Galactic Mess 1,393 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Uh, Rihanna has been around for years now. Clearly she has less hype versus then, just like Lady Gaga has less now versus TF. You in danger, gurl... Just sayin' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zizka 1 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) I just wanna say once again, for the record, that I believe 'WHYB' will probably go top 3 in the US. However, (like you said) it's so much like 'WFL' that there's no reason for it not to #1 smash like 'WFL' did. For a track like this to peak at #3 is not acceptable for a singles artist like Rihanna - especially with promo and what looks to be a kickass video. No excuse. Truth is, Rihanna reconciling with Chris the way she did, with that "I don't give a **** what you think!" attitude, has damaged her image, and that's why her singles are underperforming. Marry the Night, the fifth single, had all that and more so what was the excuse when it flopped? #3 would be just fine lol. It just happens. I do think it will be a success however. :) Edited April 23, 2012 by zizka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) They were from her re-release Even then, someone many albums into their career shouldn't be held to a ridiculous standard that they need their 5th single to go #1. Katy/Gaga/Rihanna and even ADELE can't be expected to do that. Edited April 23, 2012 by Americano Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentino 4 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Uh, Rihanna has been around for years now. Clearly she has less hype versus then, just like Lady Gaga has less now versus TF. Sure had enough to give her her biggest hit to date just last year. :awesome: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Sure had enough to give her her biggest hit to date just last year. Oh, so a lead single = a 5th single? :toofloppy: BTW was Gaga's biggest hit to date, does that mean she had more hype then versus BR? No. Edited April 23, 2012 by Americano Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Oh, this is gonna be one of those "I know you are, but what am I?" kinda things. Not here for that. :giggle: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So because you think WHYB is #1 worthy, Rihanna is a flop if it doesn't? Even though arguably one of Gaga's most iconic singles (TEOG) only went Top 3?

Bjork 1 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 How's that Nelly single update Valentino? Flopping below the top 1000 again? :creepflop: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zizka 1 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 You can't compare 'MTN' and it's lyrical content (and sonically) to 'WHYB'. Oh...so what about Edge of Glory? Or You & I? Judas can slide for obvious reasons sonically. haha again, it just happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arturo 40,746 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't know why Marry the Night flopped. All of my friends that are whatever Gaga fans (they wouldn't even know a song like HML or So Happy I Could Die) said that Marry the Night was their favorite Gaga song. You and I should have flopped and it was one of Gaga's most successful U.S singles :flop: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 In the US she is. This IS the US thread right? You just keep making up reasons to try to discredit Rihanna. I don't even like her but you're just being irrational. It's alright, I suppose nearly all of Gaga's singles were flops then since they didn't go #1.
