Clearly it's a better idea to release WHYB first, so that both her US sales and international sales benefit. If we wait until next summer to release it and go with TTT first, then her US and UK sales will benefit, and her international sales will probably, too, but not to the same extent. TTT needs to come later.

TTT needs to come first, as well as it smashing really well internationally the track name in itself is promo, many of her fans are still baffed as to whats going on this era, some thought that we found love was in the loud era hence why loud jumped from #123 to #43 the same week TTT was released. she needs to release TTT as a third track not only will it smash internationally but it would serve as the best promo. Where have you been can be easily saved for the summer as it practically has "summer hit of 2012" written all over it. we need to strike TTT while the iron is hot

I want Talk That Talk as the 3rd single and then Where Have You Been as the 4th. Then possibly Roc Me Out or Watch n Learn as the 5th.

She's gonna release a ballad so We All Want Love will be released in September. And its a good time to release it so she can promote it at award shows and such.

I want WALW.

But if DJ refuses, than DYT is the weaker, but second-best option.

You do know that its the non American fans that always think differently. They don't understand how radio over here works. Just because a song has all the formula for success doesn't mean it will. Look at Marry the Night.

I see it exactly the same way. I think BC would be a risk worth taking but those are the obvious and almost sure choices.

DYT is nowhere near a ballad...

I'm not saying WAWL should be released because it's a "favorite" of mine. It seriously screams hit to me.

CKB/MD were favorites of mine from Loud but I NEVER wanted them released until at least the end of the era or not at all. I actually wanted Cheers as the FOURTH SUMMER 2011 single.

The only time I wanted a fan favorite was Rockstar 101, but I learned my lesson. I was a freshman.

This!

End era

See your 5th and 6h single CHOICES are a MESS. If she was to do it like that the era would be done by June. After 3 POP Up tempos like that pop radio is NOT gonna spin TTT that much AT ALL. And TTT is not gonna have the Urban support by then because its already being played a lot right now. Korean, please try and understand. You need a song to "slow" things down a bit. Look at Katy Perry and her TD era. The single pattern was all flawless. Uptempo - Mid tempo - Pop mid tempo/ballad, Uptempo w/ rapper, Uptempo.

You need songs in between to keep the audience and DJs spinning your music. Why did you think Criminal flopped? She released 3 UPTEMPO singles in a row, the 4th single will undoubtedly suffer.


Look at Loud. She released a euro Dance song, A Pop/R&B mid tempo, A dance pop and then a POP/ROCK ballad? it was bound to flop. You need diversity in between but not going too left field.

With 5 songs released from the standard version... and a re-release next year....

As do I.

It would, but not to the same extent as WHYB. The album will benefit more internationally from WHYB than it will from TTT.

They want videos for their favorite songs. Not to mention Rihanna could release a song with her bowel movements as a single and it would go #1 in Cambodia, Oceania, France or where ever the **** they're from.

RMO should just be ignored.

Then why do you want TTT and WHYB before a ballad if there has to be more diversity?

Katy Perry released five mid to uptempo singles before she released a ballad and TD is doing great.

for the records , MD & CKB both went to number 1 this year on some charts in my country ( not to mention LTWYL pt II , OG , S&M , WMN ) which all went to number 1. whatever she will release will go to number 1 here

And it will be It would be just a horrendous mistake from her label to think this song could achieve at least some of the RB's success

[KoreanDream]

RMO has single potential. You guys may not like it, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't benefit the album.

Exactly. They don't understand she needs to ensure this album is BIG in the US as possible. The UK already made this era a success having it sell nearly half a milli in 4 weeks. Thats more than we can ask for and they are only on the first single still. They don't understand that all Rihanna has to do is go to their country and perform the song on one of their local channels and it goes #1. Over here, requires more work.
