Rihanna may be a lot of things, but a ‘skilled live performer’ is one adjective she will never be associated with–which makes her upcoming scheduled performance on NBC‘s ‘SNL’ all the more jarring…not surprising…but jarring.
Find out when music’s most incessant offender will enter the homes of millions to sing ‘Where Have You Been’ after the jump and sound-off below.
According to NBC, Rihanna is booked as the May 5th musical guest alongside host, Eli Manning. Three days later, ‘Where Have You Been’ will officially get served to radio (May 8). Save the date.
The ‘Talk That Talk’ era desperately needs to be whipped back into shape seeing how majority of the era’s singles, music videos, and promotional opportunities have been squandered and/or failed to meet expectations. ‘You Da One’ was a non-factor from the start that flopped hard on nearly every format. ‘Talk That Talk’ disappointed while ‘Birthday Cake’, the Chris Brown assisted urban radio hit, has had a snail-like ascend up the Hot 100 stalling at No. 30.
“Mayday!”

F*** Yeah… Shy Ronnie is my s***!
I’m shocked by the Birthday Cake song not going top 100. I think it would definitely be a hit but it was just promo’d really bad.
however i hope she gets good perofmrin g this era. she did amazingly at the brits//grammys and if she keeps pushing herself she’ll come on top.
Theres no tour no distractions this year for her so id love to see her focus and slay. i wont be here for another stand still sing performance
flopping so early in her career? Oh and they blaming it on no promo when her ass is everywhere. When you don’t have it and it is not natural. you have to work 5 times as hard. poor thing
Ummm, Birthday Cake is #32 on the Hot 100 this week…. O_o
Birthday Cake is 32# on the HOT 100.
This site fell off, BAD.
Sam is a f***** r*****.
I do not understand for the life of me how she has such a huge following. She is not a great singer or dancer, she does not write her own material, Im amazed. Yet singers like Leona Lewis and Keri Hilson get no love. I think Rhianna’s accent brought a new voice into the fold in music over the last 7 yrs she’s been out but a performer she is not. I will be glad when her reign is up.
That Rihanna Reign Juts Won’t Let Up.
Birthday Cake is #32 on the single’s chart, but it did peaked at #30. The song has a bullet at #32 (from last week), but I think it’s moving pretty much like how they’ve said it was(it’s been on the chart for 7 weeks). Anyway, it’ll be interesting to see Rih do WHYB live. It’s definitely the best thing on that album.

Failed to meet expectations according to who and what?
She and Mat j Dropped their cd’s the same time, perhaps
i might have that wrong, though????????????????????
Last i checked “TTT” was still kicking. Now it might not be
kicking as high as many would want it too, it is still kicking.
And if her Promo’s seems kind of off, then that could be
attributed to her Mangement doing a lousy job, i mean
after all that is what they get paid the big bucks for, Right
Perhaps they might need to get a “Situation Room” styled
meeting and find out why theres so much mangement going
into some and not the Goose Who Laid That Golden Egg for
them this pass year and four months into this year!
She and mary j, drake all dropped albums around the same time, or perhaps
i am not clear on who dropped then and who has dropped since then…
@LAX STFU AND GO BEAT UR MEAT SOMEWHERE ESLE…
ALL YOU DO IS troll around here whine and whine about rihanna H** STFU
How Did You Da One Flop?!
IT went platinum and peaked at #14 on BBHOT100
Btw rihanna aint bother by talk that tlk era she has done no performance for it minus the grammy and idol in the u.s and on both occasions she performed WFL
Where Have You Been Will B #1. So will Do Yah Thing and Drunk On Love so chile have several seats.
SNL aint s*** without rihanna katy was a mess.com
Update this stupid slow ass site then talk s*** about someone with a successful career.
GOOD DAY!!!
Lets face it no matter if you like it or not Rihanna puts out some of the best Pop/Dance songs of all time!!! Some just as good as LadyGaga (Some)lol And way better then Katy Perry so I can’t wait until WhereHaveYouBeen Comes Out, I’ve been missing a good Rihanna song and this one is one of her best! You Go RiRi!
Bring it on Goaty you better yodel Girl!!!!
Sam, you stupid c***! That Rihanna just won’t let up. So it’s best if you learn how to deal!
You know I gotta weigh in on this. I wanna know where the hell are the videos for ‘Talk’ and ‘Cake’!? That is causing a major slip, and tragically, It doesn’t sound like there will be one made for either song (if I’m wrong, please tell me!). It really just leaves me disappointed and thinking WTF. Rihanna notoriously ALWAYS does a video for a single, no matter how it fares on the charts (see ‘Rockstar 101’). Also, put the damn ‘Cake’ remix on iTunes, you idiot label. What is wrong with you? ‘Cake’ is clearly the breadwinner single at the moment, with the 1 minute interlude already #40 on iTunes (c’mon, I wanna who the hell is spending their precious $1:29 on barely a song). Think about what would happen if it were the full version. If the label is just bitter and angry with Rihanna for releasing it early, whining and stomping their feet like they’re in elementary school, then that’s just sad – sad that they can’t be mature and savvy instead and capture the missed opportunities here.
Flopping so early in her Career…. And to those who or waiting for her
to flop, take a number and get in line for her to flop. And yes she is flopping
really early in her career that is why her album “TTT” has out sold jay and west, album. And many others who dropped when and since she dropped her album.
Perhaps she might need to double think her mangement team for putting all of there
attention on others when shes paying them big bucks to see after her welfare. I mean after all it seems she not getting a lot of love fcrom her mangement team here as of late, *cought, could it be that shes paying ROC NATION TO SIT ON THEIR ASSES AND PROMOTE RITA,,,,OOOOPS???Which means shes doing her own promotions and they or spending her $$$ money and using it to support the RITA CHICK, WITH! Check it out Rihanna because you already know that the Kaaaaaang have not been keen on you since she see you have out lasted your 15 minutes and has become a Clear And Persent Danger To Her Livelihood. She first though you wanted Jay and that was wrong since she and jay or soul mates then and now she do not want yo ass to shine no matter if her Hubby is getting paid to Mange you or not. She will jump over the moon to suppoort Rita all the while pertending to be in support of you and stedy mad with you for doing good, watch these fols ovedr ther at the Roc Nation Buliding, they seem Shady. Think about it falling all over themselves for Rita and Lacking with you and your affairs., If this be the case they or going to see to it that your Endorsements get slower and slower and they will smile at you and give the most of the jobs to others and keep pertending that any down falls you have is because of your STANK ATTITUDE TOWARD THEM TREATING YOU S***** IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Birthday Cake remix is doing phenomenally! This song is charting in the top 40 on Hot 100 with barely any sales. The remix itself is so powerful that the interlude cut from the TTT album is top 50 itunes. So, basically, BC remix is getting most of its Hot 100 chart points from radio airplay and streaming. Can you imagine how well BC remix would be charting with an official release, where the remix was actually for sale on i-tunes?
I was one of the ones who thought that the BC remix with Chris was gonna be a huge mistake, but that track has had more legs than YDO and TTT combined!
No shade but between the your the one video and single and now her album has lost steam. Birthday cake would have been fire to put back into this album but because she mixed it with chris brown, it knocked her 2 steps back. It has been a huge time gap between one song to another. For her sake I hope it catches back on cause she does have some nice songs but when you wait soo long like that , you might as well scrap it and move on to the next and in hopes of have stronger push. Best of luck to her.
Funny how usher works right with justin bieber no matter what i suppose that
is why justin young talented s*** self made that big haul for this pass year. Then Usher made a cool 46 million and that whats happening. And then theres Taylor who made 45 Million and even though they all do different types of music they still caters to their fans and those who supports them. And like Rihanna she is still doing her thing and people have tried their best to try and cut her off at every path she decides to travel. To me the people who complains about her and her music don’t have to try and wear themselves out they can turn it off and just keep not supporting her. Either way Rihanna has a following too, and they will support her from now on. They love her down to earth attitude and shes very approachable to many people.
It seem that many who dislike her spend value time trying to get those who support her to think like they do. They or often trying to set the record straight as they see it and not as the people who do the charting sees it. It make you wonder why is it that if you don’t like or support some one then why would you go through such great lengths to try and rain on their parade no matter if they did something good or bad? That is so strange like her movie for insy=rance theres many who will try and make the movie be a flop becaue shes in it and they want to blame Rihanna when she’s only Featured in the Movie, why is that? When she drop a album and drop it during the Hoildays, they say shes trying to take advantage of the Holiday sales when they all do it. And she and mary j dropped at the same time and Rihanna dropped her album to take advantage of the holiday sales but ,
mary j did not why is that thinking in their air heads? Why do hey worry about others taking up for Rihanna and why do they wrry that she have fans? Why do they worry about her having Longevity? why do they say her career will soon be over? Why do the want some one and i mean anybody or it could be a dog or a cat to come into the music industry and make her go back to the islands. These “CLOWNS” OR CRAZY AS HELL!!
let me get this right, you all don’t like Rihanna yet every other post is about her? I love the low-key obsession you have with her, it’s adorable.
Yes! She should perform WHYB & Take Care w/ Drake! Both those songs are still potential #1s! Now as for TTT’s sales, WW it has sold over 2.5 copies. And in the U.S. its at the 800.000 mark. Thats pretty good considering some albums have been out for a year and have yet to surpass the 1 million mark in the U.S. (FAME – Chris Brown).
*2.5 million copes
*copies
TheFlopJuice: You guys just cant win with Rih. Yes well all know by now Rihanna is the best performer out there. So why do keep having high expectations for her? If Rihanna delivers Grammys 2012 or Brits 2012 on SNL and you guys say some metaphoric crap about her, it will just prove how ya’ll are just pressed haters with biased opinions.
*isnt
U guys on this site r pathetic. U ride nicki’s click when her album is trash and singles have been POOR. U hardly ever post good stuff about Rihanna. It’s all negative. Biased m************. I’m through with this site. This will be the last time I come here.
WHYB will be number 1…ive been singing it to myself since the first time i heard it on november 21st….she’s making moneeys for the Carter family
keep at it more money in King J and Queen Bs bank at the end of the day.

May 5th? On CHRIS BROWN’s birthday ?????
Y’all know this is NOT a coincidence.
SMH.
*sips chocolate*
I hope Jay do that payola s*** to get her songs up to #1 because the mainstream is not feeling her anymore after that song with Chris. Even though this is her life and she can see and sing with whoever she wants. Like she said in an interview the navy & teambreezy should be as one instead of fighting against each other. Also isn’t May 8 FORTUNE drops
The radio stations are not accepting her bribes anymore.
Before every hour on the hour a rihanna song is playing. That’s how the s***** songs get stuck in people’s head.
Rihanna fans can’t accept the fact that she is not living up to the Super star status they made up Rihanna is a Star she is big right now but she isn’t The best she still falls behind many chicks
Perhaps if the radio stations or not accepting her music and some think shes not the super star that we know she is Perhaps she just might need to FIRE ROC NATIONS AND HIRE MR KNOWLES He will make her the star she need to be to compete with the others!!!!And would some one be kind enough to let “XYZ” know that “Majic’s Group” own the Dogers now and they or happy to see their players dating Super Stars if thats what floats their boats. They know that there is nothing like a s*** super star to help their players run harder and nail those balls harder to get the job done to stay at the top of there game.
@THEREALHONESTTRUTH,,,,Yes we know and we also know that is why she moved over 117,000 copies of “wfl” and 111,000 she and drake and we also know that because of the radio air play tht is another reason her twitter rose to 17 million this week, Deery! Keep strying to werk havoc and see how silly you look,
knowles/carter being so Hateful and biting off the hand that help feed Ya.
@THEREALHONESTTRUTH AND OVER 35,000 COPIES OF “TTT”, SUCK ON THAT AND RIDE IT TO YO NEXT HATE ON RIHANNA PARTY!
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EQUALLY COOL IF GRAPE HAD POSTED THE
SKIT WITH HER AND SLY, OH WELL!

YOU AINT NEVER LIED ABOUT THAT, BUT THEY SWEAR YOUR HATING, IT IS WHAT IT IS.,,,,FACE THE FACTS, C*** DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
U know what , i reached a point at which i don’t see the shade anymore , i just read the post as a shade-less one.
you are getting and snatchin’ that rihannadaily wig in no time , you are becoming a rihanna fansite with small doses of tired shade non harmful biterness in each post. actually you are more updated than most of her fansites. LMFAO ! that’s why i keep coming here , this is the best rihanna fansite ever !!!! 🙂
i’m XD of course 🙂 ! finally she’s starting the promo train 🙂 !
which “world-wide” did TTT sell over 2.5-2.8 million copies? i swear the Rihgoats STAY MAKING S*** UP TO MAKE THIS GIRL RELEVANT! DAMN!
@Oh baby ….Child somewhere on mars

& yall please follow me now: http://twitter.com/shynlownoam
girls go get your reciepts! check mediatraffic and add every week ttt has been out up and the number is over 2.5 million, and each week she sales over 25k so she is still doing good!
while we are on this subject i have also seen some bey stans going on and on that 4 isnt a flop and sold 3 million??? well 4 isnt a flop, but it hasnt sold anywhere near 3 million it had just sold 2 million by the end of 2011 (no shade) so in four months with it selling less than 20k each week there is no way it is at 3 million! im just saying
back on topic
ydo isnt a flop it has sold over 500k in the us and millions world wide it got #14 on the hot 100 and #1 on the pop songs chart! ttt was sent to radio but never officially released! birthday cake was sent to radio but never officially released!! its like saying every song that beyonce did a video for was a single because all of those got sent to radio!! so bey would of had 7 singles? mmmm
also bc is doing amazing without a release! it is going off 0% sales and still hit #30 on hot 100 and #3 on the urban chart!!
also ttt selling 2.5 million is no flop, for all the albums released in 2011 ttt has sold the 5th most out of all the albums so she is still doing good!
Beyoncé is queen! And b****** will accept this! TTT is a flop, just one hit and a bunch of flops. TTT has sold just over 1.9mill ww not the 2.5 my fellow navy peeps keep saying!

I thought ttt had hit the 2.0mm mark, is this the real commander.
The album was certified platinum by the RIAA.[45] 4 has sold 1,135,700 copies in the United States[130] and 2,100,000 copies worldwide.[131]
don’t know how true this is
BIRTHDAY CAKE REMIX IS DOING GREAT.!! its not even for sale on itunes and its in the top 40. You Da One is a platinum single, idk how thats a flop, and Talk that Talk has went gold with no video, and only one small performance.
LMAO
Yet TTT already outsold 4closure and keep doing so.
WHYB is gonna be a WW MONSTER.
Her movie is gonna keep dominating the worldwide box office
RIHANNA IS GONNA OWN THIS SUMMER
LIKE I SAID THIS IS THE RHIANNA BASH WEBSITE. F*** THIS WEBSITE. DO YOU NOTICE HOW THEY PRAISE THAT RITA B**** JUST TO MAKE RHIANNA LOOK BAD. ANOTHER CASE OF ANOTHER BLACK WEBSITE DISSIN THEIR OWN KIND. F*** THIS WEBSITE. ITS TACKY ANYWAY
some idiot went and stole my name and pic!!! lol girl hope off my account!
@richnblack
no that was some desperate hater stealing my s***!!! lol sam has some glitches with his site i have noticed before that somebody elses user name and email were already in the text boxes!
anyways i could have sworn that 4 has sold atleast 2.4 million my numbers could also be wrong though! but i am pretty sure about it!
back to the other me!
giiirrrll ttt was sitin pretty at 1.7 million at the year end charts! a little over a month released and before it reached two months it had already sold 2 million!!
ps whithin the last month talk that talk has sold 100k that alone would of pushed it farther than what you post!!! so how about you stop trolling on my account!!!
You da one may have been thr 2nd release but it was not a single it was clearly a buzz song def jam threw out before the album even came out. It wasnt even peeformed live. If You da One is a single then beYawnces 1+1 is a single both had videos but rihanna disnt perform her song so its just a promo. If you. Really thought you da one was gonna smash while we found love was still #1 then you are a 4lop. Talk that talk reached #3 on rhythmic radio and birthday cake is #2 on urban. Both hits on their target radio format. Besides take care is smashing pop and is practically rihannas song so girl is doing just fine. Keep those last threads on your head beyawnce stans cuz Rih aint done. Shes coming with Where Have You Been and gonna snatch your new growth. Deal with it boo boo
TTT was certified platinum only in the UK, not in the US. Sorry Rihtards, but we over here aren’t that into the goat model which is why the b**** keeps changing her hair color and swagger jacking Rita and now Cassie. You guys need to get a life and hearing, she sucks, can’t sing, dance, write, or act. She’s average looking and her forehead is massive.
@ the fake commanderofthedancefloor
Beyoncé is queen! And b****** will accept this! TTT is a flop, just one hit and a bunch of flops. TTT has sold just over 1.9mill ww not the 2.5 my fellow navy peeps keep saying!
You’re just jealous because 4 had no # 1 hit.TTT had a hit single and YDO made it to #14 on the hot 100 while Run the flop wasn’t even close to the top 10.Whats taking 4 flops so long to reach 3 million??? 4 went #1 and still struggling to reach 3 million Lol. WHYB coming for wigs!
matreiya
Rihanna swagger Jacking who?? Who the heck is Rita Ora??? and Cassie?? That b**** been a flop.All these b****** been swagger jacking our queen since Good Girl Gone Bad.Every since then everybody and their momma wanted a Rihanna make over.Get over it honey Rihanna is here to stay and people still paying Rihanna millions to sing.So your opinion means nothing.
