you cut off some pieces of lyrics don't make the song become non-personal tbh.
I'm sorry but how can a song with a chorus like party's be personal am i missing something here? and those lyrics ARE enough to show that the songs aren't personal.
They both are personal. To say either of them aren't is delusional.
Rated R: Firebomb, Russian Roulette, Cold Case Love, The Last Song, Photographs, Stupid in Love, though aren't written by Rihanna in full clearly correlate to her troubled relationship with Chris Brown. The dark imagery metaphorically transcribes one of the darkest points in her life. Rated R was an outcry of pain and about the complications of love.
4: I care, I Was Here, Countdown, Love On Top, Start Over, I Miss You... In my opinion are all about the ups and downs of a relationship. I do think it entails a lot of details about Bey and Jay's marriage. I think they've had a lot of ups and downs, but now, definitely, they are soaring (i.e Countdown & Love On Top).
Anyway, they both are successful. They both were risky, critically acclaimed masterpieces. They are two of the very few albums I can listen to from start to finish (sans RTW and RS101). If we're going off of commercial success I would have to go with Rated R for the success of Rude Boy. Other than that, I think it's stupid to pin an album that's been out for almost 3 years versus one who's been out for about a year.

Album sales they were very similar though.
