Man Down is doing better in Europe bc it got an official release there. Like Mark said, Man Down was only an Urban single, and a Top 10 one at that. It isn't a matter of if they like risky Rih or not. Rude Boy and S&M were huge here.
I was talking about a more risky sound. Not the lyrics. You can talk about Urban releases all you want but we're talking about a superstar here and not some B-star rapper. If the general public really liked the song, they would have noticed the song.
Every single from Loud was pretty much a hit in most countries in Europe. Including CKB and Mandown. Why not in the USA?
I guess Europe just likes Rihanna more in general.
