I too would like to know that. She's not that of a huge digital seller. I don't see Born This Way type of sales, enough to propel it to #1. It'd be a pleasant surprise just for the hell of it.

Rihanna already #63. How long did it take to gaga to reach #1? 3 hours, if I'm not mistaken.

Wait a second, that Rihanna song is out already?
Very weird strategy
But hurrah for Calvin Harris! Is he credited?

i guess they don't care about getting a #1 right out of the gate...
i'll be very surprised if this sells 350k in 4 days.

This needs to sell at least 350k to beta MLJ. I don't see it happen in 4 days. I guess her team didn't want a #1 debut on Hot 100.

Top 10 on iTunes: Maroon 5/Adam Levine x2 LMFAO x2 Rihanna x2
also the gap between 11 & 12 is pretty big.

i don't think it's going to debut at #1 tho as it should be #1 on iTunes already, I think. But for sure a top 10 placement, and maybe top 5.

I am going to guess it leaked faster than they expected and that's the reason for the rush release? I think this is the fastest I've ever seen between a new album being announced and the first single being available just a few days later.

It wasn't leaked, there was that stupid childish "Facebook unlock" where fans got to unloce lyrics, cover and the premiere of the single, so it was really up to Rihanna's team. There were reports it was coming out on Thursday all week long.

There were reports for some time that RiRi was going to have some kind of release. There were rumblings that it would be a new album rather than a ri-release of the most recent album, but, yeah, the official announcement just occurred this week.
Up to No. 3 right now.

Weird... I don't get the sense of urgency around this release, considering she already has a still-gaining single from the last album on the charts.
When does she have time to do all this recording and tour and film videos and do awards shows and promote...? I'm pretty sure she's a robot.

^Rihanna is not that involved in her production/music. All she needed to do is go in and sing on a day off and thats it. The rest was taken care with autotune and post-production magic. Thats music these days.

There was definitely no urgency and no reason why they couldn't have waited til the Spring at least but oh well. It's interesting to see that "Cheers" is still increasing in the Top 10 even with WFL out. I'm thinking WFL will be #1 before the end of the day, which is about the same timeframe it took "Only Girl" to get to #1. They should have just premiered the song next week and have it get a full week of sales though.

I doubt at this point in RiRis career that she's concerned of getting more #1s.. She already has 10 of them. Label is confident that she'll place high regardless when the single is released.

"Mr. Know It All" is probably my least favorite single Kelly Clarkson has ever released. Not exactly shocked that it's not exploding up the charts. It just doesn't sound momentous, or memorable. The track leaves little breathing room for Clarkson's vocal strengths. If anything, this is one of Clarkson's more mediocre vocal efforts t date........but it's not so much her own fault as that the song hamstrings her performance in a way where she is spending more time carefully enunciating the rhythmic phrasing of the lyrics and is left with scant minimal time to provide any additional emotional weight and emphasis to the material she's handed here. Also, it sounds rather tailor-made for Adult Top 40. Which sort of makes sense given that is the format she most resonates to.............but then again the peak positions of her singles from "All I Ever Wanted" on Mainstream Top 40 closely rivaled those on the Adult Top 40 format. So to place all these chips squarely at Adult Top 40 isn't going to help her if her ultimate goal is to sinew herself as a multi-format staple sensation. Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS that rivalry had a huge exception, the title track all i ever wanted which went top 15 on hot ac, and didnt make top 30 on chr. i think hot ac is more of a home for her now, but she ll still do well on chr.

They want to release the album during the busy sales period of 4Q. That's why Loud crossed 1m fast and that release pattern worked for Rated R too.
