Well this is highly suspicious

Itunes: This song is not even #1 on Itunes on its debut day, in fact, it reached #1 on its second day, and stayed there for just one day, so most predictor only gave it 19k for the whole week. Where are these 27K (three days) sales came from?

AM US: It took 15h to surpass Anti-hero 8th day to reach #1, and then free fall immediately, now it is not even in the top 30.

Spotify US: It never surpassed Anti-hero and now is out of the top 30. So where are those streams came from? Can someone explain it to me?

 

Current chart position:

Anti-Hero
Itunes US: #1
Spotify US: #1
AM US: #1

 

LMU:
Itunes US: #3
Spotify US: #26
AM US: #31

 

And the points gap between these two songs is less than 10? Ridiculous

this also has me scratching my head…like, i understand radio weighs a lot but it’s crazy that it weighs so much as to where it can override all other metrics  if that’s the case then the #1 spot is just gonna be determined by whatever song is doing well on radio rather than streaming, sales, etc which are metrics that actually reflect consumers buying.

 

there would have to be A LOT of explaining done if this song were to magically take the #1 spot.

[suburbannature]

So is she getting #1 or not

Not just radio....the user above didn't include YouTube and Pandora so the streaming gap is much closer than indicated above.

[Harry]

yall are forgetting the instrumental version. it charted fairly high in the first few days, probably not enough still but it helps making it less suspicious

[Cryptique]

We're here for Rih snatching another number1

fair point. the numbers on youtube and pandora would have to be MASSIVE though to close that gap…

Also no Amazon Music where Anti-Hero is 10 spots higher

 

And YouTube and Pandora are the 2 lowest weighted streaming options. Pandora is almost weighted closer to radio than Apple Music

I really dont think its super close even with 50k sales for LMU

[Harry]

imagine if BB suggested her label/disney to do website sales so they can cheat the numbers legally that way

[pierreleswiftie]

The most fraudulent song of the year

i mean as Swifties, i have no room to drag anyone after the MEth

I agree

 

OT: Queen coming for her 15th #1 whether it’s this week or another. She has 14 without rereleases, fan greets or Target bundles. Which is very difficult to do, not everyone can.

I still think LMU will land at #2 but I think it'll be close

It's worse than BTS paying radio and tricking sales. BTS only mass buy they don't cheat.

Exactly. Rihanna basically pulls frauds but on steroid. All those shady comments on Taylor, BTS and Beyonce now backfired. But at least all those three artists hit #1 meanwhile we are not even sure Rih will get it unless she adds another tricks
