This album is pretty Urban for the UK scene atm. I'm not sure how well it'll do in the long run. First week is sorted though, I can definitely see this opening with 120k+, easily. She just needs that promo slot as no one knows that she actually has an album out in under 2 weeks. That's not an exaggeration, at my school not one person knows that she has an new album out soon.
I need the LOUD Tour DVD
I need the Diamonds Tour DVD next November too.
Rihanna has the whole Navy spoiled. We deserve this. She's growing as an artist and we're experiencing every step with her.
I love that Rih decided to experiment & release a less radio-friendly/commercial album for the fans. She really could have capitalized off of the success of We Found Love with an album full of dance, but she decided to challenge us instead. This will be her next 'artistic' album after Rated R... hopefully soon we'll have a trinity!
