Still good tho, it will fall a few spots next week (i think) because of Prince and Bey songs

Hey sistrens. Just wanted to pop in and say hi! I seriously could have never imaged my top three releasing some of their best music to date. 2015-2016 has been so good to us. Love and miss all y'all! Sorry I've been such a bad Nhevi lately!

Mess. What the hell happened since I last posted?

Why would anyone feel defeated over another artist sales. That's so dumb.

I know this site thrives of comparisons but Rihanna only needs to be concerned with herself. & articles like this perfectly highlight how she is one of a kind, nobody is doing what Rihanna was able to do in both music and fashion

Why everything Rihanna touches turns to gold

She’s sold 200 million records, had 14 No. 1 hits and designed apparel for the likes of Puma and Manolo Blahnik: It would seem that there’s nothing else left for pop princess Rihanna to conquer.

But how about the lucrative world of makeup?

The Barbadian beauty, fashion icon, magazine-cover star and multi-culti goddess just inked a reported $10 million deal to develop a full-scale makeup line, Fenty Beauty by Rihanna, slated to launch in Fall 2017 in partnership with luxury goods conglomerate LVMH.

And the partnership makes total sense, according to experts: Having fronted 19 major magazine covers in 2015 — and having scored No. 1 hits on a record seven consecutive albums — the 28-year-old transcends borders, culture and languages.

“Rihanna has made the kind of music-meets-fashion statements that have literally left everyone in the dust,” says Shirley Halperin, the news director at Billboard and music editor for the Hollywood Reporter. “She is as close as you can get to a guaranteed hit.”

A hit is precisely what LVMH is banking on — and needs.

But Rihanna — who will reportedly be hands-on in the development and marketing of Fenty — possesses the type of universal recognition that perfectly positions her to lure a wide range of buyers, from wealthy, First World millennials to the developing world’s new middle classes, who are eager to emulate her style.

Depending on its price point, the makeup line, which will be sold at LVMH-owned Sephora, “could serve as a sort of ‘first step’ for buyers” into the world of luxe products offered by companies like LVMH, explains Luca Solca, chief luxury goods analyst at Exane BNP Paribas. This is particularly true for women of color, whom Rihanna has courted with her uncanny ability to blend personal style with global tastes.

It simultaneously provided Guo Pei with instant exposure to the millions of black women — both in the Americas and across Africa — who worship Rihanna’s every move.

And remember all those magazine covers? From Vogue to Elle to Harper’s Bazaar, each was among the title’s best sellers in 2015 — besting Caucasian megastar rivals like Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss.

“There are stars like Selena Gomez who also have this kind of appeal, but they don’t have Rihanna’s chart success,” Halperin observes. “Rihanna has become [the] sort of icon for whom beauty and fashion now go hand-in-hand with her music.”

I never really realized that "Never Ending" is about smoking and losing yourself because of it. Now it makes sense. And I wish we could hear her perform it live.

What happened to KIB?

I don't think so but I guess it a matter of interpretation.

I think it's about love. Being lost in it, the drug and dream is a metaphor for how love can cause a euphoria like drugs it takes you places emotionally.
So she's conflicted

I listened to an interview last night with the writer Chad Sabo. He said he never really smoked but he wrote the song after he started smoking heavy stuff in California. And he said he wrote about the feeling of losing himself and being in an outer state of mind after smoking.

The "ghost in the mirror" and "I can't feel my body now" parts make a lot of sense with that explanation.

Does Rih even have a chance of winning a Grammy next year, 25, Lemonade and Drake will take everything especially 25 and Lemonade, critics love them more than Rihanna and they already snubbed rih before with Rated R and pre-anti singles (+ Diamonds and some of her other big hits)

[WeFoundWill]

Yeah, he has also left annotations on genius.com, both on the inspiration and then some back story.
