UK Charts Discussion (Part 2)

[Smithy 2,268]

I think it went off then back on, I checked a few days ago and it wasn't there, anyway I hope they use it a lot during the olympics, it's so apt :flutter:

[StrawberryBlond 14,225]

Isn't WHYB officially only the 3rd single though?

It should have been released as the 2nd single IMO

Yes, WHYB is the third official single. BC was a US release and TTT...I don't really know what that was but I was led to believe it wasn't a global single. They didn't do overly well in US markets - BC went to #24 and TTT went to #31. I don't know why she's being selective about where she's releasing them and she didn't promote anything after WFL well. It baffles me because after a huge single like WFL, wouldn't you want to promote your next releases just as well, in the hopes of getting another big hit? It was like her team didn't care afterwards and didn't even release videos for BC and TTT. YDO was a flop of epic proportions and it was all downhill from there. Don't understand why WHYB wasn't released sooner - it was obvious lead or second single material. It could have shot straight to #1 if she hadn't released the godawful YDO and spoiled her chances. But it looks set to be a pretty decent hit. RIhanna's team will be entirely in Calvin Harris's debt after this for providing the two songs that saved this album from being a complete write-off.

TTT was the third official single here, it was playlisted by R1, she performed it on JR, etc

It just flopped because it's ****

[Harry 26,836]

You should stalk them after the show

I hear Beyonce is going to be with Jay, I so should

Kim Kardashian is with Yeezy too so I might punch her in the face :giveup:

[ExorcismGaga 2]

I'm gonna need that Rita Ora song to **** off

Ikr, it's horrible

Yeah, after WFL she had the potential to have another massive hit but they just left everything to flop

The fact that WHYB is doing pretty well on iTunes so late after album release shows how much it would have smashed if it was released as a single earlier
