All Of The Lights might finally chart in the UK. It's at #34 now, it's randomly rebounded. And it's still climbing.
*Prays For It To Enter Top 40 tomorrow (Mid week updates)*
BTW video isn't that popular that streaming points would make much difference.
I dunno why people are pretending like the video views are a flop. They didn't have quite as explosive a start as Telephone/Alejandro, but they've been very consistently strong over the past two weeks.
Adding Kanye is just smart marketing. Remember when WMN originally didn't have Drake, but the 'remix' did so well that Rih made it the official version.

Technically a solo version of WMN? doesn't exist to us, because we never heard it. The featured version is the only one that ever saw the light of the day.

Do you know how many views needed for the video to add a point?
55,000 views = 1 point on AOL and Yahoo, which nobody uses to watch videos. It doesn't make any sense why they don't use Vevo.
Videos need to be really popular and fast-gainers for their streaming points to actually make an effect, like LTWYL for an example where it streaming points reached 15+ once.
There was only ONE version of "What's My Name" released - ever. Any version without him is an unofficial leak or fan-creation.
On the more Hot AC stations over here in the UK (we don't really have stations categorised like the US) they sometimes play the No rap version of What's My Name. But I think the radio station just edited out,

I didn't say BTW video views are a flop, I just said it's not gaining views fast enough to make any impact with streaming points on BH100.

I agree. I think the main factor that will determine whether E.T. gets that number 1 actually might be the remixes. If 1 of the remixes stays in the low top 100 for a good majority of the week then I can see Gaga gaining 10-15k in sales between the three remixes

That's different.
The album version has Drake. If the album version had been solo and then she released a brand new version with Drake, then it would have been similar. Although Rihanna still wouldn't get as much benefit from it, since she doesn't need a rapper to get Urban exposure.

But the album wasn't made official yet nor was it released. yes you're right she shot the solo version for the video at first but the version with Drake leaked and the fans loved it so they decided to just make it the official version. Plus, the remix was gonna be on the album as a bonus track. So there's the difference. if she puts Weezy on Man Down remix and releases it on iTunes then Im sure she is trying to snatch wigs

Well, she actually does. She's a flop on urban radio sadly . Her only songs that was a big hit on urban was Take A Bow and Rude Boy. And sometimes they played a remix to Rude Boy with Rick Ross. I think Man Down is her first song ever thats not released as a single that urban radio latches on to.
