Rihanna - S&M

[$uperb@tDuDe]

I never liked the remix, I'm grateful that it propelled the song to #1 but it just felt cheaply done

Well...

So, last night the remix came on in the club, and of course my drunk self loved it, and it sounded really good. But then later when I brought it up to my friends they were like "uhh no, that was the original. It was just Rihanna". I guess they couldn't notice the subtle differences. But it was definitely the remix, I could tell from the first "na na na na come on"

Can't believe RihMix is down to 49! Yep, the stations here switched to original this week. Weird.

[poproyalty]

Mariah Carey will keep that record.

She had songs staying at #1 for 16 weeks.

Not surprised the remix dropped like a rock. It was pretty terrible and it's only job was to give the song enough interest for a week at #1.

Yup (besides the remix being terrible; it was flawless ). Probably only did what it did because of Britney's fan base. No one else seemed to care.

[jink]

The remix was deeply flawed, lol. It made the song sound awkward and unfinished.

[Deleted]

The remix is good in spots. I do think Britney added some spice to it but the chorus really was what stood out as awkward. They should have just used the combined chorus with both their vocals on instead of have her do it solo.

The growl at the end is sexy though.

yep...basically Britney could have stepped up her vocal game instead of singing before blowing her congested nose.

But it served its purpose for both artists. Cheers (drink to that)...

I couldn't agree more with this statement. I always though Britney sounded really nasally in the remix.

Has anyone done this list with just the songs that only had the lone main artist.

[jink]

No, but I believe Mariah would be #2 on that list.

[chartfreak]

And Boyz II Men would be way down. Wonder if I can find my Billboard books to make the list. lol

I'd love to see Rihanna have some longevity and gain some more ground in the music industry. Sure she's still young, but at this rate, I'd love for her to survive and hold it down for some more years.
