November 3, 20177 yr It’s Rihanna, of course it will go Top 40 :D Yes but it's not her most radio-friendly song :P And a top 40 debut would be a much better start for this. I'm surprised Radio 1 didn't insta-add it to their playlist but it was Annie's Hottest Record on Wednesday so I'm sure it'll be there within a couple of weeks.
November 4, 20177 yr Author Still #3 on Dutch iTunes (don't understand how) and went from #142 to #69 on Spotify on its second day. A hit!
November 4, 20177 yr It’s not a song that’ll really do well on iTunes long term so I’d just reduce it to 59p there to keep it in the top 40. #45 on Spotify without much support is obvs really good so I do think it can be a big hit! Her rap in this is incredible *.*

I don't see why not, the most boring song of the year, "Rockstar", just spent four weeks at #1 with zero promotion :lol: This is #29 in the midweeks today! Top 40 debut should be secured :D
November 8, 20177 yr Author This is really starting to grow on me. Now I get to know the rap a little bit it's very infectious to rap along.
November 10, 20177 yr Top 50 on Spotify and C-List on Radio! Smash hit incoming *_* It has grown on me and I love Rihanna's verse, I just wish she did more on the song. Also, I think the production is pretty basic to say it's a Pharrell song.
November 14, 20177 yr Author Debuts at #65 in the US, Rihanna's 61st Hot 100 hit *.* And N.E.R.D.'s first :lol:.
November 14, 20177 yr And N.E.R.D.'s first :lol:. You're joking?! :o "She Wants to Move" was huge here, how did it never chart in the US?!
November 15, 20177 yr Author You're joking?! :o "She Wants to Move" was huge here, how did it never chart in the US?! Hehe I had the same reaction when I found out, but it really is their first Hot 100 entry.
November 18, 20177 yr Author Only dropped 2 places this week in the UK! Very impressed. It's doing better than I expected considering it doesn't even have a chorus :lol:.
November 24, 20177 yr This has spent a third week in the UK top 40! :D A new peak is looking unlikely but hopefully it will stick around the lower ends of the top 40 for a while. It's up to B list on Radio 1 and has been both Clara's and Nick's Record of the Week there so it should be stable for a while anyway.
November 29, 20177 yr Author It has disappeared off UK iTunes (it was at #36 or something). Does anybody know why?
November 29, 20177 yr It has disappeared off UK iTunes (it was at #36 or something). Does anybody know why? #36 for me.
November 29, 20177 yr Author #36 for me. Oh I was looking at kworb. It's probably just an error then.
November 30, 20177 yr Okay, this is actually pretty good...just that 30 second fast intro kills it - and its a 1.10 long on Spotify! If it just opened on Rihanna from the start would be a much more instant track.
January 11, 20187 yr Serena Williams has filmed something promotional for Vogue set to this *.* She slays: WUxZCvYkwss
January 23, 20187 yr 'Lemon' has just entered the top 40 on the Billboard hot 100 Her 50th top 40 hit Only behind Taylor in top 40 hits STILL climbing on US iTunes I never really liked this haha. Rih's rap is good though and proud of her to get yet another top 40 hit *.*
January 23, 20187 yr Author Only behind Taylor in top 40 hits For female artists I think because there are a few others above her (including 'Glee Cast' and 'Lil' Wayne'...). The more I listen to 'Lemon' the more I think that it's not really all that but kudos to Rihanna's star power for giving N.E.R.D. their first Billboard Hot 100 hit and dragging it all the way into the top 40.
