Rihanna did not record footage for the NBA commercial, it's just footage of her performing song on DWT Right Now fits more in the commercial then Jump does [/CENTER]

1. The footage was shot on the DWT stage, but it's not tour footage. Right Now isn't on the DWT setlist yet.

2. The Jump chorus obviously fits in with basketball more than any other Rihanna chorus ever.

Here is the ad to refresh your memory:

If it's not tour footage why am I seeing WHYB choreo in the video?
They could have easily filmed DWT and just add the Right Now track over it, it's not complicated with today's technology.

Have they actually confirmed this as the next single?

I think so. It's got an adds date for pop I believe.

It really needs to.

1. Diamonds
2. Stay
3. Pour It Up
4. Right Now
5. Jump
6. Lost In Paradise
7. Numb
8. What Now

Great, but Imma need 'Phresh Out The Runway' for urban and 'No Love Allowed' for reggae/urban radio.

Geez.

Such a shame they chose the easy and unambitious path.

this is the best single choice. Unapologetic is such a weird album.

[Genocide]

This was expected. Though I hate the song, it has 'hit' written all over it. She'd be a fool NOT to release this as a single - and right on time for the summer, as well.

[Dark Matter]

She's already exhausted the ballad card this era (maybe even next) and #thuglife isn't working for her internationally, or even locally outside lesser charts. But its not near November yet, so they can't release a new lead. Even if you detest RN, it will be a successful time filler between now and LP8's lead.

FUMING.

JUMP should have been the single. Sigh.

[Ties]

Jump is terrible.

That breakdown will not be getting any plays on radio.

[Dark Matter]

Nobody is checking for Jump. It's not as if Right Now is unpopular or anything - it's clearly the 3rd most popular track on the album, after Diamonds and Stay.

Right Now was my favorite snippet from the album.

The demo that Ne-Yo sang was fire, I cannot believe that people actually believe this is going to be a Where Have You Been sized success. People are starving for a Rihanna dance track, she's had one every era and those tend to be her most successful. I see not only local success with this release, but also global success. After Right Now smashes I'm going to need Nobody's Business, then Lovx7 Song to end the era.

Ugh, I know. I just hate it.

It'll probably be a solid hit for Rihanna, but I don't think it'll do better than Stay and obviously not Diamonds.

[Dark Matter]

I think the era will end after RN and the tour. She has to take a little break and then jump into the new album. Does she have time to still push an album that's on the way out?

Even if RN is a gigantic smash, it won't shift many albums. More than any other track, but not that many.

I hope next album is actually something completely different to the past two albums, so for me personally, RN is "the end" to Rih-EDM-anna.

[Ties]

I'm going to need her to channel Cleopatra next era.

[new evolution]

I just want it to be released already

[Dark Matter]

I think she'll go pop-rock/country/folksy. Hence the importance of this big dance smash. It could be our last until late 2014.
