Wild Thoughts (with DJ Khaled & Bryson Tiller)
If quality and peak position were that related to each other then I would go for quality of course. But they are not so you can have a #1 and an awesome song at the same time. So why not hope for both? And what's wrong with wanting my fave to have continued success? I want to hear her on the radio with her new stuff, I want her to do well.

Flops Rate: The Results
The 'Love on the Brain' roll-out was so frustrating. First of all, it should've been released in Europe far earlier in the campaign (maybe even as the lead single); and second, with a video it could've become one of her most monumental songs. Sometimes stanning for Rih is so frustrating because of the lack of effort. As for the top3, my preferred order is this, 03. Bitch Better Have My Money 02. Kiss It Better 01. Man Down 'Kiss It Better' and 'Man Down' are both in my Rihanna top 3 (along with 'Diamonds') so that would be an amazing top 2.

Music Week/OCC: Shania Twain Singles & Albums
Wow 'Up!' seems like quite the underperforming era when you see the numbers like this.

Kendrick Lamar feat. Rihanna – LOYALTY.
Love the video and also started to love the song more because of it.

Eminem - Revival
Ready for the next Em & Rih collab tbh.

Wild Thoughts (with DJ Khaled & Bryson Tiller)
This will not peak at #1. Tbh a #1 with the new rules would be very unfulfilling anyway. I'm very happy with this being a UK #2 but I NEED R9 lead to be a #1.

Flops Rate: The Results
Who hurt y'all? 'Loveeeeeee Song' is such a dreamy, sad song. Some of the lyrics :snif:. ''Whoever turned you cold? You need to let 'em know''. Have y'all never been hurt or are y'all just cold ass mofos? I'm leaning towards the latter tbh. Future is pouring his heart out, not singing about money and hoes and y'all just ungrateful. Poor Rih bearing her soul on this track too; ''Why window shop when you own this?'' while getting NOTHING in return from BJ. And then when they get into harmony for the last chorus Rihs vocals leave me absolutely FLOORED as if she is using her last breath before she is taken off life support. It's the perfect song to get high to and reflect on your sad ass life. Luckily Pitchfork knows what's up and ranked it 11th among 52 of her singles.

WITNESS RATE: THE RESULTS
Very happy with the results so far. If 'Power' and 'Pendulum' had left instead of 'Mind Maze' and 'Déjà Vu' then it would've been the perfect top 9.

Second time very lucky: artists who beat the sophomore slump
Yeah, I thought that's what it meant as well.

How does Feels rank amongst this era's singles?
'Feels' is the best I think, Big Sean just kills it :wub:
-
Wild Thoughts (with DJ Khaled & Bryson Tiller)
This is not gonna go #1 in the UK.. Earlier this week on iTunes it was up to 92% but now it's down again to 67%. I feel that the moment 'Despacito' will be affected by the rule will be the moment that 'Feels' or any other song will overtake this.

lol my reaction to 'We Found Love' was also pretty negative IIRC. I thought it was super generic.

One of my favorites from 'Unapologetic'. I wish she would do more reggae songs.

ROUND 7 • LEAST FAVOURITE SINGLE
What I heard back in the day was that it was agreed upon with Bloodshy & Avant (the writers/producers) that 'Radar' would be released as a single from 'Blackout'. However, as 'Circus' was being recorded and ready to be released (and the label probably wanted to get those extra holiday sales so didn't want to delay the album) before 'Radar' could be released as a single it was tacked on 'Circus' as well. And as we all know it was released as the 4th single from 'Circus', presumably to fulfill the contractual agreement. Someone more into Britney can probably correct me.

Wild Thoughts (with DJ Khaled & Bryson Tiller)
Annoying if she keeps missing out on #1 hits but tbh a hit is still a hit. Longevity is more impressive than a quick peak anyway.

The Navy
Same. I don't have Twitter or Instagram so can't really get involved anyway.

I love 'Outrageous' :cry: One of my favorites from the Greatest Hits album. But it would probably be out already so it doesn't matter.

What Rihanna albums do you own?
Someone gifted me 'Anti' for my birthday last week so now my collection is complete :wub: I'm a bit annoyed the case for 'Anti' is so big though. It doesn't fit in my CD-rack :angry:
