Speaking of 'Rude Boy', that song is Greatest Gainer at Urban right now. I honestly don't even see its Urban appeal.
'Hard' was far more Urban than this and it never was this smash during its (short) run at the format.
I understand that they're playing it because they always play Rihanna to an extent, but to be Greatest Gainer and almost top 10 this fast it's surprising to me...
It's lame cos it's not an R&B song, it's Dance. But I guess even radio doesn't know the difference anymore. 
Exactly. 'Rude Boy' and 'Imma Be' stick out like sore thumbs on the Urban chart right now

And R&B songs like 'TSWABH', 'Sex Threapy' and 'I Am' took forever to go top 5 (I know Alicia and Mary's followed flops, but still) and are from establihed Urban acts.
