Diamonds and Russian Roulette are still absolutely stunning, two of my favourites by her <3 'Work' has really crept up for me recently and cemented itself as an all time favourite, that beat is just insane and it's one of those tracks you dance drunk to when you're sober *.* Y'all know what I'm talking about surely ;o

^completely agree with you regarding drunk dancing to "Work" ;o Although I can't at "We Found Love" below "Pon de Replay".

Mine:

1. "We Found Love
2. "Work"

3. "Only Girl (in the World)"
4. "Diamonds"
5. "Umbrella"

6. "SOS"
7. "Pon de Replay"

8. "Russian Roulette"

I think I've said my opinion on WFL about a million times so I'm not gonna bore y'all again, but Pon De Replay is a track that I should've given a lot more love to sad.gif Maybe a little outdated but still a huge bop, although it is easy to forget considering everything she's done since then.

Fair play. In terms of big artist debuts it does work - I consider it more "Just Dance" bop than "Crazy in Love" though tongue.gif

01. Diamonds
02. Work
03. We Found Love
04. Umbrella
05. Only Girl (In the World)
06. Pon de Replay
07. SOS
08. Russian Roulette

That top 5 though! Hard to rank them but 'Diamonds' is definitely #1.

Posted by: Cremey 18th September 2017, 08:57 PM

01 Work
02 We Found Love
03 Russian Roulette
04 Diamonds
05 Umbrella
06 Pon de Replay
07 SOS
08 Only Girl (in the World)

Actually no idea how to order 3, 4 and 5, that could've gone any way!
That top 2 is undeniable though.

1 Work
2 Russian Roulette
3 Umbrella
4 SOS
5 Pon De Replay
6 Only Girl (In the World)
7 We Found Love
8 Diamonds

I absolutely LOVE all of these but I do find the ones at the bottom a little overplayed which has ruined them a bit for me. Work is one of my favourite songs by any artist this decade though, it still sounds so fresh every time I hear it wub.gif

Posted by: Calum 18th September 2017, 10:12 PM

1. We Found Love
2. Only Girl (In the World)
3. Umbrella
4. Diamonds
5. Work
6. SOS
7. Russian Roulette
8. Pon De Replay

So difficult to order everything from 2-6, all incredible songs!

For me at this moment it would go:

1. Umbrella
2. Russian Roulette
3. Only Girl (In the World)
4. SOS
5. Pon De Replay
6. We Found Love
7. Work
8. Diamonds

I do really like all the Rihanna leads but I would say I listen to Work and Diamonds the least.

Russian Roulette is stunning and was so close to coming first but Umbrella is up their with her very best imo.

1 Only Girl (In The World)
2 Diamonds
3 Umbrella
4 Russian Roulette
5 We Found Love
6 Pon De Replay
7 SOS
8 Work

1.Umbrella
2 Diamonds
3 Only Girl (In The World)
4 Russian Roulette
5 We Found Love
6. SOS
7. Pon De Replay
8 Work



5 and 6 are sort of neck and neck tbh.

But everything else is like firmly at their position.

Umbrella I Stan. Always been my favourite Rihanna single in general heart.gif

Pon De Replay and Work I rang amongst my least favourites. With Work I still can’t bare it. I remember the dreadful first reactions to it and then it become huge and people started to love it... just not for me.

But all those leads are pretty impressionable and 1-6 are all pretty much classics.

1. We Found Love
2. Russian Roulette (this is very underrated I feel <3 )
3. Pon De Replay
4. Diamonds (would be 2nd or 3rd but have gone off a little over the years as the chorus irritates at times, still fine otherwise though)
5. Umbrella
6. SOS
7. Only Girl (In The World)
8. Work

My ratings still the same but I’ve grown to become more appreciative of We Found Love again (it’s still not amongst her best as a stand-alone song despite having my favourite music video of hers) but it’s sounding fresher after not hearing it quite as often for a while.
