#6. Princess of China (Mylo Xyloto) (Feature #1)  Ok so can we just start out and talk about this video? Such a terribly cheesy mess, and the special effects are so cheap. Lmao. But how beautiful does Rihanna look? lbr. She looks so damn flawless, especially in that outfit with the long red things hanging off her sleeves. You probably don't remember since I change my avatar every two seconds, but I had a gif of her flinging her arms around with the red stuff for a little bit, at least. I think that one actually stayed for a while. I absolutely love this album, and this is definitely a highlight off of it. When I first heard Coldplay was having a Rihanna feature, I was not a happy boy. I was very meh on Rihanna at the time, and completely thought of Coldplay as selling out. However, Rihanna fits in so perfectly on the song. She and Chris sound amazing together, and I don't think I would want anyone in her place. It's just that good. Flawless song, and great video, even if it's a bit on the cheap side.  Top 5 stats:3 singles 2 album tracks 1 Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded song 2 Rated R songs 1 Talk That Talk song 1 Unapologetic song Any guesses? (Probably not since everyone is ignoring my thread. ;_;)

POC!  I wasn't a fan of it at first but it grew ob me big time. Sorry Codex I kinda disagree, "Raining Men" is my least favorite track on "Loud". I enjoy it occasionally but no more than that, Nicki's part is not that good for one. I honestly don't know what to predict for your Top5 Josh especially since you have album tracks involved and the fact "Umbrella" & "Don't Stop The Music" already appeared Oh and WHYB should've been Top10 SMH  |

The "Unapologetic" song is obviously "Diamonds" :kii: joking, it's like "Jump" or sth. The TTT song is "We Found Love" One of the "Rated R" songs is "Rude Boy" |

Lmao considering "Diamonds" hasn't even charted on my weekly chart.  One that you got right (there may be more than one right but not comfirming) was going to be tomorrow but I think will be #4 now. I dunno it's so hard. :'( |

I have to admit I need to do a recap on your list. Great choices, so far, although "Only Girl (In the World)", "Unfaithful" and "Umbrella" could have done better. Guesses: 1 Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded song: You include Reloaded so I guess it's from re-release. The only left is "If I Never See Your Face Again". However, it could be as well from the standard version, so it could be "Breakin' Dishes". I think it would be the latter. 2 Rated R songs: Ugh! This is difficult! "Russian Rulette" and "Rude Boy", I guess ??? 1 Talk That Talk song: The only possibilty left is "We Found Love". It has to be atop! (If it isn't, >:() 1 Unapologetic song: Ugh! Another tough one. "Jump"? "Diamonds"? "Stay"? Expecting to see the former! Regarding your "Where Have You Been" commentary: Calvin Harris did great on the production. Actually, it was a co-production Dr. Luke, Cirkut and him produced the song. Also, you could listen to Calvin's characteristic sound (like a sirens' sound) before the first beat drop, which you wouldn't hear before the second beat drop. |

I have to admit I need to do a recap on your list. Great choices, so far, although "Only Girl (In the World)", "Unfaithful" and "Umbrella" could have done better. Please do! And I know, the top 20 or so are pretty great. It's been hard. :( Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded song: You include Reloaded so I guess it's from re-release. The only left is "If I Never See Your Face Again". However, it could be as well from the standard version, so it could be "Breakin' Dishes". I think it would be the latter. I've been referring to the album the whole time as the re-release. The remaining song isn't necessarily from the re-release. :) 2 Rated R songs: Ugh! This is difficult! "Russian Rulette" and "Rude Boy", I guess ???. At least one is correct. :) 1 Talk That Talk song: The only possibilty left is "We Found Love". It has to be atop! (If it isn't, >:() Gotta wait to find out.  1 Unapologetic song: Ugh! Another tough one. "Jump"? "Diamonds"? "Stay"? Expecting to see the former! It's definitely one of those 3! Regarding your "Where Have You Been" commentary: Calvin Harris did great on the production. Actually, it was a co-production Dr. Luke, Cirkut and him produced the song. Also, you could listen to Calvin's characteristic sound (like a sirens' sound) before the first beat drop, which you wouldn't hear before the second beat drop. Ah yes, I remember reading that before. Still pretty similar to "We Found Love," though. :) You can always start charting the song this week Think very carefully I'll pass. And I will. I think I have them ordered. The one I'm planning on doing #5 now is going to get a terrible response, I'm calling it now. |

Recap: (I don't want to be so extended, so I'm going to do using an emoticon or at least a phrase). 40. "We Ride": Don't like it. 39. "Hard": Great. 38. "Fire Bomb": Good. 37. "What's My Name": Amazing! 36. "S&M": Britney's remix is better. 35. "Push Up Me":  34. "Break It Off": So, so. 33. "Hate That I Love You": Great! 32. "Fly": Good. 31. "California King Bed": Acceptable. 30. "Phresh Out the Runway": Good. 29. "Numb": Great. 28. "Pour It Up": Great! 27. "What Now": Quite great! 26. "Red Lipstick": 25. "Disturbia": Flawless! 24. "Nobody's Business": Good. 23. "Good Girl Gone Bad": Quite great. 22. "Love Without Tragedy / Mother Mary": Good. 21. "Take a Bow": Great. 20. "Only Girl (In the World)": Great beat. 19. "Unfaithful": Amazing + Perfect. 18. "Wait Your Turn": Perfect. 17. "Te Amo": So, so. 16. "G4L": Great production! 15. "Raining Men": Next! 14. "Talk That Talk": Deserve better. 13. "Where Have You Been": Infectious Calvin Harris beat. 12. "Man Down": Good. 11. "Pon de Replay": Great beat. 10. "Umbrella": Amazing! 09. "Don't Stop the Music": Brilliant + club perfection. 08. "Birthday Cake": Guilty pleasure. 07. "SOS": Brilliant! 06. "Princess of China": Amazing. I've been referring to the album the whole time as the re-release. The remaining song isn't necessarily from the re-release. :) So "If I Never See Your Face Again".. I guess for "Breakin' Dishes". At least one is correct. :) Bye "Russian Rulette". My vote goes for "Rude Boy" and "Mad House". Gotta wait to find out. I forgot "Cockiness"! And there's only one song left from Talk That Talk. :'( However, "We Found Love" > "Cockiness", so I guess from the former. It's definitely one of those 3! My vote goes for "Jump". Ah yes, I remember reading that before. Still pretty similar to "We Found Love," though. :) I don't know, but I think I wrote it before, so it could be me

Kinda similar to you, "Princess of China" was not a favorite of mine on Mylo Xyloto when I first played the album. Actually, what made the song click for me was when I got the Invisible Men remix on a Various Artists CD. I've liked it a lot more ever since thanks to that. |

#5. Rockstar 101 (feat. Slash) (Rated R) (Single #3)  Bring on the complaining and booing and "omg this should be #1 on her worst songs list" etc. One of Rihanna's biggest flops, but that doesn't stop me from loving it. It's basically a perfect representation of what I love about the album. It's perfection. No one guessed this would show up. Oh wait Sean did! Sean knows me best. *cue the complaining*

I don't like it either. Oh and lmao @ you guys thinking WFL will even chart. It's probably #59 or whatever the lowest position is. Rude Boy, Jump, Breaking Dishes? |
