She will be lucky to get 2 more. LOL. Having 4 hits out of an album of 11 songs would be way more than just "being lucky".

I hate you guys! haha Anyways, Cheers is an anthem and Fading could be a multi-format airplay monster. Still on the fence about CKB being a single but I feel the same way I did about Rockstar 101. Either that song could SMASH or totally destroy the momentum she's gained with these singles. So pretty much, if S&M becomes the MONSTER I think it will be, most of 2011 will encompass Robyn Rihanna Fenty thumping your eardrums on the radio.

Calm down, I'm not "SHADING UR FAV!11" just because I'm trying to have an actual discussion about her and not just scream about how she's smashing non-stop.

Should never be a single. This should be a hit for her.

most of 2011 will encompass Robyn Rihanna Fenty thumping your eardrums on the radio. That would've been fine and dandy had she continued to evolve in the direction that Rated R was in. Since that didn't happen, I'm glad Kelly Clarkson, Lady GaGa, and Britney Spears will release their albums soon. :)

I think they are going release at least 2 more singles before a re-release if it does in fact happen. 2 more after this? no. i dont think so at least. u ll notice when theres a re-release project typically 4 or less singles are issiued. so id say this and one more song, then re-release. my preference would be cheers.

She needs to release Complicated or CKB after this.

I'm anxious to see what her/her label releases as the 'slow-it-down' ballad single. I, personally, think 'Fading' is the best choice because it appeals to other formats. However, 'California King Bed' is right up there as well... even though I can't picture it being a multi-format smash. 'Complicated' doesn't strike me as being single-worthy, although it is a good song.

i dont think all eras will have ballad singles anymore. just look at kesha, 5 singles in a row no ballad. ushers chr era has been 3 fast songs. taio cruz 4 in a row. jay sean 3 in a row. i dont think we will be seeing ballads again (for the most part) in till 2012, where i think the popular type of music will be changing again, and not so dance heavy

+16 Spins +16 Bullet +0.204AI +7 Positions
I hope this has small updates for a while, so OG can move down the chart first, then start picking up once WMN is in the top 5.

don't like it. the verses lack virtually everything, the instrumentation is pretty weak and the hook isn't catchy enough. stargate should've put rihanna on the "black and yellow" instrumental instead of wiz.

Mmm, I'm not liking this song right now. I have yet to hear the whole album, but by the few songs I've heard, the first two singles are the strongest songs in Loud.

If anything, it's more diverse than Rated R.

Considering it's already picking up interest despite everything else she has going on out there...I think it's safe to say when this becomes the primary single it should have a great run.

So you didn't follow her during her last era, I'm assuming. actually, even with less commercial songs she didn't get lost in the shuffle, they were waiting for her to release something commercial so they could play it. heck, even russian roulette got decent play.

I agree, I certainty wouldn't say any of the single's performances from Rated R had to do with them "getting lost in the shuffle". There was wide-spread knowledge and reaction to every one of Rihanna's releases except maybe Rockstar.
Russian Roulette was initially met with very high airplay, it wasn't until the public's reaction to the song was firmly established 2-3 weeks later that it stalled.

Not really. Rihanna's consistently been releasing music since 2005. Some people truely under-credit the staple she is to the hot 100, she's stacked up more hits than anybody in that time-frame. She hasn't been doing what she's doing because "only katy perry's her competition" and she's not gonna be hindered by the others, just as none of them by her.
