I'm thinking this is at the end of its wits. We always knew this was a song that would either do extremely well within a short amount of time or become somewhat of a flop (on CHR at least).

Lost its bullet on Urban. :( And today's good update on Pop might have been Thanksgiving related (most songs got good updates today).

Apparently a station was removed from the panel so that could have attributed to the negative spin gain. Seeing as though it had a positive AI gain I'm hoping it'll bounce back a bit tomorrow.

It was a weird week in general for CHR, but still this is hanging by a thread. If it doesn't pick up in the next days, it's over. Sad cause it deserves to do a lot better.

True but what worries me more is that this is only her first single and it's been hyped up so much yet it's still struggling. If this is already struggling imagine how difficult it will be for her when she releases another single. Especially since it will be really hard for them to make a single that is as good or better than this one.

Perhaps massive Top 40 success isn't in the cards for her right now but it could come eventually w/ her other singles. The song and video definitely got her noticed though.

I thought this would've done better. It seemed like it was gonna be a huge smash once it started blowing up. Oh, well.

This song proves that CHR peaks really aren't everything.. It peaked low here but was still a pretty large hit and made a big impact.

It didn't even make Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 which really surprised me. The impact and popularity was equivalent to a Top 5 at least, IMO.

All she needed was a major live performance, perhaps on the AMAs, and it would've been top 10. No doubt.

This song definitely earned the positions it had, and even deserved more. Sad if it's over.

A song's position on the charts matter less and less these days with the power of social media and various other things.
As some of you have said, it's impact was pretty huge, I can't think of anyone who isn't familiar with the song, video, and the artist. Given all of that, whether or not it went top 10 is pretty irrelevant.

It's only the first song of hers. It sets her up for the next one to do even better. It did kinda come and go rather quickly.

It's far from good but until the AI starts dropping this still has a chance.

Given all of that, whether or not it went top 10 is pretty irrelevant. Yeah, true. Plus, it was a pretty solid urban/rhythmic hit, right? The pop charts (or the BB charts) are not everything. Still, I would like to see this have a little more longevity. Coming and going to quickly makes it more of a novelty type song (or a case of curiousity about Will Smith's daughter IMO). So if it can hang around a while longer on urban/rhythmic and end up selling a decent amount of copies then I'll feel better about it.

It's already at 500k and should easily pass 1 million with the Christmas bump coming up. Very nice sales especially if pop airplay stays this insignificant.

She really is looking like she could be a little Miley Cyrus for the Hip-hop/R&B world. Go Willow. It still has its bullet on Rhythmic I think, the song is not dead yet. I wonder why she didn't perform on the BET Award or Soul Train Awards, etc? Maybe her parents are slowing that stuff down because of her age, which I could understand.

Yeah she is way too young to be a full time pop star. I think it's good the way they're handling her. Ellen was the perfect place for her live performance.
