It’s pretty good on first listen, but if you’ve heard one Ariana Grande song, you’ve heard them all.

How is Luke Coombs keeping Ariana out of an Itunes #1? iTunes audience is much more country/HAC leaning than streaming. Ariana fans who want to purchase this are probably doing so on her website, where a CD single is available.

People purchase singles on artists'...websites? Stans do, because you can buy up to 4 copies per purchase for maximum chart impact (i.e. you can easily buy 4 copies x 10 transactions = 40 copies whereas on iTunes it's 1 sale per account). That's mainly why Dynamite was #1 for 4 weeks (but most fanbases have been doing it too, to a lesser effect).

Ariana has only a CD and a digital version so far, not even clean versions, surprisingly.

Am I the only one who didn’t have much of an issue hearing her lyrics? Of course some of them aren’t legible, but the chorus & pre chorus were fairly easy to understand I have a hard time understanding the message of the song for some reason, like I don’t know what it’s about 😂

For me it’s lacking in almost every department because it sounds like another retread and she’s still having trouble enunciating, or at this point she’s probably doing it for kicks. I got slightly excited at London On Da Track having a hand in the production but besides a credit what essence of him is in the track? It sounds like everything else Tommy Brown has been putting out lately with Mr. Franks, and no, I don’t hear any R&B in this either which is what I was hoping she would lean more towards.

I like it, and it's already grown on me a bit on the second listen. It isn't hitting me right away, but I can see this being a total ear worm.

21h music video 17M lyric video 2M This feels kinda... underwhelming for her? I mean, very good numbers but thank you, next was an event and the era ended on a high note. The start of this one should feel big but something's missing. Maybe the constant release of features, I dunno.

The start of this one should feel big but something's missing. Maybe the constant release of features, I dunno. "thank u, next" debuted with 4m on YouTube (no music video), and "7 rings" debuted with 18m, so this is exactly on par with that. "Stuck with U" opened with 11m. Even "Rain on Me" had a 17m opening day (per kworb), though I recall that one passing 20m in 24 hours.

Plus pop stars are kinda losing their Youtube power these days if you're not a KPOP act.

I was talking in comparison to tu,n which was the lead and (I think) broke the yt record at the time. NTLTC also felt way bigger. Not trying to drag, just my impression.

Not trying to drag, just my impression. yep, TUN did break the record. however, TUN the song came out in November, grew into a big hit and took Ariana into the superstar level, and then the music video was teased and hyped for a while leading up to its release in December with all the cameos in it. it's a much different situation. I would compare this to "7 rings" and "buwygf" because those are the two songs that got dropped alongside their music videos.

Not trying to drag, just my impression. 1.that was one of her most personal songs + circumstances before the song 2.hugeee promo and hype 3.star-studded mv that references 4 big teen movies 4.youtube is now basically a dead platform for english songs it's really hard to top that.

Basically comparing it to older YT numbers is like comparing it's iTunes sales to "Problem". The market has changed.

For the ones in the know: ;) - can we expect a #1 debut on the hot 100? - since when is Mariah a fan or friend of Ariana? Wasn’t there a rivalry or feud between them or was it only the usual gossip for the divas?
