I know in some discussions at WP:SONGS, it was concluded that radio add dates determined US only singles, even if they do not have single covers or have music videos (i.e. Like a Surgeon, Love in This Club Part II, and Until the End of Time (Justin Timberlake song)), Slow Dance (song). Shouldn't this be as well? Candy o32 - Happy New Year :) 02:42, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm unsure. I mean, this could be the same situation as "Hard". I say we should call it a single, until we have proof otherwise. ℥ nding· start 16:05, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
Agree It is definitely the only way to tell if a song is released in the US. -- Cprice1000 talk2me 17:52, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm confused. Wasn't Wait_Your_Turn a promotional single? And it had cover art and a music video...?-- mikomango ( talk) 18:22, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Raining Men is not a single it is a promotional single.
The third single from Loud is S&M —Preceding

SynthMonster (
talk) 13:26, 27 January 2011 (UTC)This song isn't released as a digital download, Rihanna isn't going to shot a music video for it. This song was just sent to radio to promote the album. No one is going to pay money to download it digitally. This makes this song a promotional single. The main point about a promotional single is that it's not released to earn money on it, it is released just to promote an album. Single is released for both aims. So, it's apparently, that "Raining Men" is a promotional single and poor charting and absence of a music video are not the points to regard it. This song is not for sale, that's all.
Rihanna said her "third" single from her album Loud will Be S&M with an unexpected music video,not her forth Single. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apple48 ( talk • contribs) 01:35, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
It is not a single. A US radio release date is the same as an iTunes digital release date AND club release date yet both "Wait Your Turn" and "Breakin' Dishes" (both of which actually charted) are only included as Promotional Singles. Like what someone said above, there must be justice. If THIS single counts, so do those other two. Afterall, there are promo copies of both aforementioned songs sent out JUST like this song. ust because it was released in the US, does not make a difference. Cazxiro ( talk) 00:23, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Also, for the record, a RADIO single counts as much as a CLUB single and, especially, a DIGITAL single. Cazxiro ( talk) 18:25, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Urban singles don't require a separate digital release. You still seem incapable of understanding that all singles are in promotion of the album. There has to be something specific which makes a song a promotional single. "Wait Your Turn" was initially the lead single from Rated R before being used to promote her new website and statements were released that it was only a promo single. "Breaking Dishes" was played by clubs that has nothing to with the label or being sent or not as a single. Any song (literally any song) could chart on Hot Dance/Club Songs because its purely down to DJ choice. Who says that single covers, music videos and digital releases are essential elements of being a single. You are WP:ORing here... cus you're speaking of the digital age etc. well in the digital age songs chart from an album without even being released. Urban singles often have less importance placed upon digital releases as airplay counts for more. Rihanna might have said "S&M" is her third single much like Gaga said The Fame Monster is her second studio album. However per the reality of studio standards, The Fame Monster is an EP in technicality much like "Raining Men" is a single as it was sent for radio airplay which is a single indicator in the US (the music market where airplay has the heaviest importance compared to other markets). Singles are decided not by who says what but by what actually gets released. Another example would be Fresh Out the Oven by Jlo which is always referred to as a single and Lopez herself even said it was one of two required releases before her contract with Sony Music expired. "Fresh Out The Oven" even had a video and single cover yet its not an official single because it wasn't released to radio or to digital download. its an industry given/standard. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 05:12, 23 January 2011 (UTC) Also think of it this way... since when have you ever seen the music video for a song before its sent to radio? songs are always sent to radio first (or in some cases iTunes) and if its doing ok then a video is filmed. But notice its never the other way round? -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 05:23, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
AND WHERE IS THE SOURCE THAT RAINING MEN IS AN OFFICIAL SINGLE FROM RIHANNAS ALBUM, OMG ITS NOT A SINGLE IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND, IF WE ASK RIHANNA AND HER PRODUCTION TEAM ABOUT THIS IM 100% SURE THAT THEY SAY THAT S&M IS THE THIRD SINGLE!!!YOU REALLY THINK LOUDS THIRD SINGLE HAS NO MUSIC VIDEO NO ARTWORK, HAS ONLY BEEN RELEASED TO URBAN RADIO, R HASNT EVEN MENTIONED THIS SONG, AND NOT EVEN PROMOTED THE SONGS LIVE, TELEVISION!! YOU REALLY THINK A HOT SINGER WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS HER THIRD SINGLE, PELEASE GIVE A FU##ING SOURCE PEOPLE, GET A LIFE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.154.98.39 ( talk) 15:20, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
so why is xtinas song Express listed as a promo, it has been released digitally and to radios, and charted in various countries (inc UK,US,AUS) and its not listed as an single, Raining men only release to urban radio, is listed right away as a oficcial single!!?? whats the difference? why is express listed as a promo -- 91.154.98.39 ( talk) 15:39, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree 100%, you wikipedians have these stupid rules and things...you people just go and see every little detail and not look at the hole picture, its not a single..just because it was released to a radio station doesnt mean its a single, you people have no friends or a life, just sitting on you fu#king computer and just messes whit the pages, maybe your rules sy its a single, BUT IF THE ARRTIST HASNT ANNONCED THAT ITS A SINGLE THEN ITS NOT, YOU CANT JUST PUT IT AS A SINGLE BECOUSE IT WAS RELEASED TO URBAN RADIO, OMG FU#KIN PEOPLE DONT GET DONT YOU, IF WE ASK RIHANNA WE ALL ARE PRETTY SURE SHE SAYS ITS NOT A SINGLE, she hasnt said this is a single, how can you then put it as a single, a single is a song that has been promoted has a music video, art...raining men has none of those things it hasnt even been released to billboard hot 100...ITS A SINGLE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.154.97.58 ( talk) 15:22, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Okay, can you just cut the crap and the analogies.. Raining Men is NOT an official single.. There. This page should be deleted... -- Aquabender ( talk) 22:14, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Today I did a small research and found this: Roman's Revenge by Nicki Minaj is labeled as promotional single, despite the song was sent to urban radio February 8, 2011 Knockout by Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj is labeled only as "song" despite the article says: Format Digital Download, Airplay I'm back by T.I. is labeled as promotional single despite the article says: Format Digital download, Airplay Under My Skin says: "He Wasn't" was the fourth single from the album written and produced by her and Chantal Kreviazuk. It was not released in the United States, instead "Fall to Pieces" was released, but was only a radio single....I didn't find Fall to Pieces article and it is not included on Avril Lavigne discography page Touchdown by T.I. ft. Eminem article says: The song was only released as an airplay single in 2007, and not as an official single. The song is labeled as "song"...it is not included on T.I. discography page among other singles Labels or Love by Fergie article says: The song was officially released on USA and Australian radios on June 3, 2008 as the latest single from The Dutchess. However on Fergie discography page, the song is listed only as a promotional single Finally article says: Released February 26, 2008 (Radio)...however the song is labeled as promotional single and on Fergie discograpy page, it is listed among promotional singles. Shone by Flo Rida article says: Length 4:24 (Album Version) 3:25 (Radio Mix)...so this means the song got special cut for radio. Howevwe the song is only listed on Flo Rida discography page as a promotional single. I Don't Need It by Jamie Foxx says: The song was released as a radio-only single in May 2009. However the song is labeled as "song" and on Jamie Foxx discography page, the song is listed among "Other Charted songs" You Ain't Got Nuthin by Lil Wayne says: Although not released as an official single, the song was released as a promotional recording to radio stations and peaked at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is labeled as "song" and listed among "other charted songs" Reverse Cowgirl article says: Released February 2, 2010 (Radio). However it is labeled as promotional single. So there are many examples that the song which was only sent to radio is not the single. I think that Raining Men should be considered as the promo single and it should be delete off the singles discography and merge to other charted songs or promotional singles ...Sorry for my english —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.31.45.42 ( talk) 09:31, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
In how far does this article fulfill Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Albums.2C_singles_and_songs? The whole "Reception" part is made of critics of the album "Loud" and not only the song. -- Christian140 ( talk) 13:59, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
This song is not an official single nor is it a promotional single. Where is the source saying it was a FOR SURE single? Just because it charted does not make it a single. If this artice remains to exist, just make it a Song page instead of Single page. -- Sdoo493 ( talk) 22:57, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Just because it was added by radios has nothing to do whether it was a single or not... ;; - -- Aquabender ( talk) 20:17, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: not moved. Andrewa ( talk) 18:32, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
Raining Men (song) → Raining Men – Neither of the other two things are called Raining Men. Unreal7 ( talk) 13:21, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 00:29, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
Raining Men (song) → Raining Men (Rihanna song) – In the last move it was suggested that some people might think the other song is also called "Raining Men", so this will be more of a help than the current title. Unreal7 ( talk) 21:05, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: move the page to Raining Men (Rihanna song), per the discussion below. The plain title is not a redirect to this page, indicating that many editors believe this song is not the primary topic for the phrase. The preponderance of the input here expressed acceptance for this title, and hopefully the move will end the list of requests. Dekimasu よ! 02:11, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
Raining Men (song) → ? – OK, I know this doesn't seem like it's helping anyone, me making a third move request in the space of a month, but the current title is not appropriate. One of the following two things needs to happen:
1. If you DON'T think there is potential confusion with
It's Raining Men, then (as there are no other articles is nothing else specifically called "Raining Men") move the page to
Raining Men.
or
2. If you DO think there is potential confusion with It's Raining Men, then (given that that's a song too) move the page to Raining Men (Rihanna song). --Relisted. Dekimasu よ! 03:40, 30 October 2014 (UTC) Unreal7 ( talk) 22:36, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Is there not an image for the cover of this, like all her other (official) singles have? Best, -- Discographer ( talk) 12:45, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: not moved. Andrewa ( talk) 18:32, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
Raining Men (song) → Raining Men – Neither of the other two things are called Raining Men. Unreal7 ( talk) 13:21, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 00:29, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
Raining Men (song) → Raining Men (Rihanna song) – In the last move it was suggested that some people might think the other song is also called "Raining Men", so this will be more of a help than the current title. Unreal7 ( talk) 21:05, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: move the page to Raining Men (Rihanna song), per the discussion below. The plain title is not a redirect to this page, indicating that many editors believe this song is not the primary topic for the phrase. The preponderance of the input here expressed acceptance for this title, and hopefully the move will end the list of requests. Dekimasu よ! 02:11, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
Raining Men (song) → ? – OK, I know this doesn't seem like it's helping anyone, me making a third move request in the space of a month, but the current title is not appropriate. One of the following two things needs to happen:
1. If you DON'T think there is potential confusion with
It's Raining Men, then (as there are no other articles is nothing else specifically called "Raining Men") move the page to
Raining Men.
or
2. If you DO think there is potential confusion with It's Raining Men, then (given that that's a song too) move the page to Raining Men (Rihanna song). --Relisted. Dekimasu よ! 03:40, 30 October 2014 (UTC) Unreal7 ( talk) 22:36, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

IMHO, a "tally" is not especially helpful. This is a matter of determining consensus based on relevant policies and guidelines – not a matter of mere popularity. — BarrelProof ( talk) 13:08, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
