The UK market operates a system of releasing singles later than every other country. Same applies to Ireland in more circumstances. Previously, due to the sales only charting requirements, it was expected that a song would be premiered on radio and released 6-8 weeks later. Therefore it would have more time on the airwaves before it debuted. Hopefully this would create a high debut and therefore longevity when people see it at the top of the charts.
That's why all songs are released later in the UK. Well, 90% of them. Rihanna normally doesn't. Wild wasn't either. The majority (except Rihanna) who release on impact flop, so they're best to follow this strategy.
