And it begins.
If there was any doubt about the imminent release of Rihanna‘s eighth studio album, it was dispelled moments ago when the star’s new Elle magazine cover was unveiled.
As has become routine with the melodic model, a new campaign is often paired with an onslaught of magazine covers, a collage of candy coloured wigs, and wild Instagram antics – the latter of which has already begun.
The looming nature of the project, delayed by almost a year, does leave us wondering how Ms. Fenty plans to roll it out. Surely, she can’t be planning a Beyonce-styled ambush? Granted, she has a vast fan-base and is smartly using her creative block to heighten anticipation, she doesn’t possess a universal enough audience to risk such a release. Perhaps for a single, but an album…not so much. After all, each of her LP’s have the uncanny ability to just stop selling around the 1 million mark.
Will she reverse her fortunes this go round? The answer appears to be approaching sooner rather than later.

TGJ SSSSHHHHHADE Lmao’!
Stop bringing the Queen up in everyone’s post that’s y these fake a** stans try and come for her! Even though they are too weak to against the BeyHive but still let this thing have her moment!
I am curious however to c what collab if any that Msfenty and the Queen are cooking up!????? *Lies* lol. Navy don’t hold your breathe!!! Lmao
The pics are very basic.
Irony. Ciara will never grace this cover.
She doesn’t need too.
Ya right, cause it won’t stop her from flopping. Again.
Ugh just stop writing me you’re so insecure & messy. Keep seething over my opinions.
@Molly
If I never agreed with u before I do now!!!
No shade honestly I like Rih in pics and these are…cute(popsLips) but yes very basic for her
N e way interested to hear these #Trendy singles
Go get em Satan!!!! 😀 drake outted u
Death at Sam’s shade honey. Kii
Umm Stan war in 3…2…1…begin
Uhh rihanna can release an album n it well sell better than any of her 1st weeks if released like beyonce was released.
But, I don’t get how some females post her pics saying she looks hot and amazing n these outfits/hairstyles they know look dumb as f*** n would clown a chick in the club for looking so damn dumb or slutty. N rihanna be looking bad in it but they like to say it is s*** or something
Bajan Princess.
Her hair is a mess
Yup just like her live vocals ki
hur looks stunning as always.
YAAAAASSSSSS QUEEEEN RIRI….. Work! #R8 She is constantly showing basics how to make #historih they just never learn.
Here goes sam with the redundant shade, Mad because R8 is coming and she will soon overshadow Beyonce on instagram & the charts.
The hive gonna get you. lol
Lol they’re so pressed and threatened by anyone who is doing better than Bey. They’re trying to shade Taylor because she’s selling 1m+ first week in the US, claiming its only because of promo.
Sam, u need to stop with this “ahead of new album” nonsense. There is no album.. As I said yesterday, we have a better chance of finding a cure for Riherpes a.ids infected vag than getting new music from her this year.
No we have a better chance in curing cancer, before ARTPOP gets a platinum certification.
We have a better chance of curing ebola before u stop bandwagoning
This Adelephant stan stays hanging from rihs tired c***.
Cheek to Cheek 400k worldwide…”slay” according to Moronsters.
😆
@Applause its not even an Adele fan, never was. It was only bandwagoning for the “21” sales. Now that its clear there’s no “25” this year, its hoping on to the next pop tart. Pathetic if u ask me
screaming, i’ve been a fan of Rihanna since i came to this site (Adele,Mariah,Rihanna) speaking of Adele why has did 21 sell more in Australia than Artpop in the US
I think the word “slay” must be redefined, because it doesn’t seem to be quite right.
@BeyhiveIdiot it’s a jazz album . jazz isn’t mainstream so its doing great Beyonce could never slay in that genre
Ive been an Adele fan since 2008, but keep thinking you know me and my favs, and I knew 25 wasnt coming out this year since June. stay pressed B****!!!!
@SkyFag LOL at you reverting back to stanning for Adele because u know u can’t use Riherpes numbers against GaGa.
Yet another magazine cover…
This b**** looks so tired. Rflop8 will struggle worse than UltraBoring from Duck face del rey
Where dem lies??
A gags Stan talking about flopping? You Stan for the queen of decline
Mj stan? lol bye
I really like this pic.
This album will flop…. 150k 1st week sales..
U far too generous, I say 50k
…..just like Gaga’s last week sales worldwide? 😀
Fartpoop platinum yet?
Sam, you should really seek some help. We’ll still be here for you.
I love it. Rihanna never disappoints, the queen of magazine covers
Rflop8 will do 100k max first week.
Her forehead is bigger than her 1st week sales in the US Billboard 200
K bye.
LOL at all these trolls coming out of the woodworks to try it with ARTPOP!! Its probably @SkyFag. Bish artpop is Gold and outselling most of these pop tarts WW. My fave is international, we don’t care about US sales. Only the local navy cares about US sales
Chart news says otherwise. She has sold about 2 mil world wide!!!!
I’m a female, born WITH a v*****,I don’t have to tuck. So no i’m not a f** and far screaming a Local.
–
Adele has sold more albums than gaga with 1 album than she has with 3.
Lady gaga stans need to find their chills, their fav has been reduced to a clinging Jazz act.
Rihanna is better than Gaga. Can’t blame her fans (Monsters) that are simply too young to know what sorts of amazing (electronic) musical pieces/art are out there. My guess is that Lady Gaga’s music is just acting on that to be succesful, resulting in child-friendly easy songs based on trends in pop-music and culture. Making money…nothing wrong with that…. but the fact these sort of “artists” are hugely successful, and therefor must have enormous brain-fart fans… that really worries me!
screammmingggg
This Elle spread really proves that Rihanna needs heavy makeup for beauty
Just like Beyonce need heavy photo shopping for her instagram pics.
exsqueeeeze me? lets not act like Mariah didn’t Photoshop herself to the HIGHEST HEAVEN on her album cover sis
That hair is a nappy mess. Everything doesn’t work with her face. She is really trying to push this “Fashion Icon” title but her looks as of lately have been basic and try hard. Good luck to R8’s sales tho. 😉
B**** stfu, you’re always spewing hate. You calling Rihanna hair nappy but yet you try to defend Beyonce when she has Blue Ivy running around looking a mess. (No Shade to Blue) and she is IS “A Fashion Icon” And has the awards and credentials to back it up, stay pressed.
Basic af!! And why is this chick so pressed over the hive and beyonce? Like you’re always the first one to run your mouth about Beyoncé. Who are you trying to convince that someone is scared by rihanna?
you’re still here ghetto ass b****
Lol, Sam ‘the creator of stan wars’
I bet Samantha (back to Samantha because you’ve reverted back to your childishness) is happy Rihanna is back, god knows those Beyonce stories weren’t paying the bills.
‘
Ironic considering you were one of the people begging her to take a break.
Anyway Rihanna looks good in this shoot, I saw the other pics and she looks as hot as ever. Slay Riri, glad she’s back and had a good break. Can’t wait for some good music.
This talentless s**** named Lady GaGa needs to fade away. The female version of Kanye West. Self-absorbed, petulant, irrelevant and nonsense. People have lost interest partly due to her psycho fans and Gaga’s narcissism. 1% talent; 99% hot gas.
Riri is coming, brace yourselves Monsters.
Gaga has way more talent then Riherpes only thing rih is good for is f****** for beats.
SCRRRREEAAMIIINNG @SkyFag saying he is female. No bish, ur a t*****. U were born male, but ur gay ass thinks ur a female.
hahaha drag it
Serving some bitter tea because Gaga managed to sell 400k of “Cheek To Cheek worldwide while Barbra sold 900k?
That’s too funny.
My period says otherwise, Oh and btw
–
GAGS – 120M
RIHANNA – 150M
NO SUPERBOWL FOR RIRI….OH WELL.
TRY AGAIN NEXT YEAR. 😀
No Grammy for Basic Perry, isn’t she on album #4 now and still can’t win a Grammy?
Why do Beyonce stans try it? Sit tf down h***. Monsters aren’t the navy we will drag tf outta yall.
But y’all can’t drag your suicidal twink asses to the local Walmart to buy artflop. The irony,
Lmao. Kii
Gaga is playing in smaller venues and failing to even sell out most shows whereas her main competitor i.e. Katy Perry/Rihanna are adding shows. Sad isnt it?
I can’t at @SkyFag and his 872452141 troll accounts, YASSSS, seethe bish!! 😀
Honey I don’t have trolls accounts but weren’t you clocked for trolling ealier this year, i don’t need multiple accounts to drag.
Gaga does everything better than your S** fav navy bow down.
Now I know the Gaga fans are trolling
Fagbird aren’t you the king of trolling?
Lady Gaga is a scam. Period.
Enough with the gimmicks. Albums will sell if they are full of great music. Artpop is filled with poop. If she had any talent, she wouldn’t have to resort to all these ridiculous measure to try to be noticed. Not a rocket science…
Conclusion: No one wants Gaga anymore. RIP !!!
Don’t worry about the little suicidal maniacs.They’re pissed because ArtPop failed to outsell Unapologetic and Beyonce.I don’t think it outsold prism!!
“The looming nature of the project, delayed by almost a year, does leave us wondering how Ms. Fenty plans to roll it out.”
‘
I bet you are SAMANTHA, I bet you are
Who cares about Gaga- the karokeke jazz singer????
People have lost interest partly due to her psycho fans and Gaga’s narcissism!
Seriously, I don’t think she will be around much longer. Unlike Madonna, who she constantly rips off and she will overdose she is a fan of drugs n her drug of preference is cocaine…
Lmao why are the Monstrosities pressed over the hive in a Rihanna post? Are y’all that bored because your fav isn’t doing anything of merit? Hahaha f****** gremlins, anyway this cover is basic just like her NOcals and her G****. Goodbye!!!
Of cos u know all about trolling, remember when u trolled TGJ for the gods when Riherpes was in ur country, in ur township of soweto? U were busy trolling instead of supporting ur fave while she performed to a half empty stadium.
The main problem with @ladygaga is that she sucks and has always sucked and will always suck.
Spread this sh*t !!!
Edward scissorhands tease but I love this girl.Rihanna is so ahead of the other girls.
Monsters kill ARTPOP. The most pathetic fanbase and vile, too. 2014…Monsters are forgotten species.
I guess these are last kicks of a dying gremlin. The monstrosities know their time is coming to an end and so they are putting in the extra hate hours to gain some attention; ironic considering their fav….
‘
Soon it’ll be “Fake like t***** Caca, party of ONE” but don’t worry, we’ll forget all about you, it’s crowded at the bottom.
Lady Gaga’s fans ———–> dying breed!!!
🙁
It is really sad to see how American culture continually exalts the public problems of the mentally ill like Lady Gaga.
QUESTION: what happened to Lady Gaga?
ANSWER: Nothing happened to Lady Gaga, it is just that her moment has passed.
The monsters impact>
@LooseBottom. I don’t care about internet popularity, it doesn’t pay my bills. I have a job, that’s why I’m not on TGJ 24/7 like u, and that’s why I can afford to go support my fave when she is in my country. You on the other hand stay refreshing TGJ 24/7, u don’t have a job, that’s why u didn’t support ur fave when she was in soweto, coz u can’t afford to. So keep ur internet popularity 😀
Gaga ….her ego is bigger than her hideous pancake boobs. Bookmark me!!!!
😆
Artpop is a flop and the monsters will deal, VMAS, Thanksgiving special, endless promo and TV advertisement, hundreds of discounts and she still couldn’t sell a million hell she can’t even FAKE A PLATINUM CERTIFICATIONS with shipments like she did in canada
A………..Lady? That ugly???
:lol
@Applause we got them PRESSED flatter than pancakes 😀 …. Our impact >
Right the navy (LB & SKYFAG) are so pathetic using all these other accounts lol
Bey sold 500,000 in about 3 hours. WOW!!! Bey’s changed the game and she’s got all these girls, Katy, Miley, etc looking over their shoulders. Bey crashed iTunes about 4-5 times. No one’s ever done that.
In this order as of today: Bey=500,000, Katy & Miley=250,000 and Gaga was no where near this group today.
What does that say about Gaga’s talent? She needs to take a break and just disappear and come up with some new tricks because after what Bey did today . . . said goodbye to Gaga!
Yet Beyonce Barely outsold Rihanna worldwide, and sold less records than Prism, Unapologetic, & Bangerz. But the latter of your statement is true Gaga needs to disappear.
CAKE LIKE T***** PAPA, unemployment checks, Section 8, and wellfare is NOT a job. I’m paying your bills with my taxes.
@SkyFag just like u can’t FAKE BEING A FEMALE.. 😀
You want me to send you a pic of my p****?
What happened to Mother Donkey named Gaga?
It’s easy…it’s what happens to all Pop Singers who rely on “schtick” instead of simply writing catchy tunes that people like. Once the “shock value” of being different wears off, you damn well better have something else to back it up, and quite frankly, she doesn’t. She’s just a run-of-the-mill pop star. Once her odd-ness became commonplace for her, it’s no longer going to garner the media attention that it used to, so the only thing left to talk about is the music, which to be honest, is just recycled 1990’s era Madonna.
@Cake these gays always wannabe females
@SkyFag, I’m South African Bish, so try again. And I didn’t know McDonalds till operators pay tax? SCCCRREEEAAAMINNNGGG!!!!
All jobs pay tax, idiot and i don’t work at McDonalds.
I go to school fulltime
Gaga who? What is Lady GaGa? Is that like a feminine hygiene spray or something?
🙁
ARTFLOP!!!! The album of the millennium according to delusional and misguided Stefani. Now that’s too funnie.
DEAD at @SkyFag wanting to send me a pic of his mothers hairy pusssy.. Bish keep that aiids infect vag, I don’t want it on my phone
Dead…Gaga is a mess.. so do Monsters.
1989 album sales!!
Australian album sales: #1 @taylorswift13, 1989 43,428 (debut). *her 3rd #1 album*
Uk album sales #1 90,000 “her second number #1 album”
USA predicted sales 1.3 million.
Swifites are everywhere:) 🙂
Her WW sales are underwhelming, but she slays in the states.
Blank Space + Bad blood are my fav
She’s getting bigger world wide sales, now she’s singing pop music.
She just announced a U.S stadium tour. This is what happens when u are a good songwriter.
She is a weak performer and I am more of a RNB fan than pop but Taylor can WRITE her a** off.
Gaga;s new album falling off the iTunes chart faster than Eminem’s rapping.
😀
Lady Gaga is an imposter a human tumbler account. All her music, costumes, and Madonna-esque persona come from brilliant artist before her. She doesn’t write her own songs ( look at her credits) she only wrote 2-3. Yeup just 2 but takes credit for them all. She is a flop con artist who shouldn’t be paid for literally copying other people’s work!!! Lil monsters can cry all they want that she doesn’t copy and writes all her albums the only people they fool are 10-19 year olds.
Lets make one satanic jail and put Gaga and Cyrus there where they belong.
Lmao. She looks like a gollywogg. Not so hot without amazing hair is she?
This blog is s*****. U always complain about
a lack of artists, but u compare Rihanna & Beyonce when it isn’t relevant.. They aren’t one
in the same. Give credit to the both of them. U
seem more threatened by Rihanna than anything.. She’s been outselling Beyonce on a
worldwide level.. So that universal SHYT is bs..
She hasn’t though.
Awful cover.
SAM with the lies as usual … Every Rihanna album this decade has outsold every Beyonce album this decade.
Rihanna is MUCH bigger world wide than Bey , sorry
Beyonce has outsold Unapologetic after 10 months.
DEAD at this alien on the cover of Elle
Rihanna can book the cover of a magazine whenever she wants it but ur fav stays on the waiting list!
That’s Power!
thief beyonce album is not doing big numbers worldwide it is an album that stalled it is flop after allllll the free press she got..stalled and stuck in the mud
