The email which has “IMPACTING IMMEDIATELY” in the title suggests that radio shows should be playing the song immediately following its release.
This isn’t a sure thing as radio shows don’t have to follow promoter’s suggestions but many ARMYs think that because of the popularity of Halsey among Western listeners, the song is almost guaranteed to get widespread radio play.
