Thank for ignoring the actual purpose of my argument. I can't honestly say I'm surprised.

Anyways, please check your facts:

http://www.billboard.com/#/album/beyonce/b-day/791335

Here, you can use the Billboard visualizer to see the album's chart run -- and the fact that it was seriously underperforming until "Irreplaceable" came along to save it.

No check your ****ing facts.... Irreplaceable didnt come out until December 5th 2006. The album has already sold over 2 million in the US alone and the RIAA will show you that, and more than 4.5-5 million worldwide. There was no save because one was not needed at all, there was a boost because Beyonce is a bad bitch.

Good day.

Wait a second... Irreplaceable was released just 3 months after B'Day so are you telling me that B'Day had sold five million in those initial 3 months and has sold just one million since?

Why are people saying "Only Girl" is generic though? It sounds fresh, especially for the U.S. market.

It isn't.

"Who's That Chick" is though.

I accept that every major star is going to have disappointments in their career, but with regard Rihanna she fell so quickly after she rose. In order to be successful an artist must have their own fanbase, but they must also appeal to the general public. Rihanna used to be very good at that, but she appears to have lost her spark slightly. She needs to broaden her appeal.

Ch. . .Was this supposed to make sense?


"but with regard Rihanna she fell so quickly after she rose"

CH. .She's BEEN rising since 2005. . .Or do you Not realize that 2009 is 4 years after her debut??

I'm so tired of folks acting as if ONE era affects somebody's entire career. Using the Britney example, People can easily say she lost her spark considering Blackout. .And theres Some that are even saying that about her NOW in general [Cue Gaga stans].


"In order to be successful an artist must have their own fanbase"

So 1 million copies in the US =/= Successful?

Really now, Gorl??

You tried but Trey Songz and Lil Wayne say no.

The new music she has been showing us is so generic it's not even funny, catchy and well done but generic.

She better take her foot out of her mouth.

Exactly, this bitch is about 9 months late with that quote. She should have said it before rated r got released.

Rude Boy was just as successful as her songs from GGGB. Sit.

People still discussing this Don't you have lives?

The gaGa stans are gonna come up in here saying that rihanna is putting her foot in her mouth when she was just saying that she doesnt want to make music that gaGa and the other girls can just easily do. You guys act like GaGa is some god that she can do no wrong in your eyes. Deal with it. Most of her music is generic. Is she going to use the "Im here for the Gays" story all of her damn career? Stop being so sensitive and taking an innocent statement and using it to cause drama. Im sure the girls mentioned understand that there was no harm needed. Stop making a big deal of nothing.

And for the Bey stans, yes we know Beyonce is a big album seller and have 16 Grammys.. you don need to remind us we get it. To the rihanna stans stop the comparisons its silly and tired.

Quit acting like Rihanna's music isn't generic as well, because it is.

Rihanna stans are the only stans claiming that their fave doesn't make generic music.

No Gaga fans said that here.

You guys are the ones who keep insisting.

Maybe you're on to something?

Who said Rihanna doesn't make generic music?
Pop = Generic. AND DON'T ACT LIKE IT'S NOT. Ofcourse, one song may have something to specialize it over the other, but it doesn't mean it's unique.

Although Rated R is Rihanna's most not-generic (What's the word for this) effort to date. But then again, you will not agree but who cares.
