Mid-April send it to radio with a performance on Idol around the same time. They could always send it to AC/HAC now since they're late as hell.

Maybe you're right!!!

She needs to take a break...

IKR. But this time I don't blame them because it would be stupid to not utilize Idol while you can. Rih should also go on Dancing with the Stars for a CKB slay-session.

On top of all, yes she does. I don't think she's overexposed yet, maybe that's just me but she can release her 6th late this year if she wanted to and it will do well but yeah she needs a break.

No Umbrella>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I'm afraid she'll never top it IMO and Rihanna isn't gonna take a break. It's not her thing.

Yes she definitely needs a break....3rd or 4th Quarter '12 is when her next album should be released IMO

[Deemy]

She will break in 2012 and you hos are gonna miss her. The Loud Tour will end in like May 2012 just before she starts to promote her new movie. Then after that she will have a 6 month off before award season so she can work on her new album then. Release the first single first quarter 2013 and album in the second quarter. I know Rihanna works fast so spending at. Most 8 months to finish an album is nothing for her.

MEDIABASE:

Man Down: 2.593 AI
California King Bed: (-)

^Man Down is #24 in one of the biggest Urban radios in New York.

I cant believe that MD has almost 3M AI and its not even thought as a single.... (Rockstar101 never got more than 1.4M AI)...

I really think Man Down is going to be one of Rihanna's biggest hits

10s are so excited for Rihanna..Can't wait for more music

MD is too much of a risk.

an album that has already sold 4.000.000 copies worldwide can handle a risk. and summer is the perfect timing for it too
