With Rihanna’s latest album “Rated R” only dropping out of the top 20 within a week of released, i think everyone knows that Rihanna flopped – but who is to blame?

Is it Chris, Her Stylist, LA Reid or Good Girl Gone Bad herself!? Even after her X-Factor appearance (which I didn’t like), Rihanna is still failing to connect with us! It’s a shame with Def Jam splashing huge amounts of cash into the promotion of the this album it’s only moving down about 5 places each week on the Billboard charts. In regards to Rihanna’s new look, it never got a good reception in a recent poll about 78% of people preferred Rihanna in the days of Umbrella and then a further 81% said her hair was an attempt to copy Keri Hilson (who’s share in the R&B market seems to be growing!).

With huge efforts to pushing her new single off the “Rated R” album “Hard”. The video was only released a matter of days ago, and play demand on the radio and television networks are at an all time low for Rihanna. This is not in huge contrast to ex-boyfriend and former woman beater Chris Brown, who’s albums are being sent back from record stores despite and official apology from himself and a huge push from Jive records, it’s hard to tell who’s career will come on top.
