"Dynamite" sucks ass  IDK why that song was so huge, it's one of the most generic, it has nothing special  unlike "Tik Tok" & "Just Dance" who were so fly!!!
When we drink, we do it right, omg! Like A G6 it's just good!

I love the girl's part, she sounds kind of flat but it actually works in her favor on this song - like she's some disaffected club girl who's too hot to really care.

I totally agree, it's generic but it has something extra to make it stand out from the crowd. I really like the song, it will probably be number 1 and it looks like Rihanna won't be number 1 after all. OG is one of my favourite Rihanna songs, of course it is an Inna rip-off, but it definitely works. Considering her stans talked the song up so much I'm sure they'll be disappointed about its chart run thus far. We'll see what will happen.

the video hasn't been released yet and no promo has started so lets not talk to early. to be really honest, Only Girl is my FAVORITE RIHANNA SONG OF ALL TIME.

I don't believe any of us saw Like a G6 coming. I certainly didn't. Now it looks like the next #1 on the Hot 100.
Only Girl is nowhere near done. This is only it's third week of official release, & to my understanding it is increasing again.

I'm not sure but wasn't he the one that said a while ago that OG was going to flop just because it was climbing slow?
OG is not done, It has a lot of potential and I'm rooting for it, the song it's amazing (plus the video hasn't been released)

That's nice.
I never said that OG was done, but it has not had the impact that people were expecting it to have. I know the video is coming but they have not had all that much impact on the US charts this year as a whole. Her airplay is increasing rapidly, sales should not be declining. She has some major competition now if she is to reach the top spot.

Only Girls is GREAT but in general, it is far from Rihanna's greatest singles...
BTW, When will "Whip My Hair" be released???

"Like A G6" is just a great ****ing party song. It's also very excessively addicting / appealing. When I discovered it on Youtube a couple months ago, I honestly didn't think it would be where it is now, but I'm glad. 
As far as Rihanna, yeah the video is coming but if the song has no impact now, the video won't do much besides bump it's sales a tad, IMO. #3 will be it's peak. "Like A G6" will hopefully get a week or two at #1, then BEP will takeover.

I also think OG has peaked, she may have had more luck had they stalled the release by a week or two but I doubt that would have made much of a difference. The fact that Rihanna couldn't sell enough on her name alone to top the Hot 100 proves the point that you and a few other members made before - she does not have a strong fanbase.

The song debuted at #1 I thought you hated the fact that BH100 is radio-based, and that Digital sales are all what matters.
Rihanna doesn't have a strong fanbase, why would she? She changed style literally every album, while most of the artists out there stick to mostly on style.

I do hate the fact that the Hot 100 incorporates airplay into its chart formula, but I am quite aware of the fact that you like that they do. Digital sales should be all that matters, but unfortunately that is not the case so I accept the Hot 100 flaws and all. If a song is strong enough then it will top the chart regardless of whether or not airplay places it at a disadvantage. A large portion of Artists change their sound to adapt to what it popular, but that doesn't mean they can't bring their fans with them whilst they experiment and explore new genres. Rihanna received a lot of hype over the summer, LTWYL was a huge hit, it's just a shame she couldn't keep hold of the momentum she had.

Rihanna hasn't changed her style so drastically for this to even be an excuse. Her fanbase is weak because she didn't take time to strengthen it. Def Jam pushed her along the hits train, but didn't build her name. She also doesn't really have any outstanding qualities for one to want to look out for.
EDIT: It's also interesting her fans bring this up, but boast about how much she adapts to the Hip-Hop collaborations she does, and how strong her fanbase support those. That's obviously invalid, and she's just the hook girl on those songs.
