But...what about FFS?! She does know that releasing You Da One a month after WFL caused it to flop right? Although this may appear on R8 (most likely as a bonus track), this is not for R8 as FFS is. This is for a movie for which I suspect the promotion will be done by late April or so. I'd say the big promotional push will still be for FFS and upcoming singles from R8. Besides, I think the two songs are quite different that they could climb without hindering one another too much :)

FFS should peak in a few weeks because it's exploding so fast. Heres to hoping that they don't get trigger happy and let a good song go to waste ;)

Not here for this either. She's 0-2 this year for me.

I doubt this is even getting a real push at radio anyway.

Underwhelmed. Don't like "FourFiveSeconds" either. This is definitely the least I've been anticipating a new Rihanna project(s) since her first album.

I loved this on 1st listen. She's definitely experimenting this time around and I can't wait to see what else she has in store.

FFS is the lead from R8 and this is the lead from the HOME soundtrack, released a month after FFS. Rumour has it she's performing this at the Brits tomorrow Apparently she'll be performing a song from R8 written by Prince that she wants to be a single...

Better than "FourFiveSeconds", but this still isn't good. *sigh*

LOL since when is The Sun a super legit source? And besides, neither Rih, her management, nor the Brits have issued any official statement regarding the whole situation. What if she was never slated to perform there in the first place? Most of the "news" about the Brits were only speculation, rumours, and stans creating dream promo plans such as tour announcement after the Brits or at a red carpet interview, lmfao. I'm not believing any of that tbh. It would be a great promo opportunity, sure, but it's not the end of the world or her career. She'll have other appareances in the future. I'm sure.

Well if this was true, must say it was strangely handled. However, nobody knew Kanye was attending so if he is that's VERY last minute addition too.
I just wish they promoted FFS in the UK as it's #2 on iTunes..

The fact that the awards are going to be streamed on Youtube would really benefit her, but at least the song is already on Spotify :) The truth is that no one ever really confirmed she would be performing there, at least not Rih, RocNation, or the Brits themselves so I take everything regarding this situation with a grain of salt, haha!

According to the Daily Mail, Rihanna is "pulling out" and shall be replaced by a Kanye West...

Weak. Maybe this 2-year break wasn't good for Rihanna at all.

Hopefully this comes and goes. I really like it, but I don't want anything interfering with 45s.

I heard this today. It's cute, nothing amazing. Just like a family movie soundtrack song should sound. Won't do a whole lot chart wise. I still don't get why everyone is freaking out. You'd think this was the first time a movie has had an official song. A quick Google search shows that both are equally acceptable.

I really enjoy this song, I hope it gets in the Top 10 at radio! I heard this on the radio a few times the day of it's release too. :)
