So now her label is purchasing the song?

 

 

 

of course it happens.  You think not a single person at the entire label purchased the song?  I personally know stuff like this happened with Katy during Prism.

the mess in here already

As long as sales continue to count towards the Hot 100, these shenanigans will continue to happen. Last week, it was the irrational behavior of Swifties and Arianators. This week, it's the LMU debacle. It's very easy to manipulate sales. It only takes quite a few thousand sales to alter chart positions.

What are you talking about?  

 

And if people buy a song, of course it should count  

[AlexStexaul]

imagine believing someone would bother to go rihanna website to buy her single 

her label buying it to make it look like her return to music wasnt underwelming numbers.

Hold My Bomb couldn’t even get Gag’s label staff buy it, worry about that.

[dooart]

get that #1 rihrih 

[DonDesperado]

Apple first day, Spotify first day and pandora/YouTube could help for the points

 

[jezebelvictoria]

Just hoping for that #1. She's so close to the record.

Rihanna? Desperate? She posted the MV link 5 days ago and dipped. Also, how are those sales fraudulent if BB reports them? Those are actual official numbers. Or is the whole BB chart system fraudulent then?

the thing is that this song still has almost 0 chance at #1 unless something extremely crazy happens behind the scenes…like they would have to be really shameless about it

I'm gonna need you to post the recepits proving that these sales are fraudulent, given you're so confident about it. I'll be waiting.

Have you not seen the predictions? It's only a few points away from #1. 

[Trainwreck]

 if Anti-Hero manages to stay at #1 the ORHs will have a field day and if LMU reaches the top spot then the Navy will be insufferable . Whatever happens next Monday, the servers will COLLAPSE  so It's gonna be a very interesting week, let the hunger games begin

The meltdowns in here when the song hasn't even went #1 yet 

[Legacy]

she really wasted her comeback single on this song

[Isaiah]

It hasn’t even been a full week and the song is already OUT of the Apple Music & Spotify top 30, so this debuting at #1 would really highlight how broken the weighting of sales on the h100 is  the fact that just a few thousand fans can shoot you to #1 now is soooo…

i mean taylor literally outstreamed it for whole week.

 

just looking at today’s numbers

taylor above rih by 2M streams difference on spotify

tay 2.7M

rih 700k

+ 

taylor #1 on apple music 

rih #31 

 

imagine believing rihanna would go #1 without any label dirty games behind the scene.

there wasnt a single day rihanna outstreamed taylor 

 

imagine believing that half a day at #1 on AM US is enough to make rih #1 on hot100

why should a $1.29 sale consumer engagement weigh less than a free stream?

[Capruni]

Can’t believe my gurl is about to snatch her 15 #1 single! Hope navy make sure it’ll happen!

[Shendelzare]

oh this will be a mess, 
purses will be opened from both bases

The song didn't do that well on iTunes, tho. Is it on her web store or something?

Didn’t do well than Anti Hero on Streaming Service too. 

but suddenly the point roses
