Why is she releasing two sings at once anyway?

And why when "Work" is still smashing?

And why a vidyo so soon?

Aside from NM showing much more promise than KIB, these are the other reasons I don't see it "smashing" like Work did.

KIB is one of my faves but am not seeing the 10 weeks @ #1 tea everybody else is.

[Sunshine.]

I was wrong about Work (mostly out of angst and excitement...everything was looking like it would flop!), but it's pretty much a given that she won't have another hit from this Anti album.

It's not even me "predicting" it. It's just her single history. First single is big, 2nd one is passable, and then there's nothing to follow that up. It's cyclic.

So either Needed Me OR KIB will be a moderate (urban?) hit. But 1 will definitely flop.

Bets on which one will flop? Needed Me or KIB?

this. but the abel remix will come soon

[Dämon]

I REALLY really don't get the Needed Me love.

[Sunshine.]

I think Needed Me will be the moderate urban hit and KIB will die in a few weeks.

KIB in america
NM WW

[collin]

KIB will smash WW even if it flops here.
She has 2-3 Top 5s left on Anti.

[Skywalker]

Jay's verses on everything post 2011 suck.

[Duca]

NM will do better in the US and KIB elsewhere.

I always knew Work would be a hit. KING his power is truly immense. #1 streamed artist in the world.

People will stream ANYTHING he's on.

Not to mention him and his glorious beard appearing in the music video(s).

It was bound to go number one.

[thirdward]

i agree the dual single + releasing the KIB vid too soon is a dumb move
it could've been needed me april - june
KIB june- sept

Only people who are insecure and threatened by talent would say KIB is better than Dangerous Woman.

I love Ari but Rihanna generally makes better music than her

[Roman Holiday]

Dangerous Woman is such a superior song structurally and obviously vocally. What is so amazing about KIB? The hook sucks and you can hardly catch the beat.

Needed Me >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> That song needs to her The Hills.

[Shaliydah88]

Whenever ATRL unanimously agrees that a song is going to smash, it always flops.

So KIB is gonna fckn bomb.

@Sinister what can I say? I was waiting for it to grow on me and it finally did. All it really needed was a nice radio edit.

[T-Swizz]

KIB will bomb, you don't need to be a chart analyst to see that

Pretty much. Like it's not hard to figure out.

[collin]

People aren't "sure" about either of these singles but everyone seemed sure that Work would flop. Moral: don't listen to fomos (esp. Taylor Swift fans).
