Guys if Pour It Up is the second single it'll be strictly for Urban radio and they'll send Right Now for pop around the same time. Idk why you guys are panicking.

I think we have to accept that with this era, we will have double releases, especially in the US. She cannot release PIU worlwide (you do not call that a risky move, instead a dumb move, look at TTT, BC let alone, YDO). Also, she cannot release Stay in the US without a urban single (Diamonds already done its job, she needs something new). If she wanted a one sinlge multiformat appeal (urban appeal), we only have 6 candidates, be it: RN, POTR, NB, Numb, LS and Jump.
With these choices, I prefered Nobody's Business or Jump
I don't want the generic mess RN (don't get me wrong, I loved the song but it should stay as an album gem, that's it).
If we will be having dual releases (US only), I want her to go this risky route:
Stay (pop, rhythmic, ac, hac)/PIU (urban only)

Urban will play Stay. The biggest urban station in the UK (Radio 1Xtra) has already playlisted it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/playlist/#b
Urban will play absolutely everything from the album except Right Now, so there's no need for split singles. Even if she releases Right Now, she doesn't need to have anything out on urban at that time.

I love both, but I'd say they have to go with Nobodies Business because it contrasts with Diamonds more.
Rihanna's strength is her variety, so I don't think she should release 2 mid-tempo songs in a row.

It will DY will not touch it (she's ahead in radio and streaming).
And of course, digital sales are not of a big factor this time of the year, because of low sales.
This is the reason behind 10 weeks reign of WFL yet its sales are not so huge. But still WFL is a legendary song. No shade.

Yeah, Diamonds is definitely getting that third week. Afterwards Bruno might start competing, he's catching up in airplay.

They probably will but it won't perform hugely. And Say It, you don't base urban radios in the UK, they play anything, hell even California King Bed. Urban music is only dominant in the US.

Yes. I just can't see DY topping it, but who knows? Rih has multiple version of Diamonds right now and it is hanging inside the top 10 + radio still is showing love for the song.

I think it's safe to say they should go the Beyonce's I Am Singles route where they double release POP/URBAN
I think these combinations would be the best:
Stay/Pour It Up
Jump/Loveee Song
Right Now/Numb
*Nobodies Business* can be released alone to smash alone!

Pour It Up is amazing. 
But again, did she really confirm that it will be the next single? A fan made cover ain't cutting it for me...
In other news,
I don't even drink alcohol, but Unapologetic makes me want to get high SO BAD.

Pour It Up is a damn JAM!
I wouldn't mind it getting the video treatment. 
Lost In Paradise really is one of my favorites on the album. I think it could smash.
