Jennifer Lopez’s Comeback Single “Can’t Get Enough” Fails to Launch, Stalls at Number 22 on iTunes

Share

Jennifer Lopez’s fans have gotten enough.

After a big premiere on Wednesday, Lopez’s “Can’t Get Enough” has stalled on the iTunes charts at number 22.

At the same time, Ariana Grande’s “Yes, and?” hit number 1 out of the box and has remained there since yesterday morning. Of course, Grande is half Lopez’s age and her fans are motivated and paying attention to releases.

Lopez was banking on a hit to help launch her new album, coming next month, called “This is Me… Now.”

The video that accompanies the new song is fun but maybe doesn’t help Lopez’s image. It centers on a wedding. She’s in the dress, etc. It’s her umpteenth video or movie involving that theme, which may be a tad too much at this point.

“Can’t Get Enough” is a hybrid single, made of musical particle board — ten songwriters are listed and is built on two samples of obscure old songs. Conversely, the Ariana Grande song is new, written by hit maker Max Martin and his team.
