The point is, pages of her book "leaked", naming Rihanna. Hence the "However, following leaks" line. I don't believe it though. Rihanna knows good and well that Nicki is her lesbian life partner. I will accept nothing less.

Love the teasers so far. Different to what she's done before. That's skull shoulder pads in the second one, isn't it? Awesome!

Fantastic choice. He's done so much good work, he's probably the best choice right now!

Oh that's horrible... Man Down and Complicated are two of the best songs on the album!!! This is just crazy... :cry:

They're doing a video for it and all, I think it's a legit release at some point, not just a free download. They're doing this and another song. Liking the track, not either of them's best work, but pretty enjoyable. Hopefully the other song ends up better.

That'd be great, it'd mean most people will see her front page at the start of their day!

The trailer looks great! Was seriously expecting this to suck, but I'm starting to get the feeling that there's really some potential here. Just gotta avoid spoilers now for the next four months. Will not be easy!

The stripped version is beautiful, I prefer it to the original. It's a shame the song got over shadowed by everything else though.

Oh god, not Jedward, that'd be awful. It's something that's not going to translate at all. Sadly, I can't see any of the other acts getting the nod instead. We're doomed to Jedward.

It's up? One of her PR lot tweeted that it wouldn't be up at midnight, but rather during the day because "midnight releases take lots of planning". Mental.

Glad Skin came last, to be honest, but surprised to see Cheers so low! I'm worried Complicated will be close after it too. Sad times...

It's apparently up on iTunes "sometime during the day". I wish this wasn't all so half-assed. It's gonna lose 1 1/2 days of sales like.

Rihanna said it in a video interview that they were working on something, and that it'd probably be on Katy's re-release. So clearly that must be the current plan, to do a re-release. I'll try and find the video. It was some fashion interview, I think!

Why not sure? To be honest, there's so much good stuff out there, from K-Pop, Spanish albums (Shakira especially), even, as mentioned Sigur Ros, I mean they released an album in an entirely made up language! You don't need to understand the words to connect to the emotion of a song, not if it's done right.

That, or she's just plain easy. Seriously though, these guys must be real bored at the moment to make such a stupid claim. It's clearly for publicity, but nobody's gonna go "Well, it's a country song, but it's got two lines the same, so I gotta get that too!".

She can't have ripped it off. It quite clearly doesn't have a DUBSTEB BREAKDOWN.

What happened to Night Nurse? I actually liked it, though this does sound like a better single.

I'd be happy if she got top 10 with this, delighted with top 5. It's not my favourite song by her, but in fairness, it's not hers either. Hoping the album is a lot better. She seems happy with the full product.

286k. And 3 was 255k. So it's a big ask.

650k. I don't know if she'll do it, but I think she could be close.

I don't care if she makes an issue video or not, I just want one that suits the song. Alejandro just didn't work. I hope she pares it back, just a bit.

It does roll, but the bars are the last 48 hours prior to the update (so it's every twenty minutes, basically it adjusts).

It's not a bad decision if she actually decides to promote, to be honest. Those are the two biggest markets outside of the US, let radio play build for a while, hit a bit of TV (Dancing On Ice, The Brits, a couple of German tv shows) and she's got a chance at the top. Womanizer suffered because by the time she could promote it in the UK, it had been out for a few weeks. Maybe she's going to give it a proper crack?

Delighted to see her storming it. Plus, she's getting the radio support she needs to debut number 1. Amazing!

She won't catch him for a while though, surely? Have you seen how big the bar differences are? He's still miles ahead, sadly. Hopefully by tomorrow night though!
