So I guess Te amo 's the next international single while Rockstar101 is the next single for America only.

Te Amo

Te Amo

Haha, you beat me to it. Yeah I was happy when I found this out
Can we just make this the official Te Amo thread?

- More videos for us stans. TWO then I KNOW they have to release Fire Bomb & Photographs.

This is going to be Imma Be / Rock That Body all over again in Canada
Some radios play French single and others play the American single

Well I know that TE AMO is the International single while ROCKSTAR 101 is the home single (US), remember HARD wasn't a single but also peaked high in Canada, aswell.

She should have released it in the US also..

At least the French will enjoy some good music.

But it's a bit different…Hard was released as US-only, but there wasn't an alternate single for Europe. It was just that the US got an extra bonus single if you will (because RR underperformed) when everywhere else there's only 2 official singles from Rated R.
Te Amo might flop in Canada if only half the radio stations support it and the other half support RS101. :-/

Now they need to scrap RockStar in the states and replace it with Te Amo and release it as a promo single, just somethong to throw out there!

It's amazing but I don't get why R101 was single for USA, Te Amo could've smashed in Latin Charts cuz of its vibe

maybe they could only get Slash on the track if they agreed to make it a single

other than that, i really dont understand why they would go with Rockstar.

Te Amo is another guaranteed smash hit

Waitttttttttt wait wait wait, why the hell is Def Jam rushing the next worldwide single when Rude Boy is still the #1 song in the world :/

WTF is wrong with them :/

^ rude boy is still smashing nicely worldwide but be forreal .. its getting old and its definitely done in the UK which is why te amo is already climbing there so releasing te amo right now might not be a bad idea ..
rockstar 101 won't be gettin an adds date till probably sometime june or may at best sooo rude boy will still be able to do well here ..

i actually really like the idea of releasing te amo WW and rockstar 101 here in the US cause lets be real ..
rockstar 101 would've flopped internationally and i just wouldn't be able to take ..


but here in the US i think it'll do fair .. especially with the video ..

^
Yes I totally agree about rockstar not being a good worldwide single at all because I don't even think it's a good US single!

And you made some great points about rude boy now declining in certain ountries but that doesn't take from the fact it's still the #1 song in the world! And I don't want a new worldwide singles to distract from it's global sales! And on a sidenote I'd like for Te amo to climb in all the countries together as Rude Boy did, not have it peak here then there, I want it's ride to the top to be cohesive and not everywhere!

However rude boy may seem like it's getting old but in all actuality it can still be considered a new single it's only been out 8 weeks which is only 2 small months, it may seem like it's old becauise it exploded so quickly but really it's not!

Yeah...I agree this is a dumb move on Def Jam's part.

I totally agree with you, radio started playing RTB, then switched to IB quickly, it was very confusing .. I hate when Canadian radios do that they add songs so fast !!

I think Rockstar 101 gonna under-perform then they will rush to release Te Amo in US

Understandable. Out of all the Rated R tracks, Te Amo was the highest charting song at their local iTunes.

iTunes UK
67. Te Amo
It will smash !
