Yeah I have to agree! Cause its clear the public wants her to release music that makes them dance, and thats the last song on the album thats daneable! And I think if she came up with a sick video with sick choreography that itd be a massive worldwide hit for her! I see it having the same success as Rude Boy, especially with it being the summer single!

Well you cant really say that because Firebomb does have the potential to become one of the biggest songs of all time! Especially if she was to release it during award season! And performed it at the AMAS VMAS and BET Awards! You never know! So......................

Only Rihanna song that would deserve the tile is "Unfaithful".

"Fire Bomb" is so damn overrated.

Yeah its a nice song but Id have to agree! I dont know why people find it so magical!

I know.

I think "Cold Case Love" is the best ballad on the album and one of the biggest highlights of her career.

It's so refreshing, new, like a far better "Rehab" and surprisingly kinda unncommercial. A huge step up in her career.

i wouldnt call Photographs a dark song..

I'm gonna think realistically and economically, right now as a fan I want FIRE BOMB because I want to see an earth-shattering video...but the best and smartest choice would be a single that could work in multiple markets right now (US,EU / Dance/Pop/Urban). Only singles that can do this now are: Te Amo, Rockstar 191, and maybe Photographs Already eliminated is Fire Bomb!

01. RUSSIAN ROULETTE.
02. HARD.
03. RUDE BOY
04. ROCKSTAR 101

I'd go with Rockstar 101; simply because its big beat and it is super catchy! When I think of summer I think of clubbing, looking good, going out all night, sleeping all day... which sums that up? Rockstar 101.

04. TE AMO -- This would also work because of the very summery feel it gives off and she could make a nice beach video, club/dancing video for this.
05. PHOTOGRAPHS -- Could work well during Spring as it seems like the type of song to remind you of a Summer love (if she went with Te Amo before)

But it's so difficult to choose singles for her right now, only thing I see flopping if released next is Fire Bomb/G4L/Cold Case Love for summer. Remember, people want something big and dancey (pop) as they did for Rude Bwoy! So top contenders are (RCKSTR 101, PHOTOGRAPHS, TE AMO) -- Those were the songs that screamed single release to me.

If she's going for critical acclaim around the time of the Grammy's she can release COLD CASE LOVE (doubt they'd take a risk with this due to the CB incident, they've been trying to stray away) / FIRE BOMB

When do you all think Rude Boy will peak and start descending down the charts? She's usually known for releasing a new single right as one peaks, DefJam is good with timing. Let's say it peaks in April, we should have our adds date for _________ by then! Her singles usually take a month to heat up (May) which means she's ready to kill by June/July! So by July (with a possible hit) she can release ________. It peaks by September, we can have a SLOW song.

***So maybe Rockstar & Te Amo will be pushed for summer? with Photographs being that slow down song! Photographs peaks by early December and we are given Cold Case Love as a FINAL single! Those are my plans for singles.

4. Rockstar 101
5. Te Amo (3RD WW)
6. Photographs
7. Cold Case Love

I absolutely agree with you on every single word that you just fonted! I think Firebomb would slay of course, but releasing a ballad in the summer is soooooooooo risky! But firebomb or cold case love MUST be released because those are going to be her grammy winning songs!

As far as Rude Boys peak I believe the last week of April it will reach its peak, and then about 2 weeks later mid May itll start to trickle down the charts and we should know whats the next single by then! And I see the next single being released around that time(mid may) when rude boy starts to decline! They have to be very cautious on what they release next! And im so torn and confused on what I want the next single to be, so I know Def Jam is having a hard time! Im veryyyyyyy anxious to see where shes going next cause its sooooooooo many different ways she could go! Photogrpahs, Te Amo, and RockStar are just like totally opposite from each other and offer totally different sounds! Thats what I love most about her I think shes so universal and has so much variety to offer, she just isnt consumed in one box!

"Fire Bomb" isn't a Grammy material. "Cold Case Love" on the other hand is.

And I'd hate for "Rockstar 101" to be a single.

"Te Amo" for the summer.
"Photographs" for the autumn.
"Cold Case Love" for the winter.
THE END.

Fire Bomb and Te Amo.
Both are correct!

Are you kidding me? Firebomb not GRAMMY material? Well everyone is entitled to their own opinion! But that sounded silly as hell!

It sounds like it's made for teens only.

"Cold Case Love" is way more mature.

FireBomb is the most critically acclaimed song on the album! And the grammies typically go for those songs>popular songs!

The most critically acclaimed songs on the album are "Hard", "Russian Roulette", "Rude Boy" and "Cold Case Love".

"Fire Bomb" is a fan-favorite.

No its Firebomb!
Hard, RR, and Rudeboy were the albums commercial/popular songs!

"Hard" was praised for being more hip-hop influenced and different from the rest of the album.
"Russian Roulette" was praised for being one of her best vocal performance and having a different, intense, dramatic background.
"Rude Boy" was praised as being the most danceable song on the album and was sort of a comeback to her most suitable sound and the closest it gets to the "Good Girl Gone Bad" pop perfection.
"Cold Case Love" was praised as one of the biggest step ups in her career and that the songs is even better field with personal experience.
