Talk:My Hair

Single / promotional single status
There seems to be an issue with the release status of this song; either being a single or a promotional single. My reasoning that "My Hair" is a promotional single is that Grande has stated this herself, announcing in advance in an interview that the song would not be a single. She reiterated this on her social media after its release, explicitly stating that the song "isn't a single" when providing the reason for the lack of a music video for the song. (I provided the sources for these on the article itself). The song is also not being promoted through her website, as was the case with the album's first single and sixth studio album, "Positions". It is also not being referred to as a single by the record company itself, Warner, with its statements simply stating that it is a "release" or "title track". The only reasoning that I can see for the song being an official single is that it was serviced to radio, and publications seemingly refer to it as such. However, as per advice on WP:PROMOSINGLE, and the fact that a promotional single is defined as a song that is made available to radio stations [...] to promote a commercial single, I think that the idea that a song's airplay / service to radio makes it not a promotional single seems to be untrue.

Looks like Ariana Grande did confirm that it is not a single. I am changing my mind on this one because I was unaware of her confirming that. I have heard from multiple editors saying that WP:Promotional singles is flawed and inaccurate, so I tend not to use that. Den Zhmailik42812 (talk) 16:46, December 5, 2020 (UTC)

– First off, per WP:SONGDAB we only count songs with articles so this should be at My Hair (song). Once you've done that you might as well just make it the primary topic since there are no non-song topics to distinguish from. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:01, 6 April 2024 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.
