She alienated too many christian followers, so it's ok. Did she have a large Christian following prior to Rated R's release? Of course she had. Don't Stop The Music was #1 on the gospel charts for like 5 months. I'm sure she'll get her audience back though now that Rockstar is exploding right out of the gate.

her next album will be a POP commercial type album. Although shes getting a lot of heat for this new image shes created. Its sets her apart from her other counterparts. i dont even remember 'Shut Up And Drive" rihanna now when I got the "Hard" which is more grown, wild and sexy. I hope the next album is poppy but I want it to be like Rude Boy. Explicit nature but clean lyrics.

NEW RIHANNA ALBUM COMING AROUND FALL 2010 June 5, 2010 | Posted by Natalie at 8:36 am SRP Records just wrote on their Twitter that we might expect new Rihanna album around Fall 2010 and that it contains “monster hits”. To tease us more Evan Rogers shared that he’s been listening to Rihanna’s new material yesterday and in his opinion it’s going to be her best album!
Rihanna will be coming back to United States in two days. Today she’s performing at Rock In Rio Festival which is her last european date. In July she’s starting the US/Canadian leg of her “Last Girl On Earth” Tour.

^^Same here, but she's doing exactly what the label wants this time around. All the best producers, a more mainstream look, and more endorsements will probably make this album a smash.
Honestly, I'm excited to see what happens.

^It didnt have one hit. U people think that a numbver 1 single should happen for all the singles. They are all reaching the top 10 of the Hot 100 and reaching #1 on some chart whether it be dance or watever. So quit hate and appreciate she doesnt need to rush as rated R is a damn good album. Best pop album of the yeaar. ask rolling stone.

There's no way a new album is coming out in the fall. The US leg of her tour starts in July, and then she goes to Asia and South America. She said she's really excited about the material they've been recording though. I'm guessing it's for a re-release or an EP.

Seriously this era could have been amazing if the right songs were released as singles and no one would complain. Russian Roulette, Rockstar, Wait Your Turn as a promo-only, Mad House a semi-track, NO Te Amo, NO Photographs? Seriously? Hard (US) / Russian Roulette (Europe + Australia) Rude Boy Te Amo / Wait Your Turn (urban-only US single) Photographs Fire Bomb / Rockstar 101 (urban-only US single) New album in April 2011

Curious about her coming out with a new album so quickly. This has just continued to grow on me--it's so strong, surefire smashes be damned.

Everyone will hate my single choices, but I would have kept the first three singles and then released Photographs about a month ago. Then, if they had time, maybe Te Amo at least worldwide. I know that the first few singles didn't perform as well as previous singles, but ultimately I think the creative choices helped her more than just releasing the most obvious radio friendly pop song as the first single. She really, really set herself apart in some ways. I wouldn't change that even for more commercial or radio success. Rude Boy came along and smashed any doubts about her ability to get a commercial hit again. The only place I would see as a real fumble is no clear fourth single right now. I know a lot of people do not agree with Photographs, but it seems like the clearest next hit to me and the best mid-tempo type sound. I don't get Fire Bomb still or CCL yet.

Rude Boy Fire Bomb (remix it with some rapper for Urban) Hard Te Amo Photographs
This album would've been a SMASH.
I honestly wouldn't expect her new album to be released any time before February 2011. I actually hope they do a summer release for next year! First single on April/May and release in June 2011.

I know it got the era off to a rocky start, but I sort of can't imagine it starting any other way than with Russian Roulette. Given her very public personal life at the time, that song was so appropriately somber and angry. Starting with Rude Boy, the most obvious hit with the album, may have felt a little like "ignore my life, here's fun music." I'm not sure it would have worked as well. I'd go:
Russian Roulette Wait Your Turn Rude Boy Te Amo Hard Fire Bomb/G4L...not sure it would do well but I love it.

I'd go: Russian Roulette Wait Your Turn Rude Boy Te Amo Hard Fire Bomb/G4L...not sure it would do well but I love it. She had Barbra Walters for that. Also, I bet that in that specific moment the title RUDE BOY alone would've created LOTS of press attention and speculation prior to the release of the song. Then she hits us with that fun, catchy song... even my grandma would've danced to this in her undies!

dbhmr is right. I wouldnt want her to start with Rude Boy either. The best song that dealed with her personal life and really summed it up was Russian Roulette and Cold Case Love. I wanted CCL to be released in the US while Russian Roulette release overseas since it was bigger internationally. then Rude Boy as the 2nd single. I like wait your turn as the promo single. that was a good promo single choice.

She tears it up in that new Eminem joint. I have always enjoyed a little of Rihanna's music and always thought she was pretty good. Now i think im turning into a fan of her's. We will see. She can flat out sing.

Yes her vocals have improved but haters seem to think that she cant walk and sing at the same time. Even if shes not the best singer some of these bitches who claim to be singers cant even have a #1 single.

She barely danced when I saw her live and some people around me did complain but I say give her time. Once she's more confident about her vocals I'm sure she'll dance and sing at the same time. Another album sounds good to me I wish they'd release "Fire Bomb" though..
