mess at her singing in tongues.

[lewis111]

First single?? So no 45 seconds

[reece(:]

"If you had a twin I would still choose you" is a messy line

[reece(:]

First single?? So no 45 seconds
It was a buzz single!

[Dominic]

[Dominic]

It's annoyingly catchy!

[Iceman]

It's okay but if it's being counted as a lead single for the album then she's made a massive mistake.

[Iceman]

It's annoyingly catchy!

Yeah the chorus is actually stuck in my head. I don't know how well it'll do chart wise though.

[Dominic]

Almost an hour into release #37 on iTunes US and #22 on iTunes UK! #100 on Pop bars

[Shaun]

she turned down Lush Life for this? :worry:

[Dominic]

#1 on iTunes US. Her fastest song to reach it!

[Jack_]

#3 in the UK

come on bae <3

[lewis111]

I find this song a huge disappointment I was expecting the lead single to be something quite weird and unique this is so basic and dull not impressed at all

[Ross.]

welp @ "first single"

[MB.]

It's ok

[Jordan.]

Tragic, she should cancel it again

[Loukas]

this is weak :/
It might grow on me but i'm not convinced tbh.. :bored:

[Loukas]

she turned down Lush Life for this? :worry:

she turned down Lush Life?!!? Are you kidding? Lush Life is an amazing track!

[Alf]

Why does every artist nowadays always have to have someone featuring on their song?

Do they not have the selling power to release a song on their own?

[Marsh.]

It took two artists to come up with the genius that is this song.

[Alf]

Why don't they just say, Rihanna and Drake? then that doesn't make Drake sound like he's an extra.

[Dominic]

bye @ the hate this is so catchyy

[Dominic]

she turned down Lush Life?!!? Are you kidding? Lush Life is an amazing track!

Would it have worked with Rihs voice tho

[Loukas]

Would it have worked with Rihs voice tho

that song would work with my vocals and i sing like a dying cat. So yeah i would think it would work with Rihanna's. The only issue is the fact that the song isn't Rih's style..

[Dominic]

Well yeah that's more of what I meant, I feel like the song doesn't fit her general (and vocal) style.

It's #1 on iTunes practically everywhere now.

[Ross.]

I want to like this but I'm not feeling it atm :worry:

[Marsh.]

Why don't they just say, Rihanna and Drake? then that doesn't make Drake sound like he's an extra.

Because it's Rihanna's song. It's on her album, not his.

"Name and Name" is an equal duet, which stuff like this is not.

That's how I always understood it anyway.

[Tom4784]

It's like they ran out of lyrics halfway through so Rihanna just gargled down the microphone for the rest of the song.

[Pete.]

I like it, so happy to hear her again

[Loukas]

Drake's verse is actually quite good, but WTF is Rihanna doing?!

[Pete.]

[Pete.]

It's #2 in UK why does Kworb write UK twice
And the US :/

[Samm]

It's alright might warm once a video comes out but kinda sounds like a filler

lmao @ "first single" tho

[Dominic]

It's #1 on the US Pop Bars and the second song is 0.67, #2 in UK Pop Bars and it's at 0.83.

[Z]

she turned down Lush Life for this? :worry:

And Lean On? What a flop. This is dirge upon first listen, maybe it'll grow on me...

[Smithy]

[Iceman]

That's really impressive after a few hours.

[EspeonBB]

This is so disappointing. It might grow on me like other Rihanna singles have done in the past but eh

[Marsh.]

The Saturdays - Work is unimpressed

[EspeonBB]

Death @ "first single"

[Pete.]

Excuse me I contributed to its three sales
God bless you

[MB.]

I mean I listened to it on Spotify once

That counts right

[Dominic]

iTunes #1 in over 70 countries

[Pete.]

[Dominic]

Is she about tu surpass Medoner's US #1 count?

[Pete.]

This year's music releases are going to be amazing

[Dominic]

This year's music releases are going to be amazing

Pretty Girls EP to top the year end chart?

[Pete.]

Pretty Girls EP to top the year end chart?
After 8 months in the charts?

[Headie]

I used that jams.to site to listen to it and now my laptop won't stop getting notifications from the. How do I turn it off?

welp

[Ross.]

rip the BBUK late entrants competition?

[MB.]

rip the BBUK late entrants competition?

Anti is the true late entrant

[lewis111]

I like it a bit more now than I did earlier but still not feeling it that much. It's no What's My Name

[Pete.]

It's almost got 70k sales on iTunes in the US

[Pete.]

And one more person has bought it in Antigua & Barbuda

[Headie]

I just cleared my history and cache from the last day lmao

[Dominic]

120k in US in first day :clap1:

[lewis111]

#13 in uk charts after basically 1 day of sales and no Spotify release

[Pete.]

Sigh, it will get max #2 because of Zayn

[lewis111]

I think a lot of people will get the album instead of the single and since it's not on most streaming services and it's already dropping in iTunes idk if it'll get top 3

[Jordan.]

Work doesn't deserve to be #1 anyway, worst song on the album

[Smithy]

Delete the title fat!

[TomC]

I feel I'm so late in my obsession with this song :worry:

Can't stop listening to this song. It's so funny how you sometimes just suddenly 'get' a song, even if it's been around for weeks.

[Pete.]

Global smash :clap1:

#1 for 9 weeks in USA

[reece(:]

I can't decide if I like this or One Dance better :worry:
