DonDesperado Posted November 5, 2022 Posted November 5, 2022 Billboard with a different sales number now its so strange. They played with the navy. They say that numbers and the navy think it has possibilities of an 1# debut and spend money buying the song in all the versions when they could wait till the movie drop and get her highest peak on airplay. And always Rihanna should have weak debut and then go up. Also the Rihanna team thought this has possibilities and make the videos for YouTube. Personally I still playing the song, and still love the song. Now I love more the song.

Like fav like stan, I guess. OT: Now that she’s been dragged all week she really should consider launching another single for SBHT, tbh. She’s in a good position here still because anything she puts out next is likely to be enjoyed more by literally everyone.

Might've been a mistake on Billboard's end, or maybe Rih's team did report incorrect sales (which would be kinda wild but who knows). It's a mess either way. But i don't think Billboard was acting out of malice lol, why would they.
By the Water Posted November 5, 2022 Posted November 5, 2022 You could tell from the first listen that this was a waste of hype. Can't believe it's taken this long for people to accept that. Soundtrack or not, the whole "Rihanna's first release in 6 years" thing is gone now. That won't stop her lead single from smashing but it's a missed opportunity to put that hype to good use

She’s gunning for a culture moment with a film that comes out next week, we still have absolutely no idea the role the song plays in the film. On top of that she is an immediate Oscar front runner now which is a big deal, even if most people don’t care about that kind of thing. I also see this moment as a rebrand for her as a new mother. It’s also important to remember that she is a very GLOBAL artist — songs like this are effective on a global stage. We’re just going to have to wait and see how it all plays out because her music has always played the long game — she’s never debuted at the top, and often her comeback songs are met with a lot of criticism and polarity.
ImsoLOUD Posted November 5, 2022 Posted November 5, 2022 38 minutes ago, collin said: I’m saying. I have never once entered one of her threads. The fixation seems a little bizarre. OT: Where is Born Again. Absolutely. The attempts to gaslight and manipulate by them should be studied. Only fan base I’ve seen blatantly provoke others, deflect 24/7and then circlejerk eachother/call anyone who calls them out “obsessed and delusional”…. While being in a thread about another artist and contributing zero to the musical discussion Their girl has an entire ongoing case right now for being a thief and yet they are worried about Lift Me Up. They are 1 trillion percent insecure and threatened. But if it took my fav 5 years to get another multi week #1 single I may have been pressed myself.
Rico Shameless v2 Posted November 5, 2022 Posted November 5, 2022 Rihanna knows nobody wanted this. Waiting for the comeback single January 6th.

No, I wouldn't. Hope this helps

And with proper planning they could have done all of this while still having a lead single out before this soundtrack came out

But then again they could’ve done with a better song
RihRihGirrrl Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 Billboard is a mess.....and correct if I'm wrong but website purchases weren't available in the first 3 days so her tram would not have been responsible for any reported sales? The first 3 days sales were only available on ITunes thus wouldn't ITunes be responsible for reporting the numbers?
rp662 Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 We don’t know the timeline of events. What we do know is that she WASN’T going to give up her first months as a mom and work on an album/first single. The Navy was clearly prepared for an album late next year at best. Marvel and the Super Bowl appear to be last minute gigs and are probably forcing her to rush/complete R9. Like, what is not clicking?

She has 3/4 of the album ready now, maybe even closer to 90%, because we do know she’s been working on it here and there since 2017. When she said it was coming out in 2019, I’m guessing she has the material but it got pushed back and then the pandemic hit and pushed it back even more. It’s probably giving Anti where she sat on the bulk of the track list for years and recorded ~5 songs in the 6 months leading up to the album release incl. the lead single.
Green Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 She will be fine The dramatics. This is her "Be Alive" but with a top 2 peak And she could get an Oscar nomination at least
Harry Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 billboard confirmed the sales were very much lower the swifties can exit the Base now I guess the #1 is taylor's she's won good4ha

Cloröx Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 5 hours ago, rihannafan said: How is that the bare minimum? Lmao. A limited time single. But yes, Rihanna was trying to get herself a #1, Taylor was actively trying to sabotage someone else's placement. There's a big difference. Taylor stans should be the very last ones talking about organic #1s considering so many of her #1s are basically forgotten songs that were there for 1 week. You must be joking right? If anything LMU is the undeserved one, not because it's a bad song but simply all those radio payola and fake sales

Please reread my posts next time before making me explain myself.
