JUSTIN’S fans bought song. OUR fans bought this song (never more than four copies each, AS RULES STATE). y are ride or die morf**kers and i thank god every day that i have m in my life. t just when y fight for us to win (even when i ask m t to as i did this week) but because y’re some of greatest people i kw. sales count for more than streams. u can t discredit this as hard as u try. to anybody that is displeased with ir placement on chart this week or who is spending ir time racking ir brain thinking of as many ways as y can to discredit hardworking women (and only women for some reason.....), i ask u to take a moment to humble yourself. be grateful you’re even here. that people want to listen to u at all. it’s a blessed position to be in. i’ve had a lot of “almost number ones” in my career and i never said a goddamn thing because I FEEL GRATEFUL TO EVEN BE HERE. TO WANT TO BE HEARD AT ALL .... and you should feel that way too. congratulations to all my talented ass peers in top ten this week. even number 3. 🥰 and thank u to @billboard for this hor. and thank u to everybody who helped us raise a lot of money for a very important cause this week. love u all a lot."
