Most Rihanna singles are guaranteed like 30 million extra AI than normal pop stars, because she always crosses over to rhythmic (and sometimes urban) in a massive way, whilst the other pop girls don't really (except Nicki and Beyonce). That's why he songs have such high airplay, especially What's My Name?, since it was massive on all three formats.
Katy, for example, struggles to cross over to rhythmic. Her only song that did well on rhythmic was E.T. (which is why it had such a high airplay peak).
Where Have You Been at #3 on pop still, and still #1 on rhythmic. And only #14 on iTunes. Ouch.
I know that but take WMN for instance...it was a monster radio smash but not digitally
One would think it sold so much more than it...radio is here for her
Breathe Carolina is going to be stuck with that one hit wonder stigma, so radio won't support anything else they put out. Just like Shinedown, actually.

I know, but at least Shinedown had another moderate pop hit with "If You Only Knew". I mean, not even in the Top 40? That's pretty bad.
But if sales were weighted more than radio, I swear the chart run of a lot of riri songs would look so much worse...you would really think her songs were huge sellers but they aren't and I just don't get it
Interesting..
In comparison, if sales were weighted more, Gaga's chart runs would be much better.
Regardless of AC/Rhythmic whatever, "WHYB" had massive promotion matched with nearly 100m AI from Pop which does sell. Idol and SNL while she being a major pop name in the top ten is a mess. "DYT", "WNL" or "Cockiness" now please.
This song is too good to flop.
