charts discussion 'Lift Me Up' debuts #3 WW with +7.6M, +9M combined

[Erreur2 La Nature]

I was expecting a much bigger debut for Rih’s comeback but there’s no point in pretending this is bad. 7.6M is a huge debut and between the streams and the radio, the song is definitely debuting at #1-#2 at the worst. 

[Lein]

biggest instrumental debut of all time

 

[wantedyoutogrow]

biggest debut for a soundtrack and an instrumental (i'm assuming) 

[vasymollo]

i gave it a listen and it's a beautiful song. this is all a good prelude to her real comeback which i'm sure will smash even harder. 

[hallucinate]

yassss

[Proseductice]

but why are people acting like these numbers are awful idgi?

[Ampersand13]

YES! Way to go Rih! These are fantastic numbers! 

[Harry]

the instrumental is top notch elevator music yall missing out

[Icarus]

Rihanna’s comeback debuting below a Taylor Swift single… wasn’t on my 2022 bingo card

[Same Ol' Mistakes]

Not people acting like those are bad numbers  if it was like Olivia Rodrigo everyone would have praised them

the number itself is not awful but the expectations were really high since this is her first song after almost 7 yrs plus she failed to pass taylor too

[Machete]

Taylor still beating her combined 

[FameFatale]

I honestly liked the instrumental more than the song. It’s like a calming vibe to it. I think I played it more than the actual song.   it was beautiful. 

[I. AX]

Her uptempo lead will demolish next year 

 

Fantastic numbers for what it is 

[Rihannito]

So it’s 8x more streams than lady gaga’s shallow? I thought Rihanna would do way less taking into account how HUGE gaga is.

The whole dysphoria you express on every single thread related to this release is remarkable! 

 

 

[Ratviolo]

Amazing numbers

[DanyelP23]

I think these are good numbers. Yes, it's like her first song in a few years, and yes, it is for the soundtrack of a huge MCU property in the wake of that movie's lead actor tragically passing away, but at the same time it is still a ballad and still a soundtrack song.

I think her real single can do something like 15M-20M on Spotify and 5-7M in US when she decides to drop it.

[Lose My Breath]

What a stomp

 

 

[Mr. Stratus]

This is very good for an OST and a ballad always has longevity vs. debut as they’re more GP consumed

 

i honestly love this song and it’ll be a smash in France/Switzerland (where the other Oscar buzz ballad HMH was strong)

She barely announced the single 2 days before the release

It's Taylor, no reason to discount how huge of a debut LMU had

I don't think these numbers are enough for a #1 despite of the massive airplay and the #1 on Apple Music.

 

It needed it to be higher than Anti-hero on spotify too. So I'm thinking it will debut at #2

 

Funny because it she had released during any of those weeks when Harry was #1 with those weak points she would have easily been #1, but now she's facing Anti-hero which it's massive right now

Anti-hero is massive? u got to be kidding
1 - 38 next week
