June 20, 20169 yr amazing!! maybe this could be a decent UK hit once it gets a push on radio (could be soon now that Kiss It Better has been, flopped and gone). although RiRi currently has two songs in the top 5 as part of Calvin Harris and Drake songs so it could easily get overshadowed.
June 20, 20169 yr Unfortunately I think 'Needed Me' is too urban to be a hit outside of the US. But 'Kiss It Better' flopping everywhere is such an injustice :(
July 8, 20168 yr Crazy to think 'Kiss It Better' is the more commercial sounding, radio friendly hit, yet it's 'Needed Me' that breaks into the top 40! I think the video might've stuffed KIB chances tbh :(
July 9, 20168 yr I love the KIB video so much. The main reason why it flopped in the UK was Spotify I guess... apparently peaking at #51 at 3 different occasions. Very frustrating. Should've at least peaked inside the top 40 too. I do enjoy the 'Needed Me' slayage in the US though. 8 weeks top 10 now, still #7 as a peak but it's still doing really good on iTunes and Spotify. And all of this with a blocked video!
July 9, 20168 yr Tbh they need to send this to radio in the UK, the fact it's gone top 40 here with no push is very promising so I'm sure it could go Top 20 at least!
July 27, 20168 yr 'Needed God' is still going strong in the US. Top 10 for 11 weeks now and it's still at its #7 peak (for the 5th non-consecutive week).
September 8, 20168 yr Needed Me has now spent fifteen weeks in the US Billboard Top 10 and is tied with a Kelly Clarkson song for the most weeks in the top 10 without peaking in the top 5 in Billboard history :o I wonder why this wasn't given a push in the UK, it peaked at #38 here in July and is still in the Spotify top 50, which indicates it could go at least top 20 with Radio 1 play listing etc.
September 9, 20168 yr shocked at the success of this. it's such a none event? NO. It's one of my absolute favourites.
September 12, 20168 yr Despite the low peak of #42 on the Dutch top 100 it's already in the chart for 20 weeks and still very stable :coffee: Queen of low-peak longevity.
September 12, 20168 yr Needed Me has now spent fifteen weeks in the US Billboard Top 10 and is tied with a Kelly Clarkson song for the most weeks in the top 10 without peaking in the top 5 in Billboard history :o She did it :w00t: #9 this week.
