Imagine calling Rihanna a fraud because someone from Billboard made a typo. R behaviour.

I honestly don't remember such an obvious battle

Let's ask @Starkboy

Better a #1 then to miss for a few points like This is what you came for honestly. #Praying all of this is worthy for the oscars...

I hope it isn't too late.

Coming for the biggest rolling effect (perhaps those website sales might have done the trick)

I remember when people used to cry her streams were too high during ANTi's era but the sales were low. Now the opposite ..keep the tears flow over a lullaby.

The deal with Samsung didn't impact Soundscan (only RIAA) whose data are being questioned though.

"questionable" ok then. It had two versions charting (the instrumental one) and clearly the whatver kpop guy spiked over one day. Again all big lead singles had radio payola/deal If soundscan says it sold 27k in three days then are they frauding their own system for Rihanna that seems very weird.

oh really the radio deals that have been around for the last 20? 30? years. That isn't really a trick is it. A lot of Rih's songs missed #1. I remember This is what you came For needed just a discount to hit #1 yet it peaked #2, Stay #3, Wild Thoughts #2. I haven't seen any push in the last 10 years since Loud basically to boost a song to #1.

and what are these tricks exactly. I don't see any proof only tears over a soundtrack song.

the tears and fumes are great please continue

People questioning Soundscan's numbers lmao. SOS - 2006 Umbrella - 2007 Take a bow - 2008 S&M - 2010 welcome to 2022

The radio looks strong af..now we have to wait for the movie.
