BuzzJack Music Forum _ Rihanna _ Love On The Brain // 4th Single

Posted by: Andr00w Jul 22 2016, 01:50 PM

Apparently Sex With Me is looking likely to be the next single from ANTI as it was recently added to US Rhythmic Radio and is currently at #67! This definitely is not a favourite but it could do ok commercially I suppose? It's one of the most cherrypicked tracks of the album iirc

Love On The Brain NEEDS to be a single tho

Posted by: Atonement Jul 22 2016, 04:03 PM

I think whatever else she releases from ANTI will have a similar impact as Kiss It Better did. Sex with Me would be a nice urban single to close the era with in the US and then we get a brand new smash single in November from R9 (in a perfect world).

Posted by: SamJudd Jul 23 2016, 07:00 PM

'Desoerado' should be the next single, don't think this will have much impact at all.

Posted by: danG Jul 23 2016, 07:02 PM

Sex With Me sounds like a great choice. Could get a few extra sales from people who only bought the standard edition, it's urban enough to get good streams, and the song definitely leans itself towards a controversial video which always gets people talking.

Posted by: SamJudd Jul 24 2016, 04:25 PM

Just gave this another listen, and I do kinda like it, just need more time for this to grow on me, I think the reason why it didn't grow on me sooner is because I only own the standard edition of 'Anti', which was the only one available in my local HMV on the first week of it's release. I do however think that this is an interesting choice and could maybe boost album sales, more in the UK than USA, I think the dodgy release really affected it's peak.

I remember when everyone (including me) thought that between 'Kiss It Better & 'Needed Me'' the former would have been the bigger hit, but we were all wrong and 'NM' became much more successful, more in the USA with a top 10 peak, and UK it barely scrapped the top 40, but still a lot more successful than the more commercial sounding 'KIB' which basically tanked everywhere.

As for 'Sex With Me', I think again that it will do better in the USA, (maybe top 20 or 30), and for the UK, I'm actually really hoping that it will do better considering it's only on the Deluxe Version and may become a surprise hit, maybe top 40, if at least it gets a decent video ('KIB' vid was lame) or at least drive more album sales, cause she definitely needs it here in the UK, where it seems that people were only interested in the lead single and her collaborations, which are all doing well, but still the album's currently floundering.

However I'm still hoping that there will be more singles, 'Desperado', 'Love On The Brain' or maybe a re-recorded version of 'Higher' to make it full length and maybe get a guest feature on it.

I think there might be a few more singles but they might not get a big bush (three singles from Unapologetic weren't given a worldwide push)

Should be LOTB or nothing really...

Posted by: Jonjo Aug 10 2016, 02:52 PM

So Popjustice just posted an article saying that a DJ in the Phillipines has found out that 'Love On The Brain' will be the new single!

Really hope it's true! Easily my fave on the album wub.gif

Here is that said article! http://www.popjustice.com/thenews/apparently-rihannas-next-single-will-be-love-on-the-brain/

Posted by: Andr00w Aug 10 2016, 03:18 PM

This has to be true wub.gif I'd much prefer this to Sex With Me which was the other rumoured single!

Posted by: Atonement Aug 10 2016, 04:22 PM

To be honest I think everything released from this album will flop now so I had hoped she would've come back with the first single from her new album already instead of another Anti single.

But LOTB is amazing, although after hearing the live version the album version doesn't really satisfy me anymore. I hope we get a good video for it.

(And I also hope she'll still release 'Sex with Me' as a single in the US).

Posted by: burbe Aug 10 2016, 07:27 PM

Best choice! heart.gif

Posted by: Mackenzie Aug 10 2016, 07:45 PM

Yes best choice, then Desperado!

Posted by: mr_pmt Aug 12 2016, 04:13 PM

By far and away the best thing on the album.

Posted by: Jonjo Aug 22 2016, 11:40 AM

'Love On The Brain' is confirmed as the next single by Rihanna on Instagram!

She tagged a performance of this song with #NextSingle !

YAY.

Posted by: AdamAloud Aug 22 2016, 11:43 AM

Fantastic! Really the best choice and I can't wait to see the video.

Posted by: Andr00w Aug 22 2016, 03:15 PM

Finally! Can't wait for this to smash *.*

Posted by: Ryan. Aug 22 2016, 09:04 PM

This is BY FAR the best song on ANTI and she does it live fantastically - I'm still shocked when some people say Rihanna is poor live, even after constantly sensational performances of Diamonds and Stay. She's grown into a top notch singer over the years and can be just as good live vocally as the likes of Gaga when she wants to be and has the material to prove it. I imagine this will need a big promo slot to take off here and X Factor might be too far away but we'll see.

Posted by: liamk97 Aug 23 2016, 04:27 PM

I'm really liking this! Gorgeous vocals and it gives me Duffy/Amy Winehouse vibes at parts of the song.

I'd rather see a Strictly promo slot for this as I think it would be more beneficial.

Posted by: Atonement Aug 27 2016, 03:41 PM

'Love on the Brain' is in the Dutch tipparade (which functions as a bubbling under chart) and was there last week as well, but I didn't notice. I hope it'll enter the official top 40 sometime in the next few weeks!

Although I don't want to get my hopes up as 'Kiss It Better' stalled there as well and I haven't heard it on radio yet, it's not in the iTunes top 100 or in the Spotify chart laugh.gif

Posted by: Atonement Sep 9 2016, 02:10 PM

Love the cover.

Apparently they are waiting for 'Needed Me' to die (it's still slaying) on US radio before sending it to radio. Here's hoping for a good music video and fingers crossed the GP will take to it (I have some serious doubts about that).

Posted by: jakewild Sep 9 2016, 08:43 PM

I don't think anything's been filmed yet.

I won't forgive her if 'Kiss It Better' AND 'Love on the Brain' (two of the best singles of her career) will both flop. She better promote and release a really good video.

(and yes it's the 4th single).

Up to #212 on UK iTunes after being played on Radio One

Posted by: Fangdrew Oct 30 2016, 03:17 PM

US POP Airplay
87 - RIHANNA -Love On The Brain: 16.819 (+1.068)

I'm not sure how it works but that seems good I guess laugh.gif

Posted by: Atonement Oct 30 2016, 05:50 PM

It had a good update today. It had good updates on rhythmic radio last week and good updates on pop radio this week (especially today). I hope it can smash.

Also up to #96 in US iTunes.

Posted by: Atonement Nov 1 2016, 10:06 AM

Re-entered the Hot 100 at a new peak position of #80. SMASH. (Previous peak was #83).

It's also #8 on the Polish chart, its first top 10 position.

Posted by: Andrew. Nov 1 2016, 09:27 PM

A clean version of Sex With Me will be sent to US Urban Radio through the HitDisc compilation on Friday apparently! ohmy.gif

This doesn't mean it's definitely a single but if it is I guess it'll be released with LOTB like Needed Me was with Kiss it Better?

(If the rumour turns out to be false I'll merge this with the LOTB thread)

Posted by: Atonement Nov 1 2016, 10:33 PM

'Sex with Me' has been played on Urban US Radio for quite some time now. I think it just kind of took off on its own, like 'Loveeeeeee Song' did too.

Posted by: Andrew. Nov 4 2016, 04:07 PM

Up to B-List on Radio One!

EDIT: And now up to #178 on iTunes! Millon seller coming through

Posted by: Andrew. Nov 7 2016, 04:21 PM

#81 on iTunes, it wasn't even top 150 yesterday ohmy.gif Get that hit.

Posted by: Atonement Nov 7 2016, 06:57 PM

And it's also #64 on US iTunes.

It's coming everybody sob.gif

Posted by: mr_pmt Nov 7 2016, 07:48 PM

I'm in love with this again. wub.gif

Posted by: Atonement Nov 8 2016, 07:33 AM

I'm really starting to have faith that this is going to be become an actual hit now. I read it's also charted in Sweden and Austria. Sure, they're low positions for now but it's hopeful.

Dutch radio hasn't played it yet but I can't imagine that they won't soon.

Posted by: Atonement Nov 10 2016, 10:18 AM

#51 in the US now and #59 on UK iTunes.

It's definitely outperforming 'Kiss It Better' in the US but I just remembered KIB did pretty well on UK iTunes (peaked around top 20 for a while) and only peaked at #46 in the chart. I hope LOTB will do better. I think Spotify is going to be a real problem for LOTB though, and not just in the UK but anywhere.

Here's hoping for some Spotify payola from her team biggrin.gif

IIRC Kiss It Better wasn't doing much on iTunes in the UK until the video dropped so I think that's a good sign.

I'm a bit worried we're not getting a video to be honest laugh.gif. Or one that's much too late like 'Pour It Up'. I don't think anything's been shot yet and she's doing the Valerian movie right now.

Pls prove me wrong Rih.

Up to #34 on the Billboard! ohmy.gif It's such a shame this isn't doing much in the UK (it pretty much has no chance now after Radio 1 dropping it). RELEASE A VIDEO

Posted by: Atonement Dec 2 2016, 07:24 PM

I know I keep going on about it but the ANTI era could've been so much bigger in Europe if she had just recorded 'Cheap Thrills' and had released it over the Summer. I'm 95% certain radios would have absolutely no problem picking LOTB up following such a huge hit.

Maybe it can still happen though once the video drops or the song smashes in US. LOTB already hit #1 in Poland (which is based on airplay only). Dutch radio played it only once and that was a remix in the middle of the night... It's so frustrating because this song has the potential to be one of her career defining songs. I'm starting to think she should've released this as the lead.

Posted by: Andrew Sleighs Dec 13 2016, 05:28 PM

Became her 40th top 20 single on the Billboard Hot 100.

Posted by: Jonjo Jan 20 2017, 01:31 AM

So this is still happening in America it seems. Just reached the top 10 on US iTunes *.*

If this eventually goes top 10 on Billboard Hot 100, it'll be her millionth top 10 or something!

Posted by: ★ Jay ★ Jan 20 2017, 08:33 AM

G'won *.* I wish something would make it happen here in the UK. sad.gif

Joseph pointed out to me the other day that it's being released on CD single in Germany (in fact it's out today). ohmy.gif https://www.amazon.de/Love-Brain-2-Track-Rihanna/dp/B01NALNKIN/ It includes the Don Diablo Remix. The last time she had a CD format there was with FourFiveSeconds!

Posted by: AdamAloud Jan 20 2017, 01:03 PM

Rihanna is one of the few artists where I still do buy the physical product, although I hate inconsistencies with physical releases!

Posted by: Atonement Jan 20 2017, 06:10 PM

This really needs a video to push it a bit more in Europe. I'm secretly hoping they're planning a Grammy performance + a video release and iTunes discount that same night. Also Spotify playlist adds would help as its Spotify position is holding it back.

None of this will happen but a girl can dream.

Posted by: Atonement Jan 30 2017, 06:35 AM

Dutch radio is playing this song! Praise the lord. It took them long enough but it seems like they have finally forgiven Rihanna for inflicting urban songs on them last year.

(OK so far only one station is playing but I hope the others are not too far behind).

Posted by: Andrew. Feb 3 2017, 11:36 AM

Rihanna has released a remixes ep for Sex With Me on iTunes, could this mean it's the next single? ohmy.gif


Posted by: Andrew. Feb 3 2017, 11:36 AM

This is a great song and probably the most commercial left on ANTI but LOTB is still doing well in America so she should wait a few months. An ANTI tour video would be brilliant *.*

Posted by: mr_pmt Feb 3 2017, 11:21 PM

I don't think they're gonna invest much in another single at this stage, although maybe with 'Love On The Brain' doing so well in the US they think it's worth following it up.

Personally I hate this song, but I do hear it referenced a lot IRL and in popular culture.

Posted by: danG Feb 3 2017, 11:49 PM

Is there much point in releasing a fifth single though especially as, Love On The Brain hasn't really done anything outside of the US?

Posted by: Cremey Feb 22 2017, 12:00 AM

It's officially become her THIRTIETH top 10 on the billboard hot 100, charting at 8 this week.
She now has the third highest number of top 10s behind the Beatles (34) and Madonna (38).
Won't be long until she has the most ever, surely?

GET IT, RIH.

Posted by: mr_pmt Feb 22 2017, 06:18 PM

Can't believe it. ohmy.gif So thoroughly deserved too.

Posted by: Atonement Feb 24 2017, 07:17 AM

It's even projected to go to #5 this week ohmy.gif

Also #7 (+16) in Austria this week.

Posted by: lewistgreen Feb 24 2017, 04:53 PM

MK Remix is really clicking with me rn.

Posted by: Cremey Mar 14 2017, 07:51 AM

Made it to #5! Means it's her 22nd top 5 now, which is the fourth most of any artist ever, after The Beatles, Madonna, Mariah and Janet 🙌🏼 She only needs 8 more to have the most ever 😏

Posted by: Tyler Mar 14 2017, 09:25 AM

Her best single in eras tbh, very well deserved.

Posted by: Jonjo Mar 14 2017, 12:43 PM

If only it translated into being a UK smash!!

She seems to have abandoned us completely this era! :/

Posted by: Tinasha Mar 14 2017, 12:46 PM

The success in America is from radio airplay isn't it? It's only #35 on iTunes and #37 Spotify in the US.

Incredible *.* I have no clue why this didn't even make the top 150 here, it received decent enough airplay and a good reception from fans/critics? It's sold around 100k though which isn't bad.

Posted by: Andrew. Mar 23 2017, 05:24 PM

I really think this could've gone top 20 if she'd went on X Factor/Brit Awards and done a BBMA style performance. Can't believe her only promo in the UK during the whole ANTI era has been one Brit Awards performance though 😫

It'd be lovely to see this finally chart, if it does. It's magnificent.

The performance was all over the place but she's got so much potential, regardless of that it is MAD the original hadn't gone top 40 on iTunes prior to this performance :/ It's one of her best songs for me and everyone seems to love it.

"Love on the Brain" reenters the UK sales chart at a new peak of #65 cheer.gif

Omg fab *.* It's a shame it took someone covering on X Factor but at least it finally charted a bit better laugh.gif

Silver seller coming through

New peak

Still top 200 on iTunes

Ridiculous that it took that to get a new peak, as Liam says, but still good to see it benefitting!
Definitely could've been a big hit with a performance or video </3

Fell in love with this all over again, I think this might be my favourite Rihanna vocals ever wub.gif if I had to present a song in a any song AFSC or anything like that I think it'd be this purely because it shows more than anything how damn TALENTED she is, I dare y'all to make someone who thinks Rihanna can't sing listen to this. Queen <3

To think it only peaked at #145 in the UK! ohmy.gif It really deserved more attention here. sad.gif

(Side note: Wikipedia states that it peaked at #175, but that was only its entry position.)

How can a song that only went to #145/#175 go silver? It sounds like a certification that's not too hard to get then..

By being streamed 20,000,000 times tongue.gif Amazing achievement though, such a shame that it underperformed in the charts here sad.gif Imagine what its sales would be if there was a video and/or X Factor performance!

Some glimmer of justice for this song at last <3

It's a huge shame that she didn't shoot a music video for it. cry.gif Very remiss of her/her team, given that it became such a huge hit in the US. I suppose it could be argued that it didn't need one, but it's always nice for a single to have a visual treatment.

I always wish we got a proper single treatment for this.

It’s UK peak is so low from what I’d probably say is the best vocals Rihanna has ever done on a track. It’s sales are pretty strong though but this deserved at least top ten! I’d love more throwback tracks like this what show off her natural vocals.

At least it went top ten in the US.
