What’s with the “Damage” obsession, Sis! 
 

 

Anyway…

 

”Damage” is already a classic.

Damage is better in sales and AM, but Wild Side is doing better on Spotify and a lil more YouTube views. 

I say considering both metrics about equal but Damage has a smaller edge

They're both doing similar daily on YT now, Wild Side dropped a lot

 

Kworb still hasnt made a page for H.E.R so no concrete numbers to compare in that regard. And the Youtube chart page doesnt have one for Normani(where H.E.R is)

[BeyIridescent]

let’s also consider the fact that HER is shoved down our throats…industry puppet…with 30k sales for her debut. Mani will double those numbers at least

[Can]

Wait, nevermind I guess you can. You just have to divide

Past 7 Days 

Damage - 1.41 Million (200k daily, I think this is combined with the audio video) 

 

Kworb Yesterday

- Wild Side 154k

yeah as they always do

but I dont wanna compare two songs I love so much from two queens. 

 

Damage is currently bigger but I think Wild Side might have more longevity idk.

They should be filtered?

 

But yeah, they must be combining Damage's music video with the audio one. The music video hasnt been above 200k daily for a while, it has around a 160k daily average the past month anyway.

It spent 40 weeks top 10 on the (combined with Urban AC) R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart.

 

It was also got #1 on 2021 R&B/Hip Hop Airplay Year End somehow. I thought it'd be #2 behind LTDO

The fact that Wild Side was a decent hit makes Normani's situation all the more bizarre. Where is the music??

She should have released it a year ago, now she's in the studio scrambling for yet another hit
