With Rihanna’s “Work (featuring Drake)” still dominating the airplay charts, urban and rhythmic radio programmers have not yet begun aggressively spinning either of the two follow-ups.<\/p>\n

One did, however, receive enough early airplay to secure a Top 70 position at urban radio.<\/p>\n

Spun 168 times during the March 27-April 2 tracking week, Rihanna’s “Needed Me” ranks as the Mediabase urban panel’s #68 song.<\/p>\n

“Needed Me” is emerging as the clear follow-up to “Work” at the urban format. Fellow “ANTI” single “Kiss It Better,” meanwhile, is filling that role at pop — it officially ranks as the pop format’s #61 song this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

— Neither song is yet making major waves at rhythmic radio, but “Needed Me” presently has a slight advantage. It received 41 tracking week spins, while “Kiss It Better” received 27. Neither count was enough for a Top 100 ranking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[5162,5765,5761,129],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRihanna's "Needed Me" Earns #68 at Urban Radio; Slightly Leads "Kiss It Better" At Rhythmic<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"With Rihanna's "Work (featuring Drake)" still dominating the airplay charts, urban and rhythmic radio programmers have not yet begun aggressively spinning\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/04\/03\/rihannas-needed-earns-68-urban-radio-slightly-leads-kiss-better-rhythmic\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Rihanna's "Needed Me" Earns #68 at Urban Radio; Slightly Leads "Kiss It Better" At Rhythmic\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"With Rihanna's "Work (featuring Drake)" still dominating the airplay charts, urban and rhythmic radio programmers have not yet begun aggressively spinning\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/04\/03\/rihannas-needed-earns-68-urban-radio-slightly-leads-kiss-better-rhythmic\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-04-04T03:16:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Rihanna-Needed-Me.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1004\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/04\/03\/rihannas-needed-earns-68-urban-radio-slightly-leads-kiss-better-rhythmic\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/04\/03\/rihannas-needed-earns-68-urban-radio-slightly-leads-kiss-better-rhythmic\/\",\"name\":\"Rihanna's \\\"Needed Me\\\" Earns #68 at Urban Radio; Slightly Leads \\\"Kiss It Better\\\" At Rhythmic\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-04-04T03:16:24+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-04-04T03:16:24+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"With Rihanna's \\\"Work (featuring Drake)\\\" still dominating the airplay charts, urban and rhythmic radio programmers have not yet begun aggressively spinning\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/04\/03\/rihannas-needed-earns-68-urban-radio-slightly-leads-kiss-better-rhythmic\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
