It is performing like Only One itunes wise. What will determine if it ends up like the former is promo, even though it is a worse song and does not deserve to be R8's lead.
For a new Rihanna single after 2 whole years, it should be SLAYING! If it's Kanye's single, then why do they list Rihanna's name first on iTunes? It's clearly RIHANNA's single cuz she's named first. It's under performing cuz Rihanna is a dance artist. Nobody is looking to her to take risks.
The nature of the song isn't meant for 'smash success' and that's what so amazing about it
The people like you who expect, or I suppose just assume, that because it's Rihanna it's going to skyrocket to the top of the charts are funny. Rihanna is actually laughing at you considering she just released a folk pop song with a rap legend and one of the biggest musicians of all time and it's one of the freshest tracks she's ever created. The success thereafter is just in addition to the quality of the music.
