Why did the BBHMM video flop?

Recommended Posts

well like G.U.Y, if ya'll would stop dragging it, it was released randomly decades after the first single (AO was basically non-existent) and far away from any promotion the song had. 

 

Rihanna got a 1 week buzz and then people moved on because it's an old song. Had it been released months earlier, she could've smashed and done something with this era.

 

But I have hope for the music that's coming.

it may not have smashed but she got ha critical acclaim for it, and it's still considered one of the best videos of her career. Not very unlike how "Dirrty" flopped as a single but it still had a lasting impact and has acclaim.

Dirrty was top 5 in almost every single country outside of the US, not a flop xtina1

It's not like promo would help AO2 that much moo1

 

I think that AO2 could have been a BBHMM-sized chart success if its promotion hadn't been so messy. I love the song & the video and I'm not even American.

That's why it's a flop. Despite the media coverage it's barely pulling in streams. 

Are you serious? How is it supposed to get a lot of views if it's age restricted? I does not take rocket science to figure that out.. This forum I swear.

Lmao you're acting like the sub-18 demographic is responsible for 80% of Youtube traffic. Take a look smartass:

That leaves 18.7 million for the 0-18 demographic, or 14.5% of the total.

Yeah but obviously people without an account can't watch the video either and those people bring in the most views.

Ah of course.. would be interesting to know how traffic splits up into registered / unregistered. 

 

I think one of the main reasons for its poor views is also that because of its age restriction it never appears in the recommended videos on the side.
