I suggest she does, too.

I don't mean that in a hateful way. I love her, but I'm afraid she simply can't compete in the MPG leagues anymore.

Her last hit was when?

Her last album was when?

If she was seriously going to make a comeback to music, it would have to be huge. And I just don't think she has the passion for it.

What do you mean by 'do well'?

Having a large fan base will obviously make your music chart. Wether or not it stays in the charts, influences younger generations, impacts contemporary pop culture, inspires other artists etc all depends on the quality of the music.

If she was going to make a comeback she should've used the Superbowl as her opportunity to drop an album.

I think Rihanna fans overestimate her current commercial potential. It would be arrogant of her to assume she could just appear after (how many years absent?) and get a #1.

The music would have to be incredible. Think of how many artists have risen and established themselves in the zeitgeist since Rihanna last released.

This is the music business. If by "do well" you mean sell 250k, she would have to work with incredibly current writers and producers who already have their fingers on the pulses of at least two generations.

My 18 year old sibling doesn't care about Rihanna. They see her as an old artist who no longer makes music, and often talks about how Sia did Diamonds better "back in the day."

Will Rihanna do well if she comes back? If you'd asked me 5 years ago I would have said yes. Now, I'm really not so sure.

With all due respect to your analysis, Rihanna comeback right now would literally shake the music world like nothing in recent history.

Girl released her last album more than 8 years ago and is the 5th most listened to artist in the world on Spotify still.

I have no doubt in my mind she would do better than Taylor.

Not by any means i want this to sound hateful but i truly don't know how she still has stans  again i love her but the way she has simply mocked fans the last years with that so promised album is crazy

All I'm saying is, this is a bold statement.

Do I hope you're right? Absolutely.

Do I think you're right? I'm just not sure anymore.
