This should not come as a surprise. Rihanna stays selling units.
i hate to admit it but i bump some of her tracks. they got good beats and catchy as hell
eh, the only hot tracks she have is pon de replay and man down.i like her reggae shit,not a fan of that dance techno stuff she does.
This chick’s just a tool. LA Reid and other music bosses just lock the best writers and producers in a dungeon for days, and let them out once they churned a hit for her. That’s why The Dream probably made more $$ off Umbrella than she did.
Bet ya’ll didn’t know Adele sold 15 million albums last year, and she writes most of her own sh*t. Still, I club to her stuff all the time
So what? Drake and Wayne have singles and albums go Gold and Platinum all the time. YMCMB is the future of hip hop.
nigga please
who cares? this is supposed to be a HIP HOP SITE, NOT A POP SITE!
Rihanna wins again. She’ll be Platinum soon.
