Eras last sooo long nowadays because hit songs have a much longer shelf life on the charts, so it feels crazy by today's standard that she released Only Girl, What's My Name, Raining Men, S&M, California King Bed, Man Down, and Cheers (Drink to That) all as hit singles around the worldwith their independent chart runs in the space of 13 months :rip: But back then that was the norm, you'd release a new single every two to three months

It wasn't though. Nowadays is when artists release a bunch of singles every other week. Rihanna back then was one of the few (if not the only mpg) who had the luxury of having multiple songs take off almost simultaneously without cutting off each other's chart runs prematurely.

 

When WFL came out, Loud wasn't even 1 year old and it already had 5 hits. This is unheard of for today's standards where instead of having a hit every 3-4 months in the span of a year, the girls get 1 single that charts for an entire year by itself.

 

Ofc exceptions exist but the general rule for the streaming era is 1 hit single = 1 era since that's all you need to have you album chart consistently.

Half of Loud + half of TTT would make one strong ass classic pop record. As is, they’re both just okay.

Talk that talk has so much filler… really a terrible album despite how great a few of the singles are

thank god. she didn't have anything left to release after S&M. TTT was the one she milked it out wrongly tbh

TTT the song deserved to be #1 hit for several weeks.
