Rihanna's 'Friend of Mine' fails to debut on Global Spotify chart

[Chromanne 1,170]

I'm not surprised, the song is horrendous. Not just the song, even the animation for the music/lyric video looks a bit dated

I don't remember what Lift Me Up debuted with but what a downgrade to go from that song to this. Even Sledgehammer had an edge to it and was a great song, this is just a random demo that got extended for a remix.

It reminds me of that oddly put together instrumental that someone made, when GaGa sang "Born This Way" chorus at the VMAs. We didn't had the actual song at the time, so somebody put some piano and sampled those vocals, and extended it into a "full track". It wasn't horrible, but you could tell it was a rough fan remix, and not an actual song . 

This Rihanna song feels exactly like that, but much worse. And it had 3 writers .

Beyoncé, Katy, Ariana, Lorde, Lana del rey, ed sheeran, The weekend, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone feat morgan wallace AND NOW Rihanna.

It looks like only Gaga - and the casuals viral sensations who will last 4 months - can get a hit nowdays :eek: 

Let's not talk too soon because when Rihanna will release the lead single of her own album her numbers will be much higher

I actually kinda enjoyed it  But I agree that this doesn't feel like a full song, more like a remix meant to tease the actual song. It's pretty obvious not a lot of effort was put into this.

I don't have anything to say about the song  but what's up with the kerning on the cover?

Not to compare, but curious how it did compared to Happy Mistake? Does anyone have its debut numbers 🙏

I thought it had more writers? and was it this one?

a 3:25 second song having a 50 second intro is so funny to me actually
