No it wasn't. It's a ****** song with a ****** video and a ****** career move. It was a flop especially by her standards.

I just think Hard would have done better if it was the first single tho...

Rihanna's only good album is Loud. The only good song she has so far that isn't on that album is WFL. Everything else she has been SINGING is just dire piece of audio ****.

Russian Roulette was a good transition from Disturbia/Rehab? but Cold Case Love shoulda been the lead. Her best ballad and perfect song for her situation at the time.

It must suck to have such awful taste in music

Of all of ICONS album, LOUD is NOT her best. Like, what the hell? Its full of fillers.

Mine is too boring to be a legitimate hit
Her vocals are so tedious, Drake's verse is the redeeming part of the song

'Mine' is amazing!
I thought it sucked at first but it really does grow on you MAJORLY.

Flopped R did NOT sound like RR at all. Not even in the slightest bit. Rude Boy doesn't even fit the whole theme of the album. Do you guys ever listen to the lyrics? It's basically begging CB to punch her ugly ****ing face again. It's a pathetic attempt to have at least one hit record to save the pathetic sales, because they all knew it would flop. No one is here for pop girls being all personal unless you're an established artist. Rihanna is not an artist. Not even Gaga is, although she has more creds I suppose.

Also, Rude Boy is horrible. What's My Name? is that sound done good.

Hey Brother is terrible and it sounds just like Wake Me Up! but it's nowhere nearly as good.

Hey Brother! Do you still believe in one another?
Hey Sister! Do you still believe in love? I wonder

My taste is more than you will ever get out of music in your entire disposable life. You stan for recycled pop garbage and ONLY stan for that bish. Go figure.

Wake Me Up was the terrible one

I really do love Hey Brother, maybe you haven't watched the video? Its so much better in that context.

I agree Cold Case Love is great but I don't think it would've worked as a lead tbh
She didn't even make it a single though which is strange, choosing Te Amo & Rockstar 101 over CCL?

She's always been a singles artist there (the two eras she had hit singles there). And lol, her tour tickets are so cheap in Germany; one or two sold-out arenas in a country of 80 million+ is not an accomplishment.

Yes it is. It's the whole Rihanna persona done well. She was the perfect product for that album and it worked with the theme, lyrics, sound, producers, everything.

You guys all act like these poptards actually have something to do with the creating of these albums ****ing idiots.

I forgot how Where Have You Been went and decided to listen to it for the first time since like 2012 and I've only just realised how awful it is And yet I have only just realised how good Watch N Learn is.

Watch N Learn, Birthday Cake (Remix), We Found Love and Drunk in Love are the only passable songs from that album. I don't know how to feel about Red Lipstick, Cockiness and Fool in Love though.

I like Te Amo. Rockstar 101 was so pointless lol. Wait Your Turn is what should have replaced that. CCL, Wait Your Turn, Hard, Rude Boy, Te Amo >>
