2. Push Up On Me - Summer 2007
3. Hate That I Love You (featuring Ne-Yo) - Fall 2007
4. Don't Stop the Music - Winter 2007/2008
5. Take a Bow - Spring 2008
6. Disturbia - Summer 2008
7. Breakin' Dishes - Fall 2008

And Rated R should have gone like this:
1. Russian Roulette - Fall 2009
2. Hard (featuring Jeezy) - Winter 2009
3. Rude Boy - Spring 2010
4. Photographs (featuring will.i.am) - Summer 2010

1. Umbrella

5.Take A Bow
6. Disturbia
7. Breakin Dishes

RR
1. Hard
2. Russian Roulette
3. Wait Your Turn
4. Rude Boy
5. Firebomb

Going over these two lists, I'm glad to know that everyone is in agreement than under no condition should SUAD or R101 ever been released. My list varies a little though

1. Umbrella - undeniable single, I can't imagine anyone would ever disagree with that choice
2. Don't Stop the Music - another undeniable hit, could've fared better earlier on
3. Breakin' Dishes - another uptempo to keep the momentum going, everyone was dying for this to be released
4. Rehab - I disagree with HTILY being the first ballad released. I think Rehab had much stronger appeal. It still hit Top 20 over a year after the CD came out. It would've smashed bad it been sent out earlier
The rerelease was perfection, TAB and Disturbia should've been released exactly when they were.

1. Wait Your Turn - I do not at all agree with RR being the first single. Everyone was anticipating a hard-hitting, catchy song from Rihanna after the long break. If RR pushed to #9 just based on her name despite few liking it, I imagine this would've as well, if not better. This was also the song used for all the promo before we heard anything, so I think it should've been the lead single.
2. Hard - I think this would've done better without such a controversial single preceding it.
3. Rude Boy - perfect as is
4. Photographs
5. Fire Bomb - a risky fan favorite, but like I've always said, a risky fan fave is the perfect song to end an era. If it would've flopped (which I don't think it would've given this lineup), then oh well, the era's over, but if it would've done well, it could've led to additional songs being released.

1. Only Girl
2. What's My Name
3. S&M
4. California King Bed - NO release of Man Down with it
5. Cheers
Move along to rerelease/EP/whatever.

Hard, then Russian Roulette, then Rude Boy, then Photographs. We could have had 1.5 million instead of 1 that way and 4 or 5 million worldwide instead of 3. Not to mention that we could have had bigger singles.

I hated everything from Rated R when it was released. I didn't appreciate the album until the spring of 2010 and I didn't fall in love with it until very late last summer.

I would've done...

1st - Hard (featuring Young Jeezy) (Fall) - Released at the beginning of October. They released Russian Roulette too late.
2nd - Photographs (featuring will.i.am) (Winter)
3rd - Rude Boy (Spring)

End era.

I think Def Jam did well with GGGB for the most part. I would've made very minor changes.

1st - Umbrella (featuring Jay-Z) (Summer)
2nd - Hate That I Love You (featuring Ne-Yo) (Fall)
3rd - Don't Stop the Music (Winter)
4th - Push Up On Me (Spring)
5th - Disturbia (Summer)
6th - Take a Bow (Fall)
7th- Breakin' Dishes (Winter)

Exactly. I was SO disappointed when it was released.

[Wonda]

I stan for both Shut Up and Drive and Rockstar 101.

Rockstar 101 shoulda been the hype single ala Wait Your Turn, cause that MV was needed in my life, and SUAD wasn't a flop, so it's good. The GGGB should remain untouched except for maybe DJ's stupid decision to not make Breakin' Dishes a single.

Yet it still ***** all over her current album. (Minus Only Legend & Cheers of course) Let's get into that.

Oh i forgot to mention.

Nick Levine of Digital Spy awarded the song five out of five stars, commenting "'Russian Roulette' is a masterful return effort: brave, brilliantly-realised and bizarre enough to distance Rihanna from the pop-R&B pack (and, of course, Lady GaGa). Factor in her most confident vocal yet and only her second songwriting credit on a single and the conclusion is inescapable.

MTV News stated "it retains the same sort of attitude and atmosphere that has made Rihanna such a definitive artist.

Kiii @ Russian Roulette doing something an entire "album" failed to do.

It's definitely one of her most meaningful ballads but her "mindless dance music" is what keeps me coming back for more.

WTC>>>>>half of Loud

The true tea. I like WTC better than probably all but 3-4 songs on Loud.

[clairebear23]

I've already included WTC on the Loud Album. It's the opener for the Loud album on my IPOD. It actually works, because you're asking whos that chick. Flows well into S&M

[clairebear23]

Do you remember this WTC version? A mess...

If y'all think WTC is that good, you must think GGGB is better than Loud. Discuss.

[NYotov]

1. Loud
2. Rated R
3. GGGB

I didn't really listen to Rihanna before Rated R. When that album came out I really loved ALL of the songs. Then she released Loud which I found even more amazing and I became a fan of hers. I still blare "What's My Name" like there's no tomorrow lol

I think Loud's singles are better than GGGB's singles. But I think it's the opposite for the album tracks. I really can't choose an overall fave.

I used to think WTC was absolutely amazing.

Until 6 months ago. I can't listen to it anymore. Each time I listen, the worse the autotune sounds. It's too short.


Thank goodness it wasn't on the CD. Or the first single. I can't at people saying it would've been a better first single than OG back when OG lost the #1 on iTunes.
