i asked the same question and nobody answered

How did it never reach top 10 when it peaked at #7?

Hmmm maybe moderate

This!!

It's a moderate hit (An underperformance for her standards tho)

No.
It's not a flop either.

Not a hit but you can't really call it a flop considering it was the third single. It done decently.

.

Yes, a moderate hit. It'll probably hit platinum and 100 million views eventually.

How? Were you saying the same thing when "Slow Down" happened ?

Moderate hit

It's a moderate hit.

I'd say DWUW, Unconditionally and Slow Down were bigger hits than AY. The three were top 10 on Pop radio but AY already crashing.

If we go by sales, they're pretty even right now, AY will probably outsell them when all is said and done.

You guys are doing too much, to say its not a hit isn't to say its a flop. Its just not a hit.

For it to be a moderate hit it would have had to been given continuous moderate radio spins and conversation generated about its release and existence as current single. Its her least talked about single, its her least viewed video, its not on the radio at all, its not used commercially at all, its essentially her What Now (Rihanna). Its not a hit, but its not a flop. It was just released and it exists. For it to have flopped she would have had to have put effort into promoting it (Unconditionally and DWUW are flops relative to the artists who released them, lets be real). Thus why its like her What Now. She just released it and let it live on its own.

You guys are just being generous and as usual are very sensitive to being brutally honest about the reality of whats actually considered noteworthy because you believe whatever definitive statement you make indirectly affects how you believe someone else should view a favorite artist of yours work. If Adore You is considered a flop than song A or song B is even more of a flop and that simply cannot be, so we'll call this a success so by comparison song A and song B aren't considered flops.
