Because Rih throughout her career has already flopped several times. Her first albums were non events, Rated R happened and most of her albums usually have at least one flop single.
Whereas Gaga was on some God tier level, and had everyone perched for a moment of weakness.
Maybe if the album came out we would know whether it was floppin or not, but you cannot be flopping without an album like seriously...
Her last album Una sold 3.5m so until r8 is released her last era was a smash
You know her passion for music has died. She doesn't care at all. At LEAST GAGA cared for her craft and FANS.
The Rihanna reign has finally come to an end but it's all because she CHOSE it
She's been in the game for a decade. If she falls off now, she still had a decade with 13 #1 hits and decent touring/album stats. And it's not like this means she can't rebound.
If the album sucks and she flops, it's just a "maybe next time" thing at this point.
Because the navy aren't success stans, we're quality stans
I think it also helps that we know the singles aren't doing that well due to Rihanna herself and the label not because this is all she is capable of (Tidal, not the most GP friendly singles, messy release schedules)
