What Now is pretty good in the moment, but I never, ever go back to it.

 

BBHMM has too many haters. Huge song.

Despite I am not a great fan of Rihanna, BBHMM is pretty good.. I have a weird music taste, actually..

Finally, BBHMM is out! :cheer:

 

I do love the Handbag House vs Kat Krazy remix though :music:

 

Oh yes, the origin of the classic iTunes meme! I like her vocals in that one. I guess it's in a way Rihanna's Unconditionally (but the latter is a lot more well done :wub: )

Are you sure you calculated 'Shut Up and Drive's average right :P? I can't believe it's still in.

What meme? And which song are you comparing to whose 'Unconditionally' (Katy Perry? What Rihanna song is like that?)

Both amazing songs and should be higher! 'What Now' is particularly underrated :(

BBHMM being out already 💔 My absolute fave, so f***ing good.

What Now is hideous, glad to see it out!

"Why is What Now climbing the iTunes Charts?" :P it's mostly known by regular chart forum posters.

30. Te Amo // 6.90

Highest score: 10 (Mackenzie, Scene)

Lowest score: 2 (River Lea)

 

29. Run This Town // 7.01

Highest score: 10 (Cody, Cremey, Josh)

Lowest score: 2 (Joseph, Mike Sugafan)

 

28. Take A Bow // 7.04

Highest score: 11 (Jonjo)

Lowest score: 0 (Jade)

 

Kicking off the top 30 is the final song to not reach an average score of 7. 'Te Amo' was released as the final single from 'Rated R' back in 2010 to a bit of a damp squib response from the general public but made the UK top 20 all the same. Just scraping a 7 average is the 2009 Roc Nation super collab 'Run This Town'. You just know this would've been a TIDAL EXCLUSIVE had such an organisation existed at the time. Luckily it did not, and the song managed to top the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. Finally in this section, Jade better take a bow before Jonjo ensures she can never stand upright again. Released as the lead single from the repackaged 'Good Girl Gone Bad' album, it managed 2 weeks at number 1 in the UK.

What the heck at Take A Bow being out??? :( In my top three Rihanna songs and it is such an underrated gem of a track, absolutely terrific song :wub:

I don't even fully understand why 'Take A Bow' has the hold that it does on me, but it just does. So stunning :wub:

I love both Te Amo and Take A Bow. :(

Wow got some catching up to do. Firstly never been keen on 'If It's Lovin' That You Want' or 'Cheers', and in fact I'm quite surprised that the former isn't a lot lower and 'Cheers' was okay as an album track, just didn't work as a single for me personally, especially in the UK where the brilliant 'Man Down' got passed over for this, such a waste.

 

'California King Bed', Now I do like this one, even liked the video, found it very sensual and sexy and Rihanna can carry a ballad and it was a good moment on 'Loud', and liked it as a single choice, especially following the mammoth 3, this slowed things down just enough. 'Bitch Better Have My Money' is another one I do quite like and out of the 3 she released that year, this one was certainly the best one, sure it's not perfect but that video was awesome and was probably better than the song itself.

 

'What Now' is another one I didn't really care for, just find it so dull and doesn't really go anywhere. Personally I found it a very weak single choice (even more so than 'Right Now'). In fact the entire 'Unapologetic' era (bar the first 2 singles) was a mess. 'PIU' was okay, but music video came way too late and ended up flopping badly. I dunno why anyone thought 'WN' would save the era, I personally think either 'Jump' or 'Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary' would have better choices for singles, either would have ended the era on a much better note. I know 'Jump' was released in Australia and did pretty well over there, but with proper promo and an official worldwide release, then it could have been another chart smash.

'Te Amo', this is another strange single choice, basically just an excuse for a sexy music video with Rihanna getting it on with another woman, this like 'WN' ended the 'Rated R' era on a sour note, and I know I'm in the majority in this but 'Fire Bomb' should have been released instead of this boring number. 'Run This Town', just find okay and not very memorable in my opinion.

 

'Take A Bow', this should be much higher, really like this song and was another great single choice and led the re-release of 'Good Girl Gone Bad' to a flying start, which makes this an excellent addition. Her vocals sound really good on this and the production is top notch. I think through the years this has been more or less forgotten, due to the amount of hits she's had, and this just got lost amongst the pile, and just goes to show how strong her discography is.

Here's a bumper set of results to make up for the ridiculously long wait you've had, apologies.

Y'all hoes always underrating Love The Way You Lie smh

LTWYL quite uncomfortablly too low :( perhaps it's because of the featured artist curse.

 

Live Your Life could have been a bit higher too

TTT and LTWYL are way too low :(

 

Thank god at Princess of China being out tho

Ugh LTWYL & 'Stay' are both out far, FAR too soon </3

'Talk That Talk' is quite underrated, although one of the worst rap featurings ever.

TTT, POC, 'Stay' and 'Work' are all way too low. LTWYL is too high it's shit. Even 'Monster' is more enjoyable than that mid-tempo mess. LYL is also too high. I really don't understand that song at all as the use of the sample and the chanted post-chorus ''eeeeh eeeeh'' makes it sound so childish. For me it's one of the worst uses of a sample ever.

 

I can't believe TIWYCF is still in as I thought everybody disliked that and thought it was boring :D
