generic party bubble gum pop songs don't sell albums
But a generic party song will?
No one was interested in Cheers on iTunes in LOUD's opening week. I don't doubt that it would be a big hit because it has the potential but I just don't think it will sell more albums than S & M would...
Forget the rerelease: Just release 7 singles from Loud
1. Only Girl
2. What's My Name
3. Cheers (Late December/Early January)
4. S & M (May)
5. California King Bed (August)
6. Fading (November)
7. Raining Men (January to Febuary 2012)
This will give Rihanna plenty of time to work on her 6th album and Loud should have gone 2x Platinum or more in the U.S. by then and sell 4-6 million worldwide!
