Stay hasn't even been released in the US yet, so I wouldn't worry about it charting at all yet.. At least for another month or so.

I have to say, I was very close to throwing in the fan towel when Diamonds was released. Talk That Talk wasn't my favorite album and the era wasn't cohesive at all. I did like a few songs off of that album, mainly the first couple of songs. It was very front loaded in terms of quality. Those few songs helped fill in the Rihanna void while I waited for the next era, which I knew was only a few months away.

When I heard that Diamond was written by Sia, that just got me pumped up even more! I've been a fan of Sia long before she even hit the pop scene. Her song writing abilities are one of the most impressive in the industry. When I heard the song for the first time, though, I was completely let down. It sounded more like a Sia reject song if anything. So while Diamond blew up worldwide, I remained disappointed.

Aside from my disappointment with the lead single, however, I am really starting to love this era. The album is surprising well put together and cohesive. It isn't as patchy as most Rihanna albums tend to be in the sense that it has a natural "flow" to it. Regardless of how it was actually created, you can't tell by listening to it that it was created by a large group of people. Standouts for me include Fresh Off The Runway, Jump, Right Now, What Now, Stay, Love Without Tragedy - Mother Mary, and Lost in Paradise. What surprised me most about this album is that I liked more than just one or two songs off of it. I've been a fan of Rihanna for years, but I've grown used to liking a handful of tracks off of an album only to find out that the rest of them are fillers. This album has a more consistent sense of craftsmanship and quality to it. There's still a few fillers, but it's very well made when you look at the big picture! This album has quickly became my favorite Rihanna album ever!

I'm very excited about the upcoming Stay era. The song is a wonderful choice for the second single. Hopefully it will be well received after Diamond. I will never stop whining about pop culture if this wonderfully crafted ballet flops after a trash song called Diamond smashed worldwide. I'm sure it'll be fine, though, as long as her label doesn't slack off! It'll need a great video and promotion before it takes off. Most slower songs do.

Mine came out 7/7... Since Rated R has been my favorite Rihanna album... with Unapologetic following closely behind... The ballads on Rated R is what gets to me. Those songs are some of RiRI's best of her career. Stupid In Love, Russian Roulette, Fire Bomb (my fav!), G4L (kinda a ballad haha), Cold Case Love + The Last Song.

I chose Phresh Over Mad just because Phresh is longer and a bit more upbeat.. But I do LOVE Mad House

I couldn't really choose between Numb + Hard, I hate them both. Same goes with Loveeeeee + Rockstar. I do like the soft and seductive vocals on Loveeee though...

Pour It Up is my fav off of urban Unapologetic, which was super hard to choose over Stupid In Love, because I really love that song!

I like te Amo, but Mother Mary is so amazing. I actually like Mother Mary over LWT.. The instrumental part of that song is just SO GOOD.

I also love No Love Allowed, but The Last Songs is amazing.

And Lost In Paradise slays existence over the "wat da fuq Hole In My Head"... I actually just downloaded HIMH a few weeks ago and haven't listened to it more than twice :flop:... it's just such a mess!
