TopDawg14 Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I think this may be a case where Switch is playing well overseas but not as well in the U.S. Here in Chicago I have heard Switch on the radio just twice. I'll admit that I don't listen to radio a lot but when I do listen all I hear is 50 Cent, G-Unit and Em. There are 2 "hip-hop/R&B" stations and neither one has played Switch yet. The only place I've heard Switch is on the "pop" station. I've only seen the video 3 times(twice when he premiered it on MTV & BET). It may end up being a case where it starts out real slow but picks up steam all of a sudden. That's how Big Willie Style started. It premiered at 98 on the Billboard Charts and then slipped to 104 the next week. All of sudden Gettin' Jiggy Wit It took off and BWS became a monster. I'm hoping Lost & Found will follow that script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiss are giving Will loadsa love playing the vid and then playing classic vids on Will Smith half hour shows. They also upped Gettin Jiggy Wit It to the proper playlist to.

*mimi* Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 ok people...what about the US? Where Will is from and where his success really counts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 i can definatly see it picking up speed more and more, i havnt really been watching the music channels as much recently, but i hear it all the time on kiss radio. And after Will made the news with the record breaking premiers they mention switch quite a lot. Im so glad is doing quite well tho, i always knew Will could do it!!

Admin Hero1 Posted February 23, 2005 Author Admin Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 ok people...what about the US? Where Will is from and where his success really counts?? im not sure "it really counts" wills success is always gonna be bigger worldwide..because the US doesnt seem to respect Will these days..that being said i still think switch is doing well on mainstream pop radio over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
