Bad Romance grew on me ONLY after the video, I though the song sucked when it leaked, but after the brilliant video I realize how brilliant was the song

Same here. And IDK why I hated it. The video really opened my eyes. It's a great ****ing song.

Ok, you don't have to be pressed about it. Anyways, if you are using TF/TFM you have to generalize the data, not just using the two highest selling songs. so when she can't sell 2m+ singels on 1 single, then COMPARED to TF/TFM it's dire

Really? The numbers aren't terrible for the era's standards, but comparing to what she came from it's a mess. 5 million sold is the total of one song for some artists.

I can count with my hands the artists with 5M selling singles....

And Rihanna has not sold only 5M singles.... She has sold almost 35M singles only in the US so far... and around 70M worldwide....

Hopefully the OG video will open up your eyes and make you love the song

I know. That's why I said some.

And we're clearly talking about the 5 million+ total from the entire Rated R era, not her career.

I remember you disliking it when the song premiered and then you had it in your avie when the video came out. A lot of people didn't like it at first Carcal22 didn't like it and thought it would flop, she was always good at predicting radio so luckily she was wrong.

Well, when you take the Rated R sales into account it's really not that surprising that OG has stalled. They set their expectations too high, they celebrated it as a #1 before it happened.

Nah. "Bad Romance" is an epic Pop song, takes it there, with a visually thrilling video. "Only Girl" is too typical. My faults with it are going to stay no matter what. Plus, I doubt the video will be that good.

Oh my. I love Marina but for whatever reason she doesn't appeal to the buying public. I'm hoping that some recognition at the BRIT awards next year will give her a sales boost.

Well... for me it was more than enough those +5Milions and thats why I shared it. I dont think this album was intended to be GGGB2 and thats why it didnt sell the same way.....

Anyway... Rated R only had 4 singles in the US and GGGB had 8 singles.... I think that if they would have released Photographs or Stupid in love as singles we could be talking about +8Million singles sold.

RR is not the type of album that sells (released from a Pop artist)

[Disco]

I don't understand how House music is typical lol. When it premiered 3 weeks ago, people were saying OG would flop because it's too much of a House/Dance track and US radio wouldn't support it. Now it's too typical and sounds like everything else on the radio...

I'm not "people". I've always found it fairly boring, typical, and goes nowhere. Similar to "Not Myself Tonight". And I hate how you emphasize it being a House song. I mean there are clearly influences of House, but it's just another dance-pop song to me.

But clearly it is House...you can't fist pump to many other songs on the radio. In Jersey we understand this haha
