Paul Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 She just 22, and 9 number ones. I think she gonna get her. We haven't seen her best yet. Number 1s these days don't count like they used to. None of todays girls can compete with Janet Mariah Madonna and Celine, who could all sell singles and albums. Poor Rihanna has had about 5 albums and only managed to sell 12 million ww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 that's not a good thing a 1.29 artist I know.....Her inability to sell albums makes me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I know.....Her inability to sell albums makes me i find it odd... she can sell tickets and singles but no one wants her albums... if that were Beyonce or Gaga.. they'd be selling 10x Platinum... well Gaga would Beyonce would over-saturate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet and Madonna changed their images, but because they also wrote their songs there was a consistency there and their albums told a story about where they were in their lives, also they had personality. Wtth Rihanna that isn't the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtth Rihanna that isn't the case. I agree. I like her songs but she really has zero personality. I buy her albums now though cause I know the music will be tight and by the time I'm finished downloading every single she releases I should have just brought the album.

Mr. Wonder Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 #1s really don't mean anything nowadays. Even if she does catch Mariah, the only thing she'll ever be known for is having 19 #1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Y2K Malone™ Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 WHY IS IT THAT EVERYONE DOWN PLAY HER #1 IT IS WHAT IT IS MUSIC HAS CHANGED I AGREE TO A CERTAIN POINT BUT ONLY GIRL DESERVES TO BE #1 HELL IT'S #1 IN EVERY COUNTRY IT'S BEEN OUT SINCE SEPT. IT SEEM LIKE ANYTHING SHE DO YOU GUYS HATE I BEEN KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE #1 IT WAS BUILDING FOR THE LONGEST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzebabe Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 she probably will, but it won't mean shit in the grands scheme of things...I say if they are giving out the shit wholesale, she might as well get hers...for Mariah it was a huge deal because she has made a significant impact on music, none of these itunes artists have done that or will do that...Beyonce and Usher have the best shot, but both seem lack the creativity it takes to do so...at the end of the day, they will be remembered as people who made an impact for a certain period of time, but all time greats??? they won't be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought Rihanna's album, I happen to like Rihanna...my liking her does change the fact that what she has done up to this point will not have an impact at the end of the day...who the fuck is bashing you for liking her??? you can like someone without acting blind to that fact that there are reason people don't take what they have done seriously...this is not a like or dislike thing, this is what the state of music is, period...if she did the shit in the 90's it would mean WAY more than doing it today...this is not rocket science, this isn't even 8th grade general science....every artist that comes out now have to deal with the same scrutiny and same judgment...this shit is not exclusive to Rihanna chile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lets be fair, if Susan Boyle, Eminem, Kanye, Taylor Swift can sell huge amounts of albums then surely the "hottest chicks in the game" should be able to too, but they can't. so obviously they aren't that hot. By albums sales, SuBo is the hottest chick in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
