True, but let's be honest here.

They have been building buzz for the single even before the album was released!! First, Rihanna tweeted some lyrics, then she said the full song is in the schedule for 2012, then the producers talked about a shocking collaboration and now everyone's talking about it. And aside from the hype machine, I don't think there are many album tracks that get official remixes with surprising guests.

Even if it's been done before ( I don't recall any examples), Rihanna has never done it. I think 'BC' is going to be a single...
