Edited July 18, 20206 yr by GoodGuyGoneGhetto

I can't lie, this song is LEGENDARY.

The intro still sends me.....

 

this is literally one of her best songs ever. 

ICONIC Her best song.

Also a solo (R&B) song with that many streams, not everyone has that

Tea, and also the best song of all time

A classic!

She did THAT!

A classic

 

An urban classic

Kinda bizzarre tbh. It's a great song but it definitely didn't feel that big when it was charting.

Classic still could smash!

Well...

 

It peaked at #7 and still spent 16 weeks in the top 10. Some Girls peak at #1 and still can’t last that many weeks in the top 10. 
 

It also spent 45 weeks on the Hot 100 which some girls also can’t do. 

 

It was the YE #1 song on Urban + Rhythmic radio despite peaking at #15 on Pop too. 
 

It had massive longevity but could’ve peaked higher, had bigger streams had Rihanna filmed a more GP friendly video that YouTube didn’t restrict.

This. It would’ve 1B Spotify streams already. In a few years time; it’s gonna outstream Work and go down as the most streamed song on Anti.

 

 

The fact that’s it’s her longest charting song 

I don't know if it still is, but it was / is the most audio-streamed song in the US sung by a lead-female artist.

If you are trying to shade my faves, both have songs that spent more weeks on the Hot 100 (Just Dance - 49, Shallow - 46, Havana - 46).

 

And I wasn't even trying to be shady. For example, LOTB having 800m streams would make more sense to me 

 

At least it's a great song, so I can't be mad at the slayage.

 

Btw it will be a kii when both Needed Me and LOTB surpass Work on Spotify
