Forever Winter Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago "Hard" peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, but only has 55m streams on Spotify. For comparison, other Rated R singles have more streams: Russian Roulette - 176m Rude Boy - 634m Te Amo - 202m Why is this song practically forgotten amongst her other Top 10 hits? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mons†er Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Because the GP isn't here for 'Rated R'. It's a classic among fans and critics. That album in general is overlooked and not appreciated enough. Also each of the other RR singles were bigger compared to 'Hard'. 'Rude Boy' also overshadowed any and all success that 'Hard' achieved especially in the urban markets. Edited 2 hours ago by mons†er 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patchwerk Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Unlike the other singles it wasn't released internationally. Rated R in general is paid dust by the gp, it deserves a resurgence. Edited 2 hours ago by patchwerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toy soldier. Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago It wasn't an official single in Europe (and probably the rest of the world other than the US), so no streams from those countries. The song is so good though, actually the whole album is. Might be my favourite Rih's work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimSim Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago It wasn't enough trendy/catchy for the standards back then. To think that with a slightly updated base, it would probably easily smash thanks to TT if released today ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istan4badgalriri Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago It was only serviced to US radio so a local hit, and it got overshadowed by all of the bigger hits she got in 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodGuyGoneGhetto Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 1 hour ago, AndThenTheCocaine said: I came here for Russian Roulette... ooh this really is forgotten RR isn't that forgotten. Anyway, "Hard" is Rihanna's "Begin Again". Both were the second singles from their 4th albums and had subpar chart performances and were later overshadowed by how huge the third singles were - "Rude Boy" and "IKYWT".
