Is Rihanna's album going to disappoint in the US? Loud was a successful effort in both the US and Worldwide. It's obvious this album will do very well in the U.K., but is it ultimately set up to fail in the U.S.? Rihanna is booked worldwide touring for the rest of the year. How will she resurrect the album?

I'm concerned, I want this to do well. Although I guess at the end of the if the music is solid (which is Rihanna is consistent with that), then I'll be ok. But what are your thoughts?

Originally posted by KoreanDream I'm not worried. I'm positive they have something lined up for the U.S. release week. They wouldn't have 0 promo.

Originally posted by LightandDarkness Def Jam would never do that to Rihanna.

Originally posted by Deemy Why are you posting the obvious? Def Jam is taping her appearances.

Originally posted by thegmangrant People need to post this in the Talk That Talk thread when I was freaking out. You all immediately post in these new threads, but it takes a decade to get real information in the album thread.

Originally posted by KoreanDream We've discussed this a million times in the Talk That Talk thread, though.

I don't get why people care so much about the first week, her tour ends in december so she can't promote for 1 month only. Longevity is what matters and if she starts promoting after the Tour she will be fine, and maybe she can pre-tape some promo

Originally posted by Nicole DefJam has done VERY well by Rihanna, idk why people complain about that. They've given her lots of great pop songs to sing. What more can she ask for?
