Diamonds is Rih's best song

Rihanna's producers always know what's ahead of the curve. It's crazy how successful WFL and Diamonds were, for average songs.

That's why she has writing camps. Writing songs like they're running out or something. Poor her.

Why aren't u guys talking about Bryan Singer?

That is like ATRL catnip but gained no traction whatsoever. The pics of him next to twinks in parties...

Hugh Jackman def. got some too way back...

Diamonds was the blueprint for 2013 music. Literally all the lead singles were trying to emulate its success. Some succeeded (well not reall but still) like Katy with Roar and others failed (see XO)

Scarlett Johanson made me realize I'm not entirely gay due to being a Madead, Kylie and Cher fan.

The performance of Rihanna's lead singles is interesting but by now predictable. When they're released to iTunes they do well, but people don't care enough about her to rush out and send them to #1. So they peak at like #2 or 3 and gradually begin their descent. By the end of the week they're down to like #9, barely clinging to the iTunes top 10. But they're still in the top 10. Early the following week they increase a little like all relatively new songs with top 10 exposure do at the beginning of the week when people check out what's new. And by then radio is spinning the **** out of them, also helping the increase. Soon after the video is out, it goes viral, and with 100M+ AI and all those views, the song is set.

Too bad they can't write anything decent besides the lead single.

It's easy for an artist like her that doesn't have a strong fanbase to be consistent and not overexposed. People aren't asking for more music yet she gives them it and it winds up doing very well.

Rihanna makes a song a hit and Rihanna makes something a trend. Stop trying to discredit her.

It's possible for her to hit the million mark again, but due to lots of negative media perception of hers, she might have to settle for 700k-800k.

The music industry keeps going down every year which also makes it harder for people to buy music.

[BoyOnBoy Wonder]

Yeah, I'd put my predictions around 700k-800k for The Lord too.

I'd rather the performance of the song be predictable than the actual song tbh
