This is already an unorthodox record that fits more for the Summer, I think it can be a late late bloomer to be quite honest with some promotion, I hated Shakira's parts and the chorus prior but the video changed my mind. I can't get enough of the song!
The delusional part of my own self is really expecting this to be Rihanna´s usual weekend freeze and that the song is going to start slaying from Monday-Friday again, and the other part assumes the reality that this song is going nowhere without the promo Shakira doesnt seem interested to do

I agree. I think this song will be kinda stable in the 20s and 30 on iTunes until Spring... a performance at the BBMA could send it into the top 10. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. For now it has streaming on its side, if radio picks it up I should soar.
GP is not here for the song. Of course the video is gonna be streamed because who doesn't wanna watch 2 most sexy women together....but yeah. I hope it at least goes top 10 thanks to new BB streaming rules.
Something has gotta give, Shakira should capitalize off it now since the video is doing great and promote.
- Waiting until the Spring is too far away, it will probably peak by then.
Hopefully the response to the video will boost radio airplay. This is still an example of a single that could be very easily promoted with great success and yet has received fairly minimal promo.
