but OG and WMN were the only fluffy pop songs

Looks like US is not here for the urban Rihanna. That's the only way I can understand those sales
WFL is much bigger than both OG and WMN so I would expect TTT to have bigger sales than Loud.

And Loud also didn't have much promo in the US.

or should we blame YdO?

Rihanna's best vocals to date (on a recording) is "Fool in Love". "Fading" is molded after "Take a Bow". "California King Bed" can't even compare to the ballads on Rated R, sis.

Rated R isn't supposed to have titans because it wasn't made for hits.

Although you're forgetting the one hit from Rated R was #1 for more weeks than the Loud singles combined. I guess Rated R could.

Yes, her best vocals are on Complicated and FIL, but where are they on Rated R?

Fading is not even REMOTELY similar to Take a Bow. It jizzes over TAB in every sense of the word jizz, you can not even use the 2 in the same sentence.

California King Bed can compare to teh "ballads", only one it may not compare to is CCL, but even then the 2 are totally different. CKB still ***** all over them tbh; I honestly feel like cutting myself when listening to CCL.

What hit was that sis? Roc Me Out's pre-teen sis?

Whatever. Rank them as you wish. I just think that an album of which making Rihanna was the least involved can't be considered her best. I don't see it being eligible for that title. And there's also many other points that have already been brought up in this discussion.

"S&M", sis.

"S&M" and "Only Girl" are the only dance songs on the album, but that doesn't mean the album wasn't designed for hits. WMN? was a crossover smash. "Fading" was a more heavenly replica of a #1 hit. "Cheers" is a weekend anthem. I mean, of course the public is going to think this is "better" when it caters especially for them.

True tea:
Rated R > GGGB > Loud >>>>>> TTT > MOTS > AGLM.
I can't rank TTT higher because it has some serious flaws, some songs are her worst songs overall.

It seems like you forgot about Raining Men. That could have easily smashed, specially on Urban and Rhythmic. I'm so sad that it flopped hard like that. It was awsum. It should have been released after S&M before California King Bed/Man Down.

Which songs would that be sis? Because they apparantly aren't on MY version of the album.

I assumed the Rated R comment was only for the 'titan' line.

Uh, yes, it is. An Enya sample doesn't change that. I agree, "Fading" > "Take a Bow", but you have to be deaf to not realise they are basically the same.

Sis, even "Stupid in Love" is better than CKB.

The hit that was still more successful than your precious Loud singles.

I agree, it had so much potential. Death Jam handled it all horribly.

Those songs make the album sis. You Da One is a flawless angelic song, God's Cake is the *****-pop anthem of the DECADE. Not to mention the ***** moisten when it comes on. Do Ya Thang is flawless and you will NOT come for it.

Cockiness is just waiting to slay. Not to mention its completely original, I've never heard a song like this before.

But sis....
