This needs to be sent out to Urban immediately.
She Will has already peaked more or less, and Bruno hasn't sent a single to that format since Just The Way You Are.

Not even "Liquor Store Blues"? :o

I really think they missed the oppurtunity for not sending any of his songs to Urban. "Grenade" reached the Bubbling Under Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and almost entered the top 100. Hell, even "Rolling In The Deep" reached somewhere in the 50s there.

Liquor Store Blues' release was so messed up.I don't think it was sent for adds, despite a video being released & all.

IDK what Elektra was thinking to be honest.

Even Lighters wasn't released to Urban, despite it being a rap song, and getting some plays.LOL.

I thought it was already released and didn't perform as expected.
Good to know it's still yet to be released.

Most Added song on Urban & Rhythmic radio, and 4th overall on all radio formats, and it was only released yesterday.

Music video directed by Antoine Fuqua.

He directed Coolio's Gangsta Paradise, Prince's The Most Beautiful Girl In The World... and the movies Training Day, Shooter, King Arthur and Brooklyn's Finest.

So i'm guessing it's gonna be a 90s throwback/oldschool video.Excited! Glad they didn't go the generic Collin Tilley route.

YES!!!! I really hope this moves his album even more so that he can take the 2nd place spot from Gaga!!! I just want an album where every sales was legitimately priced to be at the top and 2nd place (+ she'll get in internationally)
"Take A Bow"... Rihanna's ONLY ballad to go #1 on the Hot 100 (also topped the R&B Chart)... Great deed for her most epic ballad!!!

But his album is one big joke, I'd rather someone who has put their heart and soul into a record get the 2nd, 3rd spot. It's a music abomination that he even has the third best selling album of the year, seriously. He did get the deluxe $14.99 album to SELL during a recession so I suppose, if you're saying he's deserving because of only the sales then fine, yeah but he is not by any means a deserving occupant. A rap record like Watch The Throne deserves that spot, it's ashame.

Lil Wayne's hype is gone. "Tha Carter IV" is dead.

Wow that video preview is good!!! :o

Such a shame it probably won't do anything for the song in the charts though. Can't believe this song didn't do so well. This song should've been huge, it might be his best song in my opinion!! :x

VIDEO

It's a great video visually, but I just didn't get the message and it's a little boring.

I love the video and the song. I love TC4. Wayne is one of the best rappers alive because he CAN do anything. What he chooses to focus on is just that, but this song and this album are having success.

I hope this pushes the project.

I personally LOVE the video. It's simple yet very effective! :)

This might be my favorite Lil' Wayne single and one of the best Rap/Sung collaborations ever in my opinion! :D

It is... and the song is definitely one of the best rap/sung collabs ever!

And the era is far from dead! He's still selling and is at 2 million. Let's see what he has up the sleeve for the rest of the era.

Outkast, Kanye, Lauryn Hill could do anything WELL. I'm so sick of the mainstream music world buying into Wayne like he's a completely deep, outstanding lyrical genius. It sucks how one of the biggest selling albums of 2011 features lyricism like "Potato on the barrel, pop pop potato salad"
- With that said, Bruno has some stunning vocals that truly make this song, at least Wayne sticks to the narrative.
