Ke$ha's "Die Young" Pulled From Radio, Sinks on Charts

Ke$ha's "Die Young" Pulled From Radio, Sinks on Charts

Keenan Higgins Posted December 18, 2012

Ke$ha’s latest pop hit is getting the silent treatment following the massacre in Newtown, CT, last Friday.

According to TMZ, "Die Young" was sitting pretty at #3 on the radio playlists on Friday, the day of the tragic shooting, where it reached 167 million listeners nationwide. By Saturday, the day after the shooting, airplay dropped by 3 million listeners. By the time the new week came in, the pop smash dropped down to 148 million listeners—a 19 million drop from it's previous potation.

Are radio DJs justified for pulling the song, due to its easily misinterpreted song title? Listen below, and let us know your opinions.
