I love her but you can't just listen to the song more than once, it's not that emotional and nothing happens in it. Her ballads are way better often.

omrimayo Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 The thing is I really believe the instrumental version will dip way more than 50%.

As for the others hiding behind Taylor that's even more embarrassing for them considering they can never escape the absolute decay of their faves music career

So yes, a 50% drop. 1 hour ago, popmusic said: Today main version should get 4.5m - 4.7m No they were really clear on the number of version(s) as stated. So no, not 50% off of the prediction.

Context matters It is a soundtrack song. Do you really think LMU will outdo the lead for her album on streaming? Be serious Taylor's released multiple bombs between Folklore and Midnights and that didn't stop Midnights from doing well. The numbers for a song like this is impressive regardless. No other pop girl could pull these numbers with such a snooze and that's the truth. It's doing what it's supposed to. And anybody who seriously thought this was gonna pull unheard of numbers were acting in bad faith anyway.

Being seated in top 3 of all sales & streaming services is amazing. Don’t count it out.

So now it's changed and the hype was intact? And a soundtrack predicted to debut in the top ten, possibly in the top three, is one that's done very well. Especially considering its sound and purpose. It's not like there's lots of songs that sound like that doing well on the charts so yes, it is doing well.

Mind you it's Rihanna's first song in 6-7 years and is being promoted as such You can’t be f*cking serious? Prior to “EOM”, the record for a first day debut by a female artist was 8M+. Then came “EOM” and then “A-H” last week (excluding Grande, Lee, Carey’s Xmas songs). If this were released at any other point before this month, it would sit in the top three of biggest female debuts (in combined numbers) with only one being a OST single and being in company with your faves other lead singles such as “LWYMMD” and “ME”. Before “Midnights”, your fave released multiple BOMBS and that still didn’t stop “Midnights” from doing amazingly in streaming. Are you going to sit here and tell me that this tribute OST single is the ceiling for an artist like Rihanna when she comes back kicking with an R9 release date. It’s amazing you had so much to defend when this forum was dragging songs like “Cardigan” and “Willow” for dear life (despite going #1), even RedTV, but here you are doing the same sh*t.

Let alone those songs: take Beautiful Ghosts, which like Lift Me Up, was also a song literally tailored to tell part of a story in a movie and is probably Taylor's biggest flop and flopped to oblivion and back. But if anyone were to claim that it was Taylor's comeback after her Lover era they'd see the folly in such argument but because it's Rihanna reason was thrown out of the window and a song that's clearly meant to pray tribute more than anything else is suddenly meant to smash on everything the minute it was released

RihFenty20 Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 The losers in here. I'm going to start ignoring some of them so I don't have to see their posts. Watch when this slowly raises and becomes a sleeper hit

Don't know what you mean by "bombs" but please tell me you're not trying to compare a random OST droplet like 'Carolina' which was for an indie movie, had zero playlisting, wasn't sent to radio and didn't have a music video with Rihanna's first song in 6-7 years, which has the biggest radio deal of the year, more first-day playlisting than EOM, Anti-Hero and As It Was AND a music video Like be serious 20 minutes ago, GoodGuyGoneGhetto said: Are you going to sit here and tell me that this tribute OST single is the ceiling for an artist like Rihanna when she comes back kicking with an R9 release date. That's not what I'm saying. I pray for her it's the floor and NOT the ceiling cause chile if that's the best she can do after years of people anticipating her comeback . Side note but I love how y'all try to use the fact that it's a tribute song as an excuse that is somehow supposed to justify it having somewhat underwhelming numbers. As if a song being a tribute hasn't historically being beneficial (see See You Again and Candle In The Wind for instance). 11 minutes ago, GoodGuyGoneGhetto said: It’s amazing you had so much to defend when this forum was dragging songs like “Cardigan” and “Willow” for dear life (despite going #1), even RedTV, but here you are doing the same sh*t. Those were instantly released alongside albums which SMASHED HARD and took attention away from the actual singles. Releasing singles as standalones always means more streams for that particular song than if they were released alongside the actual album. That's partly why EOM and As It Was had such huge debuts. There's no way they would've done just as much if they were released alongside 14 other tracks. That's also why ME! and LWYMMD had bigger debuts that cardigan and willow. I truly do not see the correlation between that situation and Rihanna's song, which - I cannot stress this enough - was massively hyped as it is her first standalone song in YEARS and is being promoted to an insane degree. Those 2 situations simply cannot be compared and to pretend they can is weird given the totally different contexts
