It'll be really interesting to see how this affects Rihanna's next tour. If she waits a couple years and builds up demand again (by continuing to release huge songs), she might be able to stay a touring force. That's where Knee went wrong - FF should've never had a tour so soon after Circus and considering how the era went, she really shouldn't have toured at all.
you're wrong either way to include Knee in the trinity
2009 was almost 5 years ago, Knee can't sell albums and tour tickets and she can no longer sell singles.
Look, whether you like it or not you can't talk about the biggest popgirls in our generation without bringing up Knee. So what if she's dead. She still counts. Deal wit it.
The Monster Hit is not better than LTWYL.
It's an awful song that Em should be embarrassed by. Rihanna's hook is ok though. It's what makes the song a hit.
