Every artist has it's overall "bad era" and im just waiting.

the fact you are waiting for her flop is a bit sad

Anyways she already had a bad era with RR era

RihannaLoverrr

Because it's always her last few singles that flop her lead ones are always successful & majority of the flops were not promoted and didn't have videos.

The fact that Beyonce will probably outgross Rihanna on her WW tour for a album that came out in 2011 is pretty comical especially since Rihanna is some WW phenomenon that you guys make her out to be.

Everything beyonce does, she milks it. Album =100 singles, incessant promo spots on shows, tour multiple 100s of dates.
Rihanna has already done moved on to the next era

, with only 88 tour dates. $140M projected and the girl had no promo when she even announced the tour

She randomly announced that she was going on tour and tickets went up for sale

. Next. You better pray she doesnt actually PROMOTE her next album , PROMOTE her next tour and MILK the next tour

Diamonds -

Went #1 and it did pretty good WW - US.

Stay -

Went #3 and it was also a hit WW.

First two singles entered all-time charts.

Pour It Up -

Music video was late. But it went top25 anyway / means it is not a flop.

Right Now -

It hasnt got a music video, promo, performance etc.

What Now -

It's just starting

Music Video came this week. She will perform it on AMAs. It's too early to call it "flop"

MONSTER -

Her 13th #1

IamCY

Cause none of them with a video have flopped below Top 20 since CK/MD and she smashes a lot

Rihanna never really flops. Regardless of whether she charts top 10 or not, she still pays top dollar to have her songs played on radio every hour on the hour. Everybody knows her songs because of overplay

It's because Rih always has 2-4 smashes in a era then she retires that era and moves on from the flops in that era.
Then she comes hard the next era (which is usually within a year or two) and gets another set of smashes.
She's consistent so, it's hard to really drag her flops when she has smashes still doing well while the flops, flop.
With that being said, she's going to have her bad era soon. Every major pop act had one within the past 2 years.
It's only about time.

It's bc her lead single did well and the follow-up also did. Nobody cares for 3rd, 4th singles flopping, they generally don't do as well....
