November 26, 20168 yr I wonder if the label are cancelling it? Maybe they wanna push it in the awards season?
November 29, 20168 yr Author Up to #34 on the Billboard! :o 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
December 2, 20168 yr 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.
December 13, 20168 yr Author Became her 40th top 20 single on the Billboard Hot 100. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/67d90ee8.gif
January 20, 20178 yr 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!
January 20, 20178 yr G'won *.* I wish something would make it happen here in the UK. :( Joseph pointed out to me the other day that it's being released on CD single in Germany (in fact it's out today). :o https://www.amazon.de/Love-Brain-2-Track-Ri.../dp/B01NALNKIN/ It includes the Don Diablo Remix. The last time she had a CD format there was with FourFiveSeconds!
January 20, 20178 yr Rihanna is one of the few artists where I still do buy the physical product, although I hate inconsistencies with physical releases!
January 20, 20178 yr 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.
January 30, 20178 yr 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). Edited January 30, 20178 yr by Atonement
February 3, 20178 yr Author Rihanna has released a remixes ep for Sex With Me on iTunes, could this mean it's the next single? :o
February 3, 20178 yr Author 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 *.*
February 3, 20178 yr 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.
February 3, 20178 yr 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?
February 22, 20178 yr 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.
February 24, 20178 yr It's even projected to go to #5 this week :o Also #7 (+16) in Austria this week.
March 14, 20178 yr 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 😏
March 14, 20178 yr If only it translated into being a UK smash!! She seems to have abandoned us completely this era! :/
