'Man Down' only #15. :( :( :(

 

It has to be the best song on Loud - maybe joint with 'Love The Way You Lie Part II' and 'Only Girl (In the World)'. Such a shame it has missed the top 10 and charting lower than the criminally overrated 'Rude Boy' - it's okay but it is definitely not one of the all-time best Rihanna songs that some people claim.

 

Hoping for top 5 positions for 'Umbrella', 'Unfaithful', 'Only Girl (In the World)' and 'We Found Love'.

At #12 is the fourth single lifted from Rihanna's third album, the MJ-sampling "Don't Stop The Music" (and to great effect, too!) (although according to Wikipedia both artists used the hook from Manu Dibango's 1972 recording "Soul Makossa". It was the second most-successful single released from the standard edition of Good Girl Gone Bad, and still ranks highly among Rihanna's best-sellers list. "Unfaithful" finishes in the unlucky 11th position, despite receiving the second most 11s of all songs! It was the second single from A Girl Like Me, and still pops up in the UK chart (most famously in 2010 when Rihanna performed the track with winner-to-be Matt Cardle on the final of The X Factor). It's a great ballad about the death of the love between Rihanna and her man after she cheated.

The top 10 will be revealed in due course! The songs still standing are as follows:

“Diamonds”
“Hard” (ft. Young Jeezy)
“Only Girl (In The World)”
“Russian Roulette”
“Stay” (ft. Mikky Ekko)
“Take Care” (Drake ft. Rihanna)
“Umbrella” (ft. Jay-Z)
“We Found Love” (ft. Calvin Harris)
“What's My Name?” (ft. Drake)
“Where Have You Been”



Feel free to predict the outcome, but try to use spoilers in case other members do not want to know!

Invalid result.

 

Not even top 10? You are all very awful people!

 

I am also extremely outraged at Unfaithful.

 

I predict:

 

 

1. Umbrella (third best song in this so would be a great winner)

2. We Found Love (shouldn't be that high but it will)

3. Only Girl

4. Stay

5. What's My Name

6. Hard

7. Where Have You Been

8. Diamonds

9. Russian Roulette (best song in the top 10 now Unfaithful's out :(, surprised it beat it to be perfectly honest)

10. Take Care

 

'Stay' craps all over 'Unfaithdull', it's not even funny. Her voice is so much more powerful and technically a lot better in 'Stay' for me. 'Unfaithful' (as good as the song is) is a bit whiny and irritating at times. So pleased the former is one of the highest ballads. Hoping for it to win, but I know it won't come anywhere near. Not surprised to see the overrated 'Only Girl (In the World)' come so high though! :drama:

 

What I WANT:

01. “Stay” (ft. Mikky Ekko)

02. “What's My Name?” (ft. Drake)

03. “We Found Love” (ft. Calvin Harris)

04. “Umbrella” (ft. Jay-Z)

05. “Russian Roulette”

06. “Diamonds”

07. “Hard” (ft. Young Jeezy)

08. “Where Have You Been”

09. “Take Care” (Drake ft. Rihanna)

10. “Only Girl (In The World)”

 

UGH. This changes ALL THE TIME! D:

---

What I THINK:

01. “We Found Love” (ft. Calvin Harris)

02. “Umbrella” (ft. Jay-Z)

03. “Only Girl (In The World)”

04. “Diamonds”

05. “Where Have You Been”

06. “Russian Roulette”

07. “What's My Name?” (ft. Drake)

08. “Stay” (ft. Mikky Ekko)

09. “Hard” (ft. Young Jeezy)

10. “Take Care” (Drake ft. Rihanna)

Unfaithful is my favourite Rihanna song. :cry: I'm pleased to see Where Have You Been in the Top 10 though! :wub:

'Unfaithful' at #11 ????? :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: It's supposed to be one of THE fan favourites of all-time.

 

And for the record, 'Unfaithful' >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 'Stay'.

 

'Stay' is ridiculously overrated on here. Sure, it's better than 'Diamonds', but that doesn't really say much.

 

I'd say 'Stay' and

Hard

are the only two songs that aren't deserving of top 10 positions - along with

Diamonds

obviously.

 

My prediction is this:

 

 

1. “Stay” (ft. Mikky Ekko)

2. “We Found Love” (ft. Calvin Harris)

3. “Hard” (ft. Young Jeezy)

4. “Umbrella” (ft. Jay-Z)

5. “Only Girl (In The World)”

6. “Russian Roulette”

7. “What's My Name?” (ft. Drake)

8. “Take Care” (Drake ft. Rihanna)

9. “Where Have You Been”

10. “Diamonds”

 

 

My predicted #2, #4 and #5 are the ones I'm championing. As well as #6. :kink:

 

'Unfaithful' as a song is leagues better than 'Stay', maybe if Rihanna recorded an up to date version the issue with the vocals would be sorted.

 

I like 'Don't Stop The Music' a lot, although at the time it was ridiculously overplayed and I've never quite enjoyed it in the same way since.

 

Absolutely disgusted at 'Diamonds' being in the top 10. :puke:

Opening up the top ten is Rihanna's 2009 comeback single from the maturer Rated R album. "Russian Roulette" initially felt like a disappointment after the months of waiting for another Rihanna pop/club song, but Buzzjack still managed to fawn over it anyway. It's not my favourite from the album (which still rates as one of my favourite from her), but it did feel like a brave choice for her at the time. It continued Rihanna's '#2 curse' in the UK, and severely underperformed in the American/worldwide charts.

Next up is the final Rated R single and the only official UK single of Rihanna's to miss the UK top 40: "Hard". Another of Rihanna's filth-ridden songs, lyric-wise, it was a fan favourite from the album, despite its lack of success. The song originally entered at #42 when the music channels were confused as to what the next single was, but when "Rude Boy"'s airplay picked up midweek, it leapfrogged it and left it behind. It was given a proper push in the summer of 2010, but failed to better the peak already achieved. It was a second top ten from the album in the US though.
Chris giving Disturbia a -1?!? brb deleting the bitch from everywhere

Finishing in eight place is the first single released from Rihanna's most recent album, the stunning "Diamonds". This song shocked fans and critics upon premièring, due to the drastic style choice of the song, but that didn't hinder its success in the charts, as it became her 7th UK #1 single and 12th Billboard Hot 100 #1 single. Production-wise, the song has been compared to M83's glorious "Midnight City", although I don't see it myself. It managed to be fairly non-divisive here, despite my belief that this and "Stay" were fairly disliked by Buzzjack.

Just came here to say I am outraged that 'Fire Bomb' is only 19 and 'Unfaithful' only 11. They should be 1 and 2, and they are both as outstanding as each other I can't decide which should have taken which place.

 

May I just say for the record 'Take Care' and 'What's My Name?' are so over-rated. And before anyone says, I do actually like Drake :lol:
