Needed Me is taking off by itself and NEEDS to be released to all formats and markets now or else it'll be too late
KIB will be overshadowed by Work, which is still doing well, or even Dark Horse'd / XO'd by Needed Me
Dual releases never work.

I'll obviously support the song (and Rih), but this is a mess

This is exactly how I feel right now. Oh well. I mean, at least it's getting released!

Are these stills real?

Both of their single covers are so good.

Work is falling on all metrics I think its a good decision considering the circumstance.

This song's ETERNAL replay value.

Yes. Rihanna and team are in tune with single performance and the rollout this time.

The execution is all of a sudden spot on. She is all systems go after that ANTI rollout debacle.

She's got her targets locked.

[Flawle$$]

The video is being released too soon...

She's so gonna snatch much extra SPS power with the dual release + Work when there's no competition in the album charts.

After two messy Eras and 3 years of basically nothing this is 'ANTI' for her.



Why can't you guys consider this a SIO -> BS/Style situation instead of a Dark Horse or DIL/XO one

Style = KIS
BS = Needed Me
I approve

This is ****ing stupid, first of all Work was mismanaged. Her team could've spun a 10+wk #1 single with some promo, releasing the second vid later and a discount / remix in about two weeks from now.

I don't even like NM but it's charting, put all resources into that do it can get maximum AirPlay and attention. Summer is coming which would be perfecto for KIB and NM would die down by then.

As KIB's radio release is a day before the video release I prefer it to be the other way round but slay anyway

The US is not the only chart in the world babe....

The US is actually pretty covered.... is the other charts that need a push... thats why KIB is coming so soon...

The US still has Work very high... and her team knows that NM will do more than fine even without the video yet... as the US is more into Urban stuff... but ANTI needs a WW push... and KIB needs the buzz to be hear and then start growing from there.

NM in the US will happen gradually as it was happening as soon as radio plays it

So true. Needed Me will devour KIB...Its already doing extremely well on streaming and sales compared to KIB which has been paid dust by the GP...God I hope I'm wrong. KIB deserves to smash on its own.

You forgot this is the 'ANTI' era..literally what she's doing is the exact opposite of the expected. 'Anti' indeed.

I agree! KIB can save the album WW

[Nippy'sReceipts]

A Rihanna 2nd- 3rd single video coming EARLY. Truly an ANTI experience.
