the radios to make room for Bon Appetit. In the days leading up to Bon Appetit's release, Chained to the Rhythm was getting -5M updates on Pop radio.

You honestly have no proof of that.

The song did not perform well on streaming platforms, and the sales were not very great.  Also the radio call out scores were bad.

This song simply did not connect with the public.

The label pulling it excuse has no weight, because it has been having lackluster radio updates for about a month now.

It's literally normal for labels to pull a song from radio to make room for the next single. Regardless of CTTR's poor streaming performance, it was still in the Top 10 of Pop radio and they pulled it to make room for Bon Appetit.

Taylor is doing the same thing. She's pulling LWYMMD from radio to make room for Ready For It. She's releasing the video late Thursday night at the start of the tracking week and we can expect Ready For It to have a radio deal on Friday.

Taylor is gonna do whatever it takes to get a hit (props to her). Let's not forget she has an album coming out in 2 weeks so she's gonna do anything she can to promote the album.

Happens all the time!

You have ZERO proof of this.  Don't tell me what ATRLers tell each other to soften the blow for their fave's music being dropped. 

The song did not connect beyond the first few weeks, and has been struggling at radio for a month.  The radio, sales & streaming response are all consistent with a song that did not connect well beyond initial hype.  This was not something that happened as a result of the label sending out some alert. 

She had another song ready to go that's already Top 20 at Pop, and now she's rolling it out.

Regardless of what you said, CTTR was a huge worldwide hit. It was one of the biggest hits this year in Europe & was still in the Top 10 in many European countries in April/May.

If you look at songs that peaked on Pop radio that peaked and decline, the usual decline is between 1M-2.5M each day. A decline of -5M each day for several days is unnatural unless it's been pulled by a label.

I've been tracking charts for years, trust me when I say the reason why CTTR declined so quickly on radio is because Katy and her label pulled it from radio.

I'm not nor have I ever been talking about Katy Perry.

I'm talking about "Look What You Made Me Do".  You have zero proof the label pulled it, and by the sequence of events in this song's performance, it would make absolutely no sense for them to pull something radio already has stopped playing. 

Next caller!

Tbh, I've loved Taylor when she wasn't TAYLOR
you gorls are the ones just getting on that train

They used payola to get LWWMMD to #1 and now they're pulling it to make room for Ready For It's radio deal which starts on Friday.

It's not hard to understand.

Why would they have to make room for something that was already trending upwards on the format 

[Mel.]

Why would they have to make room for something that was already trending upwards on the format 

So that radio can focus on one song
which imo is smart...it's better radio gave all their support to the current single and not play the old one
which takes away from the new single

If the song got pulled by radio it would disappear all together from the format. So no.

Exactly!  The song is Top 20 and "Look" has already been dropped and having bad updates for the last 2 weeks consecutively.

I hate when fans make up theories. 

I can tell he's from ATRL.

They never learn. Smh.

In Taylor's defense she has another song that's already  Top 20 at Pop, but "Look What You Made Me Do" crashed on Spotify and the radio call out scores were really bad.  Plus, it was falling quickly on iTunes before they discounted.

So, this didn't connect well with the public (by her standards) beyond the initial hype.  It also didn't help that people seemed to like "Ready For It?" more.

lolz
