Cheers became a spontaneous hit. OOTW is not happening. I always win.

All that promo and still flopped

OMG rihannafan why are you SO defensive rn? We are about to be blessed.

Don't jinx it.

She was in the studio with Drake eight months ago...if she was actually relying on him, they would've released the song a long time ago. ANTI has been scrapped like 3-4 times.

BBHMM is a joke song that white people parody to feel edgy.

hotline bling was a pop culture moment

That's not promo just cultural relevance

We've established the song was recorded months ago.

We're discussing on how she conveniently chose it to kick off the era again and release the album under after she released three lackluster hits (the last being a career-ending bomb).

He was certainly an artist able to score a hit in 2012.

'Rihanna isn't relying on Drake! It's just a coincindence that she's finally kicking off the era again and releasing the album after 6+ months of delay with a Drake feature kicking off everything!'

TTT already had a Rih/Chris Brown single, so there was no need for a song with the same pair to be a single on Unapologetic. Didn't matter what kind of hit songs Chris had at the time.

And like someone mentioned earlier, the song was recorded before Hotline Bling became a big hit. So we can't really say she purposely rode off of HB success.

Cheers (the sixth singel or w/e) was also bigger or on the same stats wise level as Style, BB, WD and OOTW WW with a limited chart run

Doesn't negate my statement

Loud isn't even bigger than RED, or Speak Now.

Because the song is most likely hot. It doesn't mean she needs him for a hit. American Oxygen was screwed over by TIDAL, and the song isn't even gp friendly anyway.

R is responsible for Drakes first breakout WW hits, TC was also the only globally successful song from the album TC even though he had like 5 big hits from it in the US
