TIWYCF on the deluxe deluxe version of ANTI I don't know about? Must be a secret Tidal exclusive...

Sad fact is that TIWYCF could of went #1 with a little more effort on either Calvin or Rih's part...

I will say ANTI songwise is better than Rated R, but Rated R's image and video's put it over the top for me as her best album.

1. Rated R
2. ANTI
3. Unapologetic
4. Good Girl Gone Bad/Reloaded
5. A Girl Like Me
6. LOUD
7. Talk That Talk
8. Music Of The Sun

LOUD for me has aged the worst out of all her albums with "Only Girl", "WMN", and "Man Down" being the bright spots on that album. Talk That Talk is simply a lazy album...2 really great songs "WFL" and WHYB" and "Rock Me Out".
Dumbest thing Rih ever did career wise was not extending the Loud era with WFL and WHYB as singles on a re-release...LOUD'S sales numbers would of been much greater in consequence since those were the 2 songs that basically sold "Talk That Talk".

AGLM is a grower...it gets better over time, actually without the Reloaded part of GGGB I would have AGLM above it at #4.

Why not use "Love On The Brain" or "Same Ole Mistakes"? Rih's team should of demanded it...P.R.O.M.O, its like her team has never heard of the term.

Somebody needs to tweet her and her team the definition of "promotion"...I get super annoyed when easy promotional opportunities get squandered...and it's not like Rih as to take the time to do anything herself...

50SOG is going to make bank, where is the logic?

It's fake. Just some user on YouTube making "fifty shades" versions of songs.

Needed Me is blocked again.

Diamonds - 928,878,572views on VEVO, 1B next year

To think that NM would probably be @ +300M views right now if it wasn't blocked in the first place, and Work would have over a billion views, and would be the most watched video of the year.

Oh okay, because the whole thing seemed messy to me.
Changing the name of the song and then having someone unknown cover it.

Posting this from another thread because this thread is dying and I want your thoughts.

And my point is that at those points, especially Unapologetic, it was noticeable, just not as fully-formed.. To my ears, ANTI is a fully-formed/perfected representation of the ideas she was dabbling in on Unapologetic. Unapologetic wasn't as sharply focused but it was the beginning (or, continuation, seeing as Rated R is where it really started) of the moody, downtempo vibe mixed with the confessional lyrics.

Phresh Out The Runway, for example, is a sonic precursor to Woo.
Get It Over With paved the way for James Joint and Never Ending.
Close To You carries on where Stay left off.
Kiss It Better is kin to Diamonds + Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary.
Likewise Lov7 song to Needed Me and Yeah I Said It.

Do you agrih?

I stand firmly to the fact that Rihanna outdoes herself everytime (bar Loud) which is why my album ranking is as follows:

R8 > R7 >>> R6 = R4 >>> R5 > R3 >>>> R2 = R1

Unapologetic is very underrated. It is as complete as Anti. Anti only edges it by an inch. I have a hard time deciding between TTT and Rated R (both has two of my all time fave Rih songs, Do Ya Thang and Fire Bomb), they're interchangeable for me.
