She needs to release one more single and move on. This isn't the GGGB era and I wouldn't risk another "flop" this era. If she wants to take another risk, I'd go with "Rockstar 101". There's nothing like that on radio right now. If she wants to be safe then she needs to release "Fire Bomb". It screams late spring/summer anthem and then she can release ANOTHER album this fall with a new sound and image. actually no new album till probably 2011 shes doing a worldwide tour and looking for acting roles..soo... and what flop are u talking abuout? because hard was a mediocre hit as for russian roulette it did very well everywhere except US Isn't she supposed to be releasing a new album in the summer or was this a rumor?

Probably a rumor. Rated R doesn't need a re-release and another album doesn't make sense.
This era isn't done yet, so talks of another album is premature. "Rude Boy" is still climbing, so talks of a next singles are too soon as well.
The best bet for the next single(s) is one that can go to Pop, Rhythmic, and Urban. "Fire Bomb" can't do that! "Rockstar 101" and "Cold Case Love" can. :)

No bad. GGGB only sold 2.5mm in the U.S. right?

Yeah something like that. I'd love for this to pass 1Mill. Pop acts are really finding it hard to get past Platinum now.

If they release both FB and PG, I can actually see it get close to 1.5mill... it will probably end up selling 1.2-1.3mill... and could get to 1.5mill down the road

Why is this thread such a flop? I guess everyone has moved to the new alberm thread.

Her PR company has said that there is no confirmed single after Rube Boy, that it could be the last from this album...
SO MAD. SO SO MAD. If this is the case, if this album is dismissed, all the respect I earnt for Riri will be gone. She hasn't done any promo or talked much about it since Hard. This album has been selling to consistently now, for them to dismiss it. And if Riri has moved on with her life, atleast get them to release a fourth single and try and get this to hit Platinum. RR was BIG outside of the US, Hard was a hit in the US, Rude Boy is on its way to becoming one of her biggets hits globally... so WTH!? Release Te Amo if you want, it's uptempo. Go with Photographs... BEP have shown this kind of song can do well...
And if Riri has moved on... well girl you put this album out there. Hell you even co-wrote on most of it! Stand by this direction, this statement.
If we see a new album out by the end of the year, then it only goes to show that Riri is truly a singles artist who got lucky with GGGB. Sorry, but this album has potencial hits left on it! It could even have a small tour rocking for it. More promo, and hell give it a re-release! GGGB didn't really blow up until the re-release. Put on a couple of awesome anthems and you're set!
SO ANNOYED!
