You're right - you gave it 6. -Gary was the other person to give it an 11.

'Fading' is wonderful. It's so beautiful. I don't get why it's so low. It should definitely be higher! :( Not too bothered about the rest of that section, but 'P.S...' is nice too!

You Da One and G4L are ridiculously low

^^ Agree and literally shame on all of you for scoring Pour It Down so low

Not the best selection imo. We have what is probably her worst single to date in Rockstar 101, and one of the most annoyingly repetitive songs shes done in Numb which sees her repeat action with Eminem - although not even as half as good as Love The Way You Lie. Final Goodbye is probably the standout track from A Girl Like Me, and was surprised it wasnt higher tbh. Not really sure why Mad House is quite so high and Skin has good production, but is ultimately a bit dull.

I don't get the hate towards 'Rockstar 101', I like it a lot. It's not single worthy at ALL, so I get peoples fuss over it not being a single or whatever, but as a song, it's not too bad. 'Numb' is terrible though. For both acts involved and what they'd done together in the past, it should have been so much better! 'Final Goodbye' is stunning and a clear highlight from 'A Girl Like Me'. 'Mad House' is fantastic though. Possibly the BEST intro to an album, perhaps EVER?! Brilliant. 'Skin' is nice too. The production is insane. It's so dirty and :wub:

Final Goodbye! :wub: :cry: A highlight of her early career (and definitely the non-single highlight of the first two), should have at least graced the top 50.

'G4L', 'Fading' and 'Skin' are all FAR too low. :( I'm glad 'Hate How Much I Love You' has done pretty terribly though ^_^

The first song to break the 7 point mark is Rihanna's second ever single, the blandfest that is "If It's Lovin' That You Want" appears next, somehow scoring four 11s on the way. One of the darker songs from Good Girl Gone Bad, "Question Existing also appears. Rihanna's duet with Nicki Minaj from 2011, the pleasant "Fly" also appears, with album tracks from Rated R and Loud also.

All of them (bar 'Question Existing' - definitely in my bottom 5 RiRi songs) I love. 'If It's Lovin...' is so under appreciated. I can't believe it's the forgotten gem it is! 'Fly' is so uplifting and motivational. It's great. The better of their two (?) duets together. 'The Last Song' and 'Complicated' are the underrated highlights from each respective era! Both are up there amongst her VERY best for me. Absolutely stunning.

As Jack seems to have forgotten, I'll give you another set :P

"Farewell", one of the best ballads that Rihanna's ever recorded, opens up the top 50, drawing with "California King Bed", which just trails one of the Loud album's fellow singles, "Cheers (Drink To That)" at #48. The song took a long time to grow on me, but properly clicked when it was released as a single - just weeks before the lead single from her next album! Two David Guetta collaborations are next, with the most recent, "Right Now", being a belated returning-of-the-favour for Rihanna appearing on the hit single "Who's That Chick?" back in 2010.

Sorry, for some reason I thought it was your turn next! Haha!

Ugh. What a BEAUTIFUL set of two songs, to tie with each other. Up there amongst her very best for me (obviously). So gutted (although not surprised really) to see them so low!

Glad CKB has fallen out. Never got it AT ALL.

 

Right Now and (to a lesser extent) Cheers too low though :o

CKB at 49? :o That's my favourite RiRi song of all time. :P

I expected CKB that low. Far too much hate towards it. :(

 

And below Right Now, what even?
