The last one?

The year before the surprise release dropped, there was Bow Down / I Been On, Grown Woman, Standing In The Sun, and Rise Up. All of which failed to really do anything, nor does anyone really remember them in general. And save me the "they weren't singles" bullsh*t. Beyonce did almost just as much promoting for those songs as Rihanna has for any of her released songs this year.

Which one of those were the 3 singles

I agree with the point about Kanye. Originally he was at the helm of the project, late last year. Then they released FFS the presumed first single. Then AO2 for the All Star game. I think somewhere after that the project probably shifted but wasn't dead so they pushed BBHMM. I don't think they're scrambling but when someone involved in the project shifts gears (Kanye who's probably now more focused on his own album 8 months later), things need to be reworked.

I have faith she'll do a November release though. If she can make TTT in like 3 weeks, she can salvage this project and release it in 3 months.

She's not feeling the pressure to finish it by her label this time tho, I'm honestly starting to believe she doesn't really care for R8 or her music enough to really finish her album because that's how artists are supposed to carry out "an era". I think she just releases whenever/whatever she likes ATM and calls it a single without a proper plan or a schedule.

And the Beyoncé comparisons are total ********, none of the songs Beyoncé "released" were actually pushed to radio, have music videos before the album or were called singles by her. GW and SOTS was part of commercials and we didn't even have the full versions for so long, don't even get me started on Bow Down. The situations are in no way similar, let's not fool ourselves that Rih is pulling a Beyoncé cause it's already impossible to do so. She's just too busy smoking weed.

When's the last time a major artist released 3 singles that all peaked before any kind of album release date or title existed?

I don't know, but Nicki released like 4 buzz singles & 4 official singles before the album dropped. Now that's way worse.

Why are you talking about The Pinkprint in the R8 thread?

[PoisonPill]

This is what we were hearing two years ago before BEYONCE. I would expect a Q4 release.

Any thread involving R8 pisses me off tbh. It's starting to trigger me.

Wow i feel sorry for you,i hope Rih will release good album by the end of the year.

There was never an #R8 so.....

[BGKC]

I mean she's been releasing albums around the holidays for the past 4 or whatever so eras, no? Maybe she's keeping that a trend.
