Hey all and happy bank holiday weekend!

 

Round 4 is now open for the updated survivor.

 

Round 3 seen 17 of you vote and Unapologetic has now left the survivor with 8 of you (47.06%) ranking it as your least favourite last round.

 

Unapologetic is currently Rihanna’s most recent UK number one and it did win a Grammy as well as being her first ever US number one album. It become another 2X platinum album from her here in the UK and spawned major hits such as Diamonds and Stay.

 

It is however quite divisive on here with people feeling strongly each way about it. I did suspect it may have left when it did for me personally however I do prefer it some of the albums left. Unapologetic definitely has odd track listing though and I think had the tracks been in a different order it may have felt more cohesive. Diamonds especially feels oddly placed on the album. This was her also (up to now) her album to be released within a quick succession too (it would be the fourth year in a row with a new Rih studio album but over three years until her next album ANTI and obviously from that point musics not been a focal point of her career).

 

Get voting for round 4!

Anti now. May her imperial era remain!

I’ve went for Talk that Talk this time around.

 

It has some high highs on there but also some of the poorest album tracks and singles across her whole career (always felt a bit meh on the title track). I definitely remember feeling this was quite the step down from Good Girl Gone Bad, Rated R and Loud as a whole package.

Loud is easiest the weakest and hasn't aged as well (apart from Man Down career highlight)
