Danionek thank you for working on the Release history section. However, how can a song impact a radio, a day before it actually premieres? The song premiered on September 26 on the Elvis Duran show (first listen ever worldwide), so stating that the release date was September 25 is simply untrue. Let me remind you, that sometimes even reliable sources might not be correct! — Tom(T2ME) 16:12, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Tomica: Hi! Thank you for your compliment and your notice! I don't know if you paid attention, but in general I have been editing articles about songs recently, because I was interested in the radio releases from FMQB. I admit when I got to Diamonds and noticed that the song was sent to the radio, according to this magazine, the day before its alleged premiere on Elvis Duran And The Morning Show (according to NME), I was not sure what to do with it, although I put it in the article anyway to provoke this discussion (I didn't expect such a quick reaction, which is nice :D). The whole nature of this song's release strange to me… It was released on September 25/26/27/28 (?), 2012 and has already appeared on the Irish charts on September 27? Due to this, I concluded that maybe I just discovered an earlier release date, but I am also absolutely aware that even reliable sources may not be correct at times, which is why there is this conflict here. As this NME article is dated September 23, theoretically there is always a possibility that the song premiered earlier anyway, as FMQB mentions. If the song actually premiered on September 26, for the first time worldwide, then I can of course agree that the FMQB wrote something wrong and the actual date of the radio impact in the United States is October 2.

@Danionek: I vividly remember those times since I was a huge Rihanna fan and I can confirm it indeed debuted on the 26th on the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show. :D Even before that, in her iHeart Radio interview, she confirmed that the song would premiere on the 26th. So to me, it really doesn't make sense how FMQB is claiming that the song was serviced on radio stations in the US on the 25th. (except if maybe was released on the date at 11:50 pm lol) I think maybe we should investigate this a little bit more and see how we approach the whole release date issue since it definitely doesn't make sense at this point. — Tom(T2ME) 19:35, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Tomica: Hey! I've talked with Danionek in private, and we came to conclusion to remove September 25 "release date" as you suggested. Additionally, I added a source for a radio airplay impact date one day later in the US that Danionek found. infsai (talkie? UwU) 00:28, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
