Rihanna should be ashamed for releasing this type of trash. It is horrendous.

BBHMM expected to rise to #16 in the UK this Sunday and FFS to drop a spot to #5. If the llatter remains in the Top5, it will be its TENTH consecutive week in the Top5 in the UK.

I'd be surprised to not see this get the top spot of urban at some point and thus should get some love in pop too like it's getting! I'm personally really happy she is going in this direction with this album as she seems to be putting more feeling into these songs, but that's just me. Can't wait for the album this November!

The albums not coming out til November?!? Speculation as to the date, but this is not the lead-in. The rollout strategy of this album is less traditional. So far its been effective in creating two very buzz-worthy tracks as opposed to a standard radio blockbuster. I know this is Pulse, and we measure everything by spins, but don't underestimate the power of building this kind of continued hype when an album release dawns. Urban artists have been utilizing this strategy for awhile to big debuts.

Do y'all feel that Rih looked at the impact and arrival of "BEYONCE" and wants to do something as unconventional or do you think she and her team always planned after a break to kind of do something spontaneous when compared with her usual rollout

No offense, but you're probably not supposed to like it anyway. This kind of is trash though, and I love most of her urban stuff so this should be for me.

Or she can pull a J.Cole. If she drops it out of nowhere, I can see a nice opening. Maybe not 660k, but something in the 300-400k range.

Do y'all feel that Rih looked at the impact and arrival of "BEYONCE" and wants to do something as unconventional or do you think she and her team always planned after a break to kind of do something spontaneous when compared with her usual rollout That would be a big big mistake on her part. Rihanna took a good bunch of risk in her career, and nobody recovered from flop songs like her, but unlike Beyonce, her album sales are not that great in comparision with the power of her singles. We are on a point that Beyonce is idolized, some of us think her last material is far from great, but we are a minority. One thing is for sure Beyonce can survive without pop radio, i'm not that sure Rihanna can do that. There are urban sounds that works perfectly on pop but that's not the case of most Beyonce's recent hits or Rihanna's ones like Pour it up or Birthday cake (there are so many wrongs in that song that should be studied on Universities). The fact that Rihanna experimented with that sound in the past, and none of that songs are in her biggest hits list makes me doubt she will do a full change to that kind of sounds. 45S was divisive but in the end it was a big hit, even when it's far from being one of her best songs. Of course she could try a surprise release or a more experimental album, because in the end even if it fails she is such a star that could recover without a problem. The only thing in case this kind of release fails is releasing a smash hit as first release of her next album and everything it would be ok. Beyonce was a pioneer in this kind of release, and it worked for other artist, but being able to pull a Beyonce doesn't mean that it would be a good idea to do it

If this is not oing on Spotify, or if they're taking a month to upload there like FFS, then she needs a killer video, released at the right time, to maximise its shots of attaining a higher peak on the Hot100. This is amazing: Rihanna throwing the pillow at him, "I want my money, Jimmy", "Thanks for not killing us" LMFAO
