[Jords]

Im the gat with the bass and drum going around like bom bom bom

[Shaun]

oooh, 212 was higher than I thought it would be.

[Novo]

Look at Murs outselling Jay Z and Kanye that is heroic stuff, David v Goliath x2 comes to mind

[Jords]

No Of Monsters and Men :[

[Me. I Am Salman]

Rihanna just missing out on the top 10 :bored:

[Jords]

oooh, 212 was higher than I thought it would be.

:worship:

Although majority of them will be the horrid censored version

[Me. I Am Salman]

Rihanna just missing out on the top 10 :bored:

Although it's still impressive considering it was released late 2012.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Was hoping Marina & The Diamonds would just scrape in at 100

[Me. I Am Salman]

Although it's still impressive considering it was released late 2012.

Also, what it being a slow song, and no doubt the majority of the sales probably being made when she didn't even release the video.

[Locke.]

Good to see Lloyd on there even if it does happen to be his worst song

[Jords]

Salman do you realise youre talking to yourself buddy?

[Me. I Am Salman]

Swear you like Rihanna :suspect:

[Jords]

I mean your quotes LOL. Yeah I love Ri although Diamonds doesnt do that much for me :laugh:

[Saph]

[Me. I Am Salman]

I mean your quotes LOL. Yeah I love Ri although Diamonds doesnt do that much for me :laugh:

It's her third best lead single, after SOS and Umbrella :bigsmile:

[Shaun]

Umbrella > SOS > Russian Roulette > We Found Love > Pon de Replay > Only Girl > Diamonds

[Me. I Am Salman]

SOS > Umbrella > Diamonds > Only Girl > We Found Love > Pon De Replay > Russian Roulette

[Saph]

Umbrella > SOS > Russian Roulette > We Found Love > Diamonds > Only Girl > Pon De Replay

[Me. I Am Salman]

SOS > Tainted Love

[Saph]

Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary > Tainted Love

[Jords]

We Found Love > Russian Roulette > Umbrella > Only Girl > SOS > Diamonds > Pon de Replay

[Me. I Am Salman]

Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary is horrid did she have to

[Jords]

Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary is horrid did she have to

I must admit earlier I did casually unlove that song on last.fm

Its ok but just that.

[Saph]

is this the new rihanna thread?

[Me. I Am Salman]

Let's hope she doesn't release it (most likely won't). Right Now next single please :amazed:

[Saph]

Right Now then NLA then LIP then Jump then new album ;)

[Me. I Am Salman]

LIP oh god no, Labrinth said she's a nightmare to work with he doesn't deserve any money that single would make

[Saph]

Labrinth? D:

[Me. I Am Salman]

Yes he produced it, it's his godawful voice on the song

[Jords]

no no

LIP - because its her best dance track and she needs something uptempo
Nobody's Biny - because its catchy and will sell well

then finish the era off with the lovely Half of Me

yepp

[Saph]

forgot NB, that should be a single instead of jump then. NLA has to be a single :hmph: even if its last minute like Man Down

[Saph]

ive only got 9% battery :( my chargers all the way down stairs

[Me. I Am Salman]

no no

LIP - because its her best dance track and she needs something uptempo
Nobody's Biny - because its catchy and will sell well

then finish the era off with the lovely Half of Me

yepp

I just mentally threw up

It needs to be Right Now > Nobody's Business > What Now > No Love Allowed and then Numb to wrap it all up.

[Saph]

she might not even make a new album this year :suspect: might be a greatest hits album

[Me. I Am Salman]

The Diamond Collection :amazed:

[Saph]

:worship:

I'd like that, then she could do a summer album release for a change in 2014

[Black Dagger]

sorry, doesn't rihanna already have an appreciation thread xxx

[Smithy]

Why the **** has this turned into a discussion about rihanna :bored:

[Benjamin]

Yeah, can we **** off with the Rihanna talk (as much as I like her) please?

[Jords]

Would be nicer if you were more polite about it

[Benjamin]

That was polite. :pipe:

[Smithy]

**** off jords you ****

[Jords]

:idc:

[Benjamin]

Not as polite as Smithy, mind.
