I've got a feeling this song will be her 2nd No.1 from this album When is 'The Voice' going to end? Late June?
I hope so she should just come over here and perform it could end up topping the charts and im not sure when it ends sorry.

Certifications in America are weird i find.
IKR! I think it's because the Billboard charts are based on airplay more than actual sales, so there are singles that never even cracked the top 10, yet they're platinum!
Might be just under 500k it will be gold! I wonder if it will go top 10 shes doing Americas Idol soon aswell hope it goes top 10!
I think she'll only perform 'WHYB' and maybe just a very short segment of 'BC' which is still climbing the US charts (it's stalled at No.2 at the Urban radio chart for 5-6 weeks!!! ). 'TTT' is slipping on the main singles chart, so if it hasn't reached 500k yet, I doubt it will It's just odd, though. It may not have had an impressive peak position, but it's been in the chart since the album's release.

i cant help maybe it should have been released sooner well it was impacting. Rather than TTT WHYB would've been better but still its out now and doing well in most countries.

'WHYB' is shaping up to be quite the smash! It cracked the top 20 in the US and is rising very rapidly on the airplay chart stateside, so I think it will be top 10 in no time, especially given that she's going to perform on the finale of 'American Idol' on the 23rd I hope it's not too late for the album to get a considerable boost

Too bad she won't be performing at the BBMA's. It would be good for her album and for the show as well. Rihanna would spice things up. She's nominated in so many categories, so I thought she would perform despite their article/ "open letter" about the 'BC' remix. Oh well...

She'll give you all of those, guaranteed and probably Talk that Talk, the first part of Birthday Cake (maybe an intro?), Rude Boy, maybe one of Unfaithful, California King Bed or Take A Bow as a slow track?. It depends on how long her set is! Don't Stop the Music is a guarantee too!

I am looking forward to hearing the Rihanna/ Coldplay collaboration. I haven't heard it on the radio yet.

Hopefully. I did finally hear the song this afternoon and quite liked it. Coldplay and Rihanna are an unlikely collaboration but the result is quite intriguing.

Breakin Dishes is SUCH a tune. Tragically ironic though.

she borrowed The pandorica from Doctor Who in the performance...cool points to Riri!

But yes....truly EPIC! I reckon come the next tour she is gonna pull out some showstopping ideas.

Her Idol performance was so good It's sent WHYB up to #4 on US iTunes as well, before the performance I think it was hovering between #11-15.

WHYB #3 on UK iTunes!!

Her Idol performance will be on ITV2 tonight. Not many people watch Idol here in the UK but it might get a small boost. Still, #3 is amazing!

Has she booked any TV performances in the UK or just Radio 1's Hackney Weekend? Some TV promo could really get the song straight to the top of the UK chart.

They've yet to announce the Finale performer for UK Voice, so it could well be Rihanna!

So happy WHYB is rocketing up even more and the Idol performance was stunning choreography wise although not the best vocally. Definitely going to see her next tour now I feel her staging and performance is worthy enough of going to see her for a full show! Amazing.

I'd love a performance on 'The Voice' And she could use one more performance in the US just to ensure the track is going to smash the charts during the summer.

As far as the tour is concerned, I feel like she's ready to step her game up. Her music is always great, but I went to the 'LGOE' tour and let's just say it didn't live up to how great 'Rated R' was I really think she's improved, though. Now she finally has time to rehearse and get some new ideas

US radio is eating 'WHYB' up. It was officially sent to them a few weeks ago and it's already close to the top 10 of most played getting insane spin increases and audience impressions

I love the Hardwell Club remix as well (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND1zSF2hYks)

I'm going too! Should be fantastic.

The Wireless website says that all headliners have a concert-long slot, so I'm presuming 1 hour & a half +?

WHYB climbs to #9 on the Hot 100 this week making it her 22nd Top 10 in the US I hope it manages to make Top 5!

It's starting to drop on UK iTunes but hopefully her performance and interview on Graham Norton next week helps it rise again.

WHYB has done very well so if i was Rihanna i would take a little break and perhaps think about releasing the final single or ending this era with WHYB. I really want the Loud tour dvd and be good if she released a greatest hits in the fall. Shes got enough material and i would love a stand alone dvd with all the videos.

I agree, it's time to release one more song and call time on the era. And most importantly do not begin a new era unless Rihanna is fully charged so she can promote it constantly - I don't mind if this means waiting till the end of 2013/2014.

I am dying for that Loud Tour DVD too! I think we will get it the second half of this year, maybe in time for a Christmas release since (as far as I know) it's unlikely Rihanna is releasing a new album so she will need to keep us happy with something! Loving the idea of all the videos on a DVD too but we might need an extra single for this - be a good feature on the Loud DVD too.
