I feel like they've got a remix coming... quote me. A discount would be helpful, but WHEN is the question. It's gonna be strange to see how this and Needed Me duke it out, but if they handle it well, it could be amazing.

No features. No remix. Just let this song do what it SHOULD which is become the song of the summer.

I love this song. I wish it was doing better on iTunes. She should perform this on The Voice.

I'd be happy with a Top 20 peak on Pop.

This needs a performance. Needed Me will smash on its own.

I'd have expected this to be a bit higher on iTunes by now, but then again this has been a very quiet release. I think all it would take is one performance for it to start shooting up like a typical Rihanna release. I also wish they held off on the video a bit longer rather than quietly putting it out there before the song had any exposure.

BBMA's is coming, if Riri performs it there this will be a guranteed top ten Now if she had already performed this on the Grammys like how she was originally planned to, this would've been smashing charts by now.

I also agree that she should perform this somewhere to give it the boost it needs. However, my only issue with the BBMA's is that they are still over a month away. If they don't do nothing else until then, and assuming she's indeed confirmed to perform there, then I fear this may stall and start to fall before the ceremony.

Well then she can just perform Needed Me and secure that 15th #1

Its getting such great spin increases, these sales tho I still see it brickwalling outside the Top 10, and these sales won't help it with maintaining these increase.

If she performs it on the BBMAs or something and it still doesn't increase in sales then the public just ain't having it with this song, but we'll see. I won't panic yet but the sales are strangely low

Needed Me is showing all the signs of a big hit breaking out and with the video already out for this and sales still so low, it's just a matter of time until it's completely swallowed up by it. The more rhythmic-leaning Pop stations will start to switch this out for NM since that is clearly connecting with the public better, and gradually more stations will follow.

I jut think we are in a new world of music. Artists are going to start releasing more songs at once and maybe even doing less videos and focus more on touring and other forms of revenue. I think everyone at the label is probably very pleased so far and this song is still showing great signs of being a hit plus there are still tons of hits to come.

Rihanna has done this with her past few albums already though. The main difference now is Pop is starting to embrace some more Urban songs again, so they're more likely to pick up her Urban singles than they were in 2011-2013. This is why it didn't make much sense for her to push two Urban-leaning songs to separate formats at the same time. Both would have been Urban/Rhythmic hits if released separately.

I wonder if this will be another XO/Drunk In Love situation where pop will drop the more pop friendly single in favor of the more popular urban tune.
