It's so surprising to me that Unapologetic has outlasted Loud as her 3rd most streamed album in recent years (behind Anti and GGGB). We love to see it   

I don't find it suprising, it's much more in tune with the current popular soundscape than Loud. It's also a better album so I'm happy to see it

Loud was very 2010-2011s sound. It was so current in that moment but it didn't age as well.

 

Anyway... for me it was soooo important!!

 

Also.. I'm still mad that Man Down didn't become the hit it deserved... (anywhere but France.. where it's one of her Top3 ever)

Louds streams are so odd

 

S&M being the most streamed track ahead of Only Girl?

WMN and Man Down having surprisingly low streams? (especially considering their YT views)

Skin nearly out streaming Cheers? 

 

Man Down deserves better. I thought it would of had at least 400-500mil given its kinda a Rihanna staple 

The Sledgehammer hate in here!

 

 

One of her collabos that if released today would be 10x bigger.

 

The same feeling I have with Princess of china and Lemon. They simply were released at the incorrect time

 

 

a writer for the music site Stereogum is reviewing every #1 song on Billboard from 1958 up until the current day. right now he is up to 2007 and on Monday did a review of Umbrella which he gave a 9/10.

TASTELESS

 

 

Sledgehammer > Towards the Sun > Lift Me Up > the other irrelevants

Sledgehammer is not her worst soundtrack song 

 

It didn’t make the final cut of the official but 

 

 

As Real As You and Me >> Dancing in the Dark >> Lift Me Up > Born Again > Sledgehammer > Towards the Sun

Some days there is no doubt in my mind that WATCH n' LEARN is Rih's best song

Another example of how radio used to skew our perception of what the masses wanted/liked. 
 

What’s My Name seemed huge back then, and Rih even went the extra mile to push it, but it never became the classic we all thought it would be, same with cheers. Streaming shows actual consumption and album favorites

She was gonna SERVEEEEEEEEEE (even more than she did) 

 

It would've been sooooo iconic. 

 

And I'm 100.000.000.000% sure that the outfit(s) were gonna be very controversial if she wasn't pregnant. 

 

Ugh. 

 

We need SBHT #2. Please and thank you

That KIB x PDR mashup would of been such a moment, same with WnL x PIU. 

 

Damn, this should could of been so eclectic   I can kinda see why some of these were scrapped though. No way Rih was hitting most of those moves pregnant

 

By the looks of things R9 won't be anytime soon, but I'd honestly be happy if they released an official remix album with all these mashups. Looks like they were already halfway there anyway with all these rehearsal videos surfacing. Plus I need the Rude Boy remix on Spotify anyway, I hate having to shuffle to Soundcloud
