The video's boring as ****. Also when exactly did she delete all her Twitter follows? Idk that kinda rubs me the wrong way.

I disagree. I know she's a part of Max's team, but I think she'll continue using the Wolf Cousins only along with other producers. I don't think her and Max would mesh well on her own work.

New song. :heart: How do you mean?

Right, but I'm talking about replacing the F*** with something else like in Talking Body's clean love edit. To me a clean edit is re-recording a song with different lyrics. I should have clarified that. She would allow the bleeping out, but not re-record it replacing words with others.

I think Moments would be an incredibly powerful single, but there's an issue. She said in a recent interview that while she thinks censoring is dumb she usually doesn't have a problem recording a clean edit, but with Moments she refuses to do so. I don't know how it works elsewhere, but in the US there are 2 kinds of radio stations - the kind that just bleeps the"offensive" words (thus keeping the song intact and as close to the original) and the kind that play clean edits. She'd lose a large chuck of audience. I think that song is that special one from her, because it's the only one that she wrote completely by herself. It means she hammered out the melody and lyrics and I suspect she didn't want anyone else touching it. It's understandable why she's so protective over it.

I think it would be 2300 your time on Wednesday if you streamed it live, Kath. :yahoo: Thank you radio. Slay Tove!!

It will most likely be uploaded to her YouTube channel ( /user/TheEllenShow/videos ). I found a streaming link, but will have no idea if it works until Monday. I should be able to upload it though if need be.

So apparently radio is all messed up again. There were station changes and almost all the songs got negative audience scores across different formats. The plus side is her spins on pop are good and if she can keep them like this or better and the song above it keeps the same spin loss as reported today, she could enter the top 10 tomorrow. *fingers crossed* It's going to happen any day now.

Dropped from her label?? Why would she get dropped from her label? :huh: That doesn't even make sense. She's doing very well for a new artist. Her label would have to be morons. The thing about Tove is, she has serious connections with some of the biggest Swedish names in pop music. She's not some nobody off the street. She's a part of the Wolf Cousins, a collective put together and headed by Max Martin and Shellback. That's about as upper echelon as you can get in pop music. She's not going anywhere. You don't think that with her success and connections that she couldn't find somewhere else to go if she had to? Besides, the music industry is changing. She could go back to being an independent artist and self-release her own material and because she does so well streaming, she could make more money than she does now. Even more if she created her own publishing company.

Eh, if Fifth Harmony, whoever they are, can perform at the BBMA then Tove should have been able to as well. The problem lies with the fact that Hangout Fest got to her 1st. She committed to do that back in Feb. They kind of got to her in a moment of weakness when she was climbing the walls and stuck in Sthlm after her surgery. (Those sneaky people enticed her with a picture of a beach. :lol: ) And she seems like the kind of person who is true to her word and when she says something she sticks to it, which is very admirable. She's performing at 1430-1530 Central time on Sunday and the BBMA start at 1700 Pacific time. I looked it up, she couldn't make it back to Las Vegas even if she tried. I originally thought that maybe she could make it and just show up really late, but it's impossible. It just wasn't meant to be. :cry:

Idk what radio's problem is, but it's a decent update. She's set to perform on Ellen on the 20th of May. I guess it's something.

Now #15 on Billboard! :yahoo: :cheer: :w00t: These last 2 day updates on pop radio have been fantastic. :w00t: Sugar is falling right above her, but Hey Mama and You Know You Like It are hot on her heels. She needs bigger spin and audience increases. Come on radio, please don't f this up. Regardless of what happens, I'm really proud of her. She's done it all on her own. She did it the hard way and I have nothing but complete and total respect for her. :heart: Now off to request it.

I cannot believe people are still buying "Uptown Funk." Why is that still happening? She really needs a big push. One flawless live performance here in the states on The Voice. She could possibly do the Billboard Awards, but that would be some major maneuvering and probably a really bad idea. I'm dying here because there's soooo much potential there with her. Also, a lot of her problems could be minimized with a better team, one that can streamline things and promote her better. It all seems like a mishmash of things going on. She's here, she's there, but it doesn't seem to be well thought out and planned properly. Also, she needs to be better at promoting herself. She'll do a radio interview or something and you don't even know about it if it weren't for the radio station/DJ or whomever tweeting about it. I don't know what I'm trying to say, I just have feelings right now.

American radio is a complete mess, but it feels really good to keep seeing these positive updates and her climbing on the different formats. If only she had the video views to help propel it. :( It would've made things so much easier. I do hope radio will be far more supportive from the get-go with her 3rd single, whatever it may be. I'm kinda hoping she'll change her mind still. I listened to "Timebomb" in the car the other day and I just couldn't blast it. I do like the song and it's definitely different from anything on the radio, but I think "Got Love" or "Not on Drugs" might be more "summer feel-good, listen with the windows down on a car trip" kind of songs. On the other hand, she's made good choices so far, so maybe I just need to trust her judgement on this. If she does go with "Timebomb" I hope the video they shot is better and more accessible.

I've been really disappointed in her live performances since her vocal cord surgery. It's really hit and miss and more so miss these days. There's been few standouts, but the rest are weak and filled with bum notes. She was so good before and now... :cry: I don't know what happened. Maybe she came back too early.
