It's normal "Popular" did better, in the end The Weeknd has +100M monthly listeners on the platform and Sam Smith has nearly half that figure, 56M. It's still an excellent debut. About "Popular", it's up to 22.356.882 streams today. Mden, Adonna, Frank and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest entertainment industry in the world, and they can't give her some loving? So frustrating. I don't know that it has to do with her exactly. Popular has been pretty embraced in America, much more so than several of her songs. The issue is that Sam is not exactly the hit maker than Unholy made people believe that they are. Unholy was their first real success since before the pandemic (so they went a whole album cycle with little to no noise) and then the album Unholy is attached to didn't do particularly well either. Sam doesn't have a super strong audience, and Vulgar didn't catch on virally pre-release like Unholy did. The song flew way under the radar and I'll bet most people are only truly aware of Popular as between the two of them, it's the one that's getting some actual proper playlisting and social promotion. Vulgar is a non-starter. And it's probably for the better that Popular came out on top because it's a vastly superior track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If her and/or her press team want to say that there's not much no one can do about it - except for being corrected on social media, etc. It happened with TLC too. For YEARS all their official bios bragged about them being the biggest selling female group ever, period. And that's not true. They were the biggest selling female group IN the US. Worldwide it was the Spice Girls, of course. Now TLC say it like it is: "we were the biggest selling female group in this country", bla, bla, but it took them years. In the end it's all hype, so who cares. PlayPause, Andreo and Blue Prince 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure about Unholy pre release but I don’t see how Vulgar would have gone viral prerelease. They released a few snippets a week before. That’s hardly any time for people to include the song in their TikTok’s or YouTube videos… Popular is different because it’s The Weeknd and also because it’s connected to a major HBO show that had millions invested in marketing pre release. The only issue I see with Vulgar is that both Madonna and Sam are visual artists and this song desperately needs a video. I think that would make it an instant hit.

Agreed, but I would add that Vulgar isn't a song that I feel the General public would latch onto as they would Popular. The latter is more radio friendly and the Weeknd just reaches more people and platforms. I totally agree an official music video should be made for Vulgar. Not sure why they didn't do one, unless they were gauging to see how well it does, before putting more money into it. However, both are busy with their tours now, so it probably won't happen.
