Report: Rihanna Sets Sights On November For New Album

Published: Thursday 8th Aug 2013 by David

The world may be holding its breath for a new Beyonce album, but if a report published by MTV Italy is anything go by, her ROC sister Rihanna is on course to drop a new album before her.

MTV‘s report below…

The publication shared:

“The tireless Rihanna does not want to give up the hectic pace that characterises his music releases and after the success of “Unapologetic “and a little break from Diamonds World Tour , Riri is planning to release a new album later this year.

The new material will be worked in the next few weeks and probably will materialise in November in the eighth disc of his career (!)”

It’s important to note that this report is has not confirmed by the star’s camp, even though it’s anything but far fetched, considering the star’s habit of pushing annual releases.

Keep it locked on TGJ for more on this developing story!

    Whats new?

    • Ballsy August 8, 2013

      I lot of Stan are gonna be mad that Rihanna isnt giving their fav some time to shine. Lmao

    • Ballsy August 8, 2013

      I’m here for what she has to say. Best believe she will be singing about how she feels.

      • Your fave is a FLOP August 8, 2013

        They aint letting Gaga take the cake that easily lmao!

      • Little Monster August 8, 2013

        Best believe Gaga will stomp all over Rihoena with ease she gave her fans time to miss her. She should take notes.

      • Your fave is a FLOP August 8, 2013

        That’s true. Maybe Rihanna is just hungry for that grammy in January but I agree she needs a break, and tbh Katy wont stand a chance against Gaga IMO.

      • I Stan 4 A Queen August 8, 2013

        Rihanna has to release an album damn near every year because she is afraid of becoming irrelevant lmao that’s what happens when you’re a gimmick. People get tired of it.

        Remember when Ashanti was the hottest thing on the block and JUST that fast she faded into thin air. Seeing how Rihanna has no talent to fall back on…………………that’ll probably happen to her.

      • Ballsy August 8, 2013

        Katy wont stand a chance next to CaCa? Please stop. Caca’s last album was S H I T and by the looks of this Caca’s new album will be S H I T.. The gimmick is played !

      • Your fave is a FLOP August 8, 2013

        Please stop. Katy had numerous wigs and became a sell out years ago.

      • MuiMui August 8, 2013

        Gaga and Ri has had music out at the same time before.
        Remember there can only be one #1 at a time,okay!

  2. Savannah August 8, 2013

    Girl take a break! A year at least! I wouldn’t mind a Rihanna CD in my stocking NEXT Christmas (2014) lol.

    • MuiMui August 8, 2013

      You take a break from that welfare line.

      • MuiMui August 8, 2013

        Tell Beyonce to take a break,she has been going strong since back in the day. Bey has made a boat load of money and is still working harder then Ri ever did right now .
        And not any one is telling Bey to take a break.

  3. Krissy August 8, 2013

    But she only released two songs from this album? What happened to the PIU video? I swear she doesnt give people time to cherish her music. Shes too damn thirsty. But whatever Ri…

    • MuiMui August 8, 2013

      Thirsty just like her Mamma Beyonce.

    • COCKINESS August 8, 2013

      as a rihanna i must agree. she hasn’t had a proper era since loud.

  4. Lovebird (roar – prism – 10.22.23) August 8, 2013

    Well Unapologetic was about Chris Brown and that heifer isn’t around, so on to the next one I guess.

    Sorry Riri but you need a break honey, it better be an unapologetic re-release because I’m here for Prism this fall.

  5. Hadley August 8, 2013

    No. And this is no hate or shade. I dont think this is a good idea if true.

    • MuiMui August 8, 2013

      What can u do about it if she does,though.

  6. Your fave is a FLOP August 8, 2013

    Riri will add to the list of comepetition. Katy vs. Gaga vs Riri. Sounds good to me!

    • I Stan 4 A Queen August 8, 2013

      Rihanna CANNOT compete with Katy Perry and definitely not GAGA. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Took this girl 7 albums to get a number 1, barely pushing six digits…she will FLOP again if she comes out with them.

      • Ballsy August 8, 2013

        in the US. The USA is not the world. She was getting number 1s elsewhere on a consistent basis so get it straight!

      • Your fave is a FLOP August 8, 2013

        7 albums and 7 grammys can compete with a gimmick. She doesn’t to do re-releases either.

      • MuiMui August 8, 2013

        I STAN 4 A QUEEN
        Rihanna can compete with anybody with their b***,s pointing to the ground.

  7. Lovebird (roar – prism – 10.22.23) August 8, 2013

    So more competition, that Beyonce album is never coming out.

    • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) August 8, 2013

      H**

    • Jas August 8, 2013

      You better hope Beyonce’s album never comes out…Because if she, Rihanna, Gaga, and even Katy were all to release at around the same time. Rihanna would come in at last place. As usual.

    • MuiMui August 8, 2013

      truth(the new and refined TRUTH
      You need to take a chill pill.

      Ri might come in last that is more then we can say about
      Forty different artist who has dropped on are around the same times as She has dropped in the past.
      You know Alicia,Mary,Keshia,Ciara, Bey and other artist
      Ri holds her own thank you very much.

  8. @MRSORACARTER August 8, 2013

    Girl. I just…. *sips my martini and twirls back to work*

    • truth(the new and refined TRUTH. f*** icki she done now i just slay a b****…yew mad??) August 8, 2013

      And im twirln besides u hunty. (We pivot, slings our lacefronts and throws jackets into crowd chile…WE FIERCE!!) #WATCHESBEYONCESUPERBOWLPERFORMANCE

    • MuiMui August 8, 2013

      Ri still in her own lane doing it her way, while bytches sit on the side lines and tries to kill her name and Image with their key boards.

  9. RG2 August 8, 2013

    Im not tryna be mean b/c I do like her, but I think that taking a break may help her grow more as an artist. I feel as though “unapologetic hasn’t been given a thorough run yet. Atleast two more singles; possibly “Lost In Paradise” and ” Jump” or even “Numb”. I just don’t want her to become over exposed by releasing an album at the end of every year. Its likea pattern now: November release, promo in November-December, tour during Spring and Summer, New album in Fall.

    • MuiMui August 8, 2013

      Just because this article is printed and we are commenting on It, that Do not make it So,Until its Official, keep telling her what she should and should not do.

      • RG2 August 8, 2013

        I’M not telling her what she should do or not do, I’m just giving an honest opinion as a fan. But thanks…I guess.

  10. Little Monster August 8, 2013

    She wont stand a chance against Gaga. This yearly album thing is becoming played out. She will flop hard. She churns out her music like a fast food factory which is why her only memerable songs out of that huge catalogue is We Found Love and Umbrella.

    • Lovebird (roar – prism – 10.22.23) August 8, 2013

      LOUD

      • Little Monster August 8, 2013

        And?

    • Dray August 8, 2013

      If that yodeling tragedy is any indication of what your fav has to offer. . it’s safe to say Googoo is a definitive -10 on the threat list.

      • Little Monster August 8, 2013

        You wish your little threat list was real.

    • stella August 8, 2013

      Still 2 more than GaGa.

    • MuiMui August 8, 2013

      LITTLE MONSTER It is okay to flop,just know that everybody can’t always win but they can keep right on working and letting their work speak for itself. People know all about Gaga and Her Money Making abilities but shes not the only one, and as long as any of those be it big are small is doing their thing Ri can do her’s we will worry about Her flopping after the Music Drops.

  11. RICHIE_RICH August 8, 2013

    She is killing herself. No shade nor hate from me, girl take a damn break and enjoy some me time.

    • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 8, 2013

      Actually i agree, Like b**** go away and Enjoy your Life, Not that Anything can touch you.

      I don’t think she is doing any albums this year, but the thirst for a new Rihanna album is real.

    • Drew August 8, 2013

      I am loving your gravatar picture.

    • MuiMui August 8, 2013

      If Beyonce has been working non stop since 1997 with the exception of Her Baby, then Ri can do the same. Support her are not if she drop the show will and must go on.If she don’t drop then we will know.
      People need to know that its just as easy to change the channel, dial are not chime in just as easy as it is for her to go and take a break.
      If she chose to burn herself out then let her its her life and only she can live it.
      People have not gotten sick are tired of Beyonce Hustling Money ways, dam.

      EVEN When Bey is on break it has been proven that she works just as hard if not harder. I remember a break Bey took, and doing that time she dropped New Fragrances, Opened a Boutique in the Uk ,did Loreal Ads and sold some bottle water and was still in the Studio at Undisclosed Location Recording her A!s off, So.

      And Besides that look back at how many times Beyonce has Re Dropped Her 4 Albums and not a single word has been mentioned other then how big Bey sales are Over Her Daughters. And with Ri its always about how shes over worked and she need to go and sit her a!s down some place.

      • MuiMui August 8, 2013

        Peoplegetting all Bent out of shape and they have said several times that Bey was dropping and Nothing, Nada and this is much to do about nothing just a ploy to get hits.
        Learn how to look at a picture of Bey in the studio with Producers and then them saying what the music is going to be like and they have been saying that about and writing about Bey Music for Months Now. The Bey Hive Double
        Dares anybody to even ask the Question about when Bey is going to drop,sh!t be for real people.
        People need to know that if they don’t stand for something they will fall for anything the Media feed them!

  12. Little Monster August 8, 2013

    What happened to the mess that was Unpurchased? Did she give up on that or something? Cos thats the teas I am getting.

    • RICHIE_RICH August 8, 2013

      Or is it that she’s in debt , and has no choice but to work(paying ROC)….who knows either way baby girl needs a break.

      • HOWYOULIKEIT August 8, 2013

        Yes exactly b**** always had huge debt. and she is being sued right now. sam is late. gotta expose the h** asap

  13. jay scorpio August 8, 2013

    DIAMONDS WORLD TOUR doesn’t wrap up until November 12… This would only mean this album would be rushed.

    So many great tracks on UNAPOLOGETIC, i’d be disappointed if they can this album so fast… Sigh

  14. ehh what? August 8, 2013

    if true, it’s a surprise? no. mmhh. *shrugs*

  15. I stan for no one August 8, 2013

    Wow!Didn’t see that coming! *Sarcasm*

  16. Molly August 8, 2013

    So much competition bout to go down Katy Rihanna Britney & Gaga??????? I wonder who will come out on top..

    • channel_ROMAN August 8, 2013

      How about ALL of them. Kanye, J. Cole, Wale and Jay Z had #1 releases. Why can’t it be the same for the girls? Glad that they’re all coming out at the same time. I’m excited.

  17. Slayty Perry (ROAR) August 8, 2013

    Unless she’s releasing a light pop album like Loud she won’t stand a chance competing with Gaga and Katy, possibly Britney. She should take a break. Her usual release slot is full of other acts releasing.

    • Lovebird (roar – prism – 10.22.23) August 8, 2013

      *LOUD*

      • Slayty Perry (ROAR) August 8, 2013

        Consider how her last two albums underperformed and were poorly handled though. Gaga Katy and Britney are bringing their A game.

    • stella August 8, 2013

      Well, GaGa and Katy never take risks, they always make generic pop bubblegum tunes. If they tried songs like Man Down, Russia Roulette or something similat they would flop. Look at Kty Hudson, only 100 copies.

  18. Ciara4Ever August 8, 2013

    YAWN this ET tribute act is OUTSTAYING HER WELCOME!

    • Miss M August 8, 2013

      ET tribute act *Dies*

  19. Lovebird (roar – prism – 10.22.23) August 8, 2013

    So let’s look at our Fall schedule;

    – T***** Caca
    – Katy Perry
    – Rihanna

    – Ariana Grande

    and possibly

    – Justin Bieber

    hahahahah Beyonce is scared, that album will never ever come out. I bet Rita Ora will release album #2 before Beyonce releases her next album.

    We are more likely to know when Jesus is coming back than when Beyonce will release that album.

    • Your fave is a FLOP August 8, 2013

      Beyonce needs a seat, that album is not coming this year. Bieber needs a seat also, his antics are getting annoying.

  20. POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 8, 2013

    It is Unconfirmed, also no news about a New beyonce Album this year, so we all, navy and hive, need to have several seats and watch the other girls get a little shine. 😆

    She paid “unapologetic” dust , She gonna be dragged if she released another album, B**** is yet to release the music video to “PIU” , Era is messy more than TTT and It is sad actually. 😕

    • Dray August 8, 2013

      I must agree on this. . .sadly. Rih needs to ride out UA. She has a couple of videos she needs to give the Navy before signing on to the next

      • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 8, 2013

        Rihanna Let her Navy carry the Whole Era themselves This year, Like we Do all the work, she gave us only 2 Singles and A Tour and that’s it.

        She need to get back to carry the Era herself, Personally i need “Jump” , I need ” Half of Me” , etc… PLUS the MV for PIU, It is Too messy For words, but We know how she feels personally this era so we won’t pressure her that hard, we love her, But get back to work mama!!!

        papa fenty denied the “new album” rumors and told her to sit her ass down and take a break ,robyn will do just that.

      • . : : h 2 o : : . August 8, 2013

        “Half of Me” would flop hard.

  21. boo boo jones August 8, 2013

    On a serious note though, I’m not here for a new Rihanna album, like girl you NEED A F****** BREAK. Go away for a year.

  26. HOWYOULIKEIT August 8, 2013

    Sam u’re late. Rihanna has been sued. AGAIN .Hundreds of thousands of $$$
    The h** ordered a huge ceremony for her grandma funeral but didnt pay for it. Sam expose the hos asap.

        Only in the delusional language that is Navi.

  28. pat August 8, 2013

    i love Rih, I think Def Jam is hell bent on her breaking that Madonna record now…I hope she gets a break.

    • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 8, 2013

      you Act as if Rihanna is a 30 YO Fading has-been, she is still young, she gonna break it sooner or later With her normal rate.

      Give it to her baby Like Boom boom Boom. 😉

  29. The Boy Toy August 8, 2013

    I don’t want another album this year. She totally paid TTT and UNA dust and she will do the same for the album this fall. I want a massive campaign for album #8!

    • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 8, 2013

      MTE.

      I want Album 8 in Nov. 2014.

  30. Brazilian Beyonce!!! August 8, 2013

    Why would beyonce be scared? Lovebird?
    We are talking about a b**** who released a fully RnB during the EDM era? While Born This Way,Teenage Dream,LOUD/TTT,21 were released and dominating but she released 4 why would she be scared? Tell me! You’re clearly dumb

    • Drew August 8, 2013

      Stop giving IT attention.

    • caribbean native August 8, 2013

      B**** SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS A BIG ENOUGH STAR TO PULL THAT S*** OFF, CLEARLY!!!!!! SHE ISNT CUZ SHE FLOPPPED OH SO HARD

      • Drew August 8, 2013

        Sit down. Beyonce said herself she wasnt concerned about charts like she was in IASF before the album was even released. Not every artists main focus and idea of success is based on the Hot 100.

      • I Stan 4 A Queen August 8, 2013

        AND IT STILL WENT TO NUMBER ONE. AND IT IS STILL CHARTING.

        Lemme guess your fave has 7 albums and ONE #1 so you mad? Oh.

    • caribbean native August 8, 2013

      all i need to say to 4closure is flop flop flopitty flop #deal

      • Jas August 8, 2013

        4 is far from a flop when compared to the majority of Rihanna’s albums though…No shade.

      • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

        4 sold 2. 1 crapy million. UNA AND TTT, EVEN RATED R ARE OVER 3

      • Jas August 8, 2013

        2.1 mill? Whoa you obviously need to upgrade your stats because “4” sold more than that. But even if it did only sell 2.1 mll…your point lmfao? UNA, TTT, and Loud had how many hit singles in comparison to “4”???? “4” is a full blown R&B album with ZERO HITS and its overall sales were just as good as UNA and TTT. Not to mention the fact that its first week sales alone were much better than UNA, TTT, and Loud lmfao. So yeah….

  31. caribbean native August 8, 2013

    YUSSSSSSSSSSSSS 8cries* I COULDNT GO A WHOLE YEAR WITHOUT RIHANNA TBH! #DEAL

  33. ENOUGH ONIKA (KMART QUEEN) August 8, 2013

    This girl seriously has no life outside of her career. Every time Chris leaves, she can’t take a break. Girl get a life outside music, go to rehab, something, d*mn.

    • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

      Ermm, she is viben out with her fam, friends in her lovely island. How is that not life? She was on a yacht with her model friend in Monaco, how is that not the fabolous life?
      Just before she went to chill with da fam in barbados , she purchased diamonds from Neil Lane in west hollywood.

      How many black women at 25 are living it up like this? If you think that is a struggle life, you must be Queen of sheba, but you are not, you are working 9 – 5, Struggling to pay taxes, health insurance and you will never ever BE ON A YACHT IN MONACO or be able to bop into a store a buy diamonds for your mommy.

      Fall back hater. Also, she is west indian immigrant, making goof of the opportunities white america has given her. You are a lazy black american who does not work as hard as immigrants that is why you are at the bottom, in projects, ghettos and hoods. All immigranst, whether Africa, asian, arab, latin, eastern european, work hard like Rih for a better future. The only losers that complain about this type of Immigrant work ethic are the loser lazy black americans who do not work hard and just collect welfare checks.

      Trust black america to berate a girl for WORKING HARD. I guess hard work is a crime to black america, hence why they commit all the violent crime and end up on death row.

      Rehab? For whatt? Working hard? Having fun at clubs and and on her island? Dammm, 99% of the population need rehab then. Immigrants are better than black americans. Both my parents emigrated to america .

      • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 8, 2013

        Yessssssss.

      • Molly August 8, 2013

        Yes let that b**** have it,!!

      • The Evil Eye August 8, 2013

        LOL. There were enough spelling and grammatical flubs in your post to make an idiots stew. Apparently your parents didn’t work hard enough to be able to hire your dumb ass a tutor.

        Rihanna is the epitome clown. She is a worthless, big headed, smelly foreigner with a fat nose and an ugly voice who is as up to her neck in debt as she is in bruises from Chris’s fists (before he dumped her for his more attractive ex.) THAT is the real reason her totally talentless ass HAS to “work hard.” She doesn’t have the clout to not. If she didn’t do what Def Jam told her, she would be dropped back to the slums of that rat hole country of hers, selling apples by the road while singing off key to “Hero” again.

    • Dray August 8, 2013

      I know. . .seething this long must wear you out

    She knows what she’s doing so we will see

    • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 8, 2013

      usually she does, but This is just Not So right.

  36. Beyawnce August 8, 2013

    NO RIHANNA, Take a break please , You working way too hard

  37. Ciara is everything August 8, 2013

    Ugh h** sit down take a nap like wtf are you releasing another album for w****… Smh she doesn’t stand a chance against lady Gaga..

  38. JER August 8, 2013

    Lol and she wont stop. It just wouldnt be November without a new Rihanna album. Hell bring the b**** on at this point f*** it.

  39. Valerie (Barb) August 8, 2013

    Shes determined.

  40. Marley August 8, 2013

    She paid unapologetic dust though.
    I dont see why she is doing this. Does she even care about her music or does she just love the spotlight? I seriously believe she makes music out of boredom. Because unless the song is about Chris Brown 90% of the time she looks bored and disconnected when performing them. Even the uptempo ones.

    • Beyond Amazing (Cause Bey really is!) August 8, 2013

      I feel like she never cared about the art of music, she just cares about the fame that comes with it. If she cared about her “art” I use that loosely with her, any who she would get a vocal coach, perfect her performances, she would release meaningful music, not pop tart hits. Yes there hits that I do love but still there still pop tart hits.

  41. Britney stan August 8, 2013

    She over works herself.

    • xoxo August 8, 2013

      rotflmao at “over works herself”you are jokig right?

  42. rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

    Rihanna is an immigrant. Unlike lazy black americans like Ciara, immigrants work hard. Why do u think the asian and african community are better off than crime ridden black americans who are STILL the poorest group in USA?

    AT 25, I expect and healthy immigrant woman to work her ass off in the USA. This is what makes the american dream. The harder you worker, the better life opportunities u have. If u behave like those lazy black america, and turn to complaining or race card bating, then u will go nowhere in life. JLO done the same thing, She has never taken time off. Her parents are immigrants from PR. She used to study in teh day, then do dance class at night. She had movies, music, TV, etc, Hence why she surpased black women to be the hollywood queen.

    Zoe saldana: Immigrant parents from DR and PR. Since 2009 zoe has filmed back to back movies and says she is not stopping. Immigrant mentality! . WE DONT STOP, unless god tells us too. How many 25 year old retire? OR take breaks? Can you h*** take break from your crappy 9 – 5 jobs? So why would a girl wort 184 MILLION USD quit her job.

    And for those who say she has no life? She took a 5 star vacation in feb to Hawaii; She in now at her home in the islands with all the fan; She took a vacation with her buddy cara delvigne in monaco; That is more vacations than all you h*** take in your life. Not to mention, she flies on private jets and first class, you h*** fly coach on jet blue.

    She can afford suites and villas, you h*** stay at the holiday inn or a hostel.

    This is great! I mean, Tom cruise and em, drop a movie every year. So does leo dicaprio. We all know that the new LP will have a new sound, look and theme. She will never bore us. She flew kuk harrell to portugal to record, and Nicky romero talked off making a ” out of this world ” new sound.

    I cannot wait! I love rih music. When she gets to her late 30’s she can wind down and start a family, but, now, at 25, she need to strike! She is the top POP STAR AND SHE KNOWS! Why thrown in the towel to allow bitter haters. Also, she loves what she does, this is her dream. And her dream come true! Nice to see that she is financially taken care of her family and donating millions to build a hospital to help poor bajans.

    God will bless her. I hope to see her in more movies. I know she has the Steven spielberg lead coming next year. Styled to rock is coming next month. Slay, queen.

    This IS AMERICAN DREAM. She came to this country less than 10 years ago and now look at her!

  44. rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

    NEW ALBUM:

    Kuk hurelle vocal produced some tracks in Portugal

    Nicky romero is doing something cray cray.

    She could go teh daft punk route

    She could work with Pharell

    • Dray August 8, 2013

      In 2014 I would LOVE TO SEE her work with Pharell

      • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

        Watch styled to rock! His s*** ass is one of the mentors. She worked with Pharell for UNA, but that song did not make the cut, After BL and Daft punk, her Pharell need to collabo HARD.

        I want 70’s donna summer funk Rihanna.

      • Dray August 8, 2013

        Ooooooooo. . Donna Summer teas would SLAY

      • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

        I think Rih can do a song liek ” I will survive ” or ”’Love to love you baby ”

        Complete with 70’s curls and makeup.Think studio 54, which rih would of owned if she was around in the 70s. Can u imagine Rih with 70’s platforms.

      • Dray August 8, 2013

        Yaaaassss. . Studio 54. . . . . .Rih would own that!!! I am so hearing her sing Love To Love You. I can so hear it

    • Dray August 8, 2013

      I would be twirling like a gay Smurf if she were to do I Will Survive. . I would be catching my LIFE with that

      • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

        LOL LOL LOL LOL OMG

  45. HOWYOULIKEIT August 8, 2013

    Sam u’re late. Rihanna has been sued. AGAIN .Hundreds of thousands of $$$
    The h** ordered a huge ceremony for her grandma funeral but didnt pay for it. Sam expose the hos asap.

    • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

      Well, she can use the 3 million GBP she won from TOPSHOP TO PAY THEM BACK.

  46. rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

    I told u beyonce would cut her hair off to compete with edgy queen rih. Expect to see beyonce in Jordan sneakers, Rodarte and ray bans tying to look hella cool.

    • BEYHIVE_MINAJ August 9, 2013

      You sound plain dumb.Shes from Houston.the dirty south.H-Town. HIP HOP QUARTERS. She’s been rocking Jordan’s,ray bans,snap backs,and rod arts since 1997.but then again,I don’t think you even know how to do your research

  47. Barb B**** August 8, 2013

    Oh she got sued… That explains why.

  48. Barb B**** August 8, 2013

    I like some of Rihannas music. But she needs to have a seat now.

    • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) August 8, 2013

      NIcki is a flop though…..

      • Barb B**** August 8, 2013

        And your fave is a has been.

      • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) August 8, 2013

        Her new single just hit 1 million in sales. Nicki, 3 years later does not have a #1 single.

      • Barb B**** August 8, 2013

        Yawn

      • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) August 8, 2013

        Yep, that’s what i do when I see Icki’s sales.

  49. rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

    Everyone is scared! They know rih will end careers. Lady gaga could not stop Rih her prime, when she came out swinging. She will never stop her now. She has one last chance with the GP; HER crazy devil looking antics cannot save; she needs to worry about the GP than Rih.

    RIH WILL TAKE THE YEAR OF 2013. There is talk that her and madonna done a ‘ secret project’

  50. rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

    Poor rita whora and beyonce, they will never ever break through. They should fine new jobs.

  51. Jas August 8, 2013

    @Lovebird

    I don’t know why your’re laughing. You better hope Beyonce’s album never comes out…Because if she, Rihanna, Gaga, and even Katy were all to release at around the same time. Rihanna would come in at last place. As usual.

    • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

      No one is scared of beyonce. This is not 2003 and even in 2003, beyonce LP was not the biggest of that year anywazy. She has never dominated. She was, at that time, the biggest black female. But not anymore.

      • Jas August 8, 2013

        First off, I never said “Rita Ora Will Never Be Rihanna”, jump into this conversation…lets just get that established. And idc if this is 2003 or not. Beyonce has always been a better album seller than Rihanna….same goes for Mother Monster. No shade just the truth.

  52. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) August 8, 2013

    She sohould release a compilation album. Mariah did 8 years after her debut.

    • Jas August 8, 2013

      That’s actually a good idea!

      • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) August 8, 2013

        Why the sarcasm??

    • Jas August 8, 2013

      Who said I was being sarcastic?…I’m serious.

  53. rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

    What I want from Era 8:

    I want daft punk style EDM; french 90’s electoro.

    I would love a ray of light type sound. Something like Frozen

    More island style singing.

    Visuals: I want the grey long super hero hair and short curly.

    Videos – I want more edge and fierceness

    Clothes ( my fave part ) MORE MORE MORE GIVENCY. MORE TOM FORD. MORE BALMAIN. MORE S*** AND EDGY.

    Christmas has come early. BOOM!

  54. Jas August 8, 2013

    Gaga alone could SLAY Rihanna’s motherfucking life. So it would best if she take a break. Because Mother Gaga is going to be on her A-game this era….just saying.

    • Dray August 8, 2013

      Is this a joke? Are you really serious? The delusion is spreading among the monsters like a rampant S**.

      • Jas August 8, 2013

        I’m the one who should be laughing. Since your’re the one who stans for an artist with minimal talent and inconsistent record sales lmfao.

      • Dray August 8, 2013

        Rih is ranked in Billboards top 20 of all time so where and WHO is Gaga but the crazy bytch singing among trees and lily pads? It’s useless arguing with crazy people. . .you monsters need to crawl back underneath some crystals like your motha.

      • Jas August 8, 2013

        Gaga could wear a motherfucking tree for all I care…She’s still a better album seller, more talented musically and vocally, popular, and held to a higher standard than Rihanna is in the music industry. Sorry….

    • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

      So why didn’t she in 2009? When rih has her personal problems? WHy did she not in 2011?

      When is gaga gonna slay rih down? I have been waiting for gaga to slay riri since the start of her career.

      • Jas August 8, 2013

        Well lets see…Gaga obtains a substantial amount of talent. Rihanna does not…and She also has MUCH better record sells. Rihanna really doesn’t stand a chance against her, that’s why she’ll never take a break. She has to release an album ever year just to stay afloat. No offense.

      • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

        GOOD FOR HER! But how does that affect rih getting number 1’s ? Booking covers? Getting movies deals? Endorsement deals? Going on tour?

        The beatles and Rolling stones were both big band. How does Gaga cancel out Rih, when they have nothing in common?

        That is liek saying, a new sushi restaurant like Nobu, will s*** down a chinese restaurant like Mr chow. The owners are good buddies and help each other out.

        Actually, gaga has shut down beyonce! Gaga IS NOW premiere AMERICAN POP star of this generation. That is why has been Beyonce had to jump on a GAGA record.

        Nike and Addidas seem to work well, despite being in competition. I have both sneakers. I eat at Nobu and MR CHOW AND I have GAGA AND RIH ALBUMS. This, my friend, is why GAGA WILL NEVER SHUT ROH DOWN, read any marketing book and you will know why…..Rih offers the consumers, something completely to what gaga is selling.

        Now, if Rih was a carbon copy of gaga, then she will not last BUT RIH DOES NOT COPY NO ONE! She does not take a break cos she does not HAVE TO, she actually has public DEMAND LIKE APPLE PRODUCTS.

        But releasing an LP every year to ” stay afloat ” is the best move as business woman like RIH CAN MAKE. THE GENERAL PUBLIC EAT IT UP LIKE BREAKFAST.

        Now, if she was dropping and no one was copping, then we have a problem. At least she does not have to push her album back to stay afloat like MARIAH, BEYONCE, RITA WHORA, CHRIS BROWN, BRANDY, KELLY ROWNAD,CIARA AND MOST OF THE INSDUSTRY.

      • Jas August 8, 2013

        Ok…was the novel you wrote really necessary???? And Idk why you are criticizing artist who push back their albums.When some of those artist you mentioned are still selling out more shows and making more money than Rihanna is…with no album out at all. I’m not even trying to be shady but the truth is the truth. Despite the fact that Rihanna’s release 7 albums, she’s still an inconsistent album seller. There’s no need to bash Gaga because of that. I mean, its not her fault that she makes more money on vacation than Rihanna does while working relentlessly. Based off of their past record sales, fact is if she and Gaga were to release at around the same time, Gaga would surpass her by a land slide. Rihanna can’t even sell over 300k in the first week. So it would be best if she takes a break this year….

  55. Mya August 8, 2013

    Why is Rihanna SCARED to take a break?

    • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

      WHY ARE YOU SCARED OF HER AMBITION AND DRIVE?

      BETTER QUESTION : WHY DONT YOU HAVE ANY DRIVE OR AMBITION?

      WHAT DO U WNAT HER TO DO, BE LIKE LAZY ASS CIARA AND DROP A FLOP EVERY ODD YEAR?

      • Mya August 8, 2013

        Did I touch a nerve?

      • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

        Did I touch a nerve? Why dont you tweet Def jam why rih does not take a break?

      • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

        OH no! You aint on my level to be touching nerves. Rih taught me well.

      • Mya August 8, 2013

        So why are you responding caps then. I sense a pressed b**** because truth tea is being spilled. You cant take it.

    • Jas August 8, 2013

      She has to release an album every year just to remain relevant…since she doesn’t have raw talent to fall back on.

      • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

        YUP AND TEH GP, MAINLY WHITE, keeping buying, year after year. WHO is the fool?

      • Jas August 8, 2013

        The fool would be Rihanna….Because she’s working her ass off like a packed mule and barely receiving anything in return…Its a shame really.

      • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

        The fool is teh GP spending their hard earned money to make rich and famous. SHE IS WORTH 184 MILLION IS ON THE FORBES LIST AND CAN AFFORD TO BUY NEIL LANE DIAMONDS.

      • Jas August 8, 2013

        Good for her! Gaga came in at what #2 on Forbes…or was it #3??? I can’t remember but I know for a fact that she definitely ranked in at the top 5. Congrats to Rihanna for coming in at the top 20 though.

  58. rihking August 8, 2013

    Honestly i think rih needs some rest. Her music needs to be cherished and how is going to be if she keeps dropping albums every November. Rih is so special and that one of the main reasons why we love her but too much of something doesn’t make it special anymore. Sooner or that magic might just wear off and sooner or later rihs gonna have a mental break down.

    • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

      why are u upset rih is dropping a new album? THIS IS HER F****** JOB?

      • Jas August 8, 2013

        I’m not upset…I just said that most likely Rihanna would come in at last place if she, and a group of certain individuals, were to release at around the same time. Based on their past record sales.

      • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

        Ciara and Rita whora are the definition of coming last place and you will see when they get dropped and are left without jobs.

      • Jas August 8, 2013

        I never said that they weren’t…that’s common knowledge lmfao. I was talking about Rihanna…

      • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

        Second biggest foreign singer after madonna in UK HISTORY. BLEW BEYONE TO HELL. Number dont lie.

        Biggest selling downlaod artist in germany history. Numbers dont lie.

        Closing in on madonna number 1 in the USA; already has 12 USA NUMBER 1 at 25.

        Sorry, but what were u saying about her being last place?

      • Jas August 8, 2013

        Your point??? Beyonce’s not to far behind Rihanna in WW sales and she’s only released 4 albums lol. Not to mention the fact that her Mrs Carter Tour is slaying Rihanna’s Diamonds Tour, to beyond disbelief with no new album. She, like Mother Monster, even surpassed Rihanna on Forbes. So idk why your’re trying to shade her. Because Rihanna’s not the better album seller. Rihanna isn’t even a better album seller than Katy Perry…Which is exactly why I said what I did. Truth is, Rihanna isn’t going to stand a chance if she releases this year. Because not only will she be releasing around the same time as better album sellers, her formula is getting kinda old. Releasing an album every year is not only tiring for the general public but also for herself. Beyonce and Katy don’t even have to release this year and Rihanna would still come in last place because of Mother Gaga. Rihanna should take a break. No shade.

    • Dray August 8, 2013

      @Jas Rih has so many receipts. .it is too many to post her and it’s amazing to me how long as you deny what is obviously FACT which is Rih is reigning supreme right now. Numbers don’t lie and in all I see. . .she is ruling.

      • RICHIE_RICH August 8, 2013

        That’s only because Beyonce and Lady Gaga not out no shade.

      • Jas August 8, 2013

        Your’re right! Numbers don’t lie. For that very reason idc how much Rihanna “reigns” because numbers prove that Rihanna would come in at last place….like I said so many times before, if she were to release this November. Thats it.

  68. Rihboy August 8, 2013

    I doubt it however i already know she will do well…..both musically and numerically…..deal.

  69. rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

    RIHANNA IS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO HIT MUSIC, BEYONCE USE TO WORK HARD LIKE THIS AND NO ONE EVER TOLD HER TO TAKE A BREAK FOR YEARS AND HIDE OUT .

    LIKE NEED I SAID, THEY WANT RIH OUT THE RACE TO STOP COMPETING. THAT IS LIKE TELLING USAIN BOLT TO TAKE A REST SO THE COMP CAN WIN RACES.

  70. Jas August 8, 2013

    Why are you making racially offensive remarks? You sound beyond ridiculous and childish SMDH.

  71. Miss M August 8, 2013

    Firstly, reading these comments… this has nothing to do with race. So stop the ignorant racial stereotypes. Only ones who sound uneducated and bigotted is you with that mentality.

    And Rihanna is no more hardworking than the singers who chose to take time to collect themselves so they can have a motive for their next album.

    Rihannas work ethic would be the last person in the music industry someone should take notes from. But whether she chooses to release an album or not is her choice (I think) and I hope it works out for her (if this is to be believed) because I wouldn’t want people to become sick of her, or even worse, give herself a mental breakdown.

    • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

      AND WHO ARE THESE SINGERS?

      Brandy? Monica? Keyshia Cole? Ciara? May? Ashanti ?

      Cassie? C milliian? EVERY B**** is taking notes from rih’s work ethic. Not to mention every b**** is copying teh formula: From the PR stunts; the music, etc. Look at Rita whora, miley cyrus, Selena gomez, ciara and even beyonce.

      Everyone is copying rihanna. Oh, it will work for her, unlike your fave, she has a growing global fanbase who eat what she buys. You fave is prolly in push back zone. Sick? Even people without jobs can be sick. WORKING HARD DOES NOT CAUSE ILLNESS. Even kids get sick. Mental breakdown? SOUNDS LIKE YOUR BITTERNESS AND rage of rih’s fame is more likely to cause your braekdown that hers,

      She would have a breakdown if she DID NOT GET SIGNED OR FLOPPED. CIARA WILL HAVE A MENTAL BREAK DOWN WHEN SHE IS DROPPED AND LEFT WITHOUT A JOB ON HER 30TH B DAY.

      • Miss M August 8, 2013

        Gaga, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Adele and so on… The singers that matter basically. Rihanna is not invincible. Looks like everyone can see it besides you. I dismissed the rest of your comment. Now have a seat with your aggressive, bigoted ass.
        The amount you’ve written on this blog you could publish a damn novel.

      • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

        GAGA ,ADELE AND BEYONCE ARE NOT invincible eitrher. Beyonce decline has already started .

        Rih does not have to do what gaga and adele does. She is her own woman, with her own vision and she works they she wants, not cos of fat adele- Let see if adele will still be on top 7 years from now or will she be another dido. Adele took time off to have a baby. So rih is suppose to do that?

        Gaga took time off to go to rehab cos of her coke addiction . Beyonce took time off cos she HER DAD OVERWORKED HER, what the f*** do these ladies have to do with rig?

        You sit down h**! RIH WINNING ANF U CANNOT STOP IT!

      • Miss M August 8, 2013

        Are you slow? Where did I say they were invincible? Now re-read my original comment and digest slowly.

    • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

      There are milliions of people dying to get singed and have a career like rih. Do uo think they are having mental breakdown, while they are working as waitress to pay their bills.?

  72. rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

    Sam,

    What is the scoop woth Dr luke and Iggy azalea? ARE THEY F****** OR DATING? she been flying on his private jet and it looks like they have something going down! Or is she f****** for tracks like her label mate Rita whora?

    And they call rih an untalented h**!

  73. Fierce & all August 8, 2013

    Poor Rihanna. Making music has turned into her hobby… And for the record label it’s serious business. Smh. All this work overload. If this is true, I can only say I will take this era seriously if she is more passionate about taking control of the creative direction that goes with this era. And I mean actually writing a song meaningful to her and giving it her all in performances. Cuz this new album will basically mean a simple cash grab if not.

    • Jas August 8, 2013

      Agreed!

    • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

      beyonce and em would take a cash grab album at this point.

  74. stella August 8, 2013

    Maybe it’s Re-release or Greatest Hits album? I am here for that, not new album.

    She needs to take a break. She has been working like a s****. She needs to go away and enjoy her life not in the spotlight for a while because her albums will become meaningless.

      You need to go away and wonder why you have not attained a1/ 4 of rih has at 25. Or better yet….u need to have a job, that does not involve selling crack or trying to smash someones help on pavement.

    • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

      Rih was born to be in the spotlight. She is enjoying life, that carib carnival looks like so much fun.

      • RICHIE_RICH August 8, 2013

        Well if that’s the case why did her first 2 albums flop? I’m sorry first 3. STAY REACHING FOR THE BIG DIPPER NORTH STAR.

        MOTS sold 1.5 mill. WHO can sell that in this day and age?

        AGLM sold 4 million. THAT IS MORE THAN ‘ 4 ‘

      • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

        IN 2005 AND 2006 she was more bigger than Ciara is now. She may not of been on the cover of US WEEKLY but her video stayed on mTV AND SHE WAS TOPPING THE CHARTS.

        PDR

        SOS
        If is loving u want were HITS AND SINGER IN 2013 WOYLD PRAY FOR THEIR TYPE OF SUCCESS. CIARA AGED 30 WOULD TAKE SOS. RITA WHORA WOULD TAKE 1.5 MILL DEBUT LP

        How long did AGLM come out?

  76. Davis August 8, 2013

    Plus after the way TTT and Unapologetic were handled. I wouldn’t suggest rushing through another album. They seem to just come and go. Her music is forgettable. She wont get any respect for artistry in the long run if she just keeps clawing for Hot 100 position.

    • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

      her records will be respected. YOUNGEST PERSON TO SELL OUT STADE DE FRANCE STADIUM.

    Sybil why are you so upset?

    Why does it always have to be about race with you?

    You’re mixed race yourself, meaning either your mother or father is BLACK. Ignorance is Bliss.

    YOU’RE SO SHALLOW…………………..

  78. . : : h 2 o : : . August 8, 2013

    I’m not here for a new album from her this November …. that’s all.

    I’d hope for her to take her time recording her new album and give us timeless, creative quality music with actual longevity … not just another urban/EDM/Top40 record with like 3 cute bops and 8 fillers lasting for 6 months…….

    .

    But still, I’m not aware if she even has any control over it ………..

    .

    For now, I hope “Jump” is next single from “Unapologetic”, “What Now” can stay as a cute little album track …….

    • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

      You are not a fan and hate her anyway. I am a stan and I CANNOT WAIT. She does have control. That is why she kept f****** and working with CB even though the label hated him.

      That takes a lot of guts to do that.

    • rita whora will never make it big like Rihanna. August 8, 2013

      LA REID wanted her to be the typical light skin, long haired girl. She locked herself in her hotel room in paris, cut her hair as she saw in the movie aeon flux and dyed in black. LA REID AND DEF JAM were mortified. She said , ” I need to take these risk to stand at as an artist ‘ She was just 18 at that time. She has control.

      Going against the grain and doing ‘ white ‘ music instead of typical around the way black girl RNB? That takes control.

      Her fashion choices? Control. She has the most control in her career.

    For all those ranging angry about the new ALBUM…….DONT BUY IT AND KEEP IT MOVING. That is all u can do!

    • The Evil Eye August 8, 2013

      I wasn’t going to buy her b******* album, just like I didn’t buy any of the others. Thanks for the raggedy advice, Sybil, but it really wasn’t necessary… sort of like Rihanna’s terrible music.

  80. jokers August 8, 2013

    If this is indeed true, we all know why. First, she was going to take a year off but now this has surfaced. If true, we all know it’s because Rihanna and her team are so used to her being todays reigning pop music act and the idea and reality of likes of Gaga, Katy, Beyoncé, and Britney all making comebacks scares the s*** out of them because we all know the latters can and easily will overshadow Rihanna. So to keep Rihanna relevant as much as possible, they’re putting together more microwaved music.

  81. jokers August 8, 2013

    Rihanna has only been successful because she has never really had competition.

  82. Rosie August 8, 2013

    This shouldn’t even be news.

      And your a stupid h**

  83. no one August 8, 2013

    ENNNNOOOOOOOUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH 🙂

  84. Hush August 8, 2013

    This is good news. As a Rihanna hater, I hope she does release a new album this fall. Let her keep on churning out more of those cheap annual albums. With all the competition slated for this fall, we all know Rihanna wouldn’t win against the majority of them. I bet even Ariana Grande would outdo her.

  85. CzarM August 9, 2013

    The conveyor belt pop star strikes again. All of Rihanna’s albums are cold, impersonal, thoughtless and low budget. Like toys found at the bottom of cereal boxes. They have her sporadically record through out the year so that come November they can turn those miscellaneous scratch demos she submitted from her iPhone into an “album” behind her back.

    The real reasons they do this is because Rihanna’s albums don’t generate enough of a profit to extend promotion beyond the first six months or so after release. By May, her b******* albums are usually out of the top 40 and Def Jam is pretty much done sinking coins into them and are reducing the price nationwide to $5 (or less) to get them to sell out the rest of the barely platinum shipment. The only way the label can stay in the black with her is to put out a new album on her every year. They know that she can’t take a break. The GP is not going to wait on her to take a break the way they will someone like Eminem, Pink or even Gaga and will move on to another pop tart very quickly and not look back. These are the real reasons why Rihanna has to almost neurotically keep herself around in some way or another. Kinda sad that she can’t trust her own fans loyalty, but then again these are the same fans that will heckle and boo her at her own concerts when she shows up late. I wouldn’t trust the devotion of a Ninny…err… “Navy” either.

    Rihannas albums are always hit and miss with me.. Disliked everything up until Rated r, I can tolerate Loud, hated talk that talk, loved unapologetic. Lets not knock her hustle, she’s making only and her fans happy. Respect to her *applauds*

  87. MARLEH August 14, 2013

    I can’t wait until November comes and there is no new album. Rihanna is taking a long and well-deserved break. You can except a new album in 2015 or so. Not now. These blog sites need to chill.
