Again with you using Black people to silence other black people. I also peeped that you did not deny that you were non-black.
Have a good day sir.
Your name is "Tree-Hugger" and you joined a Black forum in 2021 and you're questioning me? All because I refuse to think Bruno Mars is this "problem" you are making him out to be? And that is, Miss. Not Sir.

Carry on.

Sir,
I’ve been on this forum longer than you. Move around.

The way how he is pulling out all of the gimmicks and Atlantic airplay payola and his ass still ain’t able to have the number one spot

Now he has Anderson Paak writing out essays on Instagram

Lil Nas X, Drake and Justin Bieber ain’t have to do all of that begging, and their recent songs hit number one

The public is saying no to Bobby Womack impersonators

That song cranks. And I play it a lot. It'll get there. It's one of the only songs in the DMV that can play on pretty much all of the major stations. That. Is. My. Jam.

No, the sound is not the issue (why are y'all acting like the song cascaded down the charts after a week); he's holding steady in the Top 5 after a month, so people LOVE the song (including myself). Most of the songs that went #1 this year did so off of gimmicks & heavy press (Lil Lucifer X), controversy (Trashi B), or massive payola (that Olivia chick, Dr@ke & JB). If they went #1 it would be the most organic #1 of the year...lol

He & Anderson need to push the song harder if they want a #1; they are super close to it. Had it not been for Up a few weeks back & that scissoring mess on the Grammy's they would've had it. They were only a couple of points away @ #2 with Driver's License also on their asses.

BRUNO is acting like the song is cascading down. The fact that he’s complaining shows he’s insecure with the way the song is charting.

Again, I thought the song was beautiful but considering he’s already done other songs with this same style, it’s time for HIM to switch it up.

You can’t keep doing the same things in 2021 you did in 2018 and expect the same success. It’s too much competition even if it’s trash.

My generation allowed culture vultures to get to the top of every chart and allowed them to hit milestones and get accolades in our genres.

It’s our fault we got Bruno, Iggy, Eminem (who was the so called #1 rapper smh), Macklemore, etc.

This new generation is built different, though. Bruno and Iggy are not going to have smash hits in 2021.

Bruno really shot himself in the foot. He could have kept it cute after uptown funk but he made the active decision to assign himself as a tribute artist who remakes nostalgic music from the past. It’s sad bcz he is vocally talented and he used to be so well liked. I’m embarrazzed for him

Well, I love the song-and will be happy to play it over and over again-does YouTube count in those totals? (And I think he's joking like he usually does when he's supposedly 'sad' about it not being number one.)
Takes me back to my teenage years of 70's sexy soul-and I can seamlessly go from that to a Smokey Robinson playlist-and others.

Much better than the last stuff-too 'New Jack Swing-y" for my taste. And I miss Phil-know nothing about them personally, but certainly liked their camaraderie. They seemed liked brothers.

He shouldn't worry about always hitting number one. It is a good song and probably will be on the charts for a while- another font called it a "slow burner". I see this song as being a classic song played at cookouts, wedding receptions, b-day parties for years to come. Even it it doesn't hit number one on the main chart - I think it is still a success.


Oh he acting like a little b*tch and not returning Anderson's calls????? Wow. Sounds like he is emotional and about the shelve the entire project. Wow.

They’re both not sexy enough to pull off such a song. The song sounds so fake u would think it’s just a cover. A lot of these songs leave such a bad taste in my mouth because u know damn well they singing to non-black chicks while advertising the song as “black soul”. Therefore I’ll see myself out.

OMG! These vultures know no shame. They need to go find some ideas from their own cultures and stop feeding off of Native Black Americans/ADOS.

I liked the song at first. But, I haven't given it a listen since. He just not progressing as an artist, he's just jacking the past with no creativity of his own.

He is.
There are a lot of black artist that are more talented than Bruno. Weekend ain’t one of them.

Who Justin Bieber?

Even if you aren't a Fan of the Weeknd, you can't deny that he's talented. Blinding Lights has an 80s sound, but still sounds new.

Peaches is a dope record. Justin Bieber is one of the few white men that LSA hates for whatever reason... it’s probably because he doesn’t date black women.
No, it’s because he is on video singing “one less lonely n*****” and laughed about it, while being put on and mimicking Black teen male artists (Usher, Chris Brown). Don’t rewrite history and make it a “black woman” problem, because a lot of Black girls were fans of his when he did that.

He also has been shown time and time again to be an asshole to his fans and a cracked out weirdo.

Even if the song don’t reach #1 it will have longevity.

I wouldn't be surprised it was certified diamond (in about five years)

They are just playing around. They are not being serious. At. All.

Lol. Yeah they're just kidding around. They like pulling "twitter stunts" (i.e. play fighting or begging Grammys to perform when they probably knew 6 months before they were booked.)

I like the song. I follow each member's individual account and Silk Sonic. I notice a lot of posts promoting Bruno doing things, as though he's the only person in the group, and the various releases of Leave the Door Open - from the selling of the live set to the CD. I'm not sure why they are dragging this out. They should just do more performances to spread the good news of the song and then come on out with the album. They could do a great IG live set, too.

Bruno mars’ insta kept popping up on my feed promoting the song yesterday.

I like Bruno Mars generally but this just comes across so desperate!

Why is he even expecting a song like that to go nr1 in this day and age?

Even if it isn’t #1 it’s got a lot of people excited about the album. And really are people playing 70s throwbacks on the radio? Nothing else in pop sounds like it so #3 is an accomplishment imo.

If he was taller and not a libra I’d have him on my wish list lol. But in this current climate gimmicks and stream parties get you number ones. Although I have yet to hear this song on the radio.

Lil Nas X just put out a music video. He has no airplay payola, no vinyls, no Grammy performances or Fortnite whatever on his song. People are just latching onto his song because they are into it. The fact that Bruno Mars performed his song at the Grammys while still not being able to have the number one spot is an indictment of the Grammys to be honest
But Cardi’s song went number one because of the Grammys and Bruno’s rose as well. Only one song can be number one each week.

There's a twitter handle who is an obvious insider and is ALWAYS right who said that the Silk Sonic album (which has a handful of songs) is being released this year... which makes sense because Bruno and Anderson, while they have been working together since 2017, didn't seriously get into the studio until the pandemic. Then in 2022, Bruno has a solo album coming out (that he's been working on for years and is nearly complete). Then in 2023/2024, the Disney Project he's been working on.

So, if this is all true (which I have no reason to doubt it based on who posts these things), it's going to be a long few years for those who cannot stand Bruno.

And supposedly, the solo album will be Pop/Rock.

This just made my day. Idc I love all Bruno’s albums but since the Finesse remix all of his singles have been a miss to me. I hope he goes back to pop/rock so his haters can stfu. Most of these same people support way less talent cultures like both the Justins, etc but Bruno is the problem.

I like "Leave The Door Open." It seems that he and Anderson are joking around. The song is doing well enough. #1 on Billbaord Adult R&B Airplay. Top 10 Spotify Global and is gaining airplay in every format it's playing in. Over 100 million plays on Youtube.
