2nd single Space bound ft Rihanna.

Do you think Spacebound would have blown up like LTWYL if Released as a 2nd Single instead of LTWYL with Rihanna on the chorus. In other words just swap LTWYL with SB in terms of promotion, Rihanna, Megan Fox.

i think it could hav easily. maybe even BIGGER.

I think the issue with Spacebound was the that they took forever with the video, and of course the video was a mindfuck that nobody understood. But they released it like June 2011, a year after Recovery dropped. The hype around Recovery had really died down, they might as well have just abandoned it as a single.

I think it took so long because they had to do the gunshot, which was pretty awesome. I mean, I don't know anything about CG and effects, but I can't imagine that was easy to do.

as big? doubtful, but i believe theres a chance it could have been. rihanna made it big. but likewise, if they were reversed, I dont think ltwyl would have been as big as the fourth single

I think No Love doing so poorly ruined the momentum tbh.

If Rihanna sang the Space Bound hook, and it was the 2nd single, the song would've been bigger obviously, but I don't think it would've been as popular as Love the Way You Lie.
