Ke$ha's 'Die Young' takes steep drop on radio after Newtown
by Ray Rahman


After the massacre in Newtown, Conn., last Friday, some radio stations across the country have pulled Ke$ha’s “Die Young” single from rotation, TMZ reports.

The Warrior song was the No. 3 single on the Billboard Hot 100 at the time of the tragic shooting, but it looks like the track is now plummeting from the charts. On Saturday, TMZ reports, airplay had dropped by 3 million listeners, and by Monday, that figure had fallen even further to about 148 million listeners — a 19 million drop from before the tragedy.

The last time a song or artist dropped this steeply? When the Dixie Chicks got themselves banned from country radio for dissing President Bush.

“I understand,” Ke$ha wrote. “I had my very own issue with ‘die young’ for this reason. I did NOT want to sing those lyrics and I was FORCED TO.” She added, “I'm so so so sorry for anyone who has been effected by this tragedy and I understand why my song is now inappropriate. words cannot express.”

Did she really say that? It seems really odd that she would throw her mentor (and the person she owes all of her success to, let's be honest) under the bus.

It's a quote from HollywoodReporter. It's really emberessing. How could someone FORCE her to sing a song she hated.

I'm sure she won't be complaining when the royalty cheque arrives.

She made these comments because she's a stupid bitch that doesn't know how to handle controversy and being used as a scapegoat.

Ke$ha's debut album is my jam though. So good.

I have a lot of sympathy for Ke$ha for some reason. Maybe because she reminds me of Britney a little.

If you look at Britney's interviews from around 2004, she's actually really sharp.

My point was that both are very simple. They make good music and don't brag about it (see Xtina) or make philosophy out of it (see Lady Gaga). None of them are afraid to be weird and take risks (see Taylor Swift). They're just two girls with average yet instantly recognizable voices and signature tunes.

Yes, she doesn't have a voice but I loved all her recent performances. There's something about her, I can see why she's as popular as she is...

With beyond MASSIVE singles and a re-release. Teenage Dream sold 2.5 million with 7 #1's. Is that a success too?

TMZ reports Ke$sha told New York radio station 95.5 WPLJ in November: 'I definitely make sure that every word rings true to me because I would never want to misrepresent myself to millions of people around the world ... I wrote and wrote and rewrote that song ten times.'
