Is it fair to say Summer Sixteen flopped as a single?

[L&HH]

Was this meant to be a single? I thought it was just one of those tracks he releases just because. He's been doing that alot these past couple years. Some of them catch on, while others don't

 

[UpAndComing]

Something seems off. Maybe he isn't as passionate about making music anymore.

Yeah his ghostwriter isn't passionate about making music anymore

 

[Osmosis]

It's one of his worse songs.. Needs to go back to the TC/NWTS style and leave the Quentin parodies alone

 

[OG Talk]

Wait until the summer.. Particularly things like the NBA Finals if the Cavs rematch against the Warriors..Or the Summer Olympics story lines in Rio..

This song is tailor made to go mainstream based off the hook..

If it ain't a flop how did a lead single turn to a 'street single' to an 'appetiser'

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

I really liked this song but I can't lie it got old fast

I remember reading that this album would have a heavy dancehall influence so I'm intrigued.

Wait until Golden State starts getting closer to the Chip. "Back to Back" will be bigger than it is now.

 

[Pool_Shark]

Ehhh chart performance doesn't mean much. Em always does good on the charts with his trash ass music

 

[Da King]

Meek shut it down quick when he dropped the diss the next day, and track was hella corny that only cacs fukked with

 

[Music Fiend]

I just don't hear any buzz about it compared to other Drake singles? shyt just kinda came in went....

Or am I wrong and everybody is out there bumping that song heavy?

it didnt flop. song still bumps inb the club and hoes know all the words and twerk to it in "back to back"/0-100 fashion. it wasnt as big of a song, but it def wasn't a miss

Yep.. Drake is really playing chess with some of these songs people think are throwaways...
The moment Hotline Bling dropped I pictured marketing departments for cellphone companies racing to throw a check at him....T Mobile won the bidding war..
