How is "RTW" which is basically just Pon De Replay, not "dance" ?   Pon De Replay was a huge club/dance hit.
Deja Vu and RTA all hit top 10 on Billboard, no matter what fans may think. They were both hits. |
1- Your point was proven wrong. You said the reason it was a flop was that it sold half the previous record and I prove it was wrong. Not coming back. 3 million is what you guys call a successful era.
2 - RTW sampled a dance track but it's not a dance song, it's urban. And wtf is a Pon De Replay? And let me ask again? What about GW, Bow Down, I Been On, Turnt Up or SOTS is dance, because you went and talk about RTW when the subject was the music of this era. Focus.
3 - DV spent one week in the top 10 and RTA never reached the top 10. No one said they weren't hits but people called them flops at the time. Again what?
Receipts? 
I just said the trends have changed since she first started recording, and some songs that probably would have fit into radio when We Found Love dominated, probably won't fit into radio now that Macklemore is dominating
