DEAD at a thread about such an idiotic 'article' already having 16 pages.
Anyone who says a singer who just had her most recent single debuting at #1 in the Hot 100 and the 5th biggest female tour EVER (highest from 2009) is 'not secure' or in 'danger' is just plain stupid.
But hey, they've been saying that since 1999, so it's no big.
By the way, I love how you Rihanna stans move her sales from: 1) Close to 3 million, 2) 2.5 million, 2) 2.1 million. Looks like you haven't lot haven't even got a bloody clue! I've given you logic, which is more than what you guys have presented to me.
Rihanna is just a fading former 'It' girl. Like I said, I'd be frustrated, mad, sad AND delusional too if I was stanning for her.
NOPE. Wrong again. She only sold 1.3 mil since February and I've followed her sales since. She only managed 500k plus since. 1.8 million sold in total. Accept it and move on. She's just not in demand anymore. BYEEEEEE!!!!!
No it isn't. Everything Ciara has released is commercial. It's not about the material.
if somebody goes against what is normally commercial
especially if there's a risk of alienating some of your fans from
the popular genre then of course it's not really a commercial era...
you just always seem to have a problem with anything i say and
want to pick on me

anybody who thinks platinum is flop is just a hater
some people say tne same about "the evolution" era too even
though it went platinum too....
GGGB: 8-10 mill sold WW -----------------------------------------------> RR 1.8 mill sold WW.
Hmmmmm. Nope. Sorry. Not here to stay. With all the public sympathy she had after Chris Brown beat her up, you'd expect more. Hell, I'm even sure her label expected her to be one of the biggest sellers out of all the other girls. But in terms of sales, she's coming in last!!!
Fading former it girl. Flash in the pan. Fluke. Call it whatever. She's fading.

AH!!!!!!
Someone ban this bitch.
GGGB sold over 7 mill WW. Rated R sold over 2 mill.
She just came out of an almost all sold out Europe tour.
Your just embarassing yourself.
The fact that I just pulled out Mediatraffics numbers from every week since she came out, and you still cant except that she sold over 2 mill is sad.
I think if she went back to a more feminine dance-pop style a la AGLM/GGGB she'd be more popular again, but there should be a short break between Rated R and the next album.
One of RiRi's best unreleased/unfinished tracks:
(And you see the feedback for that video? The views, comments, likes? And this thing only has the chorus! )

You need to stop playing the victim, it's really tiresome.
Do you think I don't understand where you're getting "not commercial" from? Of course I do. But I just think you're wrong. TE is hardly a shocking departure from Goodies. If anything she was just "evolving" with trends in hip-hop/R&B. It was more mature, but that doesn't mean it was less marketable. NO there was not a "Goodies"-sized smash on it, but there was enough meat for it to sell respectably in and out of the US. It was no commercial failure, just a modest dip. She could have very easily recovered and had another massive era like her debut, but it was obviously Fantasy Ride that screwed her career.
She didn't have to be in the position to "gain her urban fanbase back" today. From the start Ciara was a POP sensation, a clear crossover. It's a perfect storm of changing tastes in pop, a couple years of bad management and a simple lack of interest that has put Ciara on the back burner.
Britney doesn't have the drive to sustain a career anymore
Xtina is done. she can't connect with the public
Lady gaga is passionate, she'll be here for at least 10 years
Keisha is a nobody, ill give her one more album
Beyonce is here to stay. there's no stopping this one
Rihanna is on her way out
Ciara who?
best post in this thread
and i agree with efg
rihanna is a fading former it girl
AH!!!!!!

I love how you've changed your argument from RR selling 2.5 million to only selling 2.1 million.
I am counting from February, when worldwidealbums.net ended, till now. Though wwalbums.net was more accurate, since I had no other alternative I had to take some of the figures from the uwc. Overall? 1.8 million sold.
How embarrassing. Couldn't even sell half of what she did with her last record. No excuses too because she worked with some of the greatest producers, had immense hype, intense promo and public sympathy.
Fading. The only thing you guys have to hold on to is that one #1 song. Never mind the fact that her album and tour have bombed.

:hey****you:
it doesn't matter if rihanna isn't the top selling person
right now because she's still one of the biggest so
you don't even make any sense talking.....
people here are so obsessed about sales
does somebody always have to be #1 in everything for
you to like them?!?! that's super sad if you do because
i like music and if they do well that's just an extra perk...
rihanna is doing fine and so is ciara and i will love them
no matter what because i like their music....the same goes
for ashanti and justin bieber if he was ever to not be popular
anymore

Her tour sold out almost every show in Europe
I AM USING UWC also. She has sold over 2 mill copies so you need to shut up.
The only thing we have to hold on is to what? Her 6th number one song?
Yeah...really fading...

OMG you cannot read. I said that I am COMBINING worldwidealbums.net sales with the past 4 months of UWC. You are only using UWC. Worldwidealbums.net was a lot more accurate than UWC, but since the former web site shut down I had to use info from UWC as an estimate. So, with the combined info, RR has only sold 1.8 million copies till this very day.
IF (and I say IF) RR had sold 2 million. So? It's still horrible. All the other girls are selling more than that.
Her tour was almost sold out in Europe? Wasn't that the same situation with her last tour, but it still bombed overall? She will bomb with this tour too. She won't be doing $100 million like all the other big girls.
So, flop album, tour that will gross not very much. What else do you have? Oh yes. That ONE number 1 song from this era. Pffft. All the other girls have done better.
