I CANNOT EVEN EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE IT

could that not just be the next single cover? i don't want to get TOO excited..

EYEBROWS. LIPS. BRAILLE.
Please don't be shit. I'll settle for one or two good songs this time if I have to.
Posted by: ✖ ketalina ✖ 25th March 2015, 10:13 PM
THE BRAILLE APPARENTLY SAYS
'BITCH BETTER HAVE MY MONEY'
NEW SINGLE TOMORROW THEN 
Posted by: Apricot 25th March 2015, 10:14 PM
ATRL says it's a single not album called Bitch Better Have My Money
Posted by: Jonjo 25th March 2015, 10:16 PM
I DON'T CARE. NEW RIHANNA RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. (But seriously why isn't it the album cover?!)
Posted by: Joe. 25th March 2015, 10:18 PM
I hope she comes for James Bay's overrated hat on Sunday.
Posted by: Jonjo 25th March 2015, 10:22 PM
It's not an album, Joe. 
Imagine if it was? I'm really confident it'd manage to get about 60k sales at least from tomorrow-Saturday!

What a dreadful photo. She's doing a Gaga and going off the rails (music wise) IMO.

It's just those eyebrows! They've almost got an existence of their own.

Oh I was under the impression it was an album - what's what twitter seems to think. But saying that 'bitch better have money' sounds more like a single.
I love the cover and the Frida eyebrows. I think it would have made a good album cover.
Posted by: HausofKendrick 25th March 2015, 10:27 PM
That is most certainly album cover worthy but all of her photoshoots this era have been iconic so I'm sure she has something special lined up for that if this is indeed "just" a single. Either way, XCITED.
Posted by: Liаm 26th March 2015, 12:30 AM
I was so excited that this was the album and she was Beyonce-ing it unti I saw the Braille reads "Bitch Better Have My Money" and that's no album title 
LOVE the cover though, that really is album worthy.
Posted by: *Tim 26th March 2015, 12:42 AM
Omg I need the album cover if this is anything to go by
Posted by: Atonement 26th March 2015, 07:01 AM
Well the title doesn't sound like it'll be another 'FourFiveSeconds'. Don't know what to expect!
Posted by: Liаm 26th March 2015, 07:48 AM
It's out but you have to download Dubsmash, which is some sort of app on Android/ios... I have to leave for school now, I shouldn't have checked twitter beforehand because it's gonna be a pain not to listen
Posted by: Josh. 26th March 2015, 07:57 AM
I can only seem to find an intro/outro about 15 seconds long each Sounds like a huge jam though, proper urban. The beats sound good too 
So excited !!!:!

Just heard a clip of it on Radio 1 and OMG I AM SLAIN ALREADY
can't wait for the whole thing
Posted by: THEO. 26th March 2015, 11:21 AM
That's exactly what I thought of when I saw the artwork! I like it but I don't see how the title "Bitch Better Have My Money" will have anything to do with Frida Kahlo
Upon listening to the clips (just YouTube them, Liam!
), I am very excited for this! Sounds much more like 'classic Rihanna' (at least of recent times) than "FourFiveSeconds", as much as I love that.Also, topic split please?
Posted by: Liаm 26th March 2015, 11:22 AM
Oh it's just clips, I heard the clips this morning and they sound fab! I thought the full thing was on Dubsmash, never mind

What if my faves are Rihanna?
amazing song tho, I always wanted another 'Pour It Up' esque urban jam from her and it seems like this is it!
Posted by: mr_aly 26th March 2015, 04:48 PM
This is a MESS. Why is she trying so hard to be ghetto?
Posted by: Apricot 26th March 2015, 04:48 PM
This is a lot more instant than Pour It Up was! Love it! 
Hopefully this will help the urban revival in the charts.

Reminds me a lil' bit of 'All Day'.
Quite liking this though, much better than 'Pour It Up' as people have said, I do love an urban bop.
Posted by: Davidson 26th March 2015, 04:54 PM
YAAASSSS
This is really really good. Can see it being divisive but I have been praying for Urban RiRi so this is perfect.
Posted by: Iz~ 26th March 2015, 04:56 PM
Yeah, I'm not really feeling that. Urban Rihanna has always been my least favourite facet of hers, with a few, mostly older, exceptions, but at least it sounds like the album will be diverse.
Posted by: ┌ ╫ ┘ 26th March 2015, 05:10 PM
i'm sure we are going to see many sides to rihanna's talent before the record comes out.
when have her and her team not known what she is doing? (answer is never except when they didn't)
Posted by: Liаm 26th March 2015, 05:34 PM
So much attitude, really liking this on first listen
Another song that's not very commercial, but FFS has been pretty big and it will probably just prove she can easily get hits
Posted by: Davidson 26th March 2015, 05:37 PM
I think this is pretty commercial actually. Can see it being a massive club anthem and being a big chart hit too. In the way that 'Niggas In Paris' or something was but obviously with higher peak and more sales.
Posted by: Atonement 26th March 2015, 06:08 PM
Well since everyone is comparing this to 'Pour It Up'.. I don't think I'm gonna like this better than PIU and this is good, but not as good as I wanted.
Looks like the album is gonna be another mixed bag (not in terms of quality (well probably in terms of quality too) but 45S and this are pretty far from each other in style).
Posted by: Josh. 26th March 2015, 06:47 PM
Omg yay proper love this. FFS remains better but the beats in this are amazing and sounds like a huge party tune too, yay.

Oh I still see it on UK iTunes! There's even a banner for it.
Posted by: Iz~ 27th March 2015, 01:03 PM
Okay, this is sounding a lot better on second listen. Certainly stronger than her efforts at this off the last album (thinking of Phresh Off The Runway & Pour It Up specifically). Not better than FourFiveSeconds but I can see where you guys are all coming from.
Posted by: Euphorique 27th March 2015, 01:13 PM
2 meh singles in a row, think I'm done with her this era.
Posted by: Atonement 27th March 2015, 02:07 PM
Is this on Spotify?
Posted by: gooddelta 27th March 2015, 02:25 PM
I find it neither massively enjoyable or awful personally. I appreciate urban Rihanna and it will no doubt sound good in the context of the album but as a standalone single it's not particularly my sort of thing.
Posted by: Robot 27th March 2015, 02:30 PM
I'm sure it'll grow because I do love urban Rihanna but it's not TOTALLY hitting me. I love the chorus though, can imagine shouting that in a club how we all shout I DON'T f*** WITH YOUUU every night. Gets better with every listen to be fair but it's missing something.
Posted by: *Tim 27th March 2015, 02:30 PM
If it's ever going to appear on that it'll be in a months time or so. Jay-Z is about to launch his streaming service and I doubt he'll allow it tho
Posted by: Kath ♡ 27th March 2015, 11:11 PM
I happened to hear 'Don't Stop the Music' on the radio today and couldn't help but wonder 'what on earth has happened to her since'
This faux ratchet folk type approach she has going on lately comes off as so forced and Kanye lite, but the GP are gullable to whatever she puts out so coins and kudos to her I guess
Posted by: Acoustic 29th March 2015, 09:09 PM
#29 in the Official UK charts. After only two days on sale, slay Queen.

The blah blah blah parts really annoy me. Other than that I'm not hating it.
Posted by: troylovesmusic 30th March 2015, 10:56 AM
Ok so her performance at the Iheartradio Awards really sold this song to me I liked it before but I LOVE it now
Posted by: Kath ♡ 30th March 2015, 12:05 PM
I kind of saw this type of sound coming for Rihanna since Talk That Talk, she's really gotten this huge ego lately and Kanye and his label have rubbed off on her entirely the wrong way
She was never loved for how artsy and talented she was. It was more of a star quality, presence, trend setting thing she had going on. I don't know why they're pursuing this faux artsy credibility only after her eighth album and I really can't see this era being as much of a success in the long run as it now is by obligation
I will even listen to Music of the Sun filler over this bullshit
Posted by: THEO. 30th March 2015, 12:35 PM
I hated that performance and it's really made me dislike the song. It's such a false 'identity' that's portrayed, from the titular bitch to that godawful dance routine that they had going on (for one, Rihanna has never done dance routines; for two, it was the most cringeworthy routine I've ever seen and that's including the S Club 7 Children in Need performance). I'm going off her more and more recently, and I actually really enjoy a lot of the Unapologetic tracks. It says quite something when the soundtrack song "Towards the Sun" is my favourite Rihanna song since 2012.
Posted by: Atonement 30th March 2015, 01:01 PM
You're all taking her way too seriously. Just because she takes herself too seriously does not mean the world should. Rihanna makes fun pop music and that is all there is to it.
I liked the performance. I don't care about her image or what she's trying to be, it is easy to see through it.
Posted by: Apricot 30th March 2015, 01:08 PM
Basically her and Kanye doing the same strategy. FourFiveSeconds followed by All Day / BBHMM and the whole 'album could drop at any second hypehype etc.' YAWN.
Posted by: _Nīck_ 30th March 2015, 01:48 PM
OMG THIS IS SUBLIME - that performance was breathtaking - never been so excited for a Rihanna album!
Posted by: Acoustic 30th March 2015, 02:07 PM
The hype around her is huge, so the success of this era is not something to worry about.
Posted by: Atonement 30th March 2015, 05:54 PM
In that performance she looks so much like Lil' Kim from the 90s (especially as she was in the 'Crush on You' video). I hope it's a homage (probably not )
Posted by: Cremey 30th March 2015, 06:26 PM
Love that performance so so much, makes me love the song even more.
This tour with Kanye is going to be one of the best tours of ALL TIME.
Posted by: Jonjo 30th March 2015, 06:35 PM
I don't get why people are so against her trying something new. It's her 8th album, she needs to keep changing it up. Her last two albums as whole's were too fillery. She needed to do something new and I'm loving how fresh it all is and I am loving the risks she's taking, it's paying off for her. I don't see how she has an "ego" just for doing something different than her usual style, just watch some interviews she did recently for the 'Home' promo tour.
Isn't that what this song is sort of about anyway? I think the performance was brilliant and suited the song well. Especially the minimalistic dance routine! She was a star throughout that performance and nothing's changed from now to the last time we saw her perform!
Slay me Rihanna. <3
Posted by: Cremey 30th March 2015, 06:46 PM
I don't see why people are so against her having an ego anyway..I think it's pretty justified when you consider how successful she is! Biggest pop star in the world for the last six/seven years?
Posted by: Kl▲mzee 30th March 2015, 06:51 PM
She's had ego for ages! Plus the song especially is one that requires ego in the performance, if it was something like California King Bed then maybe I'd see differently! Unapologetic had stronger first two singles but I get the feeling the album will be less filler than that! It's something different that actually makes for an interesting stage show!
Posted by: *Tim 30th March 2015, 07:17 PM
Absolutely adore this song and the performance sold it to me even more! Like Patrick said, with this song the attitude was definately needed. It added to the performance.
Here's praying she's releasing the video soon to get that 13th US #1.
Sadly I can't see her adding it to Spotify, as Jay0-Z is opening that Tidal or whatever it is called streaming service soon and lots of artists are involved, including Rih so I think Rih is going to be available exclusively on Tidal

Her urban tracks are always the best though!
Posted by: Liаm 7th April 2015, 03:12 AM
I feel like this might be the You Da One esque misfie of the era... I really like the song myself, much moreso than You Da One but it just doesn't seem to be doing the business with the public. But, as uncommercial as this seemed to me at first, if you played this and FourFiveSeconds last year and told me FFS would be a smash but this would flop I'd have laughed!
We can't fully write it off just now though I suppose...
Posted by: Atonement 7th April 2015, 07:27 PM

Posted by: ► ▲ N 10th April 2015, 11:41 AM
I never expected this to be a huge hit or anything but missing the top 20 completely in the UK is just awful.
I'm sure she's got another single to release before the album drops which will snatch errryone's wevs like 45S
Posted by: *Tim 10th April 2015, 01:03 PM
I've got this feeling she'll demote this to an urban single in the US and release a great pop song as the "actual" 2nd single for pop radio. One can pray because this seems to be flopping for now
Posted by: AdamAloud 12th April 2015, 02:53 PM
There is some major bad news for Rihanna. When she released her song “B*tch Better Have My Money” a couple weeks back, it immediately hit No. 1 on iTunes. It was a surprise, especially because the song garnered pretty bad reviews. The song had been received horribly on the Huffington Post and other sites.
“She can’t sing at all, sounds like a pitchy teenage girl trying to get ‘turnt up’ FOH. Still beautiful and a boss, but there’s a limit. lol,” said one Huffington Post user about Rihanna’s new song.
“I have to say, as a fan, I’m a little disappointed. This track does nothing for me,” said another poster.
The comments about Rihanna and her new single on the site Gossip Cop were similar.
“This is horrible. What happened to her saying the new music would be timeless. This is totally horrible and forgettable. As a fan of Rihanna I’m disappointed,” said a user named Shirl.
The comments weren’t much better on Twitter and Facebook. But it was thought that Rihanna had beaten the odds. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case and it looks like Rihanna may have her very first flop single, at least when compared to other lead singles from her albums. “B*tch Better Have My Money” is now at No. 16 on iTunes and dropping pretty fast. It made a splash at No. 23 last week on Billboard’s Hot 100, but Rihanna only moves up four spots to No. 19 this week. It wouldn’t be considered a flop for any other artist, but expectations are much higher for Rihanna.
Chart professionals at Pulse are shocked the song is not doing better. Airplay at pop music stations is starting to really slow down, even though the song did pick up nine adds this week. Perhaps Rihanna needs to go the Britney Spears route and hire Iggy Azalea. Britney Spears eventually stopped producing hits, but was smart enough to hire the Australian rapper for her next single “Pretty Girls,” which is receiving a lot of buzz.
According to Billboard, it’s not all bad for Rihanna. “B*tch Better Have My Money” gives Rihanna her 35th top 20 single. She is close to tying with Madonna, who has 44 top 20 singles. Eventually, Rihanna could tie with Elvis Presley, who has 48 top 20 singles. Rihanna is still young, so she can easily break the records.
Unfortunately, Rihanna is hitting a roadblock that a lot of female singers hit after four or five albums. It happened to Lady Gaga with ARTPOP, it’s starting to happen to Katy Perry, and Rihanna seems like she is following the trend. Let’s hope Rihanna can reinvent herself so she can keep producing No. 1 hits.

Posted by: *Tim 12th April 2015, 08:48 PM
What does Iggy have to do with this? 
But I don't agree with the article that Rih is hitting a block. FourFiveSeconds did amazing and while Bitch Better Have My Money isn;t setting the charts alight, it really is a great song, just not very accesible/a tad marmite
Posted by: ► ▲ N 13th April 2015, 12:45 PM
I really wouldn't compare this era to Lady GaGa's, FourFiveSeconds has done better than all the ARTPOP singles combined. She's definitely not on Britney/JLo's level who need Iggy Azalea to get them attention.
Rihanna could definitely get another big smash from the upcoming album though, she needs to release it soon though as BBHMM is already dropping out of the charts
Posted by: dhwe 14th April 2015, 04:20 AM
I'm pretty sure most people think of "FourFiveSeconds" as her lead single, regardless of what it "officially" is, as it's the first time they've heard her voice on the radio in a while. "BBHMM" just falls into the pattern of the less pop-friendly second single that doesn't stick at top 40. It's not like this is anything new for her; her campaigns always seem to me to be about throwing out a bunch of singles over the course of a few months and seeing what sticks (maybe because she always has one toe in urban radio so it works for her in the way it wouldn't for Katy or Gaga). She's had pop smashes come out of fourth or even fifth singles before so I don't see the point of the hand-wringing. Maybe it's the fact that she's been gone so long and people expect her to suddenly unleash like a thousand consecutive pop smashes.
Posted by: Atonement 14th April 2015, 05:38 AM
Who wrote that and why is that person under the illusion that an Iggy Azalea duet can help a career? I think IA should focus on not flopping herself.
But then again, was BBHMM ever officially promoted as the second single? 'Cause I never considered it to be the official second single when she dropped it and I still don't. It looks more like a buzz single to me (and not saying that 'cause it's flopping ).
Although I do think she needs to get a manager again. She's too much in control. What I need from Rihanna is one mediocre album every year and a bunch of great hits to listen to.

i just expect something with some sense of direction. riri's team have had years to prepare a killer era perfectly poised and positioned and thus far everything feels somewhat listless and scrambled. unleashing 6/10 singles out of nowhere, 'four five' and 'bitch' lack any cohesion and i can't see how they'd work together on the same album. poles apart. no word on the album either, just get the f*** on with!

Faring slightly better than I expected on US radio

This has gone top 20 on Spotify (I KNEW it would do well on streaming - those urban songs always seem to do really well on Spotify), so it might go back to the top 40.

#37 Dutch Top 100.
SLAYING.
No idea why it dropped out the week before though? Has it been added to Spotify this week?

Yup, I didn't even know the single top 100 used streams as well until I noticed Rih and Taylor flopping

This is my favourite song she's released in the R8 era. FourFiveSeconds and American Oxygen are so bland compared to this.

Posted by: AntoineTTe 7th May 2015, 10:52 PM
Really like the fact that she didn't go for humungous pop smash this time around. The artwork is trying too hard, though. Is she hoping Tarantino is going to cast her in something?

I absolutely hated this to begin with. Then I kept hearing it on Spotify playlists, then radio picked it up and now it's so infectious I absolutely adore it! 
R3Hab Remix has to be up there as the best official mix of it though.

Actually can't wait for this.
I've not been that hopeful for the new album (whenever it arrives..) but I don't know why not really, the only mis-step for me so far has been 'American Oxygen'. This is still one of my favourite songs of the year.

That was disturbing
Rihanna really likes her body, doesn't she?
Posted by: *Tim 2nd July 2015, 01:00 PM
For f***s sake, they already blocked it. Taylor stans were reporting it for being explicit and now it's blocked for anyone under 18.
I guess they got threatened by the reign of "flop" Rih
Posted by: FROOT. 2nd July 2015, 02:19 PM
Why would it not be rated 18+?
It's a good video, if a bit too 'look at me' but it's still a terrible song.
Posted by: *Tim 2nd July 2015, 02:27 PM
I didn't say it shouldn't, I was just expressing my sort of anger at them doing the most by reporting it
Posted by: AdamAloud 2nd July 2015, 02:30 PM
Taylor stans just pressed the true queen is back to reclaim her crown.
Posted by: LeeWallace 2nd July 2015, 02:42 PM
The video really should have been released at least a month ago and the single could have done much better. The video is seriously incredible and by far her best to date. The video most likely cost more than the money made from this.
It's a great shame that it was Blocked for a while, those stupid Taylor fans. Did 'Bad Blood' even manage over 19m views in 24 hours?

Great video, very disturbing but the definite kick in the backside this era needed, and definitely the best video out of the R8 bunch, maybe the song itself will grow on me more
Posted by: Cremey 2nd July 2015, 05:18 PM
Well worth the wait! That last scene with the close-up of her face covered in blood...iconic.
Posted by: HausofKubrick 2nd July 2015, 05:22 PM
Incredible video, very cinematic. Excitement for R8 reignited~
You're all paying dust to 'American Oxygen' but it's still the best song we've heard this era BY FAR.
Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 2nd July 2015, 05:43 PM
I quite enjoyed the video but the first couple of minutes and the last 25 seconds are by far the best parts of the video

If by best you mean best example of an unfinished demo, then yes. It's the best.

The end of that video is such a Bad Romance rip.

I'm not a big fan of these types of videos. It should've come earlier but the song is still (surprisingly) stable in the US anyway.

Just got around to watching the video. Amazing! It felt like it was more than just a music video.
I still love this song. I know it won't be a hit, but I'm still so excited for whatever album she wants to release <3
Posted by: Atonement 8th July 2015, 09:01 PM
Reaching a new peak of #15 on the Hot 100 in its 15th week. 15 weeks between #15 and #28 is not bad at all.

As an epilogue of sorts to the clip, which centers on Rihanna's kidnapping of her accountant's wife before showing him strapped to a chair, she tortures him by cutting off his hand and blinding him.
She released the clip via Google Play, but a fan site has uploaded it in tweet form, which you can watch in the series of tweets below:

Something for Halloween, the clips are in the link above but of course they're not for the squeamish among us.
