OVERSATURATION.


People are going to get tired of hearing this bitch. Lord knows I love her, but honestly -- she is going to suspend herself from radio.

Remember rumors that "Who's That Chick" wasn't going to get played because Rihanna already has too many songs on the radio?



Cheers could barely peak without being shoved out the door.

Most of the public probably got a break from her during the Rated R era anyways. It sold a milli and the only break-out hit was Rude Boy.

She didn't release an album in 2008? Sounds like she got lazy.

She re-released GGGB in 2008. The re release included Disturbia & Take A Bow.

Thats what she should be doing with Loud tbh.

The Fame Monster was not a Studio Album, it was a re-release.

Let's not be retarded. The Fame Monster, however you define it, was a new body of work. GaGa didn't just jump from The Fame to Born This Way. And all those new worldwide sales were generated from TFM. But this is about Rihanna, so I'm sorry. Just had to jump in.

Well she can't keep touring off the same albums. New album -> new tour-> new $$

But releasing so many albums, just to hop on a tour half a year later - then release a new album 6 months after that, whilst still on the previous album's tour (which she's done twice now) = $$$ that needs to be spent too. And while her tour grosses are nice, they aren't banking like Britney, GaGa, Madonna, etc.

You really think Rihanna is involved in enough in her music to show personal growth. She doesn't have the time to do such a thing. She's record two albums on two, it's impossible for her to make significant contributions to her music. Also, it's easy for her to say she likes making music when the most she has to do is record it.

I honestly don't understand people thinking Rihanna makes some type of huge contributions to the process as far as putting/recording an album together. She just released Cheers not too long ago and now she's getting ready to release the 1st single from her next album in 2 days. Her team compiled the hottest producers of the moment to find and make her the hottest tracks. The most she did is go into the studio and lay down her vocals. It's no different from Rico Love saying he's already working on Kelly's next album and doing records that she can record as soon she is done with Here I Am.

More power to Rihanna though. She's hasn't really had any huge backlash even with all of the quick releases.

The trolls need to sit down, Rihanna isn't going anywhere so get used to it

Which happened after a two year break between release of GGGB and Rated R. She did a GGGB rerelease but that wasn't too bad. She had time in between those two albums to surround herself with a team that helped created something that was different for her. The era was something completely opposite of Rihanna's previous work.

Not factual.

She spent a max of 5 months on the album. Did not begin working on it until after the incident.

Bottom line, Loud was released a year after Rated R to make up for RR not being as successful as it should've been. This upcoming album will be released soon to capitalize on her huge star power that Loud has given her.

We've seen what happens when artists wait around. Yes, some manage to come back stronger then ever, but are they among the majority? Certainly not. Why risk it?

[Rigalo]

And nobody in here is psychic, so let's not with the "people will get tired of her" because there is zero evidence supporting that and a whole lotta evidence supporting that the public doesn't care how much music she is gonna release.

[thegmangrant]

I agree with TheOnlyOne. Why is everyone so desperate for Rihanna to take a break? She doesn't want to.

You are so see-through.

Bitches only want her to take a break so she won't come for their fave's records and acheivements.

Is not taking a break affecting the quality of her music? No. Exhibit A, Rated R. Exhibit B, Only ****ing Girl.

Is not taking a break affecting her happiness? No. She clearly enjoys making music as she's stated several times on her twitter.


So I guess the real underlying question here, is why you so desperately want her to take a break? You worried?

she probably will break my faves records. I dont care about that anymore. im just saying that she needs to take a break because it feels like she moving to fast . just my opinion

[CaptainMusic]

I agree, i love rihanna as well, but i wish she would just take a break, i'm always here for new music but i'm kinda getting tired of her as well. I'm not as anticipated and eager for this new era as i should be.

Actually it was an 8 track EP. Released in late 2009. Born This Way was only a year and a half later. Let's not.

Whatever it was, it was re bundled with The Fame & thats what the majority of the General Public bought.
Do I need to bring up the sales of the EP in comparison to the Deluxe version of TF

People are going to start taking her for granted. Not to mention, it devaules her lead singles.

You know how there was SO much hype for Britney/GaGa/Beyonce's lead singles? Well Rihanna will never have the comeback hype because she never leaves.

She's not leaving anyone THIRSTY for new music........there can be too much of a good thing. In this instance, Rihanna is feeding us too much, we are getting fatter and fatter and pretty soon - we wont want anymore.

[Electronica]

Loud was needed obviously cause of the LGOE catastrophe & the success of Rude Boy.
But yes this new album is very unnecessary.

5 albums. Like damn. And none of the albums are 'invisible' albums.

Hardly. People were aware of "Hard" and "Rude Boy". It was also the new Rihanna album, one actually released with some time after the last one. She was promoting with interviews about Chris, performing, etc.

[foxaylove]

It seems like every month there is a Rihanna stan denouncing their stanship, could the overexposure attribute to that?

The only thing that concerns me are the overlapping of her tours. She was on the LGOE tour during the LOUD era

Except yes. I noticed you used the entire Rated R album for exhibit A, and only used one song for exhibit B. Several Rihanna fans have said that Loud is either a lame or disappointing album.

[FAN]

I feel if she takes a big break no one will care about her after, no matter how many hit albums and singles she has. She is extremly smart. Why not take a break after her 10th album in 2015/2016? Not even a joke, I hope she does that.

Rihanna's new music is so close together, that the public will be buying Loud only to find out that 'We Found Love' is from a new CD.



That's why the bitch has such longevity on the charts with her old CDs, because people always by the last one thinking her new material is on her current work.

You are a goddamn liar.

In this thread, you were just complaining about her label wanting to come for Mariah's record.

Who do you think you're fooling?
