This is the guy that made a parody about Royals and Lorde's team took it down.

So Lana fans, this is your last shot at trying to stop Lorde to completely erase Lana out of the picture by trying to get her some bad press, so go watch this video and drag Lorde to the pits on Twitter.

There's no one even really contending with Rih at this point unfortunately.

If that white boy wins over Kendrick @ the Grammys it'll just prove that white people stole hip-hop from us.

Why is he nominated in the Rap category anyway? That corny ass **** he does ain't rap.

What other singles would you suggest? There is no smash material on that album besides TEOG, Interscope did the best with what she gave them

first of all **** BTW and release TEOG as the first single, Judas although a good song it is not single material specially not during easter so i would pick MTN for second single, Y&I was an ok 3rd single, HML for 4th single.

No, duh. Rihanna represents the new meta of a pop artist.

Digital presence and relentless workmanship. It's nothing to criticize.

Workmanship isn't quite the word. More like saturation. But yes, she's successfully taken advantage of people's short attention span these days to keep herself current every era.

Ciara's last album before this one was in 2010 though.

idek why she bothers making albums when she CLEARLY wants to just be a model.

stupid hoe.

And now artists are sleeping on Benny Benassi, WHY?
The identity thief kinda snatched with this, not going to lie.

So is "Hey Brother" going to be Avicii's next worldwide smash?

It is impressive. She doesn't flop. She doesn't have any missteps. She hasn't shown any significant signs of decline or fading.

And yes, she doesn't ever have the biggest era during a calendar year (except mebbe GGGB); however, she's always there.

The ideology of a single pop girl dominating in all areas 100% of the time is flawed and virtually impossible now. This is a new generation and the viewpoint on dominance needs to be reworked.

In many sense, what Rihanna has been doing all these years is dominance. Other girls better adapt or be left behind, TBH.

You just don't get it, but you're a Manster. Yule see one day.

Bish i know what you have been trying to say all along lol but for ME the island Gal's success is not that impressive when consider the amount of material she has released in less than 10 years.

It's Hip-Hop. It's alternative Hip-Hop, but it's STILL Hip-Hop.

Good thing you didn't introduce her with Brand New Chick.

Tell that to Ciara.

Ciara's problem is her insistence of sticking to a purely urban sound. Like that's not fun for people. Madonna had one or two urban albums, Bey did the same before IASF, and Miley will probably switch sounds with her next record.

People don't want to hear the same repetitive album from one artist. It's not interesting.

Probably? It IS.
I didn't even watch this more than twice, and sadly the second time was just because they edited it and I had to see.

The Falling In Love video at least worked for the song and had the right aesthetic, blah, blah, blah but everyone here (except CL) looked ugly. All looking like drowned dead puppies turned into over-stuffed puppets moving in the worst way possible to the beat. Thank the heavens we got Missing You because this video was kind of a piece of ****.

Rihanna is indefatigable. I'm done with this discussion because I've spent way too much time on her.

She has shifted the expectations and tangible feasibility of being top-tier pop artist.

In a way, it is. Look @ Gags (no shade).

She is GUARANTEED to smash with a single each era. And yes, she is a pop artist with minimal musical involvement but the fact that Rihanna is almost always embraced by radio/digital is just amazing.

People need to stop judging artists based on rules and expectations old times past. Rihanna is, like, the new endgame of a pop star.

Her formula gets criticized a lot, but yearly releases and constant (new) radio presence hasn't backfired on her yet. No negative effects shown. Fans get treated to new music each year. She is constantly in the mix and relentless.

At this point, no one except Adele fans (mebbe Trailor Sh-t) can really shade her ablum sells.

What?

STFU

This song was kind of big on Canadian radio (or at least it felt that way). I like it so that was pretty awesome.
