Did the industry see a shift between the house/dance era into the ratchet era after Rihanna released Talk That Talk? I mean, after Rihanna started releasing urban singles (Cockiness, Birthday Cake, Talk That Talk, etc) other artists started following her lead and to this day, this trend is still going strong. Why is she such an influential force in the music industry?

Yes, she is also responsible for dance-pop, EDM/Electro House, piano ballads and midtempo pop songs taking off.

... no.

"Ratchet Pop Star".

I think she took an already-existing trend in urban music and exposed it to the mainstream pop world. So she didn't "start" it, she just shed light on it.

Rihanna didn't start ****. Bye

#1 on Hot 100 + more cultural significance than Rihanna's existence.

Yes.

Too bad this was no trend starter

Oh, boy.



And yes for the swift clock.

Not start but help push, I guess?

THE.delusions.
