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

Thank You.

While they are good songs, those are songs that you KNOW are songs that will just be fan favorites and strong album cuts.

To find a good single, you have to listen to the chorus. If you can't remember the chorus after 2 plays then you know it won't work.

Right!

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

Talk That Talk has worlwide hit written all over it.

Didn't TTT the song go Top 5 somewhere in Europe?

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.

The album isn't going to sell internationally forever based off her name alone, Deemy. Sales will die down internationally around February/March unless another single with international appeal is released. WHYB will smash in the US, too, so she'll still get US sales. It's a win-win situation.

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

TTT will probably smash harder than WFL, especially in the US and THAT is a fact, the US sales will really start raking in when she releases it and i think that considering the US sales are slightly low she needs to release all the unique/ urban tracks on the album which will keep her US market interested in her as an artist so therefore the tracklist should be

1.We Found Love
2. You Da One
3. Talk That Talk
4. Where Have You Been
5. Watch N Learn
6. We All Want Love
7. Cockiness

Cake's chorus is just cake cake cake cake cake cake cake blahblahblah

I guess it could work. Maybe it should be a single with the full version.

That's why WALW could work too. It's so catchy.

It seems like the Navy is split between who has her best interest and who just want "their favorite" to be released. It happens every era and she always gets screwed. I say stick with the label and their decision. If it's one thing I know about Def Jam is that they know what radio wants. When she does fan picks they always FLOP. We Ride, Rockstar 101, California King Bed, Man Down.

Cockiness will never be released. No way.

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

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

I like Cockiness but i never got the praise for it.
We Found Love is surprising my favorite song on the album too and her best single since Rehab.

Exactly. And those claiming WAWL will do a damn thing are the perfect example of such.

"Cake cake cake cake cake cake cake cake".

I already remebered it after 1 listen.


But I get your point.

Talk That Talk did the best during album release in the INTERNATIONAL MARKETS sis. It did the best in EVERY COUNTRY. It even outperformed You Da One in some. It should have been the 2nd single. IDK what her management team was thinking.

That's cute for it, but I guarantee you that when all is said and done, WHYB will be the larger international smash. You and I both know that in Europe, an urban track seldom outperforms a dance track.
