So is anyone else up for Rihanna and Def Jam to be shady, and instead of an EP, releasing not one, but
two rereleases?
Basically, since Rihanna seems set on the "same era, new music" thing, why not ensure Loud to be her best selling album, and one of the best selling albums in recent times? Since an EP will chart separately in the US, and therefore sales won't be combined, why not do a rerelease this Holiday season?
LoudR - released Nov 2011, include 4 new songs to carry out through Spring 2012.
Loud(est) - 2nd rerelease, released in Spring/Summer 2012, include 4 new songs, coincide with Battleship release
Yes, it's a bit shady, and may be a little desperate...but why not? There's no rules against having 2 rereleases, correct? Doing so will guarantee Loud to sell at least 3 mill in the US, and I'm sure push it to at least 8 million worldwide.
