I dont care if 45S only reaches 6 on pop. Pop radio peaks arent really vital to her stats or anything. But I do want it to continue gaining audience at least, even if its outside the top 5. 63M audience impressions is a bit pathetic. I mean, the song is a legit and proven hit, and has held digitally for 6 weeks and will continue to do so. Ill be a bit disappointed it it doesnt pick up again.

This is what makes me think people are genuinely trolling when they call this song 'radio friendly', I mean this is the biggest radio artist of the last decade, and her lead single is stalling at half the maximum audience on the top 40 panel. Thats not right.

It has happened to all artists. It is not testing that well with pop radio's core audience. You forgot what happened with Russian Roulette sis? That had horrible call out. That's why it peaked so low even though it was her lead single and the hype was huge due to the Good Girl Gone Wild era and the Chris Brown incident. The song peaked at like no21 on pop radio.

45S is on trend w/ the folkpop thing as of late, but ultimately I agree that it's not super radio-friendly. Hopefully she moves on relatively soon.

FFS slays. It's my favourite Icon lead single.

With FFS lowkey peaking on radio, I hope American Oxygen gets sent for adds soon. Icon, ha "Radioactive" is coming

Every artists has had a flop or two. Katy Perry had one song flop from her first CD. Rihanna also had problems with "California King Bed," though some blame radio since the song was a ballad and radio refused to embrace ballads for several years.

Madonna had 15-20 Top Five songs in a row back in the 1980s, but that was before the Hot 100 changed to electronic airplay and sales tracking.

Due to the slower turnover of songs, it is unlikely Madonna could have hit the Top Five so many times in a row with the newer and more accurate tracking system used to configure the Hot 100.

Marian Carey tried to keep such a streak going by only commercially releasing singles for songs she knew would be hits. But when the Hot 100 began counting airplay-only tracks, that strategy no longer worked.

Some Rihanna fans in here, do you even know your favs chart performance? You act so surprised!

RUSSIAN ROULETTE, LEAD single with HUGE hype due to the GGGB era and the Chris Brown incident and it was a disaster on radio. And she's had plenty of other radio flops.

I think FFS will actually help the next single ultimately. Kinda like they're waiting for something they can actually play by Rih, so once she gives it to them they should hop on it even quicker. The main factor is the next song being just that, though.

#6 on pop is Rather Be level. Stop acting like 45S is a flop. I don't especially like it but c'mon

If her next song is like 45S, radio wont play it at all.

Maybe radio isn't her focus anymore, which isn't a bad thing, in order for some artists to grow they have to do what they want to do.

I'm pretty positive it won't be. It seems to be pointing to American Oxygen being her next single, and that definitely sounds more current and radio ready as far as having an actual beat.

When people say FourFiveSeconds is radio friendly, I can understand in a sense, as it's more HAC and AC friendly than a typical Rihanna song, but not so much for rhythmic and urban (and arguably pop too).

YES!! Ed reached the #1 on Pop Songs

Rihanna's label is probably getting ready to do a Pop Emergency 2nd single release.
