TTT has to come after WHYB. TTT is more summery than WHYB, not to mention that she needs an international hit as the third single. YDO will bomb outside of the US and the UK (I see a chart run similar to WMN?), so there has to be something with international appeal to hold the album up worldwide as the third single.

But TTT will do well internationally too... Why couldn't we have too in a row? It has already charted well WW and somewhere even better than TTT

Roc Me Out WONT SMASH. Its a wannabe Rude Boy. People are more here for more dance or strictly Urban Rihanna.

1. WFL
2. YDO
3. Talk That Talk
4. WHYB
5. Birthday Cake full
6. We All Want Love

End era.

I originally wanted WHYB 3rd too but TTT has been doing so well pre-release they need to unleash the multi-format beast ASAP to boost the album.

Exactly. Ive never seen urban radio gravitate so quickly to a Rihanna track thats not even a single. It's a sign. They love it. They are spinning it more than Raining Men without being released. She needs a song on the urban format. At least Loud had WMN. Do we really want to wait until summer for her to have an urban single?

Talk That Talk is already getting airplay around the world. It'd be dumb to wait too long to release it.

She's gonna release Watch N' Learn. If anything she'll pull a Taylor Swift and release Birthday Cake full to iTunes when the era is winding down to get people interested again.

Do we really want to wait until summer to have another international single?

Right!

I don't get why people consider it as an urban song though.
It's PERFECT for pop radio!

Fixed.

Releasing BC would be the worst idea ever.

We All Want Love = Same success of California KIng Bed

Drunk On Love >>>>

Exactly but I don't see this era ending that soon tho. And I think there'll be more singles than 5

Then why did Man Down outperform California King Bed everywhere besides the UK?



Her biggest hit in France and went top 10 on Urban radio and had a bigger radio airplay w/o a promotional performance in the US.

Why are you flat out LYING?

CKB went Top 10 in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Belgium, Czech, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Switzerland, the UK, and hit #1 in Poland and Slovakia.

Can the same be said for MD? No. CKB outperformed it by a vast margin.

I swear, some of you are just unreal with your delusions.

Drunk On Love, Birthday Cake & Cockiness need to stay album gems. They won't do well.

I want WNL released if the 5th (Fall 2012?) single does well & there's enough momentum left. It could be a cool winter urban single to lead into a new year (2013).

You all are betting on Birthday Cake in full but I'm not so sure about it. Then again S&M did well...

Exactly!!! It needs to be released NOWAH! Jay is still hot and the song will smash on Rnb/hip hop radio. I don't know why they playing.

I said YDO will do nothing outside of the US and the UK, much like WMN? TTT has international potential but the only places it is guaranteed to smash in are the US and the UK. WHYB, meanwhile, is guaranteed to smash absolutely everywhere. It has the most international appeal the album has to offer next to WFL. If they wait until June to release another song with tons of international appeal, NINE months after WFL, then we can kiss high international sales goodbye until the summer.

Loud did so greatly after OG because of S&M, which also had international appeal. Imagine if they had released Raining Men instead. We'd be looking at larger US figures, but smaller international figures.

But isn't the album selling great internationally because of her name alone? She needs to focus more on the US market and get those sales. I think it would be in her best interest to place more emphasis on the US market instead of worrying about what's going on overseas. They will buy her album regardless. A #1 on Billboard Hot 100 means more to her and the label than having a #1 in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands. We need to make sure this album picks up in sales in the US.

Man Down wasn't single everywhere like CKB.

Cockiness will never be released. No way.

However, it's my second-favorite song by her.

Cockiness >>>>>>>>>>>> (everything else except WFL)

Bumped for the girls in the back.

We All Want Love needs to be released in September.

[Starkboy]

Rihanna can even not release Cockiness like single. But I NEED a video
