It's currently #1 WW toppling several artists, including those who JUST released albums which garnered excessive promo and controversy. It has had no promo. It's the EDM sound people claim died years ago.

Why is Rih and Calvin #1 together again after 5 years since their classic, We Found Love?

Didn't Rih become local after ANTI?

Actual talent.

The answer is in your thread title.

Star power

Rih has the Midas touch, it's known.

Calvin's power!!



Needed Me or Kiss It Better will probably take over as soon as it starts to fade, I'm sure.

2 artists together.

Because that people have been anticipating a Rihanna and Calvin collaboration for a while.

Rihanna's power!!

Becaushe she is GLOBAL.

It's a generic EDM track featuring Rihanna and Calvin Harris

2 big artists. Same reason Work was a hit.

You're so transparent

Talent always wins and you know it!

How's your fave generic R&B songs doing?

Needed Me and Kiss it Better should follow surely.

Right

THREE superstars released albums this week.

EDM is clearly bigger on a WW scale than Urban music
