She is taking advantage of how successful she is at this moment in time, what is wrong with that? Countless times musicians have been huge, took a 3 year break, come back and then found they could not regain their former success over night and simply became a flop.

I don't give a **** what Prince did but Michael did NOT put out an album every year for hit records, quality and an immense amount of hard work went into creating a solid album, a album with great lyrics that contain substance and he was very hands on with his albums. The same can't be said for Ms. Fenty who needed damn near 40 song writers on her last album, and they're following that same formula for this album. A album made for hit records. Let's not compare Robyn to Michael in that aspect.

Michael produced 4 albums in the span of 3 years.

Prince, yes.
But Michael? No. Michael's albums would last him like 2 & half years. His sister was like that too.
...unless you're talking about Michael's first few albums.
...from when he was a CHILD & Motown label puppet recording songs he had no part in writing.

It's not like she's at a point where she should be making very mature, deep music and doing this. I just don't understand the problem.

it's ridiculous...as if a young 23 year old women who's living an incredible life shouldn't be excited to make music with the primarily goal of being successful doesn't make any damn sense but that' some haters for you

Not every artist cares about song charting though, and those who were mentioned weren't as commercial as Rihanna is, esp Barbra Streisand -- some artists actually make music simply because it's a passion without giving a single **** if a single reaches the top 10 on B.B. hot 100. Shocking I know.

But MJ did care about chart performance. Every artists ultimate goal is success, to say anything otherwise is very naive.

Exactly, I don't know what homie is talking about. Janet's singles from 'Rhythm Nation' was stretched out over a year I believe. I know the music industry has drastically changed since then but clearly not for the better when it comes to album making.

And who's to say Rihanna isn't making music with a fierce passion while ALSO caring about hits?
I mean...

Didn't Michael release like 4 albums before he did started doing that? I don't know if he did it with Off The Wall or not.

GTFOH you are so delusional most artist dreamt about having a #1 song played on the radio for the whole world to hear before they even have a record deal...you're telling me that once they have the means to produce and make music they don't care about making music that can appeal to the masses??

I think the fact that she can keep on releasing music every single year without becoming really overexposed kind of shows that she is disposable. The music could basically be everyone else's, the artist doesn't carry the song. The song carries the artist.
So yes, she is interchangeable. But as long as she gives me ***** poppin' songs I don't care. And neither does anyone else unfortunately.

To be honest I'm sick of Rihanna constantly shoving herself into our faces. She's trying to go for Mariah's wig, I get it, but she really needs to take a break, for us and herself.
Everyone will jump at me for this but I really don't understand what do many people see in her. She has a mediocre voice, not that much talent, and she is so goddamn childish. She's just a hit machine who doesn't even wrote her own songs. If she did, then she would be coming out every 2-3 years, the way it should be.
Because of this her music has become so unbelievably generic. She hasn't had time to carve out her niche. What we don't get is her own style. We can't look at a song and say "ahh that's a typical Rihanna song" because everything she's put out recently has been much te same. I don't see what people see in her.

Well now we know "SHE WANTED" to do it. If she wants to throw albums out every 6 months or whatever then so be it. It looks like she enjoys it so its whatever. She'll probably take a break after this album though.

I find that Rihanna will never quite establish herself as a necessity in the music industry if she keeps trying to remind us that she exists.
I understand that you want to please your fans by constantly bringing them something new, but it seems like your label is worried that you'll go irrelevant as soon as you don't put out a new single.
There's clearly a lack of confidence in Rihanna on both her part, and the label's part.

You're not grasping the major difference and I can't say I'm surprised. Any way, I'm not saying that a lot of artists don't dream about or want #1 singles, but there is a difference in wanting a #1 single as opposed to creating a album for the sole purpose of obtaining those #1 singles. I'm a causal fan of Katy Perry so it's not shade, but we all know 'Teenage Dream' was created with Dr. Luke for the sole purpose of chart success and nothing more than that, and Katy's discounts and remixes for a single just to get it to #1 proves that. LOUD was created for the same purpose and 'Talk that that' is following that same formula, his quote proves that.
GGGB is the equivalent to 'Teenage dream' and let's not forget how Def Jam milked the hell out of that album for hit singles.

35 minutes though lol
If she likes doing it, I see no problem with it, but not every artist should.

BDAY was 37 minutes with 10 songs. I can't with you guys and your double standards. Since when does the length of the album tracks matter?? And Talk That Talk is 37 Minutes not 35!!
