It's not all about charts with me, which is why I don't see the need for TNISY becoming a single.

I personally like TNISY. You don't want it and that's your opinion. And that's fine.

But it's not about our personal opinion. It IS about the charts, and republic will make sure it's a single. She needs to bring in the sales WW. And her hip-hop stuff won't do it. And plus Nicki seems to want it as a single.

Αnt

Yeah I can picture 10 singles I mean we already got 4 before the album dropped

Like now. She needs to handle FM right. Like Bey needs to be in the video and hopefully they do a performance together (will have to be BBMAs)

If it was about the charts they wouldn't have allowed PNP to be the lead single. This era is more built on quality & not chart toppers.

A lot can happen in the next few months & just cause Nicki may want it as a single for now doesn't mean she will later on.

Are they ever going to fix the Anaconda-instrumental on the deluxe thing? I want to buy the physical copy but I want the real Anaconda, not the instrumental.

I think it's fixed now. Target said 6/1.

TNISY would be a Va Va Voom-sized hit at most.

Thanks!

My friend bought it for Christmas and it had the instrumental, so I wasn't sure.

I'm so happy that this is coming out of another barb mouth. Because myself saying it over and over is redundant and I just got tried of it.

Ugh. I've been trying to reply to Robby's post for awhile now and I just figured that the best to say what I was gonna say is:

Nicki definitely isn't chart-obsessed and, yes, this era has been full of quality, but I don't think that means that you can't release a song like "The Night Is Still Young". She's a businesswoman who has a product (album) she is trying to sell and, luckily, she is such a multi-dimensional artist who can sell that product in more ways than the average rapper or pop star could. She wouldn't just be releasing the song to get a pop hit but instead releasing it in an attempt to market her product, and even herself, to a new audience.

And that's just one reason why she would be releasing it, if she does. If she released it around the same time as the European tour, it'd be great promotion for both the album and the tour plus she could actually perform it on television there without looking awkward af performing a song alone without the featured artist (i.e. with Feeling Myself, GOYK since Ariana will be in the US, etc.) It's also a pretty safe song that, if she does any endorsements or tv spots, she can use it in there.

tl;dr: I'm just trying to say that Nicki knows what she is doing and, if she makes the song a single, she definitely has a number of reasons behind releasing it as a single... It isn't just about getting a hit single; it's about just reaching an audience who could potentially end up buying the album.

IttyBittyNicki

Buy A Heart, Favorite, Feeling Myself, GOYK, TB, FDA and/or WSM for singles.

Win Again and Shanghai would be nice too.

She doesnt need to release TB because its already getting plenty of spins. I dont think TNISY should be released becausr pop radio doesnt spin black artists.

The same audience who bought RR?

I respect your points because they're pretty accurate but we all know pop fans are fickle & the sound of music has changed greatly since 2012. I guess my question is, would TNISY achieve any of the things you mentioned? It's not even a fan favorite or a track that non fans are obsessing over.

Aatthew

Shanghi gonna get that Did It On 'Em/Come on a Cone tour video treatment I hope.

Win Again is just gonna remain a fan favorite. Can't see her doing anything with it besides paying it dust come the next eras and say how much she doesn't like it.

So much wrong with this post.

YR.

The Night song will NEVER be released, if it gets a release it won't sell 50k copies

It's the second highest album track on Spotify, after FM.

That's kinda a dramatic statement.

Pop radio would probably spin TNISY, but I don't think it'd go Top 10 on the format, maybe Top 20.

It's really not that catchy imo. I mean, it's a decent song, but I don't think it'd do that well.

Some people think Pop = guaranteed WW smash hit!!1!

I disagree. There's a reason why Dark Horse was bigger than Birthday. They're kinda comparable to Get On Your Knees and TNISY.

Yes, the sound of music has changed greatly since 2012 but more so in the United States. Europe is still enjoying dance music as is the rest of the world so that's why I think it'd be a good single during the European tour. The song has a lot of potential imo, but like I said... It doesn't have to become a hit for it to work its magic.

It's just about presenting yourself in a different light to an audience that may not have heard that you have an album out or may not have enjoyed your past singles and *suddenly* they fall in love with you and realize the album isn't as bad as they may have previously judged. It won't be millions of people, but it'll be more than not trying at all.

Nicki lacked so much balance with her music and image last era which is why it suffered and didn't push 5m WW or whatever number she wanted lmfao. In comparison, she is now in a completely different place and, regardless of whether or not it becomes a hit if released, it is about just trying.

Releasing fan favorites just because they are fan favorites isn't something Nicki is gonna do, she's a business woman and she realizes that it isn't about trying to make your fans happy all the time. If so, she would have canned Anaconda so quickly and look at what she would've missed out on...
