Otter Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 Poor KIB, barely crossing 100m. Honestly I thought this was one of those songs that underperformed on the charts but was lowkey a smash ala Into you.... I guess not.

Metamorphosis Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 Congrats Rihanna. Looks like it all worked out in the end.

Marianah Adkins Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 Riri ha power, the elusive chanteuse after all

Into You was a hit, KIB far from being one.

Its just a shame they decided to duel release and she couldn't do the Grammy's performance. Edited May 20, 2017 by PhreshDiamond

By ATRL. STS was obviously the smash of the album, I knew so from the moment I heard it, same for Work. KIB would've never done well as a single, it's not catchy enough... At least Into You was one.

KIB didn't reach its full potential though, not even close... It was released when Work was still #1, then Needed Me + TIWYCF completely overshadowed it. It's actually impressive how it managed to go Platinum despite radio paying it dust (it peaked with 19M AI ), plus Rihanna didn't promote it (just like the rest of her singles this era ). In the UK it reached the top 20 on iTunes when radios started playing it... It could've been much bigger imo. Edited May 20, 2017 by istan4badgalriri

Needed Me wasn't even a factor WW until much later. Singles nowadays don't need promotion. I like the song but it just wasn't meant to be....
