Should have been top five on pop and top ten, at least. They began to push it just before DW got its second wind, then had all of the promo at the very start of its push, and should've kept it discounted for much longer than two weeks. Hopefully it can have great longevity on The Hot 100 and beat all her other songs

This made less of a splash than any of the ME singles I'd say, and yes, even less than OLT, if not by much. Very unfortunate, but it is what it is. Outside the discount, it never really went high in sales. It's the right move to unceremoniously dump this and move on to the next single. It's not like a lot of people really care.

Very similar Hot 100 run to Selena's Hands to Myself, minus the single week that one got a sales bump and reached #7. Lots of weeks lingering in the top 20 with no luck.
I'm sad because it's my favorite of her singles :(

i am glad S2S is having it's moment, and a lot of people are loving the video and song...I just wish Into You had a better run and video.. I thought this song was the easiest of smashes but i guess not.. i am still not sick of it so maybe it is good for it to die out so it'll live on for me... a top 10 placement on H100 would've made it an easier pill to swallow but doesn't look likely.

Totally agree with the move too. Though I do think Into You is a great song, knowing how only a certain segment of the American public really likes EuroPop, I did have reservations on how successful IY would be. And the iTunes sales bore it out. Radio got on board with IY, so don't blame them. As we're now seeing, STS will be much more successful. Yeah, most of us are already tired of it because we've been listening to it the past few months. But. It's got a reggae-ish beat which is in. It's got Nicki. It's got outrageous but memorable lyrics. It's got Ari at her most understandable best (lyric-wise). It's got the Steph Curry reference. Just heard STS on the radio yesterday. It's gonna be a smash.

This song deserved better. Agreed. For comparison's sake, Into You is Ariana's Do What You Want. Both great 2nd singles stalling in the top 15. Granted, they didn't necessarily fail to go top 10 for the same reasons - who knows why really exactly. But they are both equally great singles to me and they both shoulda/woulda/coulda smashed. I was thinking they'd discount this again while the airplay peaks just to at least try and go top 10, even if it's not guaranteed. Discounts work, and it worked for this before, so why not? Side To Side is blowing up on its own, so it's not as if discounting IY would hinder STS.

I'm having such a hard time wrapping my brain around the call out scores though. I can usually understand when a song is polarizing, but this one just screams "smash" to me. Oh well, it will be on my personal playlist for a while.

It's all very bizarre to me. There does seem to be a relatively limited sales base these days... so I guess one could argue that the early video release hindered this song's sales because they were so spread out even before it was getting any substantial airplay. Whether that's true or not, who knows.
All of this reminds me that you just never know. It has probably peaked, but MAYBE not. Stranger things have happened.

Ugh. Ariana deserves better. Into You and Dangerous Woman should have been #1s. This should have been her breakout era. I don't think this is over yet, but I don't see it getting past top 5. Hope I'm wrong. There are so many potential hits on the album, so I hope she can get a #1 still.

Ugh so sad what happened to this era, she seems to be slipping backwards in the race. Shame she is so young and nothing seems to be working right now. this era has just been there. Britney might have stole some of her pop shine, i dunno?

Ugh so sad what happened to this era, she seems to be slipping backwards in the race. Shame she is so young and nothing seems to be working right now. this era has just been there. Britney might have stole some of her pop shine, i dunno? I don't see it as this way at all. I think that here's what happened: 0) First and foremost, Scooter decided that he had to focus on Bieber's tour and career because hey, that's what makes him the most money. He couldn't devote the time nor the $$$ investment that Ariana needed to continue this era in the same way as ME.
Given this, Ari's team (basically, she and Mama Grande) decided that rather than desperately look for another high-powered management company that would want to get a big cut of the tour profits, they'd: 1) Let the music speak for itself on the radio, and then 2) Plan and invest in the tour themselves. Being the CEO of their family firm, Joan probably thinks she can do it, or at least hire the right people to do it. We'll see the next few months how true this is. So right now, Ari only does select media events/videos and has time for Hairspray and Pokemon Go and flitting between her BF's and basically enjoy her life while her songs give her continued exposure on the radio. Is it what she and we wanted to happen for 2016? Probably not, but while they may not reach #1, her songs are still on the radio, she still gets regular media exposure and a growing batch of product endorsements. She doesn't feel the "grind" and pressure as she did for ME, at least until the tour happens. Remember, the Grande family was/is pretty well-off to start with in the first place so she's probably not too pressured to make oodles of $$$ for everybody right now, unlike some other artists. As long as the DW tour actually happens at some point, everything will happen in due time. All the above being said, STS has gotta smash in a big way to give further longevity to the album on radio.

Ok, i think you're right. The Grande family will b fine. Hey she has talent! I don't think she is doing badly just okay.

This sounds like a sure fire #1 to me. It's crazy to me that it didn't hit the top.

Every song isn't gong to go #1. Racking up Top 10 hits is just fine. This album era has been very successful so far & most likely far from over.

I may be in the minority (or not, considering the callouts...) but the lack of rhyming in the chorus always throws me off (A little less conversation, and a little more touch my body / 'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you). It sounds sloppy, I don't know, I don't like how it flows.

It still has a 500+ bullet so it could be briefly slowing down before going back to a healthier bullet. I do hope so because this is pretty good and summery and has the qualities of a pop top 5 IMO

It sounds sloppy, I don't know, I don't like how it flows. That never bothered me but I noticed a couple of different people saying the song should just cut out the first verse because it's boring. It's only 30 seconds but before that chorus came on they were always rolling there eyes. Maybe that has something to do with it's call out scores. I don't get it. It's so catchy and upbeat and non offensive????

If they discount it on Friday and it gets a jump again like it did last time, it MAY have another shot at the top 10, assuming radio doesn't collapse by next Sunday

I am happy with its peak. At least it was a hit (even if it wasn't a smash hit) and not a flop.
