The only song I enjoyed the most was "Towards The Sun" which isn't even on R8. They should have seen where that could have gone.

To be fair party in the USA was a bit hit there , idk this for sure but I assume Empire State of mind and California gurls did well there too But to be honest, those are way better tittles, because Miley was partying in the USA, Empire State of mind was the typical song about a city, and California gurls, well that was about girls from California. The tittle of this song is a little ridiculous because American oxygen is exactly the same that in the rest of the world. There's no distinctive particularity of O2 molecules in the USA that made them different from the O2 of the rest of the world. I know for a song or poetry you take the images beyond the words, but this one falls flat HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHHHHAAH Gurl byeeee

Seriously, the title of the song? Now we're just grasping at straws to understand why this isnt a success overseas (or in the US for that matter). It just isnt a distinctive song. No, not just the title...the song / video seem to focus on American problems and current social issues. I wasn't sure how well that would resonate for people who aren't living here. Hence the question mark in my post.

It would resonate just fine if the song was great.

Way off topic, but its been bugging me for several years so I gotta say it. I finally realized who Rihanna reminds me of: Tia Dalma from Pirates of the Caribbean.

I thought the same thing the first time I saw that movie! And yes, this is definitely an official single. A poor performing one thus far, but a single nonetheless.

American Oxygen got 17 adds on Pop radio. 99/186 stations (53% of the panel) have added the song in 4 weeks. :)

I was hoping to like this after her SNL performance but even that didn't help. This is coming from someone who is Always excited for new Rihanna music. The best part was watching the background video of the performance. Sorry Rihanna but this song is a dud.

Since this is obviously a dud I wonder what will happen now. Will things go quiet for a little? maybe back to the drawing board to drop a late summer surefire smash?

Things have already been quiet for a while, lol. For all we know it was always the plan to throw out a few singles and then come back later when she's ready to release a full album. The crickets have been chirping for so long now, we wouldn't know the difference. If the lack of reaction to AO concerned them they should have sent something out...a month ago? My god this song has been out longer than it seems.

I hope so, that would be the best thing to do. They definitely shouldn't put another single out until BBHMM is long gone. Its gaining momentum again on Rhythmic and Urban so that should be until around the end of June. I say wait and release a new song in August. Get Ester's ass on the pen and get Stargate to work their magic and it'll be like none of this ever happened. I respect the Queen for going outside the box but bae, you've proved your point and as much as I love every song you've put out thus far, radio doesn't. So you know what to do. :)

I'm sorry I haven't follow this Rihanna era, but was BBHMM send to radio? I don't really like so much Rihanna, but it's not good to see someone fail, there might be a lot of reasons but I hope she can recover and if she can't, hope R9 kick ass

Some other poster may remember but I think it may have had a 1 day deal at CHR which many here thought was a waste.

Would they potentially shelve this album? She will just choose a different crop of songs since she's recorded a ton of tracks.
