Let's have a little chat please, because I am in disbelief right now that Rihanna is embarking on a new album release so soon.
Why exactly is Rihanna releasing an entire new album already? It hasn't even been an entire year since the release of her previous album, LOUD (November 2010). Why not do a re-release of LOUD instead of jumpstarting an entire new era of music, videos, style, etc?
Music of the Sun (2005)
A Girl Like Me (2006)
Good Girl Gone Bad (2007)
Rated R (2009)
Loud (2010)
Untitled (2011)
It blows my mind that Rihanna will only be one album short of Britney's total albums released by the end of the year. They both released their first album SIX YEARS apart from one another and Rihanna will only trail Britney by one album once 2012 starts.
...Baby One More Time (1999)
Oops!... I Did It Again (2000)
Britney (2001)
In the Zone (2003)
Blackout (2007)
Circus (2008)
Femme Fatale (2011)
Beyonce is currently on her fourth solo album, where her first was released in 2003). If you include Destiny's Child as well, Bey has released 8 albums (the first one being released in early 1998).
Destiny's Child (1998)
The Writing's on the Wall (1999)
Survivor (2001)
Destiny Fulfilled (2004)
Dangerously in Love (2003)
B'Day (2006)
I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008)
4 (2011)
Why are Rihanna and her team moving so fast in between each era? Aren't you guys afraid that she'll burn out quickly due to overexposure? I don't think a one year break from your last single to your new 1st single would hurt her too bad. She has a solid fan base worldwide that can withstand the test of time. LOUD is still selling well across the globe and has a chance at 6 or 7 million sold with a re-release. Would a break for creative and artistic growth hurt? This isn't shade because I love Rihanna, but when is enough, enough? Wouldn't you be more excited for a new era after waiting 1-3 years as oppose to less than a year?
