If rihanna cared about charts like that why wouldn't she release a commercial song? Not every artist is chart obsessed like other faves

I am screaming @ all this being in the same post

a quick search would show you that the videos have 41m views worldwide on youtube. plus she is #1 on pandora and had a big first day on apple music. Do you I really need to spoonfeed you this and hold your hand through it?

pandora aint that big trust me, most likely did barely 1M there. 

 

she was almost only half a day #1 on apple music and anti hero stayed there thru whole week. 

 

not even talking about the complate takeover on spotify.

there is no way a streaming numbers like this on spotify and apple muisc add up to 27.5M overall streams. 

 

stop trying to rewrite the histroy, everyone less or more knows how the charts work.

Except for you apparently 

[rp662]

The random ORH meltdowns. 

 

What promotion? Aside from release date and the 2 cent lyric videos, Rihanna is nowhere to be seen. The amount of fake news the ORH have to go through to cope.

Spotify has the most users among digital audio platforms, followed by Pandora, Amazon Music, and Apple Music. Amazon will surpass Pandora in listeners next year.

She's 1 on Pandora + 13 on Amazon

If this boring ass song becomes her 15th #1 it'll be the funniest chart moment of the year for me. Only Rihanna can drop a dud like this and make it smash the Hot 100.

I was told countless times that a #1 debut doesnt mean smash

[foreverwinter13]

Where is Elvira when you need her? I need Taylor to release the anti hero (superhero remix) so she can block this on lock. I want a multiweek no. 1 again 

[PopFan1996]

Y'all confused for no reason lmao

Sure that BTS song was #1 and blocked LMU but we know billboard filters bulk-buying so it's no surprise that the real #1 was Lift Me Up actually because it's sales were real and coming from the GP and not from just a fanbase mass-buying. 

Y'all are pressed that she is actually doing numbers

This is an exciting chart battle. The most exciting chart battle since Ariana vs 6ix9ine.

Let's break this down for you shall we? 

-Kworb has Youtube US streams at 8M so far and most likely will end with easily 12M.
-It did 5,5M on Spotify so far. ( confirmed)
-It did much better on AM than on Spotify so it's probably at around 7M. (basically confirmed)
-The remaining two days from Spotify and AM will easily generate around 3M streams. 

These confirmed numbers alone put it at 27,5M without counting Amazon Music, Pandora and other streaming platforms..

28M and even more seems very logical and even lowballing a little bit. I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up doing over 30M US streams.

rih is employing the same tactics as taylor does but she will never get as much flack (there are 7 different versions of LMU on yt + the single was released with an attached instrumental). i love both women but it's kinda funny that this potential #1 is seen as a huge win but taylor's willow/cardigan is labelled as fraudulent by atrl. anyways.

The fumes in here sksksks

There are dozens of users calling this a fraud.  I do think calling Willow/Cardigan a "fraud" is stupid as well, but just read this very thread and you'll see you're plain wrong.

I will take that bet of "under" 30M
