Bitch plz.
You know the Unapologetic era has been flawlessly handled so far. Do not deny it!!
What I find strange is that there was very reliable intel that Beysus (who I love with all my heart) was testing two songs in some nowhere markets - "Rollercoaster" and "12 Roses".
This was over a month ago.
And now she's let the Super Bowl go by without an ounce of promo? Something's afoot.
And I'm terrified. ;____;
I wonder if we'll ever have a discussion on a Rihanus era being musically flawlessly handled.

You must be thinking of a certain Belly stan with a school band pastry name.
Whatever you say sis.
Imma keep it cute. But we both know what you've typed in there.

I'm saving it for a better occasion.
In fact I'm saving several receipts on many members here regarding the Unapologetic era past-Diamonds. Ya'll should be scared. *.*

I am not at all apologetic about my Unapologetic stanning *.*
We all know Stay and Pour it Up are the new singles but what do you guys think should be the next singles?
Nobody's Business for an early summer single would be great. She doesnt need to send an urban single out since it appeals to both pop and urban.
I want Lov7 Song to be a single too. I hear it all the time on urban radio. Such a jam. I think its now my fav song from Unapologetic hand down, after Diamonds.

You have to remember that she never did a tour for 4.
I'm here for Nobody's Business as a single. Loveeee Song seems popular enough to follow PIU as an urban single. I hope Rih makes this era stretch before slaying with her next album.
Lost In Paradise, What Now, and Lov7 most definitely.
I honestly believe Lost In Paradise was a smash the first time I heard it. Nobody's Business is an obvious single choice, so I'll leave that out.
Unapologetic jumping next to LOUD for my fave Rihallah era, insofar.
RIHlly?
I tolerate the song (its got some cool lines) but I would've swapped it for Half of Me as the album closer.
I think she can release some wild card singles down the line if she so desires tbh. As long as we get videos *.*
But it's the first era where Rih has yet to produce a memorable hit this far in
Thats your opinion.
The fact is Diamonds smashed worldwide (6M sold WW and counting), "Pour it up" is becoming an urban smash (and its also getting plays in pop) and Stay has been increasingly doing better each day in Europe, with it being TOP 10 in Europe's biggest music markets.

Carly Rae Jepsen's "This Kiss" should be a massive hit.
Next urban single should be Loveeeeeee Song, next WW single will likely be Right now, but it actually should be Jump.
I'm quite impressed that PIU is getting airplay on pop, considering it's so urban, but I guess when you're the radio queen, they play you everywhere.
I'm pressed that urban radio is spinning Loveeeeeee Song tho, since it's getting in PIU's way and it's going to diminish the impact when it's actually a single. Urban really cannot get enough of her this era, it seems.
Edit:
Speaking of Rih, She's performing with Bruno Mars & Sting at the Grammy's. idk what they're doing, but if she doesn't do "Stay" I'll be supremely disappointed.

...right
Let's not pretend she has had a WFL or Only Girl this era or even a S&M. She hasn't. Diamonds is the most forgettable Rih lead ever, I don't think any of her lead singles were so short lived before. We usually would still hear it on the radio at this point. Diamonds died in weeks. It had payola just because it was new Rihanna, kind of why Hold It Against Me "smashed" and died faster than Britney's batteries.
It could wind up another Take Care situation where it was released so far down the line that the hype dried up. It still smashed but not as hard as it could have been.
I hope its another performance besides Stay. Or that theyre releasing a Stay remix with Bruno and Sting, which would make it appeal to formats that dont usually play Rih like Hot AC and regular AC.
If thats the case Im cool with that. Poor Micky Hewko tho....
Diamond's still has close to 100M AI. If you don't hear it on the radio maybe it's because you're deaf. And most short lived lead singles? Sorry, "Pon de Replay" or "SOS" or "Russian Roulette" were much more short lived.
You tried tho
If by dying down "fast" you mean it decreased after 4 months the I guess it died "fast".
It was actually a bigger hit than Only Girl and S&M by miles.
And Im LOLing at the thought that if it didnt reach WFL status its not a "good hit". Haters have high expectations for Rih, despite being a "lesser,basic bitch". Lol.

Sorry, maybe I meant forgettable in that it's god awful and the most annoying thing next to anything Maroon5 shits out

Oh, if I had known your post was just your flop opinion I wouldn't have wasted time replying.
It is. I wonder when it will be time for Christina's next one.
Ouch.
You speak as if there will actually be another one kiiiii
Vicious.

Am I the only one who sees potential in "Jump"? It's the right balance of throwback and current (even more so than "Nobody's Business" IMO).
Those two are the only jams in Unapologetic I can use, and since radio plays nothing but Rihanna nowadays, might as well flood the airwaves with something that won't ruin my daily commutes.
EDIT: Dat ESP, Second.

There is 0 actual chance of it becoming one though.
I like her but I am not optimistic about her future.
Every careers ends. There is a point where it is just over.
I think she she gives it one last try in a couple years.

Are there any more Janet Jackson albums like The Velvet Rope? This album is giving me everything, and I want more...
I love Rhythm Nation 1814 too, but I wouldn't call it similar to The Velvet Rope.

Oh I like Rhythm Nation too, but I need some provocative sensuality like The Velvet Rope. Maybe Janet.?

Poor Carly. The radio was all loving her, and then they just abandoned her.
I love them all but this one takes the cake. She should smile more in her pics!
Those last three shots are gorgeous.
Carly was just too much for the public to handle.
Still, not bad for a third place runner up on Canadian Idol.
