i mean if they gonna payola it better see it through @disney @westbury road

im expecting checks to fly over the weekend at the clerbs while dstm playing in the background as they do the handshakes

[Perseus7]

atrl boutta have a field day with this one 

 

I think that if the song is indeed tied intricately to a very emotional and impactful scene in the movie, as those at the premier were saying, I think it could have success a la Running Up That Hill in Stranger Things.

 

Obviously it's not as much of a bop as that song, so I don't think it would be as big or long lasting, but for the first couple weeks of release, I can see it bouncing back up on streaming. And given the fact that radio seems to be behind it 100%, I feel like it'll stay near the top of the charts for the rest of the year. 

 

Just my hot take

I truly don't care if this even goes number one and I don't care for the drags anymore. Genuinely shocked at the effort that went into this song though I literally can't remember the last time she/they did all this

I really do think it's Disney and their desperation for an Oscar for Black Panther 2 behind this, but if it works and she gets an Oscar/she learns from their tactics and promotes R9 this much, it's a win

Right like, at least they’re doing all the right things. A top 3 is way more than fine for me for this song.

[Cheers]

It’s very obvious Disney is behind the promo. More videos than the ANTI era  

[RihRihGirrrl]

The roll out is perfect but let's be real...ima need her to give us a much better budget for the the R9 videos and also a couple of performances

I don't think she's performing any R9 songs at the SB.....my bet is the album comes after

Agreed tbh.

[Devin]

Yeah I doubt she will perform anything R9 related.

It’s been truly entertaining. Even if parts of it are a little clumsy EVERYONE wants to discuss it/try to drag.  The relevance

[kandicha]

tbh i do not care who gets #1 i just wanted a cute top 10 but this has been one of the funniest chart battles i've seen on this site in a while! every time i log in there's more entertaining tactics to discuss and another entertaining argument to browse 

 

never saw this before from rihanna which makes it even funnier

[DonDesperado]

They really want the number 1# too. The amount of 2# that she didn't try anything. And the LOTB thing. She looks so beautiful in the BTS.

I agree  I’ve kinda been living for it. You just know Rih has no idea any of this is going on.

I think they are tired of being dragged for similar levels of promo all the time. But this is a 7 year comeback for a major moment in a major film, not a song about being villainized by the media or whatever for the 8th time.  

[RockStarShit101]

the last time i cared about rih getting blocked by someone was in 2010 when loud missed #1 because of Susan Boyle and that little girl from AGT 

since then, i couldn't care less about who's blocking who.

Yeah this song already got more videos than the entire Anti era so there's no way this was just Rih's doing

I was hoping for a top ten and so the song getting blocked from the number one spot won't be bad at all.
