If Ariana really wanted to be messy she'd collaborate with Stargate, Benny Blanco, Sia etc for her next album and snatch Rihanna's place on pop since she's an urban/country act.

Has Arihanna outsold Music of the Sun in US or WW

Lol, first she should learn proper singing and put off this thing around her head.

Rihanna = guaranteed global smash

But

Kanye = guaranteed global flop

For someone with her limited talent, Rihject had a good run.

In five years from now when she has been completely forgotten maybe she could become a p.ornstar ? She could still keep her current wardrobe.

its only #9 on iTunes, what kind of artflop throwback

Rihanna's had flop singles in the past, stop

You Da One (dr. luke), Right Now (David Guetta), etc

Hey Braz

Who would've thought Pr!ncess her folk attempt would inspire Rih?

She outsold it WW and you must be higher then Rih when she released this song to compare album sales from TEN YEARS AGO to now.

no one gives a flying f*ck about Adele or Taylor lol

The Rihanna song will be a hit. The chorus is memorable.

Lol @ everyone screaming 'Rihanna save us!' the past couple of months tho, when it's just as bland as an Ed Sheeran song, or worse.

Applause, hell, even BTW, were better lead singles than 4,5Heads.

Sam Smith and Ed are so ****ing boring and making this type of music. I really don't see why/how radio won't play this. It's different for Rih but it ain't sifferent for the current climate- it's literally just an accoustic song

Thinking Out Loud has the benefit of being a romantic song with a heartwarming melody. Like another member said, FourFiveSecondsRemainingofMyCareer sounds like a rose ave. deluxe track.

Plus, who wanted this from Rihanna? She's spent her entire career recording easy-listening pop and R&B, and now she's gonna come out with an alternative, middle-of-the-road track that sounds like background music for a Save the Children commercial? I doubt it.

Her perfect streak RUINED.

Lol. This song has a strong melody and is easy to sing along too.

Just because it's not a "bop", doesn't mean it won't be a hit. Gays doing the most per usual.

Diamonds sucked too, though. So much for the streak...

True

Adele truly ruined pop music
