Rated R is not as Dark as people make it out to be.

But either way, Rated R is brilliant and it deserves much more success than it has got. Besides, we have 'Loud' to look forward to now

yess! I know, i wish ppl would've just bought the album, its soo good. it tells a story! best rihanna album yet!

YES!!!!
This would pass 1 million

I think that Rated R sales are OK 1 million USA & 3 million W.W.

Go Riri!!!!

And it got him a flop career, stealing songs from scottish DJ's and such

Agreed.

I dont think Rihanna has a solid fan base, or she had one but she shifts up her style alot , thus losing fans

Reported.

What's dark? The video?

The SONG is upbeat, catchy, fun.

Do you think P!nk's 'So What' is dark?

3 Million WW....I personally find that impressive

no shade from me, truthfully.

I don't know how is Rated R not dark. I thought it was so blatant. Just compare it GGGB and her previous work. The tone, mood and content are all towards the dark, cold direction.

Sorry, I genuinely thought you were being shady with your first comment

I'm not saying it wasn't dark, but it wasn't exactly anti-commercial either. Though launching the album with 'Russian Roulette' was a bad move

I really think Roman should be a Rihanna stan. The only Xtina's stan not throwing shade aimlessly.

Where dem girls talkin' trash?
Where dem girls talkin' trash?
Where dey aah? Where dey aah? Where dey ahh?

Apparently every last one of them brought their crusty asses into this thread.

It's darker than her other work, but when you have single choices like Rude Boy & Hard you can't really play the 'dark' card
