I wish people who dislike Tough would stop presenting it as a flop just because they dislike it.

Omg this 

I love Tough and people are stuck in 2014 when everyone was basically toxic towards UV

Right??? Like, hate the track all you want, honestly. No problem at all! Loathe it.

 

But the constant criticism of this single based on "poor performance" and "flopping" automatically discretis anyone who says so..

 

We're lucky Tough got Lana back on the radio and the Billboard hot 100 when none of her last three records did. NONE. Not one single charted.

 

Tough has certainly fulfilled its purpose for this year, and like it or not, it did really well as far as LDR singles go. It's still doing 366,000 streams on Spotify daily, which is two times more than Snow on the Beach,  three times more than what OB and AW are doing, and ten times more than The Grants. Also, 13 times more than Arcadia. Meanwhile, Blue Banisters (the single) is getting a measly 23,000 streams per day, and White Dress even less, which means Tough is doing about 16 times better.

 

So, again, diss Tough all you want. But if you're calling that track a flop, what does that make her other singles this decade? Get real.

Also, youtube is full of Tough reactions by people who mostly listen to Quavo and never heard of Lana, so thanks to Tough it was a first "Lana" for a lot of them!

Exactly. And it garnered 19 million views there.

 

For comparison with her last MVs:

 

Candy Necklace: 4.9m

Lost at Sea: 2.1m

Blue Banisters: 7.3m

Arcadia: 10m

Summertime Gershwin: 4.8m

White Dress: 13m

LMLYLAW: 8.7m

 

Basically, Chemtrails is the only MV off her last three records that did better than Tough on YouTube, and y'all call this a flop.  Just stop.
