I noticed throughout her discography, she didn't create braggadocios songs until Unapologetic. Better late than never. What is "Hard " then? Oop. Oversight. You're right boo.

I swear to you I didn't think a single of hers could get worst than 54S. This sucks! I can't even finish the whole song...forget how tuneless the whole thing is but her voice, wtf! Beyond annoying.
I wouldn't be surprise if Kanye was all over this. He has brainwashed her to be what Bey did with Beyoncé and its just not working. At least for me.

^ Yeah, I hope Kanye West hasn't produced many (or all ) of the other tracks on R8. He will wreck this project creatively for me, if that's the case.

I love this now.. Not like I've adored her biggest hits (OG) or best songs (DOL) but just love it.

I didn't hear the song yet, so i reserve my opinion, but radio doesn't seem interested at all which is quite a surprise.
She said that she wants timeless songs, so we'll see what she have on store for this new era because 45s is not timeless at all, it's a hot mess with some decent parts (her parts) and some awful ones (Kanyes parts, and i still don't understand why he had such aggresive body language on the video)

^ The song isn't very pop radio friendly, so I think it's updates will be small, especially for the first few weeks. +51 spins yesterday was a decent increase on pop, but I was hoping for more than +33 today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Most urban songs only start getting +30 or +50 updates on pop after a couple of months at least, so from that perspective Rihanna is doing great I suppose if she's getting those updates on day 2 and day 3, but that's probably because it's her more than anything!
Trap Queen is heading for top 50 on pop soon, so if Fetty Wap can chart on pop, Rihanna definitely can! It just might take a while.

I don't think anyone can question whether this CHARTS on pop or not, it's more of a case of being a big pop hit or not.
Which makes me think... what is the most recent pop hit produced by Kanye (prior to 45S)?

This song is so trashy and lacks a strong melody/hook. Reminds me of a Lil Kim song. I bet she releases something more pop friendly soon.

That was such a hot performance! Made me love it even more!
I hope this pulls a Hard and pass everyone's expectations on pop!

Best performance of the IheartRadio awards was Rihanna.Wow! She was so into it performing.I wasn't excited for Rihanna's album before but that performance is making me have second thoughts to get excited for it. :)

It's not as pop unfriendly as Pour it up or Birthday cake, but it's not Hard by any means. I predict probably a top 20 before she release a more pop friendly song

I love the guitar solo from the performance. Wish it were in the studio version, too.
I wonder if that performance is an indication of what the music video will be like...
