^People at her label are insisting that the single is coming but that doesnt necessarily means its making any impact officially in september. I think they are gonna go off the Grammy Deadline and give her an adds date October 5th or maybe Sept 28th.
Why I think 2 months is a good time before the album is that it gives her more time to get her name out there. Plus this has helped her with Good Girl Gone Bad. Umbrella was released march 29th and the album came out June 7th. Thats 2 months right there. Especially with a "singles" artist like RiRi by the week of the album is released she can have the #1 song at the same time.

Especially with a "singles" artist like RiRi by the week of the album is released she can have the #1 song at the same time. Yeah, but "Rated R" sold more the first week than "Good Girl Gone Bad" with a flop single, and it has sold more albums to date during the same time span that "Good Girl Gone Bad" was out up until "Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded" was released. They shouldn't worry so much about the timing, and focus on the single. If the single is burning up the charts and is already a hit, she doesn't need to wait two months to release an album. She isn't a new artist. Many artists are making the mistake of pushing their albums back in favor of hoping that a second single will create more buzz, and that usually doesn't happen. It only inflates first week sales, and then the album drops like a rock, or it deflates sales because the single they pushed the album back for flopped and the single before that already peaked. It's too risky.

But 2 months is not really a long time in Rihanna Land.
8 weeks (roughly 9)
Look At Rude Boy... it took like 5 weeks before it reached the #1 spot. No one isnt gonna lose interest in the album. katy Perry waited 3 1/2 months to release her album and she has had one of the biggest hits all year. Also Rated R came out when Rihanna is an established name.. Good Girl Gone Bad is the cause of it.. plus it was released in a better sales climate.

Looks like "Te Amo" became a hit in Europe after all. After spending weeks in the top 20 of Euro Hot 100 it now jumped at place #6. Congrats.Let's go for #1 www.charly1300.com/eurosingles.htm

Wow, I'm surprised Te Amo is doing something now. The video premiered and then it seemed to fade. Still wish it was burning up US radio right now or after LTWYL peaks. :(

It will be interesting to see where Rockstar 101 lands this week after premiering on the hot 100 last week at 99. Since then it's been at a constant 38-41 spot on the itunes charts, hopefully it can shoot up.

Still wish it was burning up US radio right now or after LTWYL peaks. :( I also beleive that they should release "Te Amo" in the US just because it was proven to be a hit in Europe and will probably climb even higher on the charts.I always belived that this song would be a hit.

I think it's too late now for Te Amo. IF and only IF there's going to be one last single they need to remix Fire Bomb with Eminem. Plain and simple as that, we would have RihRih on top of the "Most #1's on CHR" list

Maybe I didn't explain what I was trying to say well enough. I'm talking about this: Rihanna ties for most Pop #1'sBTW, watching the Good Girl GOne Bad DVD right now. It's such a bummer that this didn't get re-released with some performances of Disturbia and Take a Bow, plus, the videos would've made it just perfect.

I don't see Def Jam going back to the "sad domestic abuse victim" image again. So the likelihood of FB being released is slim. I believe her only options are "Hole In My Head" featuring Justin Timberlake (who hasn't had a song out in a long time, so this could do really well on the charts) or releasing a new song off. Also whatever happened to the David Guetta-Rihanna track? Shouldn't they be releasing that soon?

The David Guetta- Rihanna track is for the forthcoming era. Also remixing FireBomb with Eminem is a dumb idea for me. Yeah sure they work well together on LTWYL but that doesnt mean it will be the same. FireBomb is perfect as it is. It shouldve been the first single IMO and releasing it now is too late. Im rooting for RS101 to succeed. Its an anthem that just needs to have successs.

After the success of her collaboration with Eminem, Rihanna’s label is calling up the producer behind the No. 1 record to cook up another hit for her next album.
Alex Da Kid, who produced Rihanna’s duet with Eminem, “Love the Way You Lie,” tells Billboard that Island Def Jam is hungry for another smash for their star’s new album. “We worked together about a year before ‘Love the Way You Lie’ in London, and obviously that song has helped the people around her and her label say, ‘Oh, that’s a big hit, we want another one,’” says the Londoner. “You know how the music industry is.”
The in-demand hitmaker, who’s recently been in the studio with Avril Lavigne, describes RiRi’s new music as a combination of her past work. “I’d say it’s like a mixture of her two sides. It’s commercial, but at the same time it’s got an edge to it—it has substance.”

JustJared caught up with Rihanna after her Madison Square Garden show last week where she told him that the project will be “strong, fun, and sassy.” Check out some backstage footage from her New York City show below.

I still say an EM-mixed version of FB would be good for at least a download-only single. It might even go top 10. I hope her lead release is more upbeat, though.

You know Im actually hoping for a mid tempo ballad with a big pop hook. Like a Dont Stop The Music meets Rude BoyOn a more lighter note... What do you think Rihanna's image should be like for the new album?

Keep this red hair,curl it up or something. For real,just step out of the Dark(Rated R) area and Step into a new GGGB era.

I think the Russian Roulette hair color makes her standout and rihanna always likes to be different. Im hoping for a tall (not really tall) light blonde weave. Like when she just started The GGGB era before she went super short. If she can duplicate that with the light blonde with the curls that would just be perfect.
Im kinda over her short cuts. And im not that big a fan of the red her tbh. Its too risque.

I say she should grow her hair out a bit (a bit shorter then the SOS days) and go for a less edgy look. I think she already proved what a risk taker she is in her music and appearance. I think it's time to tone it down a bit but not so much to be bland .

well said Drag. I even liked her SOS look. I just want the hair color to be a bit lighte and shorter like in her Hate That I Love You video.
BTW since this era is kaput. Im gonna ask the mod if its okay to start a new thread for her.

No it is not safe to say that she's the biggest female there, that would remain Mariah, even tho her album only went gold, but Mariahs last effort was even less mainstream than Rihanna's. Mariahs next album will be huge, this album was more of a fans album which was great. So basically Rihanna has sold 3 million ww? I think she should go with a rerelease, but i think they are just going to go with another album. Mariah is hardly the biggest female in the game (that would be Jelly Clarkson...har har har) - no, but seriously, she's not. She is most def. one of them. Rihanna isn't.
