Yes. Nasri, the lead singer, had previously written Justin Bieber's two insufferable, but successful, songs "As Long as You Love Me" and "Never Say Never." "As Long as You Love Me," minus Bieber, is actually a pretty damn fantastic pop song. This one, however, I can't really get into.. The main line of the hook is catchy and memorable, but I'm sort of scratching my head about why this is as huge as it is. I agree, As Long As You Love Me is a brilliant song. I don't mind Justin either. I think Boyfriend and As Long as You Love Me were two of the best 2012 chart hits, and also I liked them because not many other people were releasing songs like those at the time. This and Am I Wrong are almost ready to burn on me. Haven't even started, and I've heard them A MILLION times already... I still haven't heard either song in full yet!

Honestly As Long as You Love Me is a jam, same with Beauty and a Beat and even Boyfriend, but I really don't want to burn out those two because they are great songs!

This and Am I Wrong are almost ready to burn on me. Haven't even started, and I've heard them A MILLION times already... Yeah, I understand what you mean, I've heard Rude pretty much every time I've turned the radio on (especially while driving in the car). I haven't heard Am I Wrong as much as I've heard Rude though surprisingly. I hear both "Rude" and "Am I Wrong" all of the time as well. In the car, and at home.

Well since "Lemonade" has literally S# ephelia the bed in each possible way!!! What a travesty that will be when we look back on it. Truth is...Not only will "Rude" get #1 on the Hot 100 & Mediabase but, it will ALSO be the song of the summer here in the USA Sucks that Canada has heard it played a BILLION times cause it's really only STARTED to build it's impressive run at this point in time. Hate to be rude (to Canada) but the magic! has just started down here. (Very sorry to get punny)

I'm really surprised at how low their album sales are going to be for week 1 with a single this huge. Their brand awareness is still pretty low at this point; it's the danger of having a debut single go up the charts SO fast. I hate using social media stats because they 1) tend to lag in relation to success at radio/iTunes and 2) reflect 'social marketing' skill as much as they do overall popularity, but the band only has 26K followers on Twitter AND actively follows a lot of people. And they've only gone up about 15-20K since the song really started to break. I also don't know how much overall interest there is in reggae fusion on the whole. Rude worked because it was so unique and so catchy, and it's possible something like Don't Kill the Magic will work (but that's not really reggae at all). But it takes more than that to sell albums.

This reminds at 2 at digital sales. The album entered at 6 The top 5 songs at billboard are getting airplay in multiple formats and selling well, so sometimes it's a minimum advantage what makes the different

I don't understand how this wouldn't be #1 this week. It's as if sales don't matter or something. Fancy is higher on Streams, Radio Audience and reasonably close behind for sales. So it makes sense that Fancy could still be ahead. It also looks like radio is still weighted really heavily. Rude was up 13% in radio but down 15% in sales and 7% on streams and is still up 4% in chart points.
