June 2, 201114 yr I am so glad this is taking off, it's my favourite Rihanna song. Yes it's MoR, but it's her best vocal so far in her career and just effortlessly catchy.
June 5, 201114 yr Author moves up 12 places to #8 in the UK this week ^_^ her fourth straight top 10 hit from 'Loud' :cheer:
June 6, 201114 yr Really getting into this now i'm hearing it more on the radio, it never really hit me at first for some reason..
June 18, 201114 yr It seems not to be taking off in the US just yet especially considering the video has been around for about a month.
June 18, 201114 yr I don't think it's getting too much airplay (from urban stations anyway, they're playing Man Down instead), but it has been climbing on the Hot 100 (60 atm, compared to 63 - Man Down's peak so far)
June 18, 201114 yr Isn't 'Man Down' the one they're pushing for in the US? :unsure: I don't know, I'm confused :lol: AFAIK it's just an urban radio single, like Raining Men was when urban radio wouldn't play S&M. But it's doing almost equally as well as CKB with just that. Edited June 18, 201114 yr by Liаm
June 19, 201114 yr Author Chart update; Australia - 28-18-16-17-19-8-4-4-9-14 New Zealand - 18-13-13-11-14-5-4-4-11 UK - 54-36-20-8-15-15 Netherlands - 27-24-15-12-9 Ireland - 27-13-12-11-13-14 Belgium - 40-19-12 Switzerland - 56-39-28-22 Canada - 82-42-31-27-23 Austria - 59-46-36-26 Denmark - 34 France - 83-78-61-48 Sweden - 59 US - 80-66-65-60 Its only started taking off in some countries (e.g. Austria, Denmark, Sweden) so it'll probably have a higher peak in the next few weeks. I wish it was doing better in the US :( It'll be shame if it fails to crack the Top 20 at least after its past three predecessor's were #1.
June 22, 201114 yr Man Down is popular on radio, but not on downloads. CKB is popular on downloads, but it stalled on radio. They basically cancel each other out, and are both stalling in the upper 40s on the BBH100. :no:
