Rihanna's first single is Pon De Replay. Her last single is FourFiveSeconds.

Wow. When you put it that way

[rihannafan]

FourFiveSeconds, Bitch Better Have My Money and American are all flawless

Beyoncé is delightfully predictable as in she's not a trend hopper and you know whatever she chooses to do, she'll bring it with the force of a thousand winds and do it to the quality of a Dubai hotel.

There's no use in constantly trend hopping and flopping (Britney, Rihanna, Gaga). I should note Gaga has talent and doesn't need to follow the "popstar" formula.

ST is literally a compilation of the hottest trends of the 2 years that preceded it, get outta here

[lonnie]

Beyonce didn't set any trends and when she did go with the trend she flopped: See Running (away from the top of the charts).

[rihannafan]

Meanwhile, has there ever been a lead single by a pop girl that didn't have a single drum or even a piano?

[Sunshine.]

It's called updating the sound. But Beyoncé has always been RnB/urban grounded?

Blatant trend hopping is FFS and BBHMM when your last lead was a Sia single and the other one a Calvun Harris edm track.

That's exactly it.

@defpen: Get ready! @IAmDiddy will be dropping his free album, 'MMM,' at any moment today - https://t.co/cCZOWiE3io https://t.co/Yc8zeTWfVO

Oh wow, the impact just keeps going on

[rihannafan]

How is FFS trend hopping when nothing sounds like it? There are 0 smash songs on the radio with only a guitar with no percussions whatsoever.

[rihannafan]

XO is literally a dumbed down diamonds, poor it Always so late

[Sunshine.]

Alternative acoustic music has been popular lately. Riptide, etc.

[Sunshine.]

XO is late. Yes. That's the only valid point.

[Aden]

XO is a great song. Rhenna wishes.

[Ecstasy]

Sorry, but seeing as how HIAM was the first song with a dubstep breakdown to enter top 40 WW and she gave Pharell his first number 1 with Slave and made Max Martin with her first two albums, Britney is a certified trend setter not a follower. Taste is subjective, numbers are not. She even sorta predicted the Ke$ha and Gaga style synth pop/ electro pop dominance with Blackout

Riptide has drums all over the instrumentals I wouldn't really call it a smash hit

Fact is NOTHING sounds like FFS and the other song that featured Paul and Kanye flopped hard. It was all Rihanna and her talent.

Dangerously in Love -----> Trend hops the urban wave in the early 2000s

Bday ------> Trend hops urban music again that was big at the time.

IASF -------> Trend hops pop and dance pop music at the time brought in by Gaga, Rih, BEP, JT e.t.c

4 ------> Trend hops with 'soulful' music after 21's success.

BÉYST ------> Trend hops when urban becomes big again.

Beyst literally has always been doing what's big at the moment

Confessions on a Dance Floor did that.

[rihannafan]

FFS - Only guitars in the verses + Chorus/ A freaking organ-driven bridge

--> Goes top 10 in 29 countries

XO - Ryan Tedder penned pop ballad -> Goes top 10 in 0 countries?

****fessions was more disco and eurodance than anything, while Blackout was extra heavy on synths and way more ambitious with autotune. Sorry but these are indisputable facts.

[rihannafan]

When you think about it, the IASF era eerily echoes the GGGB one. The jealousy must have been real.
