I don't know who the biggest Rihanna loon is on BuzzJack. I'm hoping its me :ph34r:

 

But even I am not as obsessed to 'WFL' as much as I was in the first two days of its release :(

 

I just hope the second single is much better.

 

Saying that, maybe the music video will make me love the song even more, who knows ? :P

'We Found Love' is still incredible to me! This last quater of the year is ALWAYS so good for new music though. Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna, The Saturdays (MHTO), Cher Lloyd and others. Those four would definitely be number 1 in my personal charts at some point, if they weren't up against each other! :nocheer:

I've noticed how busy it is too, I've got My Heart Takes Over, Marry The Night, Shake It Out and Don't Go Breaking My Heart fighting for the top. Poor Rihanna will drop to like 6/7 :o

I got tired of Only Girl rather quickly a week or so after I first heard it. Similar with the next two Loud singles; it took a while for me to like them again. Only Girl is now my favourite of those three. I'm still not tired of We Found Love.

 

It's not her best work by any means, but it's still up quite high in there.

 

This does bode well for the new album, and of course, RiRi's success in my personal chart. :kink:

YELLOW DIAMONDS IN THE LIGHT

 

Easily cemented itself as one of THE pop releases of the year. Stunning stuff.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME :(

 

Rihanna Navy UK! The wait is over We Found Love will be available on iTunes Wednesday at midnight!

 

Why release it on a Wednesday ? ¬_¬

Its' released tonight on Irish iTunes :(

Seriously?! :(

Have the Sugababes taken over control for this era for something?WEDNESDAY?! I guarantee it'll peak at 2 behind overrated Moves Like Jagger -_-Hopefully it can maybe keep up enough popularity to stay at 2 all week and overtake MLJ when it begins to fall.

A Wednesday! No, no...

 

You know, it could still go to #1. I'm being optimistic, but it could beat MLJ, it's a slow week. Probably will stall at #2 or #3 now, though, a la Born This Way.

I don't think this is deserving of #1, its a good song but not great, not in the same league as any from the 'Loud' era imo. I really hope the 2nd single + album tracks are better.

Maybe this means her X Factor performance will be next Sunday, as they usually have a huge artist along with the previous year's winner on the first live show? I hope it doesn't beat MLJ this week, but it can have as many weeks after that at #1 as it wishes :D

Does that mean released tomorrow night? I think it could maybe get #1 with 4 full days sales. It'll be interesting for sure :)

What difference does it make whether it gets to #01 or #02 this week? It won't alter how successful it is overall. If it's going to the massive FORCE many expect then she'll reach the top the following week surely?

 

People are too inherently obsessed with chart positions and don't look at things beyond the coming Sunday it seems.

YES!!!!!!! Thank you so much RiRi - hopefully you can #1, if not this week then next week (but Matt is tough competition unless she's on X Factor too - that would be a nice reunion :D)

This didn't happen to Born This Way, nor did it happen to Where Them Girls At, despite most people predicting that they'd be a huge #1 no matter when they were released. I'm not ruling out #1, but it could easily end up as a #2 stuck behind Maroon 5 this week, and then either one or both of Matt Cardle and Gym Class Heroes next week.

 

It's far too early to predict accurately anyway.

Then surely that highlights what a manipulated process the charts are? It isn't a barometer of the most popular song of the time rather the perfectly timed release to get the right and highest number of sales between Sunday-Saturday, which I'm sure is what it isn't about to most posters here as it doesn't mean anything?

 

Besides 'We Found Love' isn't really comparable to 'Born This Way' or 'Where Dem Girls At'? It's a totally different release strategy and the song isn't selling on the hype of a return?

Well, it is a return, technically, only Rihanna is fresher in people's minds, so the effect could arguably be more pronounced. Or not. How is it a different release strategy though?

 

As for the former point, yes it is 'Westlife-ism' to the max in the charts nowadays, but if it was totally manipulated, there'd be a big release this week planned in advance, but there isn't, whereas there are 2 huge releases next week, and that's without taking into account Lana Del Rey and now Rihanna, who should both be strong contenders in any case.

 

And for what the charts mean, oh man, that's a whole other debate. Should it be genuinely the most popular song of the time? Well, yes, it should ideally be, but given its more important role (for the record companies) as a barometer of future success, they want their song to get to #1, no matter the sales success, as it's pretty much a huge amount of 'free' promotion and status that comes with topping the chart. We just have to live with that. I can live with that.

Can I just say she looks SO GOOD with platinum blonde hair! :o

#93 on iTunes already :D
