I recon this could be an EP type album, from the clues given it seems likely!

 

She said on Twitter, not a new album, not a re-release but YES to new music! So sounds like an EP to me!

New material but not a new album or re-release = Greatest Hits/Singles Collection? I know all of the reports suggest otherwise but that's what her tweets seem to be indicating to me.

 

I am excited. I LOVE Rihanna and she really does get better with each era.

Unfortunately, it looks like a re-release.

Good thing imo, will help album sales alot and jumping onto another album so soon would be a wrong move imo. Still excited to hear new stuff from her, I've overplayed 'Loud' far too much and need new RiRi in my life!

I wish they would announce something officially, Is there a Cheers video coming out aswel?

'Cheers' music video should be on the way ^_^

 

She tweeted this on August 17;

#CHEERS Longest video shoot EVERRRRR!!!!......

I WANT A RIHANNA USB STICK.

 

Hopefully we'll get confirmation soon. My money is on a re-release.

I'd be quite happy with a re-release, normally I'd say move onto the next album, but she is very quick to move on. Plus Loud only had 11 tracks, so a few more would be good. If she does do it though I hope we get at least 5/6 new songs. Not 3 like GGGB Reloaded.

I think a re-release is a good idea. Its a bit too early for a new album yet. Good girl gone bad spawned about 8 or 9 singles, so I'm sure loud can be stretched further yet.

I don't get the "Cheers longest shoot ever"... wasn't it a recording of her performing it on the tour? Unless she was being sarcastic, lol.

 

Anyway, a re-release is fine with me as long as it comes with a companion album.

I take it her team have finished this and she's just going to lay down her vocals a couple of weeks before release like Loud. Interesting that she worked with Britney not long ago and she's turning into her as far as career involvement goes. Shame she has all these big hits and she makes so little from them! Another mercades for Esther Dean! Get those endorsements Ri you need to make money somehow.

I'm pretty sure she's doing fine financially somehow LOL.

Lol the artist tends to get a lot of money even if they dont right the songs.

Excited for a re-release! Hopefully Rihanna can get a #1 this year! (I can't remember if WMN got #1 in December or January) and yeah this era has been so successful, it would be a shame for it to be over in just one year.

Artists only get 8% of CD sales

Yes but they do get royalties/endorsements/HUGE amounts for tours and live performances so I'm sure she's doing fine. Plus artists like her hardly pay for ANYTHING as they get so much for free!

I think you've been on here long enough to know that artists receive money from a lot of different things... CD and download sales are just the very tip of the iceberg... :blink:

Don't artists mostly get their money through touring and promotion?

Yep, that's why they don't like people selling "fake" merchandise outside of concerts.

The post that I quoted said "Lol the artist tends to get a lot of money even if they dont write the songs." We're talking about CD sales here. You think I think that artists only make money off the back of CDs? Slightly ridiculous no? I wouldn't be taking a degree in Commercial Music if I didn't know what I was talking about.

They may not make a lot of money off CDs but a successful album leads to a successful tour
