Lol what? this is the most global lead single by a pop girl since Roar.

[Vertigo Stick]

Her leads always do this. Next thing you know the song is everywhere. She's not one to debut at #1 with 500k. It's more like she accumulates it over time to get that 4x platinum status

Not when Shake It Off exists.

45S is already doing better globally when we compare the first days.

By globally I mean important markets (excluding the US but it'll probably top it in a few weeks)

not cute markets where you sell 5 copies

Turkey (your own country) is where it is currently #1 tho

[Valera]

So.. was it worth?
This is like saying why Shake it Off peaked at 15 with major promo in France, and FFS is easily number 1. So much for an underperformance.

I said excluding the US, SIO was only doing better in the US while 45S is doing better worldwide

and that's without being a pop song about haters gonna hate hate hate

just my 2 cents

Yes, but her point was that US =/= the World, I believe that was her point, in case you failed to understand.

Let the haters breathe

[Hugamari]

O no #2 on US iTunes peak her career is basically over.

Time to go back to Barbados and sell clothes on the street.

Like seriously? How about we wait until it actually...peaks? Then we can talk about flopping.

..or "underperforming" as it's so eloquently put in the title as to make it seem like it's not a troll thread.

you guys are so desperate to call this a flop it's pathetic. like it's obvious she wasn't trying to cater to what's on the radio. she did something completely different than anything on the radio.

the haters are just terrified because the queen is back and she took a huge risk so it's really scaring you guys! this is just the beginning of the R8 era and it's already off to a great start. Rihanna has 25 top 10 singles and 13 number ones, you guys really think she's not capable of creating a hit?

anyway Rihanna is back and im addicted to this song and thats all that matters.

[ChrisRTW]

It's not under performing,but it's not exactly taking off either.
The Boats really wanted this song to be a success.

[Nikolai.]

It's not catchy enough
