July 17, 201212 yr Author I think I listen to Hollywood now for nostalgia purposes takes me right back to Year 13 at school. But you're right and I think Electra Heart is the better album and I am obsessed with Power & Control at the minute. Radioactive deserved to do A LOT better than it did I'm guessing Ke$ha is recording her second album, I hope she takes her time with it I can't stand her music
July 17, 201212 yr It's quite sad actually, because if TTWE had been released by Rihanna/Katy/Gaga or someone it probably would have been 2X Platinum by now! 2x platinum? As in 1.2 million+? I really doubt that somehow...
July 17, 201212 yr 2x platinum? As in 1.2 million+? I really doubt that somehow... I thought platinum was 600,000. Either way it deserved to sell loads imo :lol:
July 17, 201212 yr I thought platinum was 600,000. Either way it deserved to sell loads imo :lol: It is, hence 2x platinum being 1.2 million :P
July 17, 201212 yr Author 96. Marina and the Diamonds - Primadonna (160,500)* The "official" lead single from Marina's second album Electra Heart now. The brilliant Radioactive was actually the first cut from the album but only made No.25 and spent a disappointing 3 weeks on the chart so is now down as being a taster single, I don't believe that for a second. Anyway, Primadonna has become Marina's most sucessfull release to date peaking at No.11 and spending a decent amount of time in the top forty. Not my favourite track on the new album but deffinately her best single to date though Power & Control is fast growing on me Oh and for future reference if a record has a * symbol by it that means it is still in the charts Gj5L9SYhoSE Edited July 17, 201212 yr by justinthomas92
July 17, 201212 yr Author 95. Rihanna - Russian Roulette (163,200) Seriously, will it surprise anyone when I say that Rihanna appears the most out of anyone in this countdown? Of course not as she has been almost undoubtedly the biggest artist of this decade so far and if not then she's deffinately been the most sucessfull female artist. Russian Roulette was the lead single from RiRi's fourth studio album Rated R and released in the dying weeks of the 00's so charted well into 2010 selling 163k in that year. Not my favourite tune from her but it was a pleasant surprise upon release, I really liked the darker and edgy side that came out in the Rated R record ZQ2nCGawrSY Edited July 18, 201212 yr by justinthomas92
July 17, 201212 yr I hated Russian Roulette so much. Thankfully Run This Town was able to satisfy my Rihanna drought. :lol: I agree it was very surprising, but the album as a whole has loads of songs I love on it. Wait Your Turn, Photographs, Hard, etc. are all fantastic.
July 17, 201212 yr It's weird how Marina's lead singles have both had roughly the same amount of success as of yet
July 17, 201212 yr I guess that's the last we'll be seeing of Marina, and the start of Rihanna... :lol:
July 17, 201212 yr I guess that's the last we'll be seeing of Marina, and the start of Rihanna... :lol: Should be the other way round :(
July 17, 201212 yr No, It was I'm Not a Robot, but it's orginal release flopped, so she re-released it after Hollywood, where it came sucessfull.
July 17, 201212 yr Author No, It was I'm Not a Robot, but it's orginal release flopped, so she re-released it after Hollywood, where it came sucessfull. Oh I didn't know that
July 17, 201212 yr I hated Russian Roulette so much. Do you mean it's grown on you then? I really like the song, although I prefer Rude Boy a bit more. The instrumental to Russian Roulette is even better though, I love hearing it on the Hollyoaks advert! :wub: I would like Rihanna to release a few more "darker" singles in the future, the only other song that comes close is Disturbia, although it's more the video that is "dark".

Hasn't really grown on me much tbh. Maybe a tiny bit. I hardly ever listen to it since its radio airplay died down. Yeah, now that you mention it, Rihanna doesn't have many dark songs. I guess on her current album Birthday Cake and Red Lipstick are slightly dark.
July 17, 201212 yr Yeah, now that you mention it, Rihanna doesn't have many dark songs. I guess on her current album Birthday Cake and Red Lipstick are slightly dark. I remember seeing somewhere that Rihanna was a favourite to perform the new Bond theme (aside from Adele, of course), so that could have been a more of a darker song.
July 18, 201212 yr Author 94. Britney Spears - Hold It Against Me (164,200) Say goodbye because this will be the last we here from Britney in this countdown. Being a kid of the "Britney generation" I remember there being a slight buzz about amongst my friends and peers when Hold It Against Me premiered. I was neither wowed or dissapointed by the track but it was just another Britney one that will probably be forgotten before this year is out. The song gave Britney her 4th US No.1 and 21st UK Top Ten hit which is no small feat I'm sure you'll agree however with somewhat disappointing performances of her singles in the UK these past few years we have to wonder will 'Hold It Against Me' be her 21st and last Top 10 single. -Edv8Onsrgg Edited July 18, 201212 yr by justinthomas92
July 18, 201212 yr Author 93. Nicki Minaj (feat. Rihanna) - Fly (168,600) So right after saying goodbye to Britney we welcome miss Nicki Minaj into our countdown with the first of three entries for her in the chart. Fly features Rihanna and managed a Top 20 position in the UK peaking at #16, it doesn't really leave much of an impression on me it's far from bad but also far from good at the same time and Rihanna, in my opinion, adds very little to the track 3n71KUiWn1I
July 18, 201212 yr No, It was I'm Not a Robot, but it's orginal release flopped, so she re-released it after Hollywood, where it came sucessfull. And Obsessions and Mowgli's Road also had videos that preceded Hollywood.
July 18, 201212 yr Hold It Against Me was/is incredible (but not as good as TTWE imo). Not my favourite Nicki track either, but love it nonetheless! :wub: I think i may end up as owning 99% of the songs on this list :lol:
