Hopefully this song dont interfere too much with What's My name?.
Am i the only one who think she is releasing too much singles at a time? I mean S&M is gettng released in January with Raining men. Hopefully she doesnt give us anymore singles until late Spring. That will give time for GaGa and Britney to have radio in feb/march and not coincide with them. Hopefully Cheers is released in May. That can be a good summer single choice.

And I would not mind Spaghetti and Meatballs to take over What's My Name?

Its the only big multiformat hit on the album. The other songs are mostly pop oriented releases. Its finally picking up on Pop radio releasing S&M might hurt its chances of going #1.

I see it being bigger internationally. Im not sure if its going to go #1 on the Hot 100. I thought Only Girl was gonna peak at #2 after all those weeks it has been blocked so nothing is for sure when it comes to Rihanna. I hope it helps to keep her album sales afloat at the top of the year because God knows raining men wont do the trick.

But I am still in AWWW about how Only Girl only peaked at #2, I really enjoyed that song, and it seemed like it was getting good air time. But who knows? And tbh it is going to be hard for her to keep her album sales afloat when the New Year comes around. Battle of the Divas will be start soon, and I just can not wait. Katy, Britney, Gaga, RiRi, Katshyt... their will be blood.. lawl

Katy, Britney, Gaga, RiRi, Katshyt... their will be blood.. lawl LOL naw Only girl did go #1. It actually went #1 after What's My name. I said I just thought it wasnt going to reach #1 after it had been bocked so many times but it ultimately fought it out and reach the top spot. S&M will be a hit, theres no denying that but will it be the song to give her the oomph that she needs. The 3rd single is always the deal breaker. look at what Firework did for katy Perry and what Rude Boy did for rated R. The 3rd single sometimes gives us an idea if the product still has legs. Im not talking about worldwide because S&M will be a hit there im worried about the States because she has a hard time selling over here as opposed to other markets where shes a huge seller. As for the competition in the New Year.. it will be interesting to see. I wish bey was releasing a single in Spring as well to make it even more interesting.

It is a great song, and I hope it is the oomph that she needs to get her in the running with Brit, and Gaga. And yeah I never realized that Firework did get Katy the position that she is at now. I think E.T will be a hit, but will ultimately fail. What I am looking forward to see for the new singles would be 1.) Of cours Britney and Gaga 2.) Katshyt and see what she does with her new LP (would love to see Blow as a next single. Lets make it a radio filled with sexual puns)

Anywho, I never really pay any much attention to ke$ha. her new album Cannibal is not doing so well on the charts but i do like her song Sleazy. It has a vibe to it that I sorta dig. As for Rihanna, she made the right choice using S&M for the 3rd single in the worldwide sense but if it was up to me I would have released CKB as the 3rd single. She gave us dance-pop for the 1st, pop/reggae/r&b for the 2nd why not slow things down with a ballad? I like the song S&M its catchy and will more likely do good on iTunes but its not anything groundbreaking. I really love CKB and her first 2 singles better.

I don't think the same can apply here, seeing as OG and WMN are still pretty recent singles released quite closely together.

Hopefully she doesnt give us anymore singles until late Spring. That will give time for GaGa and Britney to have radio in feb/march and not coincide with them. Hopefully Cheers is released in May. That can be a good summer single choice. I definitely agree, I've bitched about this many times. "Only Girl (In the World)" was released near the end of September, and three months later she's on the third single. If she was to continue releasing one song per month, what would happen is that "S&M" would be rising and up to maybe around #40 with a nice bullet, then single #4 would start to be pushed, so half of the stations would stick with "S&M" and take that to the 20's, then they would realize half of the stations had ditched it for single #4, and "S&M" would drop quickly. Meanwhile, "Only Girl (In the World)" would just be dominating over everything else, like an extension of B.o.B and Ke$ha's situations earlier this year. "What's My Name?" would have made high, but then the confused radio stations at whether they should play "Only Girl" since that's higher, or a newer single will make "What's My Name?" fall. So anyway, the radio stations were also starting on single #4, but still giving "Only Girl" massive plays, and moderate plays to "What's My Name" too, so it would never make high, and some stations would probably still have "S&M." In conclusion, everything will flop but the one song that will dominate for the whole era. [/ridiculous essay]

Rihanna is known for releasing alot of singles. GGGB had 8 remember? S&M will probs start picking up in Mid Jau, when WMN? will be peaking on Pop. POP isn't going to touch RM tbh. It's only Urban single, to cater to her Urban fans ( who buy albums ), while S&M does what it does on Pop. I think the singles are going perfectly i agree, i wonder how her albums sales will hold up in the deadest month

This is an horrible song. But, I'm not surprised at all that they're releasing this & "Raining Men'. I'm just waiting to see how long it'll take for her to either re-release this album or make a new one. Shouldn't take them that long. Lol gurl, this era is going amazingly. suck it.

I think the singles are going perfectly i agree, i wonder how her albums sales will hold up in the deadest month Umbrella, Shut Up and Drive, Hate that I Love You, Don't Stop the Music, Take a Bow, Disturbia and Rehab. Which one did I forget? What's My Name will not be peaking in mid-Jan. I'd say late Jan or early Feb. If it makes #1 like a number of posters here think so, it has about 5,000 spins to go. I agree, Raining Men is an urban-only single. Hopefully pop doesn't try to pick it up. What I want right now, is for them to dump "S&M" and focus on taking "What's My Name?" to the top but still keeping "Only Girl" up there, not making it fall quickly. I don't want them to put "S&M" to any form of high rotation or the label to push it until "What's My Name?" has clearly peaked, because 3 songs in high rotation does not work.

If I Never See Your Face Again WMN? isn't going #1 on pop. lol Katy and Ke$ha have those spot until Brit or Avril come hard. Top 5 is what seems like it will go and it isnt far from it. We'll see though.

We'll see though. That doesn't count. I know it was on Rihanna's album, but it's a Maroon 5 song featuring Rihanna. Well, I can still hope like I've done with "Alejandro," "Cooler than Me," "Airplanes" and so many other near-misses. I think there's still a chance, Rihanna is #8 and Brit and Avril's songs don't exist yet. It will definitely get top 5 ("Only Girl" and "Just a Dream" replaced by "Grenade" and "What's My Name?"), I'm hoping for top two at least, but if Katy and Ke$ha and Bruno are too strong :(

Stations need to drop Only Girl now. It did what it needed to do and it feels like it's holding on too long. Only Girl needs to fall, What's My Name needs to peak and then S&M (or whatever) can take over. Save the fourth single until March.

They are going to start slowing down with the single releases.
The only reason why they released WMN? so soon was because they wanted a multi-format hit to generate more album sales which worked imo.
The earliest they will send S&M for adds is late-January, but if WMN? picks up more steam it will more than likely be February. By that time, Only Girl will be recurrent and WMN? would have peaked on all formats.
Who's That Chick may be rising, but radio would easily dump WTC for S&M or could easily play both. (i.e. Only Girl/WMN?)
I highly doubt we will even get an announcement of the fourth single until early May.

There is way too much potential with this album for them to move on from it so soon like they did with Rated R. I think Def Jam will handle this era very similar to the GGGB era and milk it for all its worth.

OG needs to die..like now but it's such a smash. i love it I don't count "Raining Men" as a real single TBH I don't know if I want "Only Girl" to die now. I love the song so much, but it's choosing between it having more longevity or "What's My Name?" and probably "S&M" too having more of a chance. I'd probably go with the latter if I was to be making the decision, so they all have high peaks, but I love "Only Girl"... ^ WTC? isn't doing anything in US. Its doing well in Europe and Australia though. i do hope she slows it down soon. I don't want a re-release tbh From memory, "Who's that Chick?" was the biggest percentage gainer within the top 100 last week. That's a big achievement. Radio would easily dump it for something else like "S&M" when it comes up though.

If they do it GGGB style.... that would be better and probs equal it

'All of The Lights' is coming too. And the radio version is being credited as Kanye West feat. Rihanna. PDs will notice this and it may affect all her other singless on radio.

I think the song with Guetta can live alongside whatever Rihanna has out. It'll probably peak in the 20s on pop radio. But I wonder if there are plans to re-release Loud with that song on there as a new addition? I also wonder if maybe its US release will get delayed until next year?
