Everybody go buy a digital copy because the Aaliyah estate is probably gonna strike soon if that sample wasn't cleared. We've seen less obvious sampling/inspiration get credited recently ("deja vu"/"Cruel Summer"). I can't believe there's no easy way to stream her music even in 2021. From the interview in that article I posted it doesn’t seem like he will sue. He wished Normani the best in her career and said that Aaliyah would have loved the song. |

It's been in my head but I forgot to mention how much I love this song and how much I love aaliyah influence living all these years later. This is RNB music the kind I grew up on not the kind I tolerate nowadays.
Song, video, visuals, beauty all covered to the best of my liking. Normani is so easy to stan cause she is so damn likeable and dripping in potential

It isn't gonna go far on Pop so I don't get what the reason is. Anyway,it should do well on Rhythmic or R&B. Love Lies did well on pop and technically it’s R&B Why are you as a Camila fan so obsessed with whether this has potential on pop? Do you think pop is only for whiter artists who sing r&b? I’m not saying that’s not actually how it works now but it’s kind of bigoted. On second thought, doesn't Cardi's verse make this a bit too raunchy to do well on top 40? Kind of like WAP... |

It's a little less raunchy, but it can go either way because Normani does have nice pop peaks. |

Pop let both a song about eating pussy ("Watermelon Sugar") and another about co-dependent fellatio ("34+35") reach #1 on their format... they can disrespectfully go to hell when it comes to censorship. |

I thought that too but you gotta remember she was in a pop group and many radio stations have a great connection with her |

Yeah they honestly don't care about the context of the song itself as long as it's not overly vulgar with its word. Talk about fucking all you want, but don't dare actually say the word "fuck." 😂 |

I agree the extended version is hot as hell.
I love the harmonies (ooooh) during the bridge and the snake noise before Cardi part. So addictive!
I'm so glad this song is doing well so far. I have it on repeat.

Normani needed a bop to come back, I'm not sure this is it.

This is already starting to peak on streaming. How are they going to sustain the momentum? I expect a big drop next. I hope I’m wrong and Normani does a performance early next week on Kimmel or something.

I didn't think an R&B leaning song from her could debut this high. Cardi definitely has a better track record than Normani but I don't even think Cardi's R&B leaning song, Ring with Kehlani, started as well. I think part of the initial response to Wild Side is Normani being gone for a while and returning with a Cardi feat.

Maybe Cardi could join her or as you might say 'do some more Charity'. |

I hope I’m wrong and Normani does a performance early next week on Kimmel or something. The drop is normal for most releases and it's only been one week, all the new releases of this week also need to be taken into account She is still top 20 on AM which I definitely think will be the more stable platform since it's a very Urban dominated one. Spotify it's at #69 which doesn't surprise me since she isn't a big name yet but we will have to see over the course of the coming weeks to see if it can find stability in the top 100. As for iTunes, it's top 50 still and right now the extended version is also there as well. I imagine she will do promo within the coming weeks as well so it's too early to make any major judgements after all the song came out only 8 days ago. |

Additionally RCA female artists noticeably have been struggling on the format as of late between Doja Cat and SZA where stuff like Streets and Good Days didn't do well. Who knows what's going on over there exactly idk but they need to get there shit together. |

Who knows what's going on over there exactly idk but they need to get there s**t together. I agree about RCA needing to step it up. I think I remember them trying to send Love Lies with a Rick Ross feature and Urban ignored it. On the bright side, H.E.R. and Jazmine Sullivan are doing okay on the format but they get next to no love on pop. |

RCA's whole R&B/Urban division needs a revamp. They don't do jack shit for them.
