hotboy06 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Didn't I just say that, boo CKB is alrite as a single Man Down... no Just poor choices Ch.. I can say that the last two songs aren't what she was doing with the first three..one is a "ballad" and the other one is reggae/rnb.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Enjoi Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Rated R didn't seem like it was gonna go that far regardless (even tho thats my fav from her) It could have gone 2 million easily if they would have pushed the singles out there. It was highly uncommercial but after Rude Boy, it was clear there was still a desire for more Rihanna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleidoscope Eyes Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Cheers should be a single but damn it's been almost a year since the album came out and I've already played the damned song to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why the song won't be as big as it could've been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagre..she was losing steam at that point not to mention the train was goin at a slow pace to begin with. Rude Boy jumped for her ..but after that ...it was kind of..okay,good bye era. i dont see ANYTHING that could have saved that album. Rude Boy was the last great attmept that they had and it served its purpose well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockStar was not a bad follow up..I think thats actually a hott song but it didn't do shit becuz ppl were pretty much over that era after Rude Boy. I dont see any other singles that was gonna FOR SURE push her to the 2 mill mark. Again..it was already a slow train pulling out of the station. The wheels fell off once the momentum after "Rude Boy" slowed down.Ppl got what they needed and was over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetDAYZ Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Rude Boy saved that whole eraOtherwise......... Like Perez Hilton kept saying @ the time, the world is only here for dance/pop Rihanna Basically. They exhausted all of their other options by that point. Nothing else was gonna carry that album,period. And Russian Roulette and Hard are NOT bad singles,mind you...so thats says alot about that era just not being well received in the first place.The 2 mill mark is kinda ambitious for such a slow sell in todays market.

Had their set up been different.I think the outcome possibly could have turned out more rewarding. Russian Roulette? For a first single? NO. I see that being more towards the end of the era..single 3 or 4. I always think ballads as first singles are always risky and just not smart imo. It works in rare cases tho but not for most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Enjoi Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I don't know why but I think Wait Your Turn would have been a good first single. It would've been a risk but that hook might have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtraordinary Xternal Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I didn't understand the last couple of releases. They just seemed very random choices. She could have easily tied Katy and MJ with this era. 3 #1s aint bad tho. And yes she needs to move on ..hasn't she released like half her damn album by now? When beyonce gonna do it?
