I was thinking that too, BUT didn't billboard just cut back the amount of influence Streaming has on the Hot 100 not too long ago, due to it growing so fast?
But maybe within the next 2-3 weeks a lot of things will happen and y'all won't talk about a "sabotaged era" anymore.
Also I don't think Rih will wait for the HOME "era" to be finished to release R8 or "start promoting" or whatever. If so she wouldn't have started the era yet.
The Song could easily be #2 this week, and as long as it continues climbing I'm ok with that, her songs usually take a whole month to reach Number One anyway sometimes longer
