I still don't feel this song 15 pages later... she does nothing with this sample, and Cardi adds nothing to this.
Also, let's be careful with the "rebranding to Urban" conversation. She should be able to make the music she wants, even if the hybrid thing turns out being a mess like Tinashe and Ciara.

Girl I know you're sad about not performing at the VMAs, but you can't even perform live on Instagram in your backyard first. You have to promote the song if you want a hit.

It shouldn't be this difficult for her...
She came from a successful girl group with pop radio hits and a strong fanbase. She had 2 #1 hits on pop radio. She really should've stuck with that sound. Her solo stuff (i.e. Waves, Wild Side) is not right from a branding or success perspective. Just because she's a dark-skinned Black girl doesn't mean she can't have a successful pop/RnB career.

To be fair she tried straight up pop ("Motivation") but taking an Ariana Grande leftover for your lead single was a terrible idea. Other than the video being really good it was a very middle of the road song.

Other than the video being really good it was a very middle of the road song. Hmmmm. Even as a middle of the road pop-song it was still her most successful solo release. Wild Side may have charted higher on the Hot 100 but I doubt it will surpass the streaming success of Motivation which is nearing 200 million streams last I checked and the video is over 100 million views. It was a moderate success could’ve been a nice foray into another release if they branded Motivation as a buzz single. Motivation was “poppy” but it definitely had Ariana “pop” influence.

Yeah, I mean Motivation did well enough, it wasn't a total flop. 250M+ Spotify streams and #15 on Pop radio isn't terrible at all for her first solo single.

I'm very late to the party, but damn this is great. Least Normani got a very quick peak...even though this ain't hitting the YE because of course.

She should continue pushing this on Rhythmic & Urban formats and release a banger for Pop format.

I know. I saw it missing on the abbreviated top 20. Posted that in case it’s the 7-day peak.

I was having a conversation with someone on Twitter when I realized that according to Billboard this has been one of the top 5-10 R&B songs out every week since its release. www.billboard.com/charts/r-and-b-songsIt debuted at 3 on the Hot R&B songs chart Even as a fan, I don't know if I've judged the performance of this song fairly. While I think she needs to release more than one song every other year to get anywhere, the way her label is positioned towards her, I don't see her getting much support for a new release while this single is still climbing the R&B airplay charts and while they have resources deployed for this to happen. We'll see what happens in the coming weeks if they can arrange some kind of performance to match the song's ascendance on urban radio because that's what a lot of people are looking for.

Urban actually treated this quite fairly. If she can follow this up with another song that does even better there at least she is getting an audience engaged.
On Pop I wouldn't really waste any more promo on it unless it starts blowing up on other metrics.
But she need to be consistent with these releases. Another break is just gonna tank her career.
