...What is going on here? Rihanna's "We Found Love" has a +1500 bullet and is looking to hit #1. But here comes this:

Her label really called in the payola on the weekend. Exhibit A: Saturday Nov 12 update: -- 44 RIHANNA You Da One 747 0 747 10.368 + 747 Spins + 747 Bullet + 10.368 AI Sunday Nov 13 update -- 28 RIHANNA You Da One 1724 0 1724 20.764 + 977 Spins + 977 Bullet + 10.396 AI Monday Nov 14 update: -- 24 RIHANNA You Da One 2527 0 2527 29.228 + 803 Spins + 803 Bullet + 8.464 AI Tuesday Nov 15 (today's update): -- 23 RIHANNA You Da One 2660 0 2660 30.776 + 133 Spins + 133 Bullet + 1.548 AII guess Def Jam was too cheap to keep going along with the payola .

I just don't understand what good this release does, whether they're paying for its rise up the charts or not. What are they looking to accoplish here?

They want her to have 2 huge songs on radio, her album drops Monday and she has yet to get a #1 album.
That and they NEED her to have airplay so they can try and get another #1. They're done with WFL, it hit #1, it did its job.

Quite possibly her worst single ever, I don't get why it was so rushed.

I tried making it through all of this. But there are important things to do.

This peaked at a staggering #24. Now what was the point of that?

What an epic FAIL. I hope it doesn't rebound, but knowing things, it'll probably be called a "buzz single."

If this the weirdest thing the radio charts have ever seen, then I don't know what is. Has anything like this happened before? i wish this song did well. Since I'd rather hear this than "We Found Love," I can't disagree with you there.

Now this song has turned on the jets again. It just can't make up its mind...

It had big gains and then a big drop because of some deal with Clear Channel the first week of it's release.
I wish this would flop hard, I'm growing to hate this even more than "Cheers".
