Lofty Prediction: Rihanna will release greatest hits collection after this album!

1

We have always expected the prospect of a greatest hits anthology-type album from Rihanna. Why you ask? Well, she has had enough singles (both hits and misses) to fill a triple disc. With all these rushed albums (did anyone see Talk That Talk coming before 2012?), collaborations, duets and deluxe version tracks, she has enough to pack the punch. In fact, she has more than most people who started out at around her time. If she were to take on such an endeavour after her tour and promo for the new album, she will have all these tracks to repackage and sell to you again:

  1. Pon De Replay
  2. If It’s Lovin’ That You Want
  3. SOS
  4. Unfaithful
  5. We Ride
  6. Break It Off
  7. Umbrella
  8. Shut Up And Drive
  9. Don’t Stop The Music
  10. Hate That I Love You (with Ne-Yo)
  11. Take A Bow
  12. Disturbia
  13. Rehab
  14. Russian Roulette
  15. Hard
  16. Rude Boy
  17. Rockstar 101
  18. Te Amo
  19. Only Girl (In The World)
  20. Raining Men
  21. S&M
  22. California King Bed
  23. Man Down
  24. Who’s That Chick (with David Guetta)
  25. Cheers (Drink To That)
  26. We Found Love
  27. You Da One
  28. Where Have You Been
  29. Talk That Talk single #4
  30. Talk That Talk single #5
  31. Princess Of China (with Coldplay)
  32. Live Your Life (wih Jay-Z)
  33. Love The Way You Lie (with Eminem)
  34. Take Care (with Drake)

Yeah, so that’s enough to fill a triple disc and more considering Rihanna will add a couple of tracks and a new single of the greatest hits collection, because if she doesn’t do it now she’ll have to end up with a box-set and we all know those don’t sell.

Kelis performs “4th Of July” on Jay Leno

This is just a lovely track off of Kelis’s Fleshtone album. We love the entire album and we couldn’t stop listening to it. She really went and reupholstered her career after leaving Nas and having a child. She was heading into oblivion for a minute there and rerouted in dance greatness.

M.I.A. releases new single “XXXO” with Jay-Z

A few years back, M.I.A. wanted to retire from the scene following her second album Kala. It did well in the underground scene but then just subsided. Then a little movie by the name of Slumdog Millionaire used one of her tracks, arguably a weaker one, by the name of “Paper Planes.” The movie went on to become a big hit and pulled that song with it. She now enjoys mainstream success and somehow, this underdog who was doing it for the art, is back with a new album aptly selfishly eponymous third album by the name of /\/\/\Y/\, which spells out Maya, her short name. Well, in order to authenticate her “credible” music roots she has lashed out at Gaga numerously and released a fluffer first single with a video made just to be banned. “Born Free” is the kind of unlistenable balderdash you get from riot grrl chic aspirants. Now that her hard edge is back with this here-now, gone-tomorrow song and video, M.I.A. is ready to launch her full-fledged commercial money-making career with a good single by the name of “XXXO.” But, she had to go ruin it with a Jay-Z collaboration for the a little extra extra. Everybody’s gotta cash in somehow!

Lady GaGa wins 3 Brit Awards!

Lady GaGa managed to bag all the awards given to international artists at the Brits. That is, except for the Best International Male, which went to Jay-Z. But, had she had some peen, she would have probably gotten that sexist award. Anyway, she deserved every bit and looked like a glamazon receiving them.

I’m with Conan O’Brien

So, it was his final show and everyone wept to a legacy that only some will know. Jay Leno has become the devil incarnate and, in all reality, he became one of those corporate bigwigs that will do anything for money, even lie. It’s a matter of the old guard versus the new kid and the figureheads won. Anyway, we can’t remember the last time we found Jay Leno humorous. We hope Conan will move on to bigger and better things.
