@ BBHMM's new peak. If she could drop the video soon, and perform it at Billboard Music Awards. This could hopefully reach top 10.

Yet we know she won't do that.

The video will be released next month when the song dies down.
And i don't think she's going to attend the BBMAs.

It's obvious the GP like BBHMM better than AO, maybe even more than FFS. So I don't get why she doesn't promote it? To me it has HIT written all over it and it's a shame to let it go like that.

[Pandora30012]

do you think she will perform at the billboard awards?

[istan4badgalriri]

BBHMM video alone should make it go Top 10 in the US, no need to perform it again on a award show. If she attends BBMAs I could see her performing AO as it would be the perfect platform to give it the big exposure it needs.

I highly doubt Rih will pay dust to AO, she wouldn't have released it as a single 3 weeks after BBHMM & after the March Madness opportunity if the plan was to go fully into BBHMM, plus this song is really important to her.

However I hope she'll perform both songs on SNL, GMA, Ellen, etc. for album promo.

[RihRihGirrrl]

The fact that she wasted the March Madness promo, didn't even give AO an iTunes banner and but instead a messy as release tells me that she's not gonna give it any kind of push.....I doubt she performs it anywhere tbh

[istan4badgalriri]

They actually gave it Spotify & VEVO treatment instead. It was also promoted by Spotify on "New music Monday" & other playlists.

It costs money to have your song on radio, on iTunes, on Spotify and to shoot a video (they even closed a live runway for the shoot), if they wasted the March Madness opportunity yet released AO as a single, they probably have a plan.
I mean it was probably all planned to release the song first on Tidal, then on iTunes. AO was meant to be a single for months, they could've cancelled its release and just leave it as a Tidal exclusive but they didn't, they didn't even try to avoid that "messy release" so I guess they have a plan.

So basically we already know half of R8:

1. FFS
2. BBHMM
3. AO
4. Higher
5. A Night
6. James Joint
7. Kiss It Better
8. Promise

we don't even know if all of those songs are gonna make the cut

[BajanBeauty]

That and we don't even know how many songs will be on the album.

It will likely be more than her usual 12 tracks if she has multiple interludes.

Yeah i agree....I think it'll be her longest album too

[SayIt]

AO sold 19 K more than predicted

[BajanBeauty]

19k, When will the others

[Cheers]

James Joint is so good

[SaneBeyhannaStan]

I was listening to Disturbia, Diamonds and it's amazing how far she's coming.

And Does anybody remember that interview where Rih talked about how she wanted to avoid her songs blowing up fast this era like in the past ?

Isn't that kinda what she's following a formula ? I feel like she wants her songs to not immediately blow up this year which goes with her timeless soulful aggressive she says she is going for ?

Or do I need to lay off the blunt ?

[BajanBeauty]

Thats an interesting way to look at it. She very well could have promoted 4FS more and made it a bigger "hit" but then when I watch a video from March Madness, Drake concert, Grammys and see how the crowd sings along w 4FS gives me the feeling it won't be forgotten like so many thought initially.



& the thing about labeling a song timeless or a classic is its not until years later that one can determine if a song stood the test of time. Letting a song or album marinate w fans or the public is something Rih rarely did in the past.
which is why IMO her only true timeless song is Umbrella. Diamonds, WFL are deff next to become "timeless" hits for her but are still fairly new.

I do believe we may have a little promo coming but I think she's letting music speak louder but not promoting it much . The era seems more organized than others
. I truly believe that a.) Tidal was supposed to blow up and she's aware it hasn't worked.
Why else is JJ Not on there ?

She's still staying silent but she's resumed her little by little strategy
