OG won't die on me either. It still gives me life every time I listen to it. and I still do on a daily basis.
Still, we need space for S&M like now.
I'm glad OG became such a monster. One of the biggest hits of her career :)

The Rihanna J Cole remix is really cute!! I hope they be smart and use it for Rhythmic airplay.

I think the problem is that Only Girl and Whats My Name just won't DIE on the radio. Especially, OG- I am so sick of hearing that song on the radio---- just play S&M now!!!! I agree with you except about being sick of it lol. I think the problem is they are two songs that have insane longevity. Def Jam should have released Only Girl a month earlier then because that song is not looking to die soon. Hopefully in March it will go recurrent. WMN is a beast. |

this why a 4th single should not be released for a long time. id want OG and WMN off the charts, and S&M peaking or already peaked.

Having OG and WMN released so close together did wonders for albums sales during winter but it's kinda backfiring now, hopefully stations will start dropping OG and WMN? in favor of S&M

backfiring? this single was almost top 50 before it was even announced. Why are people expecting the single to just explode instantly at that when just a few days ago she had 2 songs in the top 5 & one's still gaining? ???

Nicki & Rihanna shot a video for it already. All of the Lights may not be a problem. Depends if she is credited or not. |

I hope they don't stop after this (can't wait to see it smash btw). They should milk this album for all its worth instead of rushing to another era, 'Cheers', CKB, 'Complicated' could all be great singles, especially CKB

Well her label was hailing this album as her Thriller, so if they continue with that, 6-7 singles should happen.

Five singles would be appropriate this era. "Cheers" should be for late spring/early summer. I only expect one more single afterward and no re-release. They are becoming all too common.

I like this, but I don't see anything else from the album being a hit. CKB and Cheers are dreadful. I am so disappointed in the album. The only other songs from the album I like are Raining Men and Man Down, but I don't see either of those being hits. I think a re-release or new album is her best bet. This project was just so forced and rushed. |

Her label never said that. It was one of her A&Rs, Bu Thiam (also Akon's brother) who did. "LOUD" is obviously not comparable to "Thriller" in any way, shape or form.

Exactly, this is a 3rd single from an album that has already been released. |

Yes, this song is doing just fine. People need to stop worrying. If it's still below 40 this time next month, then you should probably start worrying.

We've seen that before, and even though "What's My Name?" started only a couple of weeks after "Only Girl (In the World)," they're both doing extremely well - "Only Girl (In the World)" spent 3 weeks atop and is having amazing longevity, and "What's My Name?" looks to be a multi-format #1 smash. They are fine together. However, the label is trying to already start on "S&M," when "What's My Name?" is still far from peaking, and "Only Girl (In the World)" is still top ten. They should be waiting much longer on it, if they don't want to hurt her current two smashes. And in addition to that, she has her semi-singles, "Who's that Chick?" and "All of the Lights" starting up, plus a lot of recurrent play, particularly on "Love the Way You Lie." This is the problem. They should realize that time off is okay. They could've spent a little more time on "LOUD" to include one extra smash, and then waited for "Only Girl (In the World)" to be top three to adds-date "What's My Name?". Then the same for "S&M," giving an adds date of maybe May. (Remembering that in this case scenario, "Only Girl (In the World)" would be much lower by now than it actually is). "Who's that Chick?" - they should've waited a bit longer, but since it's not a Rihanna single anyway, it's not that big a deal, but still a longer gap would have been better for her and for "Memories." "All of the Lights" - I can't say they should've waited longer, since this is the first legit. (to be) hit off his album, but still, it's too much Rihanna. What they probably should've done is just persisted with "Runaway," "Power" or something else. "Love the Way You Lie" - They should've found a way to kill it off earlier, so that Rihanna has less recurrent play and therefore more room to grow. Either releasing a very strong third single and/or promoting the hell out of "No Love" to help it drop, or just doing some kind of anti-payola. Or, just postponed everything to wait for LTWYL to die naturally. |
