Five years since

[Me. I Am Salman]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f7/Good_Girl_Gone_Bad.png

This month marks five years since one of the most iconic albums of the 21st Century, Good Girl Gone Bad. It was critically acclaimed, won a grammy, was hugely successful, spawned various #1s, spawned one of the biggest singles of the decade and marked a drastic change in image. It also killed careers and most importantly cemented her as one of the biggest stars of the world, a status she's retained even to this day.

Hate all you want but you can't deny it's impact. I don't care if she didn't write it, Elvis didn't write any of his material and anyway she took creative control.

If you're going to be sarcastic or clever please just don't post.

Why don't you go on Wikipedia and have a look dear.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Even if it wasn't critically acclaimed, which it clearly was, that isn't the thing that makes this album so significant

[Saph]

wait isn't it 6 years?

[Me. I Am Salman]

Omfg yeah it is D;

[Me. I Am Salman]

But wait, the Reloaded edition was released June 2008

[Black Dagger]

Can't have been that iconic then if you don't even know when it was released :sad:

[Smithy]

Good Girl Gone Bad received generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 72, based on 16 reviews.

Ahh yes critically acclaimed

[Novo]

Looks like Salman isn't a true fan after all

Oh go listen to Marilyn Manson or whatever indie rocker it is I don't care because its all crap anyway

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

[Me. I Am Salman]

73 does mean it was critically acclaimed.

Well I guess Gaga hasn't had a critically acclaimed album too
Anyway as I said before GGGB isn't iconic for it's critical response

Your fave is a tired ugly bitch who rode off the dance-pop trend. Her career is up, I'm sorry for your loss.

And here we see the typical troll response: reversion to insults when their argument falls through.

Pretty sure you can google most anticipated albums of 2013 and GaGa will be on all of them, im sorry rihanna isn't

7 albums in as many years and only 2 have been big successful era's it's not my fault rianal has to drop a ****ter album every year just to keep herself moderately relevant

[Black Dagger]

Arcade Fire will also be on that list :pipe:

[Me. I Am Salman]

80% of that anticipation is to see whether her career will hold up or if she'll flop, lbr

[Tom4784]

There's no such thing as a Rihanna album really, Just one or two singles followed by an onslaught of **** that isn't even worthy of being a B-side.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Moderately relevant - ok :laugh2: she made history in Paris this week
And how can Rihannas album be anticipated when no one knows if there even will be an album this year?

[Smithy]

80% of that anticipation is to see whether her career will hold up or if she'll flop, lbr

She just grossed $180,000,000 on a tour (her second tour i'll add) from a "flop" album, i'm sure she'll be fine,

[Me. I Am Salman]

7 albums in as many years and only 2 have been big successful era's

Not even taking into account top 10s or top 5s

AGLM had a #1 single
GGGB had 4 #1s
Loud had 3 #1s
Talk That Talk had one of the biggest selling singles of the year
Unapologetic was #1 and had a #1 single. Even the non singles have been successful - Loveeee Song has sold 500k

So you admit most of that anticipation is not because of the album itself. Glad we agree on something :)

Unapologetic was #1 and had a #1 single. Even the non singles have been successful - Loveeee Song has sold 500k

which proves my point only two of them had more than one #1 and I think only one sold more than 5 million??

one successful single or non singles selling 500k doesn't make an album era successful

[Smithy]

not too sure about that logic but ok sweetheart

My posts disprove his point but you conveniently worshipped it anyway.

[Me. I Am Salman]

one successful single or non singles selling 500k doesn't make an album era successful

So an era isn't successful if it doesn't have more than one #1? What kind of flop logic

And Unapologetic had Stay which went top 5 as well as the fact that she made history in this era

[Smithy]

An era is successful if it has strong album sales and songs that chart well, rihanna has a bit of both spread over 7 **** albums

[Novo]

Smithy completely destroying poor Salman here

Oh

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

[Shaun]

this whole thread is embarrassing

[Benjamin]

Nothing wrong with Marilyn Manson. :nono:

Plus I swear Rihanna copied one of his hairstyles...

[reece(:]

What's more important is that global smash Bionic was released 3 years and 2 days ago.

[Samuel.]

Has indeed been 5 years since 808s & Heartbreak

[Withano]

Rihanna is a **** but to be fair, the **** has sold a lot of songs. I'd imagine her current album will be the start of her decline in to the nothing she deserves now though and only a fool will disagree with that

[Kizzy]

So the guy likes rihanna!
Why don't you girls find somewhere else to play?

The same red do he in turn nabbed from Ziggy era Bowie.

The moral of the story is David Bowie.
