yeah as I said she's wasting the hype on the mid song so of course it will just continue to drop. Idk why her team think this one is good enough for a come back material

Because this one serves a very specific purpose. It's not the lead single of her next album.

I know, but it's the comeback single nevertheless, any good material from Rih would smash immediately out of the gate so I don't understand their decision

Comeback or not it's for a very specific reason. 

 

And let's be honest. It's not that a bop-Rihanna lead single would have smashed immediately. Yea ok it's her big comeback after 7 years but we can't expect her to pull the opening numbers Adele did. I don't think that a bop-Rihanna song would have pulled more than 10mill debut streams and it will probably won't happen when her lead drops regardless the song. She was never the "instant-smash" artist. Her hits take time to grow.

This is bombing in real time just like Keeps Getting Better and Run The World did, every minute you pressed refresh the song plummeted more and more.

Lift Me Up isn't doing well on streaming. Rihanna's almost 15-year-old song, Disturbia, has almost caught up to LMU on US Spotify:

 

30 (-10) Rihanna - Lift Me Up (778,105 streams)

31 (+30) Rihanna - Disturbia (772,629 streams)

 I still don't get why this doing so good on itunes.

#1 Pandora, #1 Youtube (on Sunday. Always 2 days behind), #1 iTunes, still getting massive radio gains

 

#30 US Spotify (-10), #27 US Apple Music (-13) (some Halloween songs above)

 

It's really all over the place

It must be the older listeners purchasing it who listen to AC, HAC, Urban AC radio where it’s currently doing extremely well.

The problem here for me is that lyrically it's quite bland and basic. For such a subdued song, it needed to actually be poetic and beautiful.

omg cancel it
