Honestly, even if she did have more "competition" with this album I could still see her being hugely successful. I don't believe her success can be contributed simply to good timing; she usually releases really strong material. Ditto. She, somehow, always gets an incredibly strong variety of singles that appeal to many different types of people and supports it with some good performances and videos. She has the "pop star" role down perfectly and I think she would be successful even if she did have tons of competition. ^yeah, rihanna has crossed over a lot of genres with her music; reggae, pop, rnb and some rock and the mixture of sounds is what i liked about GGGB

I fully expect this album/era to be a defining moment in her career.

She never really has any hype or buildup when her new singles come out, huh? As in, there's never some huge label campaign to build up interest...they just kind of throw it out there one day. And it always ends up being huge haha. Yeah, it's odd that Def Jam seems to just be throwing this out there without giving us a name of the single or album. I'm not sure they need to though since she's got of hype and anticipation, even without all the campaigns. I doubt she'll even need to promote this new project as much as she did "Good Girl Gone Bad" because of how big in the media she's become in the last year.

With "Umbrella," the title of the song had so much buzz that they didn't really have to do anything. I remember a picture with her, Tricky, and Dream leaked and info about the song. And everyone thought it was bizarre that she let Nivea's husband produce ANYTHING on her album. LOL. But even with that song, there was still atleast an exact date that it premiered on her official site. It was some day in March. So I find it hard to believe that it will leak Tuesday. There will probably be a full on press release and everything this time.

I can't see why people are asking 'where is the buzz'.
IMO people are very VERY much awaiting her next single. This is one of the most eagerly awaited releases of the year. GGGB has allowed the label and Rihanna to sit back and just let everyone go nuts for this without them having to hype it up all that much. Infact the more secrecy surrounding a project, the more that it puts off a very exclusive, looming like vibe around the single/album.
I feel that there is a lot of people awaiting this project, both online and offline. They don't need to hype her up like they use to. GGGB made her a global superstar! It was the highest selling album that was released out of 07. They released the right singles, with some amazing videos, she toured, promoted and really REALLY earned it. She isn't needing the buzz like last time. On her first two albums she would release singles and then the album would die off soon after. Now after GGGB she can wait and make others go wild for her without having to go to extrodinary efforts to get the love.

That sounds hot already just based on the title, of course. I'm excited. She's disappointed me a bit last era (she wound up not releasing some of my favorites/released 'Rehab' so late), but I hope I really love the singles this time.

Fascinating how we unanimously believe the [massive] success of RiRi's forthcoming era is imminent. Good does come out of bad, after all... With that said, "The Wait is Ova"? You better work, contessa.

And it always ends up being huge haha. Are you sure about that? Rihanna and Mariah are probably the most female artists promoted on Island.

We never get an "IN TWO WEEKS, RIHANNA'S NEW SINGLE WILL BE OUT AND YOUR LIFE WILL BE COMPLETE" announcement. It just randomly leaks whenever, and then the promo kicks in.

I'm guessing the album as well. I hope it is anyways.
If that's the case then we should be getting the single within the next week or so.

I'm excited and nervous for new RiRi. The bar is so incredibly high for me after GGGB, I just don't want to be disappointed. I'm not even gonna expect another song on the caliber of the likes of Umbrella, DSTM, and Disturbia, but if the 1st single is even half that good, I'll love it.

Have you guys realized she has already sold almost 35 million records (albums+singles)? With another massive era, she could easily be at 50 million by 2012!!!

I am pretty sure the album will be out worldwide on November 23rd...North America on the 24th.
Hopefully we get the single in the next 10 days or so.
Otherwise does that mean the single is out Nov. 23, and the album just before Christmas?

Although I like Run This Town, I hope she stays away from very hip/hop oriented songs and do more songs like Disturbia and Don't Stop The Music.
