Because it is pop (dance pop whatever)

More global appeal.

better song, future classic, etc.

Talent

Well one was a dancehall song which featured tons of patios and the other was a genetic edm song! And work was bigger in the US than TIWYCF was in it's biggest markets!! Work has higher highs and is more memorable so it wins!

Because, unlike the other, it was a good song.

Work is bigger in the US, TIWYCF isn't much bigger in the UK (like 100K difference), Mediatraffic numbers aren't reliable

+ Taylor Swift.

Wait TIWYCF sold 5m in pure copies????

I didnt know that was still possible

It was bigger WW because it's a pop song and Europe/Oceania loves pop Rihanna, just look at her biggest WW hits (they don't really **** with urban rihanna)

Work & Needed Me were bigger than TIWYCF in the US though

The GP doesn't even know she wrote it and even if they did I doubt they'd listen to the song or watch the video because of her

because dance music is more globally accessible than urban pop?

Cuz Calvin-Rih collabs always win.

Because it was written by Taylor


But yeah, it has more global appeal cause it's an EDM song.

.

Well, Work is very bad. I can't even believe it became a hit.
It's no surprise that TIWYCF is bigger. Rih should only do that kind of song or songs like LOTB.

This thread is about singles and you supposedly don't care about singles because they supposedly don't matter. Why are you here?

it's just a tab bit bigger.

Really



Not much difference, and one's a club song
