Well I really think it's a great song and a great video. I really like that she didn't do another Loud-Talk That Talk-Unapologetic-esque "mainstream" era and is taking some risks now,

Its production sucks, and she repeats ''breathe out, breathe in, american oxygen'' like 1000 times, it won't work as it did for ''we found love in a hopeless place''.

Too bad that even 45S Will never reach Applause sales. Her album sales are doomed.

​What are the sales of Applause?

Its MV is way better than 45S, and so is the song itself. So excited for R8 since it's building up to be her most unique yet after albums with guaranteed hits like Only Girl, WFL, and Diamonds. It's pretty much like Rated R when it comes to breaking the expected from her.

this song would b better without that constant swirling sound its so distracting to me like wtf lol 

 

why does she have 3 singles in like 6 weeks r they all performing poorly? 

​45S is on the way down the charts after already selling over 1.6 million in the US alone. At this rate, it's guaranteed to pass 2M by end of the second quarter of this year. Not a smash like her previous leads, but it's a decent hit.

The 2nd single on the other hand is turning to be a chart failure. In its third week, BBHMM sold less than 70k after its first two weeks of selling more than 100k. That's a bad sign, and I assume that ultimately led to the release of American Oxygen as the 3rd single. Like already mentioned, this quick jump to the 3rd single is comparable to the situation Judas and TEOG had in 2011, except this song is not a guaranteed hit.

Oh my god, big mess ever.

Her ARTPOP era, really.

it's already on FLOPDAL since forever, and only now on iTunes BIG BIG BIG mess.

​No ARTPOP is a success compared to this. This is Riri's Rebel heart era lol

​At least they filmed a video for Judas!

​They killed a video for BBHM too. American Oxygen was filmed last fall. BBHM was just filmed a week or two ago.

​I agree with everything you're saying completely. Very accurate :)

Only thing... I don't think the intention was for BBHMM to be a #1 hit... I think they just wanted to release something for the urban crowd too.

Why can't she release a song that has a chance of being a big hit? :awkney: 

 

Why does she keep releasing songs so late in the tracking week?
