^Nooooo... the production on Needed Me is sublime. No need to remix...

I do think a radio edit without the naughty lyrics is a good idea though. Just leave the production alone!

Love Work. Swear not a day has gone by that I haven't played it. It really has divided opinions that song, but I'm glad to seen doing really well in the US.

The remixed snippet that I've heard courtesy of someone who is close to her team was just minor changes. The chorus actually went even harder than it does now if you know what I mean. But nothing is certain about whether they'll go with a remix yet. They may delay it's release too if 'Work' isn't going anywhere.

Allegedly the radio/pop version. Not quite sure how it's a 'radio' edit considering the swearing etc is still there but the chorus definitely is harder than the album version.

(careful of the popups when you click play)

Not sure where your link is but it's just an early possible version rather than a final remix, hence the swearing still being there. They are waiting on a decision to be made about the recording of new vocals or just censoring the swearing.

Dual single release confirmed:

Needed Me and Kiss It Better will be sent to radio tomorrow

Confirmed on Rihanna's Twitter

So happy she's releasing Kiss It Better. I suppose we'll hear if there's been any alterations to them for radio tomorrow.

I think they'll leave Needed Me as it is and send it to urban radio with KIB sent to pop. I'm hoping KIB will be huge in the UK as Work has peaked here and we're ready for another single. It seems a bit soon for the US though as Work is still #1 and is expected to stay there for the next few weeks.

Needed Me music video is coming at 5pm UK time today on VEVO. Shame KIB is flopping as Radio 1 and Capital have both snubbed it. I wonder if they'll play Needed Me?

Work has been number 1 in America for 9 weeks good on her! Hopefully with the video release of Needed Me today it fares better than KIB, it's been floating around the top 30 for weeks

Yes only We Found Love has spent longer at #1 in the US for Rihanna (10 weeks). Also she's now spent more weeks at #1 than The Beatles and is second on the all time list behind Mariah Carey. Fantastic achievement. Who'd have thought Work would be such a hit when we first heard it.

Work has been doing VERY well and I'm really shocked to tell you the truth. Its GOOD but not Umbrella or SOS or even Disturbia good. I love Needed Me but releasing that as a single along with Kiss It Better at the SAME time doesn't seem like a good idea. In the US, Needed Me is doing well but Kiss Is Better seems to be stalling.

Kiss It Better:
UK iTunes
#33

UK Spotify
#63 (+15 since yesterday)

This was playlisted on the C list by Radio 1 last week. I'm hoping that they keep it on their playlist at least and ideally move it up so that more people here it but I'm just hoping that the new Calvin track doesn't sabotage that. It's hovered around the #30 mark on iTunes for a couple of weeks now and if it can get into the top 50 on Spotify (it's rising fast in terms of streaming now) then this could still take off. I really hope it does but the next few days are really important.

Someone has put together a deluxe edition of Anti online called Anti: Platinum edition. It's rather good.

The tracklisting is rearranged. It includes Bitch, the song with Paul Mccartney, American oxygen, two songs she did for the Home soundtrack, some remixes, a few songs that never made the album, her new collab with Calvin and a song she has done with Drake on his new album.

ANTI has just become the first album of 2016 to go 2x Platinum (or it has just gone 1x platinum for those who don't wish to count the free giveaway).

Radio 1 have moved Kiss It Better to the B List now which is great news. I know that Capital also played this for the first time yesterday but not sure if it's going to be added to their playlist or not.

UK Spotify
#52 (+11)

So close to the top 50 now.

Rihanna and Drake never disappoint with their collaborations, I'd love them to do a joint album at some point.

Kiss It Better still showing signs of life yet:

UK iTunes
#28

UK Spotify
#51

Still can't quite crack the top 50 on Spotify though it should do in the next few days hopefully. It also looks like entering the top 40 on the official chart this Friday.

I personally love the song! Though I can't really see it doing much in the charts. In fact don't really see any of the songs off Anti impacting on the chart much. Apart from Work

It's a great song and whilst I don't see it smashing I hope it gets top 20 here at least as it deserves that. The UK is the only major market where it's showing any sign of making an impact. Top 50 of Spotify is important as it will then be on the chart playlist and has the potential to rise very quickly (or not if it flops). The US leg of the tour ends soon so she should have time for some much needed promo of the album so it'll be interesting to see if she does do some promo in the US or maybe here (BGT live performance would be ideal).

Considering the album sales are so poor in the UK she really could do with another hit from the album.

Rihanna performed 'Love On The Brain' last night at the BBMAs and absolutely smashed it. She has such control of her vocals and you can see the passion she has for this album. Superb performance and surely one of the best televised live performances she's ever done:

Best Rihanna live performance I've ever heard. This is pretty much the only song I really like on Anti. Most of the rest of it just leaves me cold. I wish she'd do a whole album of songs more like Love On The Brain. That retro classic soul sound really suits her.

She's bombarding us with new music. 'Nothing Is Promised' is dropping tonight. It's a Mike Will Made-It track but was originally intended for ANTI and was the first snippet she teased for R8 as it was then so it'll be interesting to hear this track.

Here's the snippet:
