August 6, 20197 yr Author exactly , they r doing to her the same thing Rihanna’s managment did back in the late 2000’s early 10s by forcing her to release a new album every few months , then when she’s 30 they will dump her like they’re doing to Rihanna... Who's dumped Rihanna? :lol: :lol:
August 6, 20197 yr exactly , they r doing to her the same thing Rihanna’s managment did back in the late 2000’s early 10s by forcing her to release a new album every few months , then when she’s 30 they will dump her like they’re doing to Rihanna... Omg THIS. It's the same thing they tried to do to the Spices before Geri left. It means the bosses see them as short-lived success, or bubble acts, and are tryin to get as much out of them as they can before the bubble bursts. They don't do this with acts they thibk will have sustained longevitt. They usually do it with massively popular artists, as they know that type of success is not self-sustaining and collapses eventually. Surprised they didn't force Katy to do the same post Teenage Dream! It is their response to the Furtado Baking Pies Effect.
August 6, 20197 yr it's what labels do with EVERY pop act. No pop act takes 8 years between album 1 and 2 LOL
August 6, 20197 yr Katy took 5 years, so did Nelly Furtdao, but it destroyed them. GaGa takes ages, as does Adele!
August 6, 20197 yr Who's dumped Rihanna? :lol: :lol: Yeah, it's now more like Rihanna is free to do whatever she wants which is kind of opposite of label dumping her.
August 6, 20197 yr Ed chart domination might be annoying but at least he not releasing a 3rd album in 12 months ariana needs to go om hiatus for 20 years or more
August 6, 20197 yr Yeah, it's now more like Rihanna is free to do whatever she wants which is kind of opposite of label dumping her. Yeah but where is she now? Her label and management havent even started working on her new album while her last album was 5 years ago... she's 31 now so no longer a priority, same thing with Katy, Britney, Taylor , Christina and everyone else, when they reach the magic age of 30 they stop being a priority to their management, record labels and they only try to make money from their tours, if they can sell tickets...
August 6, 20197 yr Ed chart domination might be annoying but at least he not releasing a 3rd album in 12 months ariana needs to go om hiatus for 20 years or more Ariana is delivery albums at a high rate. I think she is over exposed at the moment and im tiring of her rapid output of singles dominating the singles chart.
August 6, 20197 yr Author Yeah but where is she now?

This is one of the most ridiculous suggestions I've seen. ANTI was only 3 years ago and was big - perhaps not her biggest ever, but Work is one of her biggest hits and the follow-up singles have deceivingly low peaks for how big they were. She's taken her time with this album because she hasn't NEEDED to rush it. It's not much longer than the gap between Unapologetic and ANTI in fact. It's nothing to do with her age, she's one of the biggest names in the world and with the right material, her new era's going to be another big one. (also, Taylor's 29, but I suppose her brand new label will sideline her after 13th December this year :( :( :( )

Rihanna has reached a point in her career where she dictates when she records and releases and she has done tonnes of recording for her next release already, with it apparently due to be released this year. She is no longer churning out music because she clearly wants to put out bodies of work she loves rather than a collection of hit singles.
August 6, 20197 yr Sweetener the album is only like just under a year old isn’t it but the songs on it aside from the singles don’t really connect with Ari now do they? Like she recorded a lot of songs about Pete there was even a track on the album named after him but since they broke up she then recorded an entire new album. IK some of the album was about Macs death (the thank u next one) but that’s maybe like three of the 12 tracks at a push. She’d actually recorded more personal tracks but took them off thank u, next in favour of more fun tracks like break up with ur gf, I’m bored. Edited August 6, 20197 yr by Jordan Lee
August 6, 20197 yr Rihanna made 1 billion dollars from her beauty range, she will do music when she wants to. She owns all her material and still takes in a fortune from it. Anti was still charting in the US this year as well. The only thing Rihanna is an example of is being a label puppet and breaking free of that and becoming fully in control of her career and that has lead to her being the richest woman in music now. A true success story.
August 6, 20197 yr Rihanna made 1 billion dollars from her beauty range, she will do music when she wants to. She owns all her material and still takes in a fortune from it I highly doubt she made $1b from Fenty when she has a minority stake. Forbes (who are known to inflate) said in June 2019 she is worth $600m which includes her music, beauty and acting.
August 7, 20197 yr Why are people talking about Rihanna, off topic, she doesn't have anything out atm and imo she's rubbish, piss weak voice and very boring. Now she's over 30 let's hope radio 1 do the ageist thing and stop playing her
August 7, 20197 yr Omg this thread, hating every pop star from left and right lmao They'll never be good enough for some of you.

August 7, 20197 yr Looks like Señorita has got the number one this week then. Decent climb for Aitch too, think he's almost assured of his first top ten single with this, and nice to see Dermot Kennedy finally appearing.
