Do y’all realize just how big this next era is going to be? I don’t think people are truly realizing what’s to come, she’s gonna completely take next year. Unless things just completely go the wrong way this could be as big as at it gets. If her next album is as good as Anti and she manages to not completely fall flat at the Super Bowl, someone better order me a stan card. 

Honestly that’s the scariest part. Assuming the album drops in 2023 she’ll be 18 years into her career. 18yrs later having the chance to repeak commercially and shift her celebrity status to higher heights. 
 

Crazy to think about all the potential this next era has if all goes well!

Everyone should check this interview out, it feats a snippet of Baby Rih singing. 

 

 

^ppl used to throw so much shade on her vocals and how they could never understand how she got signed.

 

That video proves she always had such a lovely voice. 
 

Another one of my fave videos of her in her early days 

 

 

Easily one of her best videos

Rih has always had the best tone

 

Rihanna has also easily had the best vocal growth out of all the atrl pop girls from each era, I mean

 

MOTS/AGLM > GGGB > RR > Loud/TTT > Unapologetic > Anti

It's definitely not her most forgotten #1 like most claim, that goes to SOS 

I was watching the DWT on YT and wow rih is actually a great performer, she may not be a powerhouse vocalist or the best dancer but she really knows how to command the audience and the stage.

Loud was SOOOO BIG in the UK... If it would have been pushed like it should and not cut before it even had a year... Then it would be one of the absolute biggest of all time there... 

 

LTWYL #2 and 4xPlatinum 

OG #1 and 6xPlatinum 

WMN? #1 and 2xPlatinum 

WTC? #6 and Platinum

AOTL #15 and 2xPlatinum 

S&M #3 and 2xPlatinum 

MD #54 and Gold

CKB #6 and Platinum

Cheers #15 and Silver (cut off by WFL) 

Fly #16 and Silver

WFL #1 and 4xPlatinum 

 

In just 15 months... 

 

That was the time?

One thing I hated back then was that LOUD was cut short in late 2011.

TTT should have been an expanded edition like it was supposed to do.

And it was even before that weird era of pop that Gaga brought to the music scene.

Disturbia was really ahead of its time.

Plus, it's shaping up to be a Halloween classic a la Thriller, or am I reaching you guys?

The most forgotten #1 is probably SOS yes. Actually here in Europe for me Unfaithful was bigger than SOS being honest. 

 

Anyway still a bopt. 

 

I feel like Pon DE Replay should have gone #1 and not SOS... But charts work like that. 

 

She also has some bigger #2-#3-#5  peaking singles than some of her #1s

It is. 

 

It always gets that Halloween push. And it feels like each year is getting more established

No. I'm glad TTT was a different album. I'm not glad she cut short Loud tho.... But that was her label pushing her so... 

 

I think TTT should've come out Q1 or Q2 of the following year. And fully push Cheers and let it die before WFL conquered

I agrih to an extent, but I'm ultimately glad we got TTT instead, which in my opinion is the quintessential Rihanna album (not best, don't get it twisted)

 

Plus you left out You Da One and Do Ya Thang!

OMGGGG. Is it for the soundtrack or her album? Do we know if the supposed release next week is for the soundtrack or her lead?

 

I AM SO EXCITED

What do you with trash? You take it out!

Just started collecting vinyl and I need ANTI so bad. I don’t understand why this classic isn’t being pressed regularly

They better!! I just saw one in stock and well-priced too, but the website looks shifty. Their font is comic sans and the LP’s date of release says ‘Sep 2021’. I’m kinda tempted

It's not confirmed. But the lead should be a different song.
