  1. OK so I watched the final 3 episodes again spoiler for those who haven’t seen it but another theory here!!

     

     

    I feel now that maybe Jake is still in connection with Joan.

     

    Remember the scene where he offers to pay Linda’s 20K debt. Well I totally didn’t think anything of it yet now I’m thinking how is he willing to pay that debt? He must have large amounts of money to spare and it’s never been mentioned how he come into money.

     

     

  2. Most of my favourite songs of this year have been the sleeper hits and of those hits I prefer the sleeper one definitely.

     

    It changes though last year most of my favourite songs (Shallow aside) were all instant like smashes.

     

    I like to see the odd song debut and enter at #1 though from time to time.

  3. Maybe I’m being pessimistic, but I just can’t see it. I don’t think she cares about music as much anymore to do that, I just get that feeling :( I could be wrong, maybe she’s trolling us (what’s nu Rih) and she’ll be the omnipresence in music she was. Although I guess she’s got more to think about now with Fenty Beauty being so big and profitable for her! Bitch better have my make up

     

    The promo campaign for ANTI outside the US was...well you can’t even call it that really :’) I’m not sure about elsewhere but the only promo in the UK was the Brit Awards. I’d imagine a lot of ANTI’s poor start was the casual album buyers not even knowing she had an album out.

     

    I remember The Sun saying her career had gone up in smoke when ANTI only debuted at #7.

     

    It just seemed to come from nowhere and then other than the BRITS we didn’t see much of her. Even the tour was partly cancelled I had tickets for Sunderland and could no longer go.

     

    It held up well over time and streaming was kind to the album. But compared to like every other era before hand it didn’t have much promo in the UK but maybe the focus was just on the US?

     

    In the US the album was huge but that was just streaming being kind and selling well over time wasn’t it. Like it never had a huge sales week did it? I seem to remember even the US had promo issues though didn’t she cancel or pull out the Grammys last minute.

     

     

  4. I seen this on Twitter I don’t know where the source come from I screengrabbed it last night but this is what was said.

     

    “Rihanna keeps adding songs when she should really start to think what songs to put on her album since it is going to be a ten to twelve song album. There were thoughts to do a double album but what has won out is to do a single album of her favourite tracks she has recorded. She has picks that are going to be on it, but there are still some thoughts on adding certain tracks because she has a lot of good music recorded. So, the current problem and good problem to have in her eyes is that she has many good ideas and is still recording. She is just looking for all the gems”.

     

    “As of last month Rihanna was still requesting songs from producers and writers, she has so many great songs, but until she’s a thousand percent satisfied she isn’t putting out the album, and only Rihanna knows when that will be. She is well aware that her fans want the album and she, of course has been getting tons of pressure from the label to put it out, but she’s not the type of person to compromise her vision to give in to demands. She’s still promising to get it out this year, but no one is going to be that shocked if she pushes the release yet again, she does what she wants and no one can tell her other wise”

  5. I’ve never ever got the steps like comparison and I’ve heard a lot of people mention it in regards to Judas.

     

    If any recent song sounds steps like it’s no tears left to cry (but that’s not even a bad thing as that’s iconic in its own right)

     

    On Born This Way I hear Whitney in certain tracks definitely Fashion of His Love which sounds way more like I wanna dance with somebody than what Born This Way did Express Yourself.

     

    I do hear slight Madonna on some tracks though. Bad Kids reminds me of Michael Jackson too but it samples They Don’t Care About Us doesn’t it?

     

     

  6. I want a lack of features on this album.

     

    Preferably a full on Rihanna solo album.

     

    Rated R is still my favourite album from her so I’d love some obscure, different sounding productions but I can’t see it.

     

    Reggae Rihanna for a full album I’ll have to judge when I hear it in full. It’s a side of her that I like in terms of the odd song like No Love Allowed and Man Down but an entire album in that sound I just don’t know.

     

    What I will say is I think this album will show off her vocals.

  7. 01. We Found Love (feat. Calvin Harris)

    02. Only Girl (In The World)

    03. Diamonds

    04. SOS

    05. Umbrella (feat. Jay-Z)

    06. Russian Roulette

    07. Pon de Replay

    08. Work (feat. Drake)

     

    She certainly knows how to release an absolutely brilliant lead single :wub:

     

    Yesss! At the bottom two of your poll. Definitely the right decision :lol:

     

    She does have some amazing leads though one of the best artists for lead singles.

  8. I like it more than I did thank u, next on first listen tbh.

     

    I really hope this is just a stand alone single though. I really don’t want a new album from her tbh.

     

    We’ve had two from her in less than a year so if we’re getting yet another one anytime soon then I’m really nervous. Not because of quality just i kinda want a break from her musically. I wouldn’t want a new album from her until at least summer 2020.

  9. 1. Umbrella

     

    Umbrella is still one of the best songs of the millennium for me. So iconic and so so good! Everything you’d want in a song tbh. It’s the song I’d say what made her who she is today as well. 10 weeks at #1 (If the chart was sales only this would stlll have the record since 2000 too wouldn’t it!)

     

    Umbrella is just that song for me when someone says Rihanna. I’ve always loved it and it’s never gotten old.

     

    2. Diamonds

     

    Simple but effective. I really wanted something like this from her as leading up to this she’d released many huge dance numbers so to do something opposite and lead the album with it was bold. I’ve always loved this though both her version and Sias. Definitely one of her signature hits and her vocals are great on this too.

     

    3. Only Girl In The World

     

    Probably her most generic lead but one what’s such a bop I had to rank it highly. I often go back to this and it still just soars. This is one of the best dance pop songs ever in my opinion. One of her most instant songs ever for me too instantly just got me sold.

     

    4. Russian Roulette

     

    Her most different sounding lead. Dark totally unlike she’d done before that point but it works. Love the production and this was the first time I’d been like wow girl can sing!!! At a Rihanna song. A big turning point in showing she wasn’t just a puppet in my opinion. Would love more songs like this on R9.

     

    5. SOS

     

    The first Rihanna song I properly loved! And still do. Just such a bop. So catchy. It feels a bit forgotten as she’s had so many monster hits since but I do love this.

     

    6. We Found Love

     

    For this being her biggest hit as lead artist in the UK I just don’t get it. I feel like she was just riding on a high at the time and whatever led TTT the album would’ve been huge. It’s OK but I definitely find it very overrated. The chorus is just one sentence over and over again. Both Rihanna and Calvin have had way better songs than this. I never got the huge feel of it. At the time it came out I did love it but i still preferred most of the singles from Loud.

     

    7. Pon De Replay

     

    This has grown over the past year or so. I hear it all the time on nights out. It’s very Rihanna esque too. One of her least generic hits and it hasn’t really aged. I do feel like vocally she’s way better now.

     

    8. Work

     

    Just not for me :(. I love both Rihanna and Drake but this song is absolutely awful. Never liked it from first listen and it’s never grown on me so I definitely don’t go back to listen to it. Even when I play ANTI I skip this most of the time. One of her worst ever singles for me.

     

     

     

  10. 1. Hot Right Now

    2. Coming Home

    3. Ritual

    4. Lonely Together

    5. Carry On

    6. Summer Love

     

     

     

    Choosing between 1-2 was so hard!!!! Love them both.

    Coming Homes so underrated. But Hot Right Now won bc it’s the song what introduced me to Rita.

    Rituals still slaying for me.

    Lonely Together I feel people speak of fondly now bc of Avicii but it’s not really wow worthy.

    Carry On is ok but not one I go back to much and Summer Love is meh.
