PRA was released back in April. California Gurls was released back in May. Releasing a single in June/July doesn't give it enough time to fully smash. And Where Have You Been will be a fine summer smash. They'll more likely release it (radio adds date) in May and she will more likely perform it at the Billboard Music Awards. TTT will run from February-April. She already has Take Care and POC out, we can't have too much Rihanna. And Im glad you realized that Watch N Learn has potential. Hopefully they release it in July to Urban and August to Pop. They released YDO 1 year too early.

Hmmm... I guess we're just thinking about it differently. I think TTT will be Top 10 on iTunes (or near) by the beginning of February (the Grammy's will interrupt it - but it will obviously recover). I guess it could last until the end of April, & it probably will, but I imagine that WHYB would be sent to radio in late April rather than May. But it could be May as well if they take their time. The only thing a song like WHYB is probably going to take off very quickly.
But now that I think about it, it will be a Summer single. However, WHYB will be dying by the time the summer is mid-way - over halfway over (I'm not expecting WFL-type longevity - IMO WFL is
miles better) , so a filler single like WnL could hold people over until Fall - because WALW is dying for a release then.
