This is actually great. Iβm not big on fanmade remixes with verses from different songs but Nickiβs verse leading to the explosive chorus of βThe Manβ is a brilliant moment. βThe Manβ featuring a female rapper would be cool.

This isn't what I would pick, but there aren't any hits on this album (and yes, that includes "Cruel Summer," the delusion surrounding that song is severe), this is as good a choice as anything IMO.
Since there's no clear cut hit, sometimes it's best to release a song that starts a conversation and fits your brand. This does that for her.

I think this is a solid choice for the next single and she could make a great video for it.

Yeah, if she goes all out on a video (and maybe a remix) I could see it getting a relatively high Hot 100 peak.
Pretty much anything she releases is going to get negative callouts, so I don't expect much higher than top 20 on pop.

Will she be waiting for Miss Americana, the documentary, before releasing this as a single?

Next single. Edit: Might not be since this only means one station added it.

Next single. That's just some random station adding it, isn't it? That usually doesn't mean anything. Getaway Car got 7 adds in one week last year and that didn't amount to anything.

That's right. This is WDOD-FM's adds report from last week and "The Man" only received an add from this radio station as it's mentioned in the picture above, so it doesn't necessarily mean that this is the next single. If it gets a couple of more adds over the following weeks, an official announcement should be expected to be revealed.

I like this more than I thought I did. I ended up purchasing it this week. "I Think He Know's" is still my favorite from "Lover" but "The Man" is a close second.

Rumor has it that βThe Manβ is going to impact Pop & AC radio on January 28th.

So, ideal situation.
β’ Jan. 24 β Music video β’ Jan. 26 β Grammy's performance β’ Jan. 28 β Radio impact β’ Jan. 31 β Miss Americana
All of this should help the song with a strong debut. A "Wildest Dreams"-esque radio edit with a huge deal could greatly help.

If this is the next single, I have a feeling we're getting a remix for the video + release. Wouldn't be surprised to see someone like Lizzo end up on it.

Technically they have already done the "please don't play this track until we're ready" thing with radio (with "Bad Blood" and "Wildest Dreams"), and both received remixes so who knows...

I feel like this will flop with or without a remix. Right now I would even prefer if she didn't remix it because it might be embarrassing if it tanks lol

Not my favorite, but I still think it's the best choice for the next single.

About time.
Let's hope this goes at least top 15 on Pop.

It like she decided she over being on top and always in the public eye so she sabotaging her career so she never has a hit again and can just live a normal life with her billions of dollars

i'm worried this won't perform as well people expect it to, but i hope it does regardless. still hoping that "cruel summer" or "miss americana" get single treatment later.

If there's a remix with a killer video, it could get a decent peak on the Hot 100. But I don't see it doing much on radio.
