June 14, 20205 yr A moment of silence for the poor kitten who was held by 6ix9ine in the video. I hope the poor kitten and the Dalmatian came to no harm.
June 16, 20205 yr Author They've released an "alternate version" that is now #1 and #2 on US iTunes as well as the original at #3 and clean version at #9.
June 17, 20205 yr Apparently the only difference is the lyrics being changed slightly - pretty clear that this is just 6ix9ine learning from missing out on the Hot 100 last time and trying to maximise the sales from the Nicki stanbase to force himself to #1 this time. And it'll probably work despite this song clearly not being as popular with the general public. Sigh ~ At least if it does get to #1 it'll probably have an amusingly huge drop in its second week - the previous songs forced to #1 by bundle sales all still had some radio and at least decent streaming (and several of them ended up dropping out of the top 10 in week 2 even so), this on the other hand will have zero radio and pretty mediocre streaming numbers (bar YouTube ofc).
June 17, 20205 yr So it’s now projected to debut at #2 Rockstar 378 Trolls 365 I’m sure Trolls will put out another couple of versions but hopefully it’s a bit too late! Thank god US radio stations aren’t playing him!
June 18, 20205 yr People oblivious to his past. The thing is, I don't think they're oblivious - they're aware but they just don't care. Which makes it worse.
June 21, 20205 yr This seems like it’s expected to actually get the #1 now doesn’t it. Hopefully it won’t but honestly wouldn’t be surprised. Can see a big meltdown post if it doesn’t go to #1 coming from both of them.
June 21, 20205 yr The dropoff this has had on US iTunes since the end of the download tracking week is actually kind of impressive. 45 -23 6ix9ine & Nicki Minaj - TROLLZ 143 -104 6ix9ine & Nicki Minaj - TROLLZ - Alternate Edition 486 -378 6ix9ine & Nicki Minaj - TROLLZ (Alternate Edition) 577 -385 6ix9ine & Nicki Minaj - TROLLZ These were all in the top 10 two days ago... It's also down to #32 on Apple Music and #55 on Spotify, obviously has close to zero radio support as well and I think even the video has lost momentum much quicker than 'GOOBA' did so I don't really see anything stopping this from having a record breaking drop from #1 (assuming it's probably going to get that now sadly). I'm taking it as a positive that the general public really doesn't seem to be buying into this song, its success is nearly entirely down to Nicki stans.
June 21, 20205 yr If this does get the #1 it’ll feel crazy that Nicki spent a decade trying to get one chart topper then she gets two in a really short space of time! (Prays it’s #2) at least the UK kinda done right by this and it only went top 20. It’s legit crazy how he’s still popular though like almost all of my friends have liked his past two releases too their taste sucks!
June 22, 20205 yr Author It’s crazy that after so many years in the business, Nicki has had her first 2 #1s by collabing with a paedophile and tacking a below average verse onto Say So.
June 22, 20205 yr Well congrats to Nicki and Nicki only .... I still like her and her music despite her questionable taste with who she works and associate herself with . Edited June 22, 20205 yr by Soapsfan20
June 22, 20205 yr The mockery of the Hot 100 #1 is officially complete :clap: Coming to be the first #1 to spend only one week in the top 40 :clap: Billboard have to be seriously considering massively downweighting if not entirely eliminating pure sales from the Hot 100 formula at this point. This is the most blatant example yet of bundle sales / multibuying creating a #1 that is very clearly not popular enough to be a #1.
June 22, 20205 yr Tbf, play the game. She was burnt before by not pulling out all the stops with bundles so it's unsurprising they went this route.
