Based off first week streams, where do we see this going on the Hot 100 (if at all)?
Streaming is all we have, so it will be at the #80 - 90 range.
Bitch I'm Madonna debuted somewhere in that region (or a bit lower), also without airplay and without significant sales, but I think at least 60 - 65% of Ciara's views are US streams, which didn't apply to Madonna by any means.

Urban radio is such a mess.
I looked at these stats the other day. Not only that but some of these songs took months to get where they are. RnB is fading sadly, and artist like Ciara don't appeal to the more mature crowd enough to gain on Urban AC

Urban AC support is so dusty though
You can't chart using Urban AC stats. And I agree, R&B is dying on Urban. It's so sad. Maybe Ciara was right to jump towards pop.

Anyways, a ATRL member is setting something up (i'm not exactly sure what whether it be a page or just a schedule) so all of us know how to request DLWML and when to promote and some other stuff. So stay tuned to that and clear some time to help out if you want this song to smash. It will be focused mostly on pop formats.

No, cause urban is starting to come back on pop, so if she had come back with an urban mid / uptempo with crossover appeal, kinda like 2 On / Post To Be / Don't Tell Em / I Don't Mind, she would have slaughtered everyone.

Not true or Worth It (which has more pop appeal than all those songs you listed) would have went Top 10 by now.
If Ciara went Self Titled pt2 (which is the only direction she most likely would have went in other than the pop one we have now with Jackie), she would be in the same position as those other R&B girls.

"DLWML" is right along the lines of those songs. It's catchy summery Urban Pop banger.
She needs a big feature on a SCANDOLOUS remix. Please let Drake get on this Ci!

She would have snathced a top 20 hit which is better than what we had with I Bet and DLWML
At the end of the day, I completely disagree with the direction she took (and I said it long before the sales came in), but I love DLWML and I'm always here for Cici no matter what. I just hope she milks what she has. The album is pop so she should actively try to cross over.
Performing LIVE on Kelly & Micheal August 10th. Let the promo begin.
Epic is doing an incredible job with this single tbh. August 10th is a Monday. If they send the song to pop the following day, they will get major credit from me
Can't believe she's already about to hit 7 million.
