BuzzJack Music Forum _ Pop _ Olivia Rodrigo - traitor

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 10th June 2021, 07:07 PM



Despite not been announced as the fourth single from Sour and possibly won’t be announced for a while as Good 4 U is still gaining in Airplay. Traitor is on HHUK and Today’s Top Hits and is looking likely of going top five in the UK this week as well as it going top 10 worldwide.

Should it be announced as the new single within the next month or should we have another single?

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 10th June 2021, 07:08 PM

I’d personally focus on another track as I think Traitor will have peaked most places worldwide within the next month unless they decide to get a big artist on the remix but the fact that she’s going to manage a top five hit despite a remix is incredible tbh *.*

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 11th June 2021, 08:38 AM

I don't get this song tbh

I wish 'Brutal' was getting the opportunity to chart instead

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 11th June 2021, 06:57 PM

This going top 5 *.*

Music video being shot. What are we thinking it's for?

Posted by: Tafty³³³ 19th June 2021, 08:00 PM

Looks like it could be an edgy and full of attitude video so I'm hoping for Brutal!

A few of the comments are suggesting that or jealousy jealousy. Not too big on jj personally but I see how the look kinda would fit.

Posted by: Hadji 19th June 2021, 08:15 PM

I reckon "Traitor" should automatically be made as the albums fourth single due to its success

Posted by: Tafty³³³ 19th June 2021, 11:30 PM

Tbf, I don't think it needs to be tbh. It's already doing amazingly without being a single...

Posted by: Bré 20th June 2021, 12:40 AM

I know it's not a lot to go off but that one screenshot definitely does point towards it being either 'brutal' or 'jealousy, jealousy' (both of which are highlights for me so yes please either way, I am here for 'traitor' erasure x).

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 20th June 2021, 06:13 PM

Judging by that photo, I’m guessing brutal.

It’s logical to move on from traitor imo as it’s probably peaked!

Posted by: Hadji 20th June 2021, 07:17 PM

A lot of album-tracks have been turned into singles due to having big success which is why I think it’s logic to make "Traitor" the fourth single

Posted by: Bré 20th June 2021, 07:32 PM

Yeah but it's also logic that she release a song that's actually good xoxox

Is that way only "logical" if it has a chance to re-peak? Because I don't think a 'traitor' release at this point would do anything but extend it's longevity?

Posted by: -Jay- 21st June 2021, 02:47 AM

I think I'm here for it to be brutal. Let's keep this pop/rock moment going *.*

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 21st June 2021, 05:29 AM

Yes, c'mon 'Brutal'!!

Posted by: Bjork 21st June 2021, 07:15 AM

Anything but Traitor, thats her worst song ever

I have a soft spot for Favourite Crime, so hope that's the next single

Posted by: Juan Carlos 22nd June 2021, 05:40 PM

I think it's either "Brutal" or "Traitor".

Both of them have been receiving early airplay on Alternative and Pop radio stations in the US, respectively, prompting to enter inside the Top 50 in those formats, so I'm inclined to think that these are the only options to go for now.

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 22nd June 2021, 05:59 PM

It still feels a bit early as Good 4 U isn’t even old yet but it’s already smashed worldwide I guess!

Posted by: Juan Carlos 23rd June 2021, 04:39 AM

Added as a FYC to US radio programmers. FYI, this doesn't mean that it's the next single yet, but there are some pop radio stations which are already picking the track to play it.

Posted by: Hadji 23rd June 2021, 11:15 PM

She’s been hinting on IG that it’s "Brutal"

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 23rd June 2021, 11:35 PM

I hope so!

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 30th June 2021, 07:24 PM



This would have been a lovely music video!

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 13th July 2021, 09:37 PM

Traitor has received a 40% increase on US Pop Airplay, I think this could be the next single

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 24th July 2021, 06:05 PM

Really surprised we’ve not heard anything yet in regards to this

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th July 2021, 11:07 PM

It's too soon I expect, good 4 u is still doing so well, they'll surely wait a little bit longer for it to slow down on US radio.

Posted by: 365 24th July 2021, 11:40 PM

I feel like Jealousy Jealousy would do the best of the songs remaining. I thought Brutal was already a single though oop.

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 25th July 2021, 10:59 PM

I think traitor is being pushed as next single, it’s had a huge jump on USA Pop Airplay, I wonder if we will get any sort of remix for it?

It’s close to ACR here, at least it will allow Brutal to chart once it hits ACR!

Posted by: Jαsє 28th July 2021, 08:09 PM

'traitor' is the next single according to an ATRL insider and is apparently officially impacting pop radio in August.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 28th July 2021, 09:28 PM

Ugh, 'Traitor' has already had its time to shine - give something else a chance!

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 28th July 2021, 09:54 PM

Hopefully they have some remix for it, it’s chart run is going to be weird as it’s away to hit ACR

Posted by: LiamSime 29th July 2021, 08:30 AM

I’ve really grown to Traitor recently I really like it so I would be happy for this to be true, although like mentioned it will be weird as it’s been charting for a while and is due for ACR soon! Still think it’s a bit early with good 4 u still doing so well so I think she will wait a little bit longer before releasing.

Posted by: -Jay- 30th July 2021, 04:46 PM

I'm a little disappointed with that choice too, given that it's already had its moment to shine, in such a way that it almost felt like it was already a single anyway. Oh well!

Posted by: Smint 31st July 2021, 02:26 PM

'Traitor' would be a great release as it would be the 4th single in a row directly referencing the break up. In fact its lyrics are so similar to "Good 4 u" its almost it's less rocky sister. Love a bit of thematic unity.

Posted by: Mack. 4th August 2021, 12:34 PM

jealousy, jealousy to be the fifth single?

Posted by: Juan Carlos 5th August 2021, 05:35 PM

As expected, this is the next single.


Posted by: Smint 5th August 2021, 11:40 PM

Great. Looking forward to the video to this. It’s incredibly bitter but with a sweet melody which is an interesting contrast. Not popular on Buzzjack Reshuffle chart though.

Posted by: JackTheeStallion 6th August 2021, 06:42 PM

^ what has buzzjack ever really known about taste though?

One of my faves off of the album, it almost feels timeless and I think its simplicity really works for it.

Posted by: JSG 6th August 2021, 06:45 PM

It's a beautiful song. I know it's been on the chart a while anyway and been on Radio for ages but I guess we better expect another stint in the upper end of the chart!

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 17th August 2021, 01:16 AM

Seems like Brutal is being pushed.

Please let his be true, don't tease me. 🙏

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 23rd August 2021, 03:25 PM

She says brutal will be new single but radio spins in the usa for this increased by 50%!

Posted by: JSG 23rd August 2021, 05:05 PM



The video for Brutal is up.

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 25th August 2021, 05:51 PM

this is going on acr next week, likely we can get either favourite crime or brutal next week

Posted by: Bjork 27th August 2021, 07:01 AM

Traitor added to R1's playlist

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 27th August 2021, 07:56 AM

What the hell wacko.gif

Posted by: 34+35 27th August 2021, 10:33 AM

Ugh so messy, Traitor is done in Europe, ideally they would’ve pushed Jealousy, Jealousy now, but localised singles are a thing of the past, so they probably won’t push anything else now? Or at least until Traitor is done in the US.

Posted by: dannjohn 14th September 2021, 04:07 PM

i have no idea whats going with this era... what even is the current single? Good 4 u, Traitor or Brutal??

Traitor is on Radio 1's playlist so that.

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 7th October 2021, 04:11 PM

This is now 8 on pop radio, surely we will be getting a music video for this? i’m surprised that it’s going to re-enter top 10 eventually in the usa

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 17th October 2021, 08:02 PM

seems like this has peaked!

Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 24th October 2021, 12:36 AM

Traitor video has dropped
