but i LOVE how she always finds a way to sabotage herself. If this came out on a Friday, she easily could've debuted at #1

Not necessarily tho, she clearly wanted the hype of the Superbowl.

sabotage?? this is so impressive even with just 4 days of tracking!!

tbh I wouldnt be surprised if the Hive found a way to make it #1 bc the sales & streams for the song has been actually crazy

Well the song is not showing any signs of stalling and radio will surely show some support in the upcoming weeks. I think it will eventually end up going #1 - unless LG7 lead blocks it next week 

Spoiler

Surprise dropping self-titled on a Friday before they changed the schedule? Not putting Lemonade on Apple Music or Spotify for ages? That woman does not care about getting #1's.

so why did she drop instrumental & acapella versions of Texas Hold 'Em on the 1st week??

[Snorlax 6,162]

Unfortunately I think the song will peak at #2

I think it’s about what it deserves. The song is fine. It sounds like it belongs in a car commercial.

never. artists drop them just to boost their performance on the charts.

I don't think she cared as much about getting a #1 as much as the artist who was the lead credit on the song cared about getting one, therefore asking her to do a feature to boost an already existing single up the charts. Maybe if they'd been the original versions I could agree with you, but in both cases the remix only happened specifically to push the already released single up.
