Rihanna fans do not run Def Jam and are not experienced industry experts. Fire Bomb would be the worst choice (after The last song), to go with right now due to their being more commercial and mainstream songs that would appeal to broader audiences and consistently sell the album. Photographs is highly commercial, as well as Te Amo (the highest unreleased song from Rated R on itunes across Europe and South America). Also, Rockstar 101 has over 20 spins on radio daily, and Photographs has 30-35 on average, and Fire Bomb has only been spinned once. Its obvious that the fans favorite choice is wrong.

This.
Fire Bomb is a GREAT album track and I've tried picturing it as a single and the only thing I see is it bombing on radio and not working great; I can't see her performing this song, aswell.

PHOTOGRAPHS while it has potential may only resonate with a certain group of people, and considering its gonna be summer which we know the airwaves will be flooded with uptempos, why should Rihanna send out such a mellow song? ROCKSTAR101 is the song with the biggest potential at keeping this album afloat once Summer hits.

I wouldn't even mind if they sent Photographs (WW) and Rockstar101 (US), then switch to Te Amo then Rih-Release.

Rockstar 101 is dark and has Guitar elements, and we all know that Rihanna's dark songs don't gain much success in the US.

LMAO. I knew he was only fronting. Sean G is a lot of talk too. He was so excited about having the first single from Chris Brown (then Wall-to-Wall flopped) and it was blamed on the label.

Have you listened to the lyrics of Rockstar 101? She's not weeping over the beat about a past lover and about how much she misses him. (That would be Photographs).

On Rockstar 101, she don't give a f%$k she's talking about wilding out and living life in the night ... which exactly what SUMMER is about. Hello! How old are you people on this board? I'm 17. I wanna party as soon as that song comes on in my car to the club, or I'm at the club... I'm taking every one the floor.

Delecious, do you have some inside info?

Compare Rude Boy with Rockstar 101. It's obvious. She also swears in the song, and that's not too good for the Audience and especially for Airplay.

I love that song she doesn't know what she has on her hands with a song like that. It's definitely the most audience friendly song and would work great with Pop/R&B lovers. I wouldn't even mind some controversy with the video ..they would be STUPID if this isn't a single at some point. Speaking of stupid, I'm holding it to my books... I LOVE STUPID IN LOVE!

Are you seriously telling me you've never heard of a Radio Edit?

I know that Fire Bomb probably wouldn't be a huge hit (Atleast in the US) but it being a single would make me and obviously lots of fans Happy. I mean, look at If U Seek Amy, the fans voted for the song to be a single even though it didn't do that well. Atleast her fans were satisfied.
Ke$ha fans want Take It Off.
Lady Gaga fans want Monster.
Rihanan fans want Fire Bomb.
Will they ever give us the satisfaction?

Trust me, fans would be even happier if they got a hit single over their "favorite". There are some fan-favorites that are simply just not meant to be singles.

Doesn't really matter. Songs that get censored noticeably on the Radio get annoying with the time (Ex. Blah Blah Blah)

[Chemist]

Te amo needs to be released, is amazing

[Goon#dock]

Which Rihanna song has a cuss word??

[Jake.]

Fire Bomb is not single worthy.

Rockstar or Photographs are def. the most worthy, with Rockstar being the summer smash.
