Rihanna is both pop and R&B

Consider for RnB perspective, "Fortune" is not a flop then

!!! I've been saying this. Compared to the rest of the releases in it's demographic Fortune has sold pretty much on par or far above and is still one of the best selling R&B albums of the year so am not sure why the gorls continue to try it.

She's going to clock the king's tea in three week of sales. and knock of Beyonca out of the top 5...oop).

So are Chris Brown, Usher, Justin Bieber, Nelly Furtado, Ne-Yo, etc.'s latest albums. They should all be included, or none of them be included imo.

Frank Ocean has the best-selling proper R&B album in the US, and Beyonce worldwide.

Channel Orange

Right, they never want Rihanna to top lists. I could understand in 2007, but now everyone has taken her aesthetic and has mostly pop songs with R&B influences. But somehow they're R&B and she's not...

I think Rihanna's Unapologetic could end up #1

it's like she's doing nothing this year.
