DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Rihanna invented the term "singles artist". I didn't realize her album sales were THAT bad though. Especially for the albums that came out pre 2010 when albums were selling alright. Oh well, her songs have had me dancing since I was 13. Sidenote: when she first came out I thought her and Ciara were the same person Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just not exceptional. Her albums had been selling good WW since AGLM.Want to see singles artists? Look out for Kesha, Flo Rida and Pitbull. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveandMagic 1,731 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Very well done, RiRi, though album sales are less than what I expected. Slay though. I like a lot of her singles, but I'm also the only person in the world who didn't like Umbrella. She has me until "Umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh", for whatever reason I can't stand that part! So of course the radio played it like crazy! Similar to S&M, though I really like it, I'm not crazy about the "S, S, S, And, M, M, M," part. The instrumental is infectious though. Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
