You are wrong...

 

I posted that prediction from last week with the percentages for sales, radio and streaming for every song. 

 

And yeah obviously a 200% increase in radio had a bigger impact on Cuff It than a 12% increase in streaming 

How is that a good example 

Overall and on average streaming is still twice as important as radio

 

 

Changing sales obviously impacts both streaming and radio weight equally.... Not that is matters much as sales are completely dead

 

 

And the change to Mediabase hasnt happened yet. We will see when it does how it impacts the numbers

Changing sales might impact both streaming and radio, but clearly one has more weight than the other. And it’s not a good example? Ok. In that same prediction chart, look at numbers 4-6. Tell me which metric is making #4 be higher than #5 and #5 be higher than #6 even though the sales and streams for #6 were higher than both #4 and #5. I’ll wait.

I dont see her doing many cities 

 

She barely wants to tour ?

I agree 

[Mr. Specialist]

 

 

Literally every reliable chart prediction page is saying there’s going to be a battle for #1 next week based on early metrics with radio airplay being the most significant. The fact that some Taylor stans don’t believe there is competition makes me chuckle.

she won't debut #1, numbers speak themselves.

Hope she takes that number 1! While I like Taylor, I don’t get the hype. How is the moving so many albums?! Does she simply have more distributors?

I hope Rihanna gets petty and releases an A Capella version and an Extended version.

People who have been Navy from day one know her hits don't work like the other pop girls 

There's no first huge first week numbers from the fan base or even promo from Rih. Everything is organic

People talking about first week numbers earlier this week made no sense to me as a navy member. First week won't matter this will get even bigger with the movie

 

Not saying this will be a hit, cause I don’t think it will be unless it pulls a Shallow with the movie moment it’s in, but this. 
 

I remember people dragging Diamonds cause it debuted behind Die Young, only for Diamonds to end up blocking DY at #2  

 

Rih has never debuted big but her hits always ended up getting steam and being propelled naturally. The Navy never did any strange shenanigans to get things to #1. Rih just always ended up winning in the end with organic demand, we’ll see if this song ends up being that.

The YouTube views have slowed down significantly.

 

Assume Spotify will follow suit ?

The song has grown on me quite a bit, although the vocal struggles past ~2:30 mark kinda ruin it

[Kool_Aid_King]

Numbers are gonna drop today and then tomorrow, Radio needs to keep it afloat.

 

I was driving to Canada yesterday and heard the song 6 times on 6 different radio stations, some pop, some rhythmic, some urban. They're all hailing it as a grand return.

Right — it’s funny to see everyone be so polarized in stan world when to the GP it’s clearly not having that effect.

This is a terrible song. Badly sung and just a pain. i gave it a quarter listen on Spotify and could not make it past that quarter mark. 6 years and i've moved on to Dua and Ava...

[Blackout2006]

The song is actually so beautiful, ethereal and mesmerizing. I’m not even exaggerating as a stan, but her vocals are so rich and beautiful throughout the track and the production is like an evolved sound of ANTi. It’s actually such a good song. I don’t understand the lukewarm reception to it by fans.
