Hrs and Hrs is the 17th most played song on the radio. They play that s*** 50 times a day. Meanwhile it’s not even in the top 200 on Spotify. This is the exact same strategy the labels used when they shoved Boo’d Up down our throats
hold up boo'd up was a forced hit?
(excuse my ignorance @op I didnt pay attention to the rise of boo'd up, it just seemed to blow up out of nowhere tho)

It was actually good.

Yeah it was forced. Not as bad as this song but I think at the start it was in the top 20 for radio play without being in like the top 100 on Spotify
yooooo i just realized im out of touch...this is the first time ive heard this song its probably because i dont listen to the radio
I would say they’re still trying to find their English crossover hit artist. Regardless of how much their music is forced, American artists can’t seem to culturally relate to them. Jorja, despite looking like the mixed girl from the hood, is simply too corny by American standards. They countered this by not having Elle Mai say too much publicly but this proved challenging in the social media obsessed era.
Ama Lou seems next up and they’re taking their time with her. You wouldn’t even think twice about where’s she’s from if you went solely off her music. Her lyrics are relatable and stylish. She also doesn’t make the mistake of putting too much of her personality out there. I like this strategy a lot more.
It’s not forced at all. Black women been praising that song for months now. It’s a dope song so it deserve this push it’s getting.

Hrs and Hrs has that ‘sound’ in Muni’s singing delivery.. it’s that southern gospel bravado.. the runs, trills etc I’ve notice that outside of Black American culture white ppl and non Americans are put off by that kind of vocal showmanship. That’s why record labels force artists to limit their ‘sangin’ in order to be more palatable to the ‘dominant’ audience. That’s why traditional RnB in the same vein as a Jazmine Sullivan or a Brandy just doesn’t tranfer well to the wider GP. That’s why in many circles American RnB in its traditional form is considered ‘local’ abroad.
