Rihanna - Where Have You Been

by **Breathe** » Sun May 27, 2012 10:22 am

Fed up with lazy record companies not releasing singles to iTunes, not buying it.

Just had to say, heard it for the first time on the radio at ab birthday party last week (not because it's not played often, but because I never listen to the radio myself

) and it is BANGING. Seriously, a perfect radio song.

At least they released a remix EP for this, although I wish the likes of Rihanna & Beyoncé would release digital EPs for all their singles.

I'm loving this at the moment, it's perfect for the summer weather. I'm still bitter they brushed the superior "Talk That Talk" under the carpet though.

I know, how do they expect fans to buy the song again if they already have the album if they released a ep then they would be more inclined to buy maybe.

It is a good strategy actually... People have to look for Talk That Talk in order to buy Where Have You Been. It would be stupid to release an extra Ep or single version, because a single is there to sell the Album...

But fans that already have the album arnt likely to buy it again are they if they had an ep with new tracks or remixes they would buy no?

This is doing good, but not the ultra smash huge #1 hit that everyone, including me, was hoping for. :

This was never going to smash like WFL because so many people already have it on the album. If it was released as a lead single before the album dropped I believe it could have been WFL massive but we'll have to settle for a good medium sized hit that sells album and the upturn there is already apparent in her major markets.

It would've done better had it been released second, or perhaps third after a full release of "Talk That Talk".

"You Da One" was such an appalling single choice, and it didn't help to prolong the hype about the new album at all.

So true! It should have been the second single released sometime in February. Would have surely been an even bigger hit!
