As much as I'm excited for Madonna Can't Remember Anything, I've revisited Shaquille his discog and I only use Whenever, Wherever and Underneath Your Clothes.

She buys her airplay, facebook likes, vevo views and instagram followers, it wouldn't surprise me if DefJam have a warehouse full of 'shipments' of her singles.

How can a song stay only 2 days at #1 on iTunes and get a 4~5 weeks on #1 in the Hot 100?
and streaming wasn't even available back then is she buying weeks at #1?

I'm not here for yt twinks ~18-22.
I stay away from most mainstream clubs.
Most of the "clubs" I go to are random warehouses around downtown.
I might go to an actual club every now and again.
And they all play Bayonse.

How can a song have 100M plus AI and only sell 1.8M in the US.
A What's My Name sized MESS.
We Found Love, Diamonds and Stay were such vacuous wins for Rihanna because they were all practically the only listenable songs on their respective albums.
To have true global appeal you have to improve the quality of your material and sacrifice some Anglosphere appeal. Else you'll be stuck like Katy, Taylor and Pepcé. Rihanna (or her masters) made the right decision.
