How many spins is this away from snatching that #1? A little under 500 and both Drake and Wizkid are starting to bleed spins!

It's funny that the one format they didn't send this to on impact is the only format holding her up and helping this become her most stable hit to date as a lead. This is a clear sign that Urban is willing to support but she has to leave that pure pop shit at the door.

This is a clear sign that Urban is willing to support but she has to leave that pure pop s**t at the door. I agree except she’s credited as lead on Love Lies and another song. This is the first song where the other artist is featured however. Distinction with a difference maybe. Love Lies was more stable and on a bigger format so it was more successful. Happy for her nonetheless. I personally prefer her doing pop. Much more exciting than whatever this was with more commercial potential.

I'm happy to see the big Urban gains also having a knock on effect on Rhythmic. It's regained spins there with a decent bullet. I hope it can keep climbing there as well now!

^And the thing is, it never lost that much audience on Rhythmic after peaking and it still has a higher audience than all songs around so that means the bigger stations never dropped this I guess.

She needs to drop a solo version for Urban/R&B radio. If it's another artist's single I imagine there would be 2 alternate versions and 8 remixes already dropped. Her label is literally doing nothing.

Normani could've built up a much more substantial discography had they dropped a debut project following Waves/the Calvin Harris EP/Love Lies, a sophomore project following DWAS/Motivation, and now a third.

Exactly. They could've even dropped an EP with Waves, Checklist, Slow Down, Love Lies and 2 or 3 other songs. That alone would've gotten more attention in general to her debut as a solo artist than just throwing the songs out there and hoping that LL buzz would translate into success for her with literally zero effort.

Yeah I say fuck pop and catering to their fickle white audiences. She needs to cater to the Urban crowd and celebrate her powerful blackness!!! She can do it.

Arguable since the Urban/Rhythmic audiences were basically cut in half or at least a third (?) since COVID and the recalibration.

I think she deserves a well balanced audience. I think people forget where she came from and dancing with a stranger. She has the capability to capture all audience members…

I think she deserves a well balanced audience. I think people forget where she came from and dancing with a stranger. She has the capability to capture all audience members… This. Over the past decade she's recorded on 6 songs that landed in the top ten of pop radio and 7 others in the top 40 including Wild Side. 1 in the top 50 of urban altogether. Most artists would not throw that pop history away to chase success on a smaller format. It should be noted that this is Cardi's 12th number one on urban. Meanwhile Normani has been on more pop radio number ones than Cardi if you include Work From Home with Love Lies and Dancing with a Stranger.

Arguable since the Urban/Rhythmic audiences were basically cut in half or at least a third (?) since COVID and the recalibration. It's no secret that pop radio is much more mainstream than urban radio, right? If Mediabase is calibrating urban radio audiences down then that doesn't help the case. Fall 2019 Urban radio #1s had an audience around 28-29M Fall 2021: 21M -25M Meanwhile the entire current top 10 on pop radio has an estimated audience of 32M-63M. Urban radio has a much lower ceiling in terms of audience reach, and according to downward calibrations, it's lower now than it was pre-COVID. Compare Normani's solo Motivation to her urban radio hit with Cardi B: Motivation reached platinum eligibility in the US quicker, surpassed 100M Spotify streams in 2.5 months, and hit sales benchmarks in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia that Wild Side likely won't. Pure R&B generally has a lower ceiling internationally and esp singles-wise in the US. Add to that - only a handful of women's non-rap singles have gone number one on Urban radio in the past few years. So take Cardi B off Normani's next single and she still has to compete with the Drakes, Lil Baby, DaBaby, Roddy Rich, Future, female rappers like Megan, Cardi, and Saweetie to ever repeat a number one at urban radio. We've already seen that she can carry a pop song (Motivation), work in pop duets (DWAS), help R&B songs crossover to pop radio (Love Lies was Khalid's first pop radio hit as lead/co-lead). Anything in top 15/20 on pop radio can compete commercially with the top 1 or 2 songs on urban radio, i.e. pop radio creates more chances for achieving comparable commercial success. In short, strictly abandoning a pop sound after a decade of success on a larger format because of a Cardi-assisted crossover on a smaller one, would be an odd choice. Even if she continues down this path, I don't think it would be wise for her to make music that alienates pop radio. Urban pop is a good lane.

Congrats for the #1 Urban smash! I'm curious what the next single will sound like. In August they were saying the next one would have a poppier sound but I wonder if they have changed their mind since then.

Releasing a pop single after this is...a perfect way to sabotage her release plan once again. (Looking at Tinashe and "Super Love")
