This!
Singles are supposed to show the diversity of the album and attract buyers. IF, both MD and CKB did their part, I can see LOUD stabilize at 60-70k again WW.

Guetta originally produced the track for Rihanna's return-to-pop/R&B album, Loud. But when it didn't make the final cut, Guetta decided to release "Who's That Chick" on his own, with the Barbados singer featuring. After just three weeks on the Billboard Dance/Club Play Songs chart, "Chick" is sitting at #3, and at #51 on the Hot 100. And given that the song almost didn't happen, it's an impressive feat.

“‘Who’s That Chick,’ he doesn’t really like that one. I guess it’s too lightweight pop for him.”

It probably didn't make the cut because Matt Kemp hated it

“The ballads on this album are really special. I didn’t want to just put a bunch of ballads on the album, I actually wanted to keep it minimal with slow records.
“But there are really two powerful ballads. One is called ‘Straight Up Beautiful’ and the other one is called ‘California King Bed’ which is … one of my favorite songs on the album. It’s probably going to be the biggest song on the album. It’s talking about being this close to someone yet feeling so far away, like falling out of love.”

We aren't the only ones who were wrong about CKB after all

True. However, Loud only has about 3 real uptempos compared to 8 other songs that don't quite fit in the uptempo range. It's rather disappointing.

Who do you like to see become her husband?
I really wish she would find a man who is light skinned like her or even white and preferably a singer so her kids could have powerhouse vocals, something she never had.
I don't mind Eminem or Adam Levine tbh

Well upbeat songs, not necessarily uptempo. S&M ,WMN?, Cheers, OG, Man Down, Raining Men, are all upbeat songs. So you need songs like fading, CKB, and SKin to balance it all out..
Lord knows why Complicated is on there.

Everyone is.
Nice Ke$ha avatar, by the way. TiK ToK was arguably her best video.

I forgot about Raining Men.
S&M, WMN?, OG, and RM are all obviously uptempos/upbeat. I wouldn't call Cheers uptempo or upbeat, but rather midtempo, while I find Man Down to be more midtempo if not a reggae ballad.
I don't get the hate for Complicated.

We need someone as big as Jay Z before Rihanna can stand tall like Beyonce. For some reasons, I'm seeing Beyonce as the standard that Rihanna needs to work on.
Getting them Eminem stans to buy her albums and share his title as the King of Pop

It's a good song. But it's not up to par with the rest of Loud, that's my opinion on it. It just doesn't fit for me. I don't hate the song though.

It's pretty obvious at this point that Drake has the potential to reach the heights of Jay-Z and I can see Drake and Rihanna becoming quite the power couple. Music has very few, actually. It's odd.
I hate when people hope for Rihanna to follow in Beyonce's footsteps. They are two completely different people and if Rihanna were to follow in Beyonce's footsteps it'd be fake and forced. They are far too different in every retrospect for it to work.

He's cute. And I don't think having a gorgeous mom and a mediocre looking dad is a bad thing. I mean, Rihanna's dad is ugly as hell but her mom is a total beauty, and she turned out to be absolutely stunning. When two beautiful people have kids, their kids usually don't look too great. Case-and-point: Brad and Angelina's biological children.

I agree! I think they have good chemistry, and to Harry, sometimes ugly people can make good looking babies. They got good genes deep down that come out in the kids. and besides, rihanna's good looks can help make the baby amazing.

They'd be absolutely perfect together. Drake is kind of effeminate whereas Rihanna is very masculine. Those two things compliment each other. Also, they both love children as far as I know and could make perfect parents. Drake loves her to death (obviously  ), while Rihanna is the kind that shows her love a bit more quietly. They just compliment each other in every way. 
Drake is a lot like Jay-Z in that they act very tough and like they don't care about anything a relationship has to offer but the sex when that isn't how they are. They're softer people than they put off.

Drake
1) Fugly - ugly kids.
2) Can't sing - no powerhouse kids
3) Rihanna is richer than he is and he is no businessman.
4) He's too soft - he can't handle such a ****in lady.
5) Rihanna gonna end up cheatin' on him.
6) Rihanna tried to work it with him but it didn't happen. She ain't here for him.
