They've never had a single Hot 100 entry before Lemon: http://www.billboard.com/music/nerd  

"Spaz" (2008) came close, peaking at #6 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart.

It won't

[SebaMonster]

Well, it's their first single with a big label push in the US. (iTunes promo, Spotify playlists, Urban radio deal)

Didn't have a radio deal, wasn't on Today's Top Hits, didn't have a banner on iTunes

[DevinWylde]

i had no clue Rih had 61 hot 100 entries

[DaenerysFenty]

She keeps giving to those who have less, truly the Humanitarian of the year 

 

[Weed]

What? They never charted before?

It most likely had an Urban radio deal. It currently has 5.2M AI which is a lot for a song with only 680 spins, that means the big radio stations were playing it. It was on a lot of Spotify playlists, especially the big Hip-Hop playlists. It was one of the highest songs on Hot Tracks on iTunes.

 

For someone like Rihanna that might not seem like a lot of promo, but compared to NERD's previous singles it's huge.

Seriously? They’ve never entered the top 100?
