um rated r did WELL not good compared to GGGB but it sold 3 million albums thats better that selling 0.....also her singles had great chart succes expecially.....everysong she released was a hit somehere in some country.....rated r was a healing album and she needed to do it to get over what she been thru rated r was a masterpiece the ballads were amazing on this album and the songs were catchy and dark...i loved it and still do and always will...obviously rihanna is opening a new chapter in her life and dont wanna be stuck in the past.....i dont think rihanna will return to FULL POP there will always be a darkness or bitchiness to rihanna's upcoming albums....rated r allowed her to grow as and artisit and figure out what she really wanted....her live performance dramatically improved this era.....she improved in all areas......its time to move on...
A marriage of gggb and rated r would get rihanna on the road to becoming a legend.....im talking over 10 million albums....just epic im soo excited i cant wait for the first single!
Rihanna will come hard as usual, who cares if Rated R is 50k away from 1 million? Most days albums barely pass that mark, and for an album that struggled that is some good damn sales IMO
Def Pen Radio has exclusively learned the lead single from Rihanna‘s yet to be titled album will be called Only Girl. The record is a dance record, “Looks like no more dark music, back to Umbrella Rihanna” from our source who heard the dance track. There is no set date for when Only Girl will be released, but information on Rihanna’s new album is coming in rapidly here to us at Def Pen Radio, stay tuned for updates.
You act like the album hasn't gotten gold yet..Its @ 960-80k in the US..eventually it will be Platinum in no time. 
Than you take that up with the Rihanna stans who say its not..
