Rihanna Reveals ‘Rated R’ Tracklist

rihanna-rated-r

Rihanna has revealed the official tracklist for her eagerly (by some) anticipated LP ‘Rated R’. Due to hit stores November 23rd, the album boasts collaborations with will.i.am, Young Jeezy and Slash. Peep the tracklist below:

1. “Mad House”
2. “Wait Your Turn”
3. “Hard” feat. Young Jeezy
4. “Stupid in Love”
5. “ROCKSTAR 101″ feat. Slash
6. “Russian Roulette”
7. “Fire Bomb”
8. “Rude Boy”
9. “Photographs” feat. will.i.am
10. “G4L”
11. “Te Amo”
12. “Cold Case Love”
13. “The Last Song”

While this reads quite compellingly, I would bet good money on the material being sub-par – if  ‘Russian Roulette’ and ‘Wait Your Turn’ are anything to go by. I mean it says a hell of a lot when both the first and second singles are average at best (and I stress, ‘at best’); surely these are supposed to be what sells the album in the first place, right? Though Ms. Fenty’s piercing billy-goat bleats left me reaching for the ear-plugs, its hard to deny the production on her cuts were top notch. Now, everything just seems a mess.

Oh well, I imagine this will be re-released 500 times, with 100 singles until it does what the label hopes it will – sell respectable numbers. Mind you I find it quite ironic that the fellow in the post below is getting more positive feedback for his material than Ms. Fenty. And ‘No’, I’m not condoning anything, I’m just saying…

———-

In other Rihanna news, get ready for a full on Ms. Fenty media assault starting this week. Interestingly, the video for ‘Wait Your Turn’ premieres tomorrow, the same day ‘Russian Roulette’ becomes available on iTunes. The previously announced appearances on Good Morning America and 20/20, take place on Thursday and Friday respectively. Lastly, the video for the record’s official lead single ‘Russian Roulette’ is set to debut….FRIDAY (THE) 13th November. {She really ain’t helping ease ‘those’ rumours is she?}

    “Russian Roulette” has exploded on radio stations across the country, with literally hundreds of stations coming in early to add the powerful, haunting ballad into rotation. “Russian Roulette” has already garnered more than 20 million in audience nationwide, in just it’s first official add week. The “Russian Roulette” video is set to premiere on November 13th on 20/20 in ABC primetime.

    Chris Brown has yet to crack the top 10 with his song with 2 FEATURED GUESTS LMAO.
    RIhanna will outperform by a wide margin. Care to bet on this, SAM???????????????

    Seems like a solid tracklisting to me. Interesting song titles can sometimes translate into cool songs (Breakin’ Dishes, Sell Me Candy, Lemme Get That, Question Existing). Disappointed B**** I’m Special didn’t make the cut but really glad to see Te Amo.

  3. RatedR November 2, 2009

  5. steups November 2, 2009

    nope you’re not saying anything, the fella in the post released his single with one of the present best in hip hop, and the video, released the song on itunes, but where is it on bb hot 100?

    meanwhile, rihanna debuted on the hot 100 with just airplay after 1 week, no video, no collaboration, so tell me something, what is the airplay for i can transform ya? i can tell you the airplay for russian roulette 26+ million #FACT

    bloggers like you are hoping she fails, but it’s not going to happen, u mad????stay mad!

  8. Pinkpop November 2, 2009

    excuse my mistakes 😉

  9. Pinkpop November 2, 2009

    and just because radio is playing rihanna, doesnt mean anything… that’s the “bad” thing bout usa…. in germany airplay does do nothing for a chart position.
    that roulette song is boring as hell and radios just keep on playing in because its her not because its pretty good

  10. trucie November 2, 2009

    funny how you can’t stand rihanna and sandra rose can’t stand beyonce! how can I get a blog started so i can do some i can do some bashing on our sistas of color? Just like black women to try and bring each other down and you wonder why black men don’t want ya’ll. Pathetic!

  11. D-enda November 2, 2009

  12. parisian girl November 2, 2009

    sam if it hurts you so much to post things about her why don’t you stop?it’s getting annoying to read the same critics when i just try to read an opinion about a song,just tell us if you like or not but you’re not obliged to repeat yourself 1000 times(billy goat,ri-rilease…)

    I actually like Te Amo…if we get more along those lines guess it wont be too bad…the first two singles are horsehit tho…

  15. JezzyBaby November 2, 2009

    You are such a hater…LOL…you spent 2 hours writing such a negative post.

  16. Fatima November 2, 2009

    Remember the old adage, “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all?”

    Well Sam, here’s a new one: “If you can’t say anything NEW don’t say anything at all.”

    Billy goat? How many times have you said that expecting laughs? 3 dozen times? Quit saying the same damn thing or else just quit posting.

  17. Nye November 2, 2009

    I predict Rihanna is gonna debut over 500,00 in her first week. Her media blitz and continued Internet buzz is going to blast her to the top. Her CD being out that week will be huge. Two vid premieres and such. I am sure the Russian Roulette video is gonna be AMAZING!!!

  18. gina November 2, 2009

    Sam, u’re cracking me up with your spot on post- I get the Friday the 13th comment.:)

  19. rightround November 2, 2009

    Lol i love your posts on Rihanna, Sam! Keep em coming?

    Umm did someone say 500K + first week sales?? For this GARBAGE? ohh puh leease! She’ll be lucky if she pulls 100K and she sure isn’t getting #1 over Gaga, that’s for sure. Most of the buzz is negative buzz on the singles and besides blogs, who is even talking about her? I’ve heard more ish on Chris than I’ve heard about Rihanna!

  20. ThatAppleJuice November 2, 2009

    LOL! It took RR a week to debut? It took ICTY two days.

    Go sit down.

  21. ThatAppleJuice November 2, 2009

    Also, if y’all don’t like what Sam has to say, get the f*** off. It’s HIS blog.

    If he, or Trent, want to throw shade, they will do so. Go make your own damn blog if you want to kiss ass.

  22. whatever November 3, 2009

    some of these stans are sooooooo delusional lawd…FYI rumour is that her album is pushed back..so much for the 26 mil and 500k sales her stans keep saying..smh

    this is the most wierd setup ever..you debut a new song at the same time a vid for another song..this is just a disaster…this project wil be another mimi….they need to can it or change it asap….maybe they can remix it like they did gggb and push for two years coz that is what they will need to do to get something!!! smh

  23. lool November 3, 2009

    OMG, SLASH? THE GUNS N ROSES GUITARIST? :|:|
    I BET IT WILL BE SUPER :O
    I love Slash love love, shame for the persons that dont enjoy rock n roll, only bad black music like ciara and those pseudo singers.
    rihanna + slash = da bomb!

  24. netta January 5, 2010

    i agree and i’m from the god damned caribbean…..lets face it rihanna is not the best singer on the planet, she looks good tho. i can transform ya did sell alot more than russian roulette and i love ne-yo to death!!!! she is a bit sub par indeed. beyonce can release so many tracks cuz she is super talented plus her album sells, aside from that ppl have been filming at her concerts thats why she releases dvd versions.. its ok cuz i’m not a hater, everyone is entitled to their own opinions.. i like wait your turn tho
