Normani’s ‘Fair’ is the Week’s Top-Selling R&B Song

Published: Tuesday 29th Mar 2022 by Rashad

Normani‘s ‘Fair‘ is off to a fair start on the Billboard charts thanks to the power to steaming digital sales!

Details inside:

The latest taste of new music from the Fifth Harmony hitmaker’s highly anticipated debut solo album, reportedly due this summer, ‘Fair’ debuted atop the refreshed R&B digital song sales chart.

Besting the likes of some of today’s biggest R&B hits, the first-week commercial performance of ‘Fair’ makes it the genre’s best-seller this week.

 

Despite the strong debut, which was accompanied by a handsome first-week performance on major streaming platforms, ‘Fair’ failed to crack the Hot 100 (as of time reported).

Premiering at #15 on the Billboard Bubbling Under chart, the miss was due to the breakup anthem’s absence from radio.

Its official launch to the format on April 5, as well as an accompanying music video, is expected to give the tune the boost needed to become Normani’s next charting single.

      Let’s not forget, Camilas “oh na na” didn’t chart with two features last fall. And let’s never forget Camilas “living proof” didn’t chart after a high budget video and 3 major awards show performances 🤣😂

      Where’s “bam bam” this week on the charts?

      • SoNotSorry March 29, 2022

        At least it entered the charts, where is Fair from first day to today? Stop embarassing yourself.

        Living proof and oh na na didn’t though 😉

      • SoNotSorry March 31, 2022

        Who cares? Camila already started her career, Normani will go through the same if she ever release a first album someday.

    Waiting for her to stop trynna be Brandy 2.0 and start being Britney 2.0. I know she’s traumatized from the label trynna make her into that during 5H but gurl… it’s what you’re good at. Do what you excel at and watch the success roll in. Motivation worked BECAUSE of the Britney basketball court scene and the peak Britney/Beyonce choreo. Wild Side worked because of the peak Aaliyah/Britney/Missy choreo. Fair is a good song but we all knew it wasn’t gonna do ish on the Hot 100. You’re not an R&B girl Normani, you’re a pop girl with an R&B edge. Take notes from Bree Runway before it’s too late. We all want to see you succeed but you’re on your 15th minute of mess. Get it together. I’m FR checking for her next single and then I’m done checking for her altogether. And I don’t want that to be the way this story ends but what is it even giving when Tinashe is out here without a machine behind her giving the girls better music, videos and performances? 🤷‍♂️

    • Farrah’s luggage (8k Camila) March 29, 2022

      Agreed. She needs to go the pop route instead of R&B for now

    “the Week’s Top-Selling R&B Song”

    Hunnie, that is not an achievement…

    • Roberta FlackSabbath March 29, 2022

      Normani should just stick her face in dough and make gorilla cookies…but then I doubt those would sell either

      • No March 29, 2022

        Gorilla cookies huh? Not you drinking from the tainted racism well too. Bye…always knew you were ignorant.

      • Roberta FlackSabbath March 29, 2022

        @NO…Trying watching the CLASSIC black sitcom Sanford & Son, where a hilarious black man – Sanford – uses that classic joke I STOLE to insult Aunt Esther, a black woman. Go F yourself in your infested hole.

      • Kix March 30, 2022

        It was a racist joke even when he said it. He was calling a Black woman a gorilla.

      • Roberta FlackSabbath April 1, 2022

        Can I call a white woman, like Delta Burke, a gorilla? Yes, I will. I will also call Normani a gorilla, or would you prefer MANDRILL. Black folk can not be racist against black folk. Don’t be so stupid. You probably one of those gay white men posing as a black woman on this site. TONS OF THEM…

  5. Ismyhalostr8 March 29, 2022

    To be fair. I think everyone knew it was going to miss the hot 100. Her and her label are crazy thinking this was single material. The song goes absolutely nowhere. I didnt wanna be one of those ppl, but im honestly not seeing it for her. She’s had 3 solo songs since 2019. Thats one song a year. 5h ended in 2018. 4 years nd no album. Shes failed to create any buzz. I’d bet a dollar that her album will get pushed back.

    • Clarks0o00ñ March 29, 2022

      “I didnt wanna be one of those ppl, but im honestly not seeing it for her.”

      I’m happy your eyes are opening
      I said it since 2019, normani is never gonna happen. Shes not a star, fast forward to 2022, normani hasnt still happen

      Even after working with all the biggest names normani still cant happen

      List of names normani has worked with

      Max Martin
      Calvin Harris
      Sam smith
      Khalid
      Cardi
      Ariana

      • Farrah’s luggage (8k Camila) March 29, 2022

        Where is bam bam on the charts this week? 🤣😂 where did “oh na na” chart and that had 2 features 🤣😂🤣 where did living prof chart after a high budget video and 3 award show performances 🤣😂🤣🤣😂

      • SoNotSorry March 31, 2022

        Farrah, I’ll say it again, Camila has already started her career and will release her 3rd album no matter what. Normani will go through the same up and down if she ever release a first album someday, she has to take some risks!

  6. SoNotSorry March 29, 2022

    Just to remind some delusional stans, before they come for Camila again :

    Camila is the 22nd artist from who the SINGLES has the most longevity in the pop world (3, 676 weeks) and she’s between Nelly Furtado (3, 573 weeks) and Madonna (3, 678 weeks).

    2 albums out (3rd one on the way),

    1 film,

    A top-ten as solo in her career,

    Last single is charting in the billboard 100 unlike Normani last essai so before you dare to call her a flop, think twice and check your facts because if you call that a flop, what word can we use for Normani? 🤷‍♂️

    Y’all need to stop the hype for nothing, it only hurts that poor girl with high expectations that won’t happen, it’s been 6 years already, no album, no EP, last single out of Billboard so I guess the hype just can’t translate into a succesful direction.

    • Paulo March 29, 2022

      Stop stop stop. Normani’s career not taking off does not change Camilla’s hasbeen status.

      • SoNotSorry March 29, 2022

        Don’t make me laught please, Camila never needed Normani to have a career, 6 years later she’s on the 3rd album while Normani didn’t even release any EP.

      • Paulo March 29, 2022

        Lol I literally said one’s mishaps have nothing to do with the other… Lemme say this slowly so you understand – you are very dumb

    • Farrah’s luggage (8k Camila) March 29, 2022

      Let’s not forget, Camilas “oh na na” didn’t chart with two features last fall. And let’s never forget Camilas “living proof” didn’t chart after a high budget video and 3 major awards show performances 🤣😂

      Where is “bam bam” this week on the charts? 😂🤣

      • SoNotSorry March 29, 2022

        Do you really think you can come for Camila when Normani can’t even enter billboard with her last single? Camila has a career, don’t pretend that Normani has one yet even thought it’s been almost 6 years now. Stop playing the clown and grow up.

    • SoNotSorry March 29, 2022

      And my initial comment never meant that the career of one has to do something with the other, learn how to read first and then we’ll see dumbo 🐘 if i’m numb what are you for not understanding a simple statement? STFU you’re not smart enough to talk that talk.

  7. Farrah’s luggage (8k Camila) March 29, 2022

    I mean, she should’ve released the video the day of release. Oh well. Move to the next song. Let’s not forget, Camilas “oh na na” didn’t chart with two features last fall. And let’s never forget Camilas “living proof” didn’t chart after a high budget video and 3 major awards show performances 🤣😂

    • SoNotSorry March 29, 2022

      It happens, ask Beyoncé, Madonna, Mariah… it happens to everyone at one moment but real artists keep on moving and release material no matter what, it’s called experience and it’s too bad that Normani didn’t understand that. 6 years, Camila has released 2 albums (3rd on the way) and Normani 0… it’s just too bad, she should have release some EP, why not a pop one, a rnb one, a mix of genre and finally an album? If she did that we could be able to say okay, at least she has been creative and worked hard like SZA did and Bree Runway is actually doing. The hype was too high too soon.

    • Clarks0o00ñ March 29, 2022

      Living proof has more streams than wild side

        Bam bam is still on the charts

        Where is fair?
        😂😂

        Normani cant chart solo
        She is a FLOP
        😂😂

        Ur still speaking on Camila, a girl who is about to release her 3rd album, while normani cant even release an EP.
        Do u see the problem with normani stans. Very delusional mentally unwell folks

  8. Paulo March 29, 2022

    I see people blaming the song for this underperformance. No no no, let’s not act like we weren’t all singing its praises 10 days ago. This is on Mani and her team for another messy rollout. Only one performance and no video when they know damn well her visuals have drawn interest at first before radio catches up

    At this rate, just drop the album/EP sis. The more she waits for the perfect single that never happens because they can’t get it together the less interested people are.

    • SoNotSorry March 29, 2022

      Absolutely 👍

    • OnPeriodt March 29, 2022

      Normani and her team suffers from delusions of grandeur. The expectations were HIGH in 2018 and she still hasn’t delivered four years later. I feel sorry for Normani Stan’s. She cares more for fame than her craft.

      • SoNotSorry March 31, 2022

        “She cares more for fame than her craft” exactly what I think too.

  9. SoNotSorry March 29, 2022

    At this point, i think she should forget about a debut album and just drop a first EP. The hype lasted too long in almost 6 years, after all of that we are all expecting a huge impact but it doesn’t happen so maybe it would be great to start all over again with less hype and more work, EP/mixtape because i’m pretty sure the label won’t release any album if they can’t make any profit on it. Drop some EP and when the buzz match the streams/sales you will be able to launch a lead single with a public that will take you seriously. You will have a direction and more experience that you could have by testing the water 1 time per year, already almost 6 now, a decade soon and not enough material. The label won’t waste as much money as they would with an album, go EP.

  10. Clarks0o00ñ March 29, 2022

    Let me remind yall

    Wild side feat cardi b hasnt still crossed 100 million streams after almost 1 year of release

    Chloe bailey have mercy- 100 million streams

    Camila cabello dont go yet-260 million streams

    Do u see the problem?
    😂😂

  11. Clarks0o00ñ March 29, 2022

    Normani fair was written by the same songwriters that wrote and produced justin bieber’s number one hit peaches

    Normani has worked with the biggest names in the business but shes still a FLOP

    Motivation- written by max Martin and ariana Grande

    Wild side- written by satrahh (the same girl who cowrote Camila cabello’s Havana)

    RCA records is gonna slash her budget even more. We love to see it

    All that budget is going to latto, Dina cat and sza. Nothin for miss normani

  12. Clarks0o00ñ March 29, 2022

    The way everybody and their mama has moved on from this girl
    😂😂😂😂

    All those viral tweets and for what?
    Some of these tweets literally have 500k likes 600k likes and for what?

    When normani released this song, she was trending on Twitter for several days but she still tanked.

      • Clarks0o00ñ March 29, 2022

        Gurl, the decade just started
        😂😂😂

        Worry about normani who cant kickstarter her career after 6 years of going solo

  14. Keith March 29, 2022

    Hope she sees success with this single…

  15. Clarks0o00ñ March 29, 2022

    U see what happens when u dont have a fan base

    U see what happens when people are supporting u out of pity and sympathy

    I see what happens when people are only supporting u because they want to see a dark skin girl win

    U see what happens when people are supporting u because they hate Camila cabello

    normani has no real genuine fans
    Nobody likes this girl.
    Nobody likes her music

    I knew the fake support and hype will eventually die out

    Camila cabello on the other hand people genuinely like her music.
    Havana, senorita, my oh my, never be the same, bam bam, crying in the club, liar etc

  16. Nicky March 29, 2022

    A buzz single did that. Stripped down. Butter vocals. No payola. No fake apology. No theatrics. Just beauty, body, and butter vocals.

    Other rat singers can’t relate.

    Remember Camicky released her HAM HAM and entirely missed Billboard. So she asked Ed , the biggest male pop star in the world. and still didn’t go top 20

    You see the conclusion there? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

    • Clarks0o00ñ March 29, 2022

      Atleast Camila can chart solo, normani cant
      😂😂😂

      Wild side hasnt even crossed 100 million streams

    • truthteller March 29, 2022

      Oh so this is just a “buzz single” now? Add this one to the list of excuses as to why Fair has flopped.

  17. Clarks0o00ñ March 29, 2022

    Her delusional stans swore that wild side debuting at number 14 was her power not cardi’s

    Can u imagine
    😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Wild side-95 million streams
    Charted in 5 countries overseas

    RCA record executives must be regretting signing this girl.
    A complete waste of money and resources.

    They are gonna slash her budget even more now. I love to see it.

  18. Honest March 29, 2022

    The top selling song compared to what…lol. The songs under her have been out for months and are running out of steam. She didn’t debut on the hot 100 which I know bruised her massive ego. Normani needed this reality check. Maybe it’ll make her work harder… but honestly time isn’t on her side. It’s been 3 years since Motivation, 4 years since she officially went solo. All the hype, teasing and co-signs announcing her as the next big thing fell flat. How many new(ish) female R&B artists have dropped hits since then? Jhene, Kehlani, Ella Mai, SZA, Summer Walker, Ari Lennox, Muni long!!!! The difference is they grind. They connect with their fan base. Most importantly their asses RELEASE MUSIC consistently. Learn from this Normani.

    • Urg March 29, 2022

      She ain’t never going to learn unless she eats a hugh slice of humble pie and drink some humble juice. She let the hype go to her head when they said she was that b now look at her🙄

      • Honest March 29, 2022

        It’s evident that Normani is in her head a lot. We aren’t getting an album until that HUGE HIT comes. Wild Side coulda done more if she didn’t just drop it and disappear. She’s not Beyonce. She can’t play recluse in this climate. The girls are out here working! Being active on social media, touring, Dropping EP’s and full bodies of work… then random songs in between. I’m afraid that Normani’s time is up….

      • Clarks0o00ñ March 29, 2022

        “She can’t play recluse in this climate”

        Normani is not a recluse, shes just dull and boring with no personality.

        She was a guest judge on rupaul’s drag race and she was so boring and forgettable. Viewers were complaining about how boring she was. She blended into the background as usual. Rupaul and michelle visage have huge personalities and the pushed normani in the background on that judging panel

        This is the same thing that happened when she was in 5th harmony. Camila and the other girls had bigger funnier better personalities and that’s why they shined bright while normani faded into the background.

    • True Tea March 29, 2022

      Hun Normani is releasing R&B music the ppl can listen too years from now. All the other stuff is Irrelevant. You guys are so invested in Normani, you’re completely ignoring Camila.

      Camila’s career need a boost. Her titties didn’t help, so where are the fans now?? Oh that’s right, they’re here talking about Normani, lol

      We LOVE to see it!

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 March 29, 2022

        Yet it’s still not helping her chart.

      • SoNotSorry March 31, 2022

        We wouldn’t talk that much about her if there hadn’t been so many stans that kept on claiming that she was way more talented that Camila and that she was about to put her in the shadows quickly. The truth is, we already knew what was about to happen because it was obvious for musical lovers like us, we’re not just listening to music, we are passionate and we use our brain. It never was a question of hate, I personnaly don’t hate Normani, I don’t hate somebody that I don’t know but when strangers start to insult and drag down an artist you enjoy and everyone admit is talented, it creates a nervous climat. What is the most sad is to see so many people endorsing Normani in the wrong way just because she’s black and it has to be about sympathy. They can’t use the same argument about endorsing black female like there were none, it’s false, Sza, Summer Walker, Ciara, Beyoncé, Janet Jackson and the list goes on and on, that “you don’t like her because she’s black, we need to help black artists to emerge so let’s be nice no matter what she’s doing” no… it doesn’t work like that.

  19. True Tea March 29, 2022

    Congrats Normani!

    Camila’s entire career is dwindling. Your work is done boo. At this point…it’s all about the 💰hunty. Two birds w/ one stone.

    We LOVE a multi talented b*tch. The haters are seething as usual, lol

    • Eve Liplock March 29, 2022

      Who are you fooling? Yourself? 😂😂😂

      • True Tea March 29, 2022

        Go boost Camila’s career hun. It’s dwindling day by day.

    • SoNotSorry March 31, 2022

      3 albums, 1 film, 22nd artist to have the pop singles with the most longevity in the world. Many certifications, a solo top ten hit, just tell me where Normani is at this point? 6 years and who is where? It’s because of people like you that this girl is in such a bad position, you hype her too much by trying to drag down an other succesfull one that already took chances and started a career and it goes like for too long but it clearly doesn’t help Normani at all. 6 years to talk that talk and see who is where and what has been done by this time, do you understand?

  20. Normani SUCKS!!!!! March 29, 2022

    At this rate TRENCHES will drop before this høe album lmao

    • True Tea March 29, 2022

      No one cares about Trenches, whether it drops or nah. Monica’s 90’s music will always overshadow anything after 2003.

      • Monica Stan March 29, 2022

        B**** Monica is a whole legend. Keep her name off your ashy fingers trick. Worry about Normani who struggling to drop her debut album 4 years later. Focus on THAT! Stale , molded tea

      • True Tea March 29, 2022

        Yes Monica is a Legend but her music after 2003 never had the same impact as her 90’s music. And “Trenches” will be no different.

        When “Trenches” drop, let a b*tch know since it’ll remain underground after it’s release.

  21. truthteller March 29, 2022

    Anyone who wasn’t deluded or suffering from some other type of mental illness saw this coming. This just proves that Wild Side was a minor hit because of Cardi B and a raunchy video. Nobody is interested in Normani on her own, especially a “stripped down” one. I guess we won’t be seeing that album anytime soon.

  22. Clyderetha March 29, 2022

    It’s evident that Normani is in her head a lot. We aren’t getting an album until that HUGE HIT comes. Wild Side coulda done more if she didn’t just drop it and disappear. She’s not Beyonce. She can’t play recluse in this climate. The girls are out here working! Being active on social media, touring, Dropping EP’s and full bodies of work… then random songs in between. I’m afraid that Normani’s time is up….

    • Honest March 29, 2022

      Why did you copy and paste my comment? Get an original thought of your own weirdo…🤔

  23. Oprah March 29, 2022

    Y’all p**** ass h*** done went and made Normani the face of dark skin black women. Held her to an unrealistic standard and now she’s STUCK!!!! Afraid to release that album because the singles aren’t giving what she wants to be gave. After all these years she should have an EP out. I never encountered so many excuses for an artist in my life. It’s not the label, it’s not her management, it’s not her team…. It’s HER. Indie artists are pushing their music on SoundCloud but she’s acting like releasing an album is rocket science. Normani girl we over you.

  24. James Johansson March 29, 2022

    I think she has the potential, but at this point it’s unlikely that she will release an album anytime soon. She should have release the album when Wild Side was released as a single. I’m guessing that she’s releasing singles to see what the public likes. She needs to release the album with an uptempo Pop single maybe this will help her!!

  25. Iggy Azalea Rap 👑 March 29, 2022

    This song has been on REPEAT over and over and over great song this was expected more like a buzz single and yes they have videos as well the next single will be the more commercial one

    • Honest March 29, 2022

      Everything Normani released at this point is a “buzz single” …. Still no album. Such a shame.
