The era should have been handled better. There's no saving the album sales at this point.

WORK,however, has potential to be a big hit. She hasn't even finished the video though so

I love the album and this is all that matters. I really don't care about sales and charts like I used to. My diminished visit here also helps a lot.

Rih should work with Alicia Keys on a song like No One and Fallin', would be cool

[rihannafan]

All she needs is a good Work performance at the Brits and she'll be fine. Stop being such Drama Queens.

[Riha'love]

I'm not gonna let any negativity about charts overwhelm the positivity of how good this album is.

Future and Wiz blocking that second week #1 smh

Yeah I think she's only getting one week at #1. Especially since next week Kanye is releasing his album. Then the Grammys are gonna make sure Adele gets a nice boost.

OT: ANTI is her best album still.

I wouldn't say Anti has more quality than any of her previous releases. It's actually really all over the place with both lyrics and vocals. The fact she included so many up to 3 minutes songs is also not helping. And the quality of the Deluxe bonus tracks is just I refuse to believe it's the best material she recorded during these 3 years.

I am wondering how would a Rihanna album sound if she only worked with 1-2 producers on all tracks.

I agree with everything that you said

[RihRihGirrrl]

The UK numbers aren't a surprise tbh she's largely ignored them I'm the last couple years...FFS did well but none of the other songs did and they're just not here for her urban music. If she were to drop a pop song right now they'd be all over it. But I also think THIS is the reason Rih wanted to make an album like ANTI. Pop fans can be fickle and she creaky doesn't wanna make pop music for the rest of her career so she's gotta start trying to appeal to different audiences. That being said, the numbers wouldn't be so bad I'd she actually did some promo there instead of completely neglecting her biggest market lol anyways I'm not concerning myself with sales, this whole era has been a mess and the rollout was just tragic but the music is too good not to appreciate

You know I got the sauce
You know I'm saucyyyyy

Look on the bright side, ANTI flopping this bad will undoubtedly teach her a lesson. I expect the next era to be a lot more organized and I think she'll go for a traditional rollout with lots of promo.

[DILF $]

She'll win the UK back after the Brits.

You're fake mad anyway, ever since FFS came out. It's been over a year now, get it together!

It's not "flopping this bad" especially given the circumstances, also the album is literally just getting started. Y'all gotta stop being so dramatic lol. And tbh Rihanna is just gonna do whatever she wants to do with the next album, even if this one underperforms. She kinda made it clear in "Consideration". I don't expect her to ever go for a traditional rollout again.

I remember going constantly to the Farewell video on YouTube to read the comments about how some people were suffering for losing someone they loved, but I've never understood their feelings until now when my mom left home. I guess now I can connect with this song.

And I know you're going somewhere to make a better life
I hope that you find it on the first try
And even though it kills me
That you have to go
I know it'll be sadder
If you never hit the road

I was really mad at her for leaving us, but then I thought about how my dad made her life living hell for 30 damn years. Now I kinda understand the whole thing!

Somebody is gonna wish that you were here
That somebody is me

Every time I see her outside the house, I tend to act so cold towards her. I don't know why.. I guess I wanna show her that I'm strong and understanding about the whole situation, but then again, I don't wanna give her any signal that I'm happy for her leaving. I hope she's happy now. It really kills me everyday, though, when you spend your 21 years of your life with her, then suddenly she go somewhere far away from where I live. I miss her.

Sorry for the random rant, but there's no one that I can talk to.

Why so? I think Rih is very competitive and unless she wants to move away from her music career then I think she's gonna wanna come back a lot stronger. Now I don't think that the next album is gonna be LOUD or heavily pop but I do think that she's gonna make an effort to make sure the rollout is a lot better. Someone advised her that this whole 'surprise' album trend would be a good route for her to take and clearly it's not. I expect to see her do a more traditional rollout next time.

I agree that she'll continue to experiment with her sound but I just think she's gonna do a better job of rolling out the album next time.

!!! THe British GP isnt aware that there isnt a new Rihanna album out yet because she usually promotes there first before she drops something.

And the fact that I've never wanted so bad for someone to smash and flop at the same time , like, I need this bitch to learn a ****ing lesson in how to release music once and for all
