Man Down = MESSED UP release and DUAL release with CKB... = HUGE HIT in lots of European countries... Plus Gold in the US and #1 in France. Certified in 5 countries....
Its not always about the #1.... Man Down gave Rihanna a new status in the WW market TBH.... When u do DIFFERENT THINGS it will pay off... Even if its not today... IT WILL PAY OFF.
I can see Rihanna SMASHING WAWL LIVE..... and that = KEY for promo....
I cant see Rihanna doing WHYB live....

Honey, you can bang your keyboard and post in caps all you want. It doesn't make your point any better and I still don't agree with you.
The majority of music markets aren't here for out-of-the-box Rihanna. All 3 songs are a vast difference from the sound that built Rihanna to be where she is, and not in a good way.
There is only one reason for Rockstar's floppage, and it's because it's awful. The release was not messed up, and even so that it was a US only single - it still didn't do **** in the US. Same goes with Man Down. There's a reason why CKB was doing better than it their entire runs. Man Down had no single appeal, just like WAWL.
WHYB will barely even need any promo because it's a smash. WAWL could be performed on every award and talk show across the nation and it would still rest in the low 80's on iTunes.
