Keep in mind it did not have a radio deal, so it has rather small exposure and still is top5. Wait what growing airplay and promo will do for the song before calling it a flop!?
I am not a Miley fand and this song is awfull and idk that #5 is a flop. :tofunny: Maybe people except more because of the hype.....
The only promo it had was the Single Artwork On Times Square Billboard??
Only one day after a U.S. Army soldier uploaded a video of himself singing in Afghanistan, it's gone viral.
Private First Class Paul Ieti, from American Samoa, posted the video to his personal Facebook page Thursday of him singing the Rihanna song "Stay".
He's currently serving in Afghanistan with the 3rd Infantry Division out of Fort Stewart, Ga.
Laura Ferreiro of Yahoo Music writes:
The video is incredibly simple – it features the soldier wearing fatigues sitting on a table eating cereal before he launches into an emotional rendition of the tune from Rihanna's latest album, Unapologetic.
He starts out by saying, "Shout out to Rihanna. I love you."
At last check on Facebook alone, the video had more than 30,000 likes and 9,000 shares — probably because his cover is rather incredible. Not surprisingly, this isn't the only song from Ieti. He also has a YouTube page showcasing many other impressive covers he's done.
Shortly after he realized how popular his video had become, Ieti wrote on Facebook, "Wow, just wow ... I'm blown away ... thanks for the love world."
