No, it's Rihanna's favorite.
She can release whatever she damn pleases. Crystal?

Needed Me is going to smother KIB and I am LIVING.

The strategy is managing Needed Me to take first place before Kiss It Better .

You needed me

Should be top60 on Urban.

#45 (+1) on Spotify US, with 7 Kanye album tracks above it.

Well, the video just came out (there was no real hype for it), Work is still huge, and KIB is going for radio adds only tomorow, so Idk why some fans sound like KIB was released 6 months ago and has peaked.

Just because it didn't go #1 on iTunes right after the video release, doesn't mean it won't later.

Good luck with that delusion
America will never bandwagon this dated song.

For those who listen to the remixed version, which one is the correct tag: "Rihanna - Needed Me (Pop Mix)" or "Rihanna - Needed Me (Radio Mix)"?

Last night Philly went crazy for "Needed Me"

RIHANNA - Needed Me: 2.473 (+ 0.409)
RIHANNA - Kiss It Better: 2.165 (+ 0.346)

at you being perched in Rihanna threads

Rihanna's Dark Horse cometh!!!

'Needed Me' was an instant favourite from Anti. So I hope the GP are as responsive to the song as I was.
It's a good follow up to Work and I hope it scalps, tears and obliterates "KIB"

they bandwagon Taylor's generic, recycled songs so who knows...

What part of Blank Space, Wildest Dreams etc sounded generic, recycled?

Ps. Don't be so butthurt Navys, I love Rihanna and I'm just being honest KIB is good but not THAT good, and yall acted like it's the best thing since a sliced bread, soooo I guess it isn't after all.

Blank Space is literally a song with a doorbell advertisement playing in the background and Wildest Dreams literally sounds like Without You by Lana.

Really who cares at this point? I feel that once the samsung deal was final what songs were released and how they were released didn't matter. Their profit from this album was set in stone. They could've even paid to push both Needed Me and KIB on radio but there's no longer a need for her team to be so strategic. Her songs are gaining at a decent rate on their own w/out a radio deal.

Sales and streams will gain as soon as she has a big enough radio audience.
