There was no point to the BJ album. She should have just released a Piece of Me: Greatest Hits with 1 or 2 new songs to coincide with the show.
Funny how everyone wanted her to leave the overproduced/impersonal dance songs for a stripped back sound and she does it and it bombs terribly. She should obv. go back to the overproduced dance pop. It's what she's good for.
Everyone would be here if she really did go for a more stripped sound and made it good. The thing is, BJ is just a bad album, basically a bunch of #willpower and PRISM rejects.
we are speaking on the last media-relevant things these artists have done. everyone agrees that 2009 was rhianna's last bit of true media relevance...
Rihanna has been latching herself onto Chris every year after 2009 in some way whether it be using him for promo or getting back together with him/collaborating
shut up. it's more the fact her reaction to her flopping. The fact she is calling stans from 08/09 fake stans because we criticize her. The fact she blocks them on twitter. She ****** attitude is whats pushing people over.
We're not all BonBW who uses the Muppets special as an excuse
With a rerelease and idk how long she's dragged this era on for.
Those sales actually don't include the re-release hihihi and just because the era was longer than Rihanna's annual trip to the clinic, that doesn't mean it was dragged on.
MJ was a PEDOPHILE. That's like the biggest crime ever. Whitney was a crackhead - another huge no no.
Those two never had the continued success of Beyonce either. People love to glorify the past.
MJ started flopping 1995 and NEVER recovered. That HIStory album/era was considered a huge mess and fail.
Whitney's last big album was The Bodyguard in 1993 (8 years after she started). She scored 1 more #1 after that era and never had a BIG album afterwards. MLIYL peaked at #13 in the US and sold 3.5 million in 1998/1999 when there were tons and tons of artists crossing 5-6 million and a handful doing 10+. JW bombed and that was that.
The bar was low. They all flopped and Beyonce released an album which has been hyped up since February. Obviously she'd sell well any dumbass could figure that out.
now it's a guarantee that Beyoncé's album was going to sell well
I don't see the drag though, is it supposed to be bad that Rihanna's life is boring? She hasn't even dated anyone since Chris Brown. If Rihanna got pregnant the world would be all over it and that child would be stalked just like Blue.

Rihanna's individual sales aren't the best but her collective totals are impressive. She has sold over 30 million albums and who knows many hundred+ million singles, and she just added a really big tour to her resume.
It IS impressive to be able to score huge hit after huge hit and sell 3-4 million albums on a yearly basis.
