Clearly not, since we live in a streaming era, but ok sis

Which chart is this...clearly not the Hot 100 as it encompases sales, airplay and streaming

Work hit #1 before the pop support you're talking about.

Work has pop support because it was serviced there for adds during release week.

Jeiboy - you need to stop and leave the thread. Please take your stanning for everything else elsewhere.

On topic:

Hope the video comes this month as this is rising on all metrics

VeVoAustralia already teased it this past week

Surely Needed Me will get decent pop support? The reason it isn't right now is because Kiss It Better got sent to pop instead.

But The Hills and Hotline Bling both got to #2 on pop and also I think Needed Me is more pop friendly than Work. It might not be as catchy but part of the problem with Work on pop is that a lot of pop listeners don't like the fact that they can't understand most of the lyrics in Work, but that's not a problem with Needed Me.

And they could always make a pop radio edit like they do with some country songs, or even send a dance remix to pop to help it.

Well yeh this is a different matter entirely. I was debating last week about this in the chart section about whether Needed Me might get pop support.

I strongly believe that it won't, at least not without a pop edit/dance remix like you refer to. They could release one there, but I don't see it happening, because yeh KIB is a thing - they would be essentially abandoning it.

Anyways,

Honestly I don't mind when the video comes out. It's rising so fast right now. As long as it is before mid May.

Btw Needed Me now is featured under cool new music on Pop one new station added it last night

Duuuuude the thing is work went #1 because of its impact on streaming not because AirPlay. Sure it helped during the 9 weeks reigned but it would've gone #1 anyway, without the pop support. Many songs hit top 10 on pop but that doesn't make them big hits. Like I know so many songs. And for sure needed me can do better on pop than work did but that doesn't even matter cos once the video is out, all that matters are streams. That's what will push it for the top it the streams are slaying and pushing it also on iTunes, which I bet it will. All she will need is a performance, probably at billboard awards if she is free and then the song will have big chances for the #1 plus pop radio will start supporting cos that's what they do. If the songs are doing amazing without radio (urban ones) they will start supporting it too. But what I'm saying is we don't need pop to make it smash. Panda is like the biggest example of how it can reign without radio support.

Work went #1 without the video.
You're saying its Spotify performance is what made it #1? Yeah, no.

Of course, but streaming clearly account for more... Which is why Work was #1 this week, despite being #11-#13 on HDS and free falling on radio.

Like how do you not understand that?

Work has strong streaming that is why it was #1. Streaming is its greatest factor.

But BB has recently decreased its influence and now sales are of highest account..but since digital sales are rapidly falling so it doesnt "seem" look like to be that way.

I'm done explaining the same thing over and over to people who want to come across as informative. Gworl, I don't have the time

AnTyway, #42 on iTunes. Slay mama!

Wow, some heated exchanges here.

Anyway, #1 definitely seems far-fetched as it is. That's simply the reality and a result of their deliberate decision to spit the chips between the 2 songs. Unless they'll give up on the strategy and basically sacrifice/hold back KIB, which doesn't seem that likely, the dual release is no doubt going to limit their chances on the H100. Still, I wouldn't say it's necessarily a bad thing. I would love for both NM and KIB to become hits in their respective formats (NM obviously will) and reach the top 10 on the overall chart. Given the circumstances, that'd be a huge success. Exposing the public to 2 songs and having them perform well simultaneously would likely only benefit Anti.

They can just wait for KIB to peak on pop then send Needed Me afterwards.

Maybe even a bit before KIB has peaked since I've seen it happen before. If I remember correctly Hands To Myself, Dark Horse, Love Yourself and The Hills all appeared in the top 50 on pop before the previous singles had peaked.
