RR, not sure. Hard #9. Rude Boy #5, so far.

I could care less if Urban wants to play pop Rihanna. Disturbia and DSTM all did massive on Pop with urban radio playing the track.
Ya'll need to stop being greedy. One mega-smash per CD is just fine. And Rude Boy is it. TE AMO would do massive numbers but its being overlooked by everyone JUST because it leaked last spring.

I honestly don't get the love for Te Amo. The production sounds cheap and I can easily see it underperforming. FB and PG are the only "hits" left.

^ Agreed.
"Wait Your Turn": promo single already "Stupid In Love": disliked by fans...but could work "Rockstar 101": it could go top 20, but "Hard" was already released (urban w/ rock elements) "Firebomb": could do well on Pop "Photographs": my personal fave, Pop/Rhy smash "G4L": not radio friendly at all "Te Amo": awesome, but too similar to "Rude Boy" "Cold Case Love": I have confidence in this one :) "The Last Song": beautiful, but too sad for radio
No need to re-release or to release 8 singles. You should never try to duplicate success or recapture anything from the past!

Ugh, I just don't understand the record labels hesitation with releasing the obvious hits left on this album. So frustrating.

SIL just doesn't stand out enough to compete with her most memorable ballads(Unfaithful, TAB). It's rather bland IMO.

its the most radio friendly and the only crossover song left on the album. And its pretty much on the same level as the other 2 ballads she released they sound damn near the same. Its her normal MO for a ballad.

Te Amo used to be one of my least favorite song on the album but now I've warmed up preety well to it. I actually believe it could be a huge hit if released.
Honestly, I doubt Def Jam has made a decision on the 4th single.

She should have released 'Rude Boy' first! Ballads as lead singles just don't work too well these days... and if 'Rude Boy' had been released first the album would probably be selling a bit better. Then she should have followed up with 'Hard' and had another hit and then released 'Russian Roulette' or whatever.

Ugh, I just don't understand the record labels hesitation with releasing the obvious hits left on this album. So frustrating. I think they want to make sure they pick the right single. I would be surprised if Te Amo is ever released as a single because it leaked last summer and had already charted in some countries. She would need another version. I think the choices for the next single are Rockstar 101 and Photographs.

If she had done that, this era would have gone downhill with each release, instead of building up the way it's been so far... Where have all her singles peaked this era on pop? Russian Roulette peaked at # 9 Hard # 8 I think Rude Boy # 1 Aren't those Hot 100 peaks?... I think she means pop radio... RR - 21 Hard - Upper Top 10... can't remember the exact position... Rude Boy - 5 (So far)

"Stupid In Love" does sound similar to TAB and Unfaithful...it could do well. I just feel that "Photographs" and "Fire Bomb" are really good album tracks/fan faves and we REALLY don't know what will work on radio, but I'm kinda hesitant on releasing either of them.
And there's nothing wrong with the sequence of singles, the record label did a great job. "Russian Roulette" was an overseas hit, "Hard" was a NA hit, and "Rude Boy" is a worldwide hit!

SIL just doesn't stand out enough to compete with her most memorable ballads(Unfaithful, TAB). It's rather bland IMO. I actually think TAB is rather bland and I'm astonished that it did as well as it did. The only way I got into the track was through the remixes. However, I agree that SIL doesn't stand out at all.

I can't believe she's not performing FB at least. What a wasted opportunity.

"Photographs" is for Europe and "Te Amo" is supposedly for the U.S. interesting, i wonder if both will have videos.
