StrawberryBlond 14,087 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The problem is, new singles from a new body of work may not necessarily be successful because the public still usually think that the new ones are still from the same album. A lot of singers do this when an album's flopping but it rarely works. They may get a top 10 hit out of it, tops, but the public will generally not be so stupid as to think this was the original plan. Because Rihanna's not released a new album with these new songs on it, the public will still treat new releases like a continuation and therefore, not give her the sales as they already gave her the "big lead singles sales" push with 45S - they won't do it again so soon. I've noticed that most of the time, the only Rihanna singles to go to #1 are her leads, so if she doesn't have them, she won't stand a chance for the rest of the album either. This looks like it could be an album similar to The Elusive Chanteuse - first single failed, got re-branded as a buzz single and every so often, a new "lead" single was released until the album was finally put out but probably resembled a different product to the intial plan. It took Mariah 1 year 9 months to release that album (first single in August 2012, eventual album release in May 2014). Rihanna looks like she's going to have a similar outcome. I don't think the pop audience or pop radio will be interested in her after a break this long from an act who was always an annual release person.

Lucas 24,023 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 What if she remoove thoses 3 songs from it and release a total different sound?

Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Then it'll be still her #R8 since number 8 is always next from number 7. "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Poof 2,236 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Maybe the OP isn't referring to R8 as the eighth album Rihanna will release, but the music Rihanna recorded for the specific project that the fans called R8. Makes sense? Personally, I want Rihanna to release the music she was calling "timeless," but it seems that she has more commercial interests in mind now. I'm not a woman. I'm not a man. I am something that you'll never understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
