Edit: 19 year-old guys are a bad example anyway, seeing as though they generally dont buy any of their music. Gays and girls that age are more likely to purchase music, regardless of genre/artist. |
Being a music omnivore I probably am not the right example but I am now in my 30s and me and my friends all like Where Have You Been.
It's a good feel song and it can appeal to the casual listener pretty well, and that is the kind of buying public that determines huge selling figures.
If a song makes you bump and sing when you listen to it at work, driving car, in stores waiting lines, and so on, that song is bound to have a good chart run generally and Where Have You Been has those qualities certainly not just for Rihanna's fans (I am a casual Rihanna listener but all of her songs with a good dancey vibe have appeal to me).
This song will be a very good hit for her, the more the sunny season approaches.
Plus it has not to be forgotten that it's gonna be a worldwide hit and in these times if a song from a well known artist has relevance at the same time in multiple Countries it may improve chart performances everywhere in the globe.
I love them, I have their whole discography!
