Mixed feelings about that... I mean it's great it's increasing, but I'd rather it peak well on its own merit.

1. 1 Ne-Yo - Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself) 1 9,745

wtf

[StrawberryBlond 14,264]

So pleased that Bruno's missing out on that #1. It was bad enough that Canada and America made it #1 last minute without the UK knuckling down too. It just isn't fair. The single was released over two months ago! Why is it suddenly becoming a hit now when every other artist has their chance upon release and then if it flops initially, it's over? I would have been so happy if his lead single didn't go to #1 anywhere as it might be a sign that his chart reign is nearing its end, but alas, it looks like he'll be around for a bit longer.

Stay is doing better than I thought, but considering it has no video, no further promotion until next year and was promoted way too early, it looks like it won't go #1. I'm noticing a trend - Rihanna only has two singles that go to #1 in the UK per album, maximum (GGGB and Loud had 2 #1's) but all her other albums have either had no UK #1's (MOTS, AGLM, RR) or just one #1 (TTT). Unapologetic has currently just one #1 and I highly doubt she's going to get any more #1's now as the only #1's Rihanna ever gets is when it's a first or second single or is the lead single from a re-release. Plus, her album has already been released and Rihanna's single positions always start worsening after her album's released. It's going to be interesting to see how much mileage she can continue to get out of the UK with her experimental music, especially if she's not going to release an album next year.

[Mills 446]

The UK simply loves Rihanna. It seemed Stay might just extend her list of #1 hits. :party:

[Harry 26,836]

I personally think Stay is a wonderful song. The credit needs to go to Mikky Ekko for writing it though. Anyone could've sung Rihanna's part, though she does sound good. The way this marketing has been done is so shady though Release two ballads as singles when the rest of the album is mostly ghetto filler ****. It's the Adele strategy.

[Sexxx 5,538]

TV plays stupid music videos :smh:
