Atonement

Two of my three favorite Rihanna songs. 'Man Down' is my favorite though. It's so clever structurally and lyrically. I remember hearing it on the radio for the first time and thinking wow, a popgirl did THAT.

Enters Dutch top 100 (sales/streaming only) at #20.

Ever since I said this I've been hooked and I bought the album :lol:

'All Too Well' is the best thing she ever did tho and almost justifies her popularity.

Definitely 'Unfaithful'. I bought it on single in 2006. I think it's one of the last singles I ever bought. I always disliked 'Take a Shit' and it only sorta grew on me after I became a Rihanna fan and forced all of the songs I didn't like on me. Luckily I bought the original GGGB so I don't have to skip it.

'More Than You Know' is such a big TUNE. Also love the video. That girl is living the good life.

Still this is not the kind of song she needed. It won't hang around for ages and if the second single isn't a major banger, this will be remembered as the start of the implosion of Taylor Swift.

In The Netherlands it was pretty heavily played on radio but didn't chart at all thanks to its streaming figures being shite (it did OK on iTunes). I think it did pretty well in countries which have radio chart only or charts that don't rely that much on streaming. It would've been nice if she had given us a video for it. It would be great if next era she'll give more than 0 f***s about how it'll play out. A girl can dream, right?

I don't understand how P!nk has been able to hold up so well in sales. Good for her though.

I think this is her best album. Still, I miss something, as Umi has said, to really hook me in. But there are some great tunes on there. My favorites are 'Make Me', 'Love Me Down', 'Change Your Mind', 'Slumber Party' and 'Just Like Me'. On the other hand I really cannot listen to 'Coupure Électrique' because of her terrible accent.

Let's not forget that 'Too Lost in You' is a cover itself girls ;) (but yes this is really bad)

Very hot video. I really like it.

omg I can't believe it's 2017 and she's still only 32 years old!!! I know she was really young when the Sugababes started but it still seems crazy. So she was only 24/25 when she left the Sugababes in 2009 which is my age now. :manson:

Both are good but not among her best. I actually think I prefer 'This Is What You Came For'.

I can't believe she has the nerve to call a song ''Look What You Made Me Do'' after everything that has happened + her 3000 other songs in which she is the victim. Is that what feminism is about? She should just own up to her snake personality.

I want it.

'Pon de Replay' for me. 'SOS' grew on me but I didn't like it at all in 2006.

It's frikkin' #17 in the midweeks? A disastah.

I just made a ranking of Rihanna's singles yesterday so let's see which I placed higher. *looks* Apparently I preferred 'Needed Me' yesterday but I can imagine it changes quite frequently. Both are great songs but from both albums I ranked 3 other singles higher than these two.

oh I see how it is. fair enough :rofl: Honestly I don't think anything is coming this year. But I really hope it is.

BITCH the way I broke my heels RUNNING in here. This thread is based on nothing substantial :snif:

'Bet you wanna know I'm a cool bow'? bye bitch :manson: But yeah FOTR is a bewp and a half. (((((p.s. (i'm still not over you) I wonder why there seems to be two ways of writing the name of that song? On the back cover of my CD it says 'Fresh off the Runway')))))

Chris and Rih have so much chemistry when they are both kneeling in the sand, almost too afraid to look at each other. And the last shot of Rihanna bending her back is amazing.

Actually I always hated that sample and ultimately it's what brings the song down for me. I would've been fine with just an instrumental part. You really think 'Umbrella' aged more than 'Don't Stop the Music'? :huh:. On the contrary, I think DSTM is one of her songs that aged the worst.

I know a lot of other artists are releasing this fall as well but I don't want to wait until 2018 so I hope something is coming soon.
