LISTEN UP RIHANNA'S CD IS NOT A FLOP IT'S ONLY SEEN AS A FLOP BECASUE OF THE ALBUMS DIRECTION! IT'S A DARK ALBUM PEOPLE NOWDAYS DON'T LIKE THE DEVLISH SLIT YOUR RIST TYPE SONGS THEY PREFER MORE UP TEMPO LADY GAGA LIKEE SONGS HENCE WHY RUDE BOY IS DOING WELL AS ITS ONE OF THE FEW THAT ARE CATCHY AND UP BEAT.
