Great song. Its relatable, catchy and has great/simple lyrics. Not one of my personal favorites but i can see the mass appeal for it

Because it was a feature. Same reason Work and This Is What You Came For smashed. At least that's what ATRL wants us to think.

Well her solo songs have been performing very badly compared to her features, Towards The Sun, American Oxygen, Sledgehammer, Kiss It Better etc... even BBHMM and Needed Me have failed to have a sizable impact on the charts.
So maybe for once, ATRL could be right.

Amazing song.

Chris Brown drama boosted it

Rihanna was back with Chris Brown at the time Stay was released as a single.

You were probably first in line calling Kanye sexist for taking credit for Taylor Swift's career and now here you are saying the same for Chris Brown and Rihanna.

Give up, children.

cos she is Queen & this is one of the most beautiful songs of all time

idk. Probably my least fav single of hers and when i heard it on the album I thought ' we'll just leave this one on the album Rih, no need to make this a single'

Girl, how?

It flopped until the week they added streaming to The Hot 100, you know, when Harlem Shake was #1.

from 2012 and onwards, lots of ballads were able to smash. and i honestly think Adele and 21 has a large part in that happening.

lots of ballads were able to smash even before 2012 though.
No, Adele and 21 had no correlation with that. 21 was an anomaly album that had significant sales, but boy, it had less impact than you give it credit for.

Needed Me, a song that has so far peaked at #7, is performing badly chart wise? I mean at least it passed double digits. Not even a lead single either.

How do people on this site make mistakes like this? Like y'all are supposed to be music fans involved with pop culture

[Shimenawa]

Adele's impact

[sk8erfan]

Her worst song ever, the GP ain't known for their good taste post 2010

[King Maxx]

Because it's Rihanna. It's a good song. And ballads were big that year, and she was the only major pop girl to release one. Well Katy had Uncle, but yeah.... Gaga was fading. Beyonce was no where to be seen. Nicki had Marilyn Monroe, but that was not single worthy. I can go on.....

Rihanna's ballads are great!

Be careful sis in the "Google Search Bible of Pop" thread, these two members clocked each other and both of them ended up with a WP. One of them got banned and I literally quoted the fact that he's banned and did the ":sistrens": thing and I got a WP for getting off-topic despite the fact that I did OT: right after. Someone's out to get me.
