This bitch is so damn GREEDY. I love how she refuses to let any other bitch compete.

As far as going too fast? Not at all. The urban charts are very slow, so it'll be a while before RM gets high up, but it'll eventually smash. OG is peaking pretty much everywhere, and WMN is selling itself right now. Now is the perfect time to throw Raining Men out there as it'll bring in more urban audiences to Loud. S&M will smash world wide early next year. At first, I thought Cheers and CFB should be released before these, but it makes all sense now. With Britney, GaGa and possibly Beyonce coming out early next year, Rih's mid-tempo and ballads are the perfect songs to release during that time. It's a no brainer that the other 3 are gonna come out with uptempo club smashes as their first 1-2 singles, so Rihanna releasing the more pop, dance oriented now while there's less competition is genius.

CFB and Cheers will slay spring/summer 2011.

These are the hit singles:
1. Only Girl
2. What's My Name
3. S&M (Only Girl is on its way down, and Pop will need a new song, while WMN begins to topple)
4. Raining Men (A little early, but with WMN being so catchy, she can have two hits together)
5. Cheers/ California King Bed
6. Complicated / California King Bed
7. Fading -- clearly a RIHANNA song that is clever yet so safe, but could still do good!

S&M is gonna be great for sales. The song is gonna be so scandalous. Parents are gonna create a frenzy when they hear it on the radio. It's gonna be a disgusting news fest that will call for album sales and single sales.

Raining Men is also gonna be MAJOR on Urban and will probably cross over to Top 40 on its own. I see total domination.

Def Jam is really stepping it up. And Rihanna, with more control, is assisting in the making of brilliant decisions. Love this.

Me too

Complicated could be huge in Europe.

Rihanna is playing it too safe now

My singles choices:

1st: Only Girl (in THe World)
2nd: What's My Name?
3rd: S&M
4th: California King (Bed)
5th: Complicated (Europe & Australia Only), Cheers (US Only)

Then re-release..

OMG YES, that song is great

i'm cind of sure 'Cheers' is gonna be the 4th single. wait and see.

Cheers should've been third since Who's That Chick impacts on Tuesday. Having so many uptempos in a row might not be good. Cheers will probably be 4th, but then they will need another uptempo track to be 5th. Maybe Raining Men will crossover. All the others are midtempos and ballads. I'm hoping Part 2, CKB, or Complicated see the light of day as well.
