But I'm really glad stations are starting to pick it up. I'm going to request the hell out of both songs and hope that other people do that same. I can't wait to hear them on the radio as well. I'm so proud of Rihanna. 
YES!  Finally. I can't at the promo this era. It's amazing. |
I didn't expect Man Down to do much either. It's already bigger than Flopstar and it's just getting started. Same here, I'll be requesting like no other. I refuse to have another Flopstar mess.

That's great that all of the songs she'll be performing on ABDC are charting! It'll be aired throughout the week so hopefully it'll give them a boost.

Yeah, it's honestly a really bad choice for a U.S. single, especially at this time of the year. Don't get me wrong, it's a ****ing amazing song. It will just be so heavily edited and censored. I'm really afraid to hear what the official single version sounds like.  I won't let it flop either, though. Even if it peaks one position higher than "Rockstar 101", I'll be happy. I think it will be pretty successful, though. Rihanna's singles are alot more successful this era, so she could easily get it into the top 10/20.

I agree. I'm so happy that she has all of those songs, new and old, on the chart. Who else keeps 14 songs in the top 1000 on iTunes for this long? I hope it gives them a boost, too. It would be nice if some of her old songs like "Disturbia" and "Umbrella" were discounted to $0.69 for a few days atleast. It would help them sales wise.

Yeah, I get what you mean. It's a risk. Damn, I forgot about the radio edit again. I wonder if they'll bleep out "gun".  That's true. We have way more momentum than we did from just Rude Boy. Rih has been killing radio so hopefully they'll jump aboard, which is exactly what z100 did already.

If only Def Jam were that smart. I'm convinced they don't care about how much the singles sell in the long run. It always just seems like whenever the song hits #1 on the Hot 100 they're done with it. I'd rather take a #1 than a 4x plat single anyway tbh.

If Rihanna ever takes a risk in her career in terms of singles, now is the perfect time. I think "Man Down" will be one of those Rihanna singles that either becomes extremely successful or an extreme flop. They will, they censored it in "Unfaithful". They'll censor all of the gun references ("I just shot a man down" will become "I just ___ a man down", "pull the trigga" will become "pull the ____", etc.), any swear words, and anything else they deem as inappropriate. And I agree! I honestly thought "Rude Boy" would flop so hard, even though it was one of my favorite songs on the album.
I just requested "Man Down" on about 40 radio stations. I just realized that one of the stations (Z107.9) is a local station, so I'm listening in and hoping that they'll play the song soon. I can't wait to hear it on the radio.

I agree, Rihanna could sell SO many more singles that way. While some consider it to be "cheating", I think it's a great business opportunity. And they really do only care about getting a #1. But I'm the same way. Having 10 #1 singles is so much better than having 10 4x platinum singles that missed the #1 spot. Rihanna is kind of the best of both worlds anyway. Her songs always sell really well AND perform well on the charts.

I should probably reintroduce myself seeing as how I was banned before I was even on here for a month.
Hey everyone. I'm here to proudly represent Rihanna and support her in all her future endeavors.
I am loving this era and all her success.
Can't wait for CKB & MD videos!!!

I heard "Man Down" on the radio earlier, since I requested it a trillion times. It sounds so good on the radio, let me tell you. Any doubts I had about it are long gone. It was less censored than I expected, too. The only word in the entire song that they censored was "n*gga". They surprisingly left all of the gun and murder references in the song, which is really good because you actually know what you're listening to. I'm so proud to be a Rihanna stan right now.
I can't at Rihanna having a single in just about every genre within the last year. She's done dancehall (Rude Boy), dubstep (Rockstar 101), latin (Te Amo), hip hop (LTWYL), dance-pop (Only Girl), R&B (What's My Name), electro (S&M), and now rock (CKB) and reggae (Man Down). A true legend in the making.

And thats why we love her. She's giving us a rock ballad and a reggae track for the summer? i mean who else does that?
I need her to play around with Rock more. For some reason I need her to do a Rock/Regga album kind of in the vein of Bob Marley but with a bit of Rihanna. I want some dubstep/trance beats with R&B melodies. if she can give me that on album #6 I will be glad.
I think Loud will get its re release after all next March to coincide with the Battleship movie. if no re release then new album in Fall 2012/Spring 2013.
Since the Loud Tour will come to an end in the Summer of 2012. The Europe Leg is not yet completed and looks likely to end in February.
The Australia/New Zealand Leg will pick up in March and Im sure she wants to go to Asia and/or Africa so I'll say by April the loud Tour will be a DONE DEAL.
The movie premieres may 17th so she's gonna be all over TV shows, radio, red carpet events promoting the movie.
By August I want her in the studio prepping the album of her career.
