I know you guys want a pop single but I don't see the urgency for it. If she was gonna do a dual release she would have announced them together the day of like she did w Stay/PIU

Trap Queen was able to go Top 10, I don't see why BBHMM can't… give it time to peak, its airplay to increase, etc.

Theres no need to rush this era. Being 3-4 singles deep and the album not even out would be horrible IMO.

I deff think she will premiere AO at the festival, but Im just not sold on the idea that she needs to release it at this point. Idk

As much as I LOVE BBHMM I dnt think it's a single thts gonna sale the album, at least not internationally....she gonna have to release another single either now or right before the album drops

BajanBeauty

Eh I beg to differ. You're assuming the next single is gonna take off and do Diamonds numbers or something… we honestly don't know.

I strongly believe Rihanna first week sales will reflect her 2 year break rather than having a monster hit song at the moment. Of course having hits help…but she also received great feedback from publications regarding the snippets. Those who want to buy the album will do so..

I hope so but i think with BBHMM being the lead (the song tht proceeds the album) she may lose interest or momentum with the international market. I dnt think she needs to release another single now but I think it would help if she did a week before the album drops.

Trap Queen may have gone top 10 on billboard, but pop radio sure as hell isn't playing it (#47), and that's what most of us are worried about. Rih has yet to have a real pop smash this era and we want that before the album comes out. It's obvious BBHMM won't get played on pop to the point where it matters.

They're starting to play it tho.

btw I don't even think US is the problem. A pop hit single wouldn't make the difference in the country, but it would in the rest of the world. BBHMM won't be a legit hit there (even if it could in countries like NZ and France, Rih her power

) and it wouldn't move album sales anyway.

American Oxygen is what countries such as Germany, Netherlands, Italy and UK need (even if FFS was big in all these). But even so, if the album isn't dropping anytime soon, no need to release it now.

I wish it went like :

early May - American Oxygen + video a week later (?)
mid May - #R8

And tour stars in June-July.

When she released PIU & Stay, both songs were already out for 2 months, we already knew them....so it's different. While this time the album isn't out yet, she was never going to drop 2 brand new songs the same day....

It would be messy to release another song before the album if she was still promoting FFS, but she only performed it once and that was almost 2 months ago.

Also this era is very different from the others, the 1st single came out over 2 months ago and R8 still isn't here (no release date, no album title / cover / tracklist). There will probably have a 3 or 4 months gap between the 1st single & the album. FFS also didn't receive the same treatment as Rihanna's previous first singles in terms of promotion.....everything is different this era. So who knows what's going to happen next.

If she doesn't release AO within the next 10 days, then the next single can be a totally different song.

The reason why we want it to drop now is because March Madness is giving the song a big exposure and it ends in 5 days.....also because the festival is in 3 days and it will be aired on national TV.

Yeah true, it's a shame they're wasting the exposure. But I want AO as the next single in any case. Even if released next month. It's amazing and sounds like a smash.

RihRihGirrrl

Yea it'll be kinda pointless for AO to be the next single if she doesn't release b4 the tournament is up. That's why I think the original plan was to do a dual release but BBHMM just kinda too off lol....in any case, it looks like she's gonna give us a live premier of AO

ProudtobeLoud

Who cares about AO anymore, give us Higher

BajanBeauty

Whatever, BBHMM is number 16 in the UK. I think you guys are really underestimating this song and its ability to chart internationally.

& again whose to say Rih even wants a pop smash. Sure the fans may want it but does Rihanna… (Idk if she did wouldn't she have released a pop song by now)
