I've already accepted the top 15 peak - it's higher than I initially expected it to go. I'm ready for the next single. I get that a VMAs performance could potentially push this higher, but I don't want Ariana to waste such a valuable promo slot on a dying single that needs a discount to keep it from free falling out of the top 30 on iTunes.
Honestly though, I'm only half expecting Ariana to perform at the VMAs. She clearly has no interest in promoting this era - she just seems like she's ready to move on. All I want is Ariana to give Everyday a shot as a single and then she can take a long break to play with her goats and Pokémon until she's ready to be a hard-working pop star again.
