Single: Rihanna - "Kiss It Better" - Page 32

Y'all really need to stop and give this time.
Singles aren't normally promoted this way but when they are it's usually effective.
Wait til a week after the adds date to give up hope.

I can just feel it, It's gonna be a hit in the UK.

Don't be pessimist

This isn't some C-lister who needs radio spins to take off. It's one of the most successful recording artists EVER and she released an official video for this song, so #73 in her main market and not in the top 30 of any major market is really really bad. It still might end up being a moderate or even a proper hit in some markets, but it won't dominate like I wanted it to

But I've been negative about this ever since the dual release was confirmed. And I'm trying to shut up about it, but watching KIB bubble under is harsh

The song hasn't been even sent of radio officially.
It's gaining momentum just because of video and people genuinely are loving the song

One thing I have learned is to never count out a rihanna single. I am still positive about this song being a mega hit

You know they are. It's super annoying because the min a song doesn't take off it's "Omgg she's over" "she's losing___ market" "she's so stupid"

Stats wise: She already got a 6week number 1 song off the album, any more would be the icing on the cake.

Plus, Realistically we're not gonna get much promo with her being on tour.

It jumped 400 spots. STOP. Most of the people haven't heard it yet. You'd be suprised how many people are still listening to radios nowadays.

Everyone needs radio to take off. It doesn't matter if you're A-lister or C-lister. Look @ J.Lo, Mariah or even Bey and their recent singles. Radio wasn't there for them when they're all A-lister.

I'll try to chill and just stream it endlessly then.

But I've been a KIB stan from the get-go so that's what the mini-rant is about. If it was NM, I wouldn't give one ****

Her last second single released while the album was out was Stay. It was outside the top 100 in the US and had like 5 M airplay. It needed the GRAMMY performance and a vid to shoot up the charts. KIB does not have that much exposure yet.

And it will never have it.

Anyway views after 24 hours : +4.9M. That's pretty good.

31. Rihanna - Kiss It Better 0.1257 0.1143

Will pass #30 soon but it will be passed by #32 even sooner.

obrigado

Wait...the video just released yesterday.

And the adds date is on Tuesday.

Work is still rising on Pop radio and is #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

And we're feeling so pessimistic?

Relax, take a deep breath, go stream the song and video, and say a prayer.

These holed, stan'd arguments aren't cutting it.
Singles that aren't lead/remixed don't rocket. Not without radio or promo.
The fairly uneventful video has already done a GREAT deal for the song WW.

Work fell on all formats today.
It's an ideal scenario for Kiss It Better on pop.
If it's true they sent both songs to all formats though...

ForeverNow90

Kenya (#3) & Uganda (#15) stanning for this

Starkboy

California King Bed on iTunes (day after video premiere)

239. California King Bed (U.S iTunes)
97. California King Bed - Rihanna (UK iTunes)

Two days after

And it managed to go top10 in several countries, despite her promoting it only in US iirc.

Anyway this is nowhere to be found on Spotify

Yet Needed Me is #70 WW and #40 US.

Stream it hoes.

LostInStereo100

I feel like both current singles NM and KIB, have potential to go viral

I just can't wait to see where they peak

lostinparadise

Yeah, we def need to stream it.

And I love that there is no radio deal. It needs to grow on its own like it should. Radio deals can **** up longevity. KIB will have many formats playing it so I can see it doing really well on radio too
