I think this will be one of the most remembered songs this year, I mean this song is EVERYWHERE. When this drops in the club everyone goes wild, it's all over radio, the memes just keep on coming, even if it only peaked at No. 2 over here it's still gonna outlive that god-awful 7 Years song :D

Yeah, this is HUGE worldwide. Surely going to be remembered as one of her biggest hits now. I'd never have expected that after it premiered/ BBHMM performance.

So glad this has been so massive! Will definitely become one of her defining songs now.

Without a doubt my favourite of hers now, just can't get enough of it.

 

So many great remixes too. The Lost Kings one on repeat at the moment 🙌🏼

 

For me, this is her most overrated song along with Stay. Does pretty much nothing to get me excited, although I dont hate it like the latter. Its just meh.

I just listened to the Lost Kings Remix under your recommendation and I love it :o I think I actually prefer it to the original!

Hm, I like 'Work' but it doesn't deserve to be the worldwide smash that it is. I'm hoping 'Kiss It Better' does well worldwide! In comparison to the other massive pop females, I would say Rihanna is my least favourite, I don't go back to her songs as much as I do with the others.

 

The album's performance in the UK is incredibly woeful though, I thought it's opening sales would have outsold it's current total.

When would a song's success be deserving tho?

The people obviously love it so its deserved as far as I know

Rihanna's always going to have a successful single if the song appeals towards radio stations? If anybody else released this song it would get nowhere near the same coverage and airplay. I'm aware that BBHMM and AO never performed as well as it should have worldwide but neither were pushed like FFS and 'Work'.

Yeah but despite it being pushed, there needs to be public interests. Its callout scores on radio were great and it's been selling really well. The fact that her name (which was kinda tarnished by her flops) helped the song a bit, doesn't take away from hoe deserved its success was imo

omg I love all the remixes! (except 'Burns Late Night Rollin' Mix').

 

Twerk a biT omg

This is alright actually in clubs.

 

Album poop.

 

Better than Robot Britney's Work anyway.

 

Not a memorable Ri song but decent.

Just made an 8th week at the top in America, her second longest running number 1 there after 'We Found Love' (10 weeks)

 

Rih also now ties with The Beatles for second-most total weeks of all time at number 1 with 59. *.*

I didn't think it would hold on to the #1 position! It's outside the iTunes top 10 now.
