      Comment by cold case love — February 22, 2010 @ 11:10 pm

    18. OMG…I just went on theybf and these people have way too much time on their hands. Someone posting under Rihanna’s name, Matt, Matthew Knowles, Jay-Z, Tina Knowles and Matthew’s jump off. It is funny but sickening at the same time. Some people have no life whatsoever. WOW

      Comment by Lawgirl — February 22, 2010 @ 11:19 pm

    19. @Rehab she’s probably flying to UK, I got a feeling she will go to the London Fashion show since she’ll be there anyway, She’s going to do this GMTV interview and Alan and later to Germany, so I guess we will have a week filled with pics ;-)

      Comment by Natalie — February 22, 2010 @ 11:20 pm

    20. @Natalie when is she going to Germany? ^_^

      @Lawgirl I noticed that too.

      Comment by cold case love — February 22, 2010 @ 11:23 pm

    21. That’s a fact!

      FIRE BOMB is one of the best (if not the best song she has ever recorded!)

      Also cold case love and the last song are very very inspirational.

      In other news…

      RATED R is #17 with 16.210 copies at %54 counted.

      Lat week it ended #35 with a bit more than 20.000 copies.

      This week it can be a big jump!!

      remember the album jumped 15 spots in australia and another 5 in the UK…

      Looks like the worldwide sales can be around 75K this week

      In the interview that RD posted she says that she feels really close ‘FIRE BOMB’ and RD highlighted that its also the favourite on the Sites poll…

      We have to focus on the current single.

      RUDE BOY has to be top 20 this weekk!!!

      So request and buy if you cannn!!

      Comment by zzmyth — February 23, 2010 @ 12:01 am

    47. @Natalie … thanks for the info :)

      Comment by Rehab — February 23, 2010 @ 12:11 am

    48. Agree zzmyth Firebomb could be a really big hit for Rih I don’t think rockstar is radiofriendly imo its good on the album but not radio kinda like wait your turn. I think firebomb should be next us single and te amo next worldwide single, I can see Europe eating up te amo

      Comment by kennyfenty — February 23, 2010 @ 12:12 am

    49. Hey you guys!!
      Cant wait for the full interview

      Comment by Raychel — February 23, 2010 @ 12:12 am

    50. can someone tell me?

      Comment by Ratedr — February 23, 2010 @ 12:12 am

    51. @Rate r Rihanna said there isn’t gonna be a reloaded and it was a fake tweet that supposedly came from the dream saying there would be a reloaded and Rihanna daily said on twitter they are positilve there will be no rerelease.

      Comment by kennyfenty — February 23, 2010 @ 12:16 am

    52. when did rihanna say that

      Comment by Ratedr — February 23, 2010 @ 12:17 am

    53. Also I think a rerelease kills the whole concept of the album. I think Rih is working on a new cd. Or at least she said she was working on a new cd on an old interview in Paris

      Comment by kennyfenty — February 23, 2010 @ 12:18 am

    54. k thanks..i hope she is working on a new cd. because once she is on tour it would be really hard to record songs..do you know how long her tour is gonna be??

      Comment by Ratedr — February 23, 2010 @ 12:19 am

    55. Cute dog in those pics

      Comment by Cammie — February 23, 2010 @ 12:35 am

    56. Could somebody watch this interview without smiling? I couldn’t

      Comment by Woahx3 — February 23, 2010 @ 12:36 am

    57. @ Kenny fenty

      yes there will be a release.

      its been confirmed by multiple sources. EMBRACE IT!

      It will increase the longevity of the album as well as sales.

      Comment by Nicky — February 23, 2010 @ 12:45 am

    58. RE-RELEASE*

      Comment by Nicky — February 23, 2010 @ 12:45 am

    59. I think they should wait until sales are at or close to 3Million worldwide before they re-release it.

      Once they re-release, she will have monster singles (DAVID GUETTA, DREAM, KE$HA, RYAN TEDDER) which will make the album sale at least 6Million+

      EVERYONE SHOULD BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!!

      Comment by Nicky — February 23, 2010 @ 12:47 am

    60. That bloody “little person” “exotic dancer” is hilarious.
      And all kinds of wrong, yes in the socio-political sense. Yet if she doesn’t mind ‘dancing’ for her
      supper it’s fine.

      Comment by Shane — February 23, 2010 @ 12:54 am

    62. I hear you nicky and i agree, we shall all see. they have losed their fricking minds over there at ybf,,,, dam ,,,, thats a crying shame.,,,,, natasha need to cut down on some of that mess,,,,,,,

      Comment by bodacious — February 23, 2010 @ 12:55 am

    63. @58. Nicky – the re-release is NOT CONFIRMED! It’s just a rumour! Right now they don’t plan re-launching Rated R in ANY form. No re-release, no remix album.

      Comment by Natalie — February 23, 2010 @ 1:00 am

    64. @nicky

      Good I want a re release so bad. what are the sources that confirmed it??

      Comment by Ratedr — February 23, 2010 @ 1:01 am

    65. all of us just have to trust the record labels , because after all they are the ones whos in the industry and sometimes we wonder why they did this are that and some how it works out . theres not a soul other than us and the rd family and all of us fans/stans was pulling for riri when russian roulette was dropped first but look at how good it did and its still making waves . i do not want to start nothing so i will leave that right there because people are so sensive about which one should have been first and this and that ,,, all we need to do is oiut part ,,,,, requesting,,,,requesting,,,, buying,,,,buying ,,,and telling others about how good the body of work is to us ,,, and we are helping we need to keep on pushing until we can’t push no more ,,,,,rd, family,,, WE HAVE TO TRUST THE RECORD COMPANY AND RIHANNAS JUDGEMENT ,,, AND THEN WE UP HOLD OUT PARTS ,,,,,

      Comment by bodacious — February 23, 2010 @ 1:01 am

    66. @Bodacious I CO-SIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE SHOULD PLAY OUR PART BY REQUESTING AND BUYING!!!!! IT REALLY FEELS LIKE A FAMILY IN HERE SO WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER AND PLAN OUR STUFF AND EXECUTE! FOR NOW ITS REQUEST AND BUY RIGHT?????

      Comment by RiRiDominica — February 23, 2010 @ 1:08 am

    67. @bodacious

      do you believe there will be a re-release

      Comment by G4L — February 23, 2010 @ 1:09 am

    68. i want that COLD CASE LOVE going to be the next single… i dream with that!! mmm.. I guess she is on the roof of a building up to commit suicide wearing a black trench coat and she is burning the rose

      (SORRY I DON’T SPEAK ENGLISH!!! LOL, THAT IS THE REASON 4 WHY MY ENGLISH IS SO BAD)

      Comment by Carlos Martinez — February 23, 2010 @ 1:15 am
