Desperado

Or KIB

[Dekkan]

I think this is the song and this is the artist that can both make an impact on iTunes/radio after a performance.

That would've made sense, but I think they did this because Pop is playing more Rihanna songs (Too Good, Needed Me, TIWYCF) than Rhythmic or Urban so they want to make sure nothing is in the way of LOTB. I'm not sure, though, cause they've sent this to Rhythmic and Urban while Needed Me is still Top10 there..

Is The Weeknd signed to a Def Jam affiliate? They may have known Starboy was going for adds September 27 and decided to wait a week

[URBAN]

This sounds so good on the radio.

its gonna be a miracle if we get 1,2 performances

Promo could help but the song doesn't need promo , If we get radio support and a good video (not after 3 months) is gonna smash

Well I think everyone has spoke about promo very optimistically and is very aware of everything she has coming up. It's nothing wrong with hoping or speaking with optimism. I also think the optimism comes in with the amount of love she personally has for the song which makes people feel she would want to personally push this.

She was supposed to perform this at the BRITS back in 2015, no?

Makes me wonder if this was originally set to be the lead single.

Yozzz, if she can perform American Oxygen on SNL, then why not KIB?

Probably. She cancelled so many performances in the last two years. I needed that KIB performance at the Grammys!

How big was the effect after the BBMAs?

GREAT! was the VMA effect similar? I guess it was a tad overshadowed with the mass of songs Rih performed that night.

We need another performance (after it gained traction on radio) with the music video premiering shortly afterwards.

If they DARE to ruin the song's chances with a boring MV à la "Kiss It Better"...

[TheFireLexus]

This has genuine #1 potential on both sides of the pond

[WeFoundWill]

Hoping for SNL and AMAs. Thats all.

Too Good would be cute

Same Ol' Mistakes with Tame Impala in a perfect world

[Tristan]

Smash bitch smash

[Marq]

Can y'all imagine if this were to receive a professional/big budget Joseph Kahn-esque (LTWYL, Blank Space) video with a tangible plot about a bad relationship and Rihanna looking gorgeous as per?

A buzzworthy video like that paired with this classic, universally likable song would bring it to #1 no doubt.

Okay I need to stop getting my hopes up ugh

After the VMA's it was something like 40 on iTunes US and 150 on Spotify US?
