    Her album is at number 17 in this week's mid week sales.

    I hope it rises.

    I'm not gonna say it's her best, but I will say it matches GGGB which is a hard thing to do coz that album was basically like a greatest hits album. This album probably has the edge in terms of artistic credibility and input, considering she had very little input on her last.

    I really like Rated R. I'm not that big on her earlier music. I think the new album is really artistic and creative, not the typical chart music.
    It's too bad it's not doing so well. It's unfortunate when someone does something a little bit out of the box and creative it doesn't sell well.

    Obviously, everything on the X Factor gets to No.1 or at least top 3. I'm not a fan on the new style over the old style by the new one but there's nothing bad about the new one. By gripe about Russian Roulette is the word Trigger in the song - it completely ruins the the flow of the song for me:(.

    Why was the Gunshot not on the X Factor? Don't tell me it's offensive!

    Since her x factor performance, I've actually really started to like Russian Roulette. I've heard the album and its much better than Good Girl Gone bad. She doesn't sound like she's trying to be just another RnB diva and has gone a little experimental with her sound.

    However, with GGGB there were clear single choices (Umbrella, Shut up and Drive, Rehab etc) but with Rated R, I don't think it's as mainstream so they will find it difficult making as many hits.

    It's been cut out from the video on the music channels to, I'm guessing because some people probably do find it offensive, bit silly in my opinion.

    Wait Your Turn, even though I love the song, isn't really a good choice for a second single seeing as the video came out around the same time as the Russian Roulette video. Most people would have probably downloaded it if they liked it by now I think.

    I think Wait your turn is a great single. Better than RR personally but i still like RR so don't get me wrong.

    I really hope Stupid In Love and Photographs are potential singles.

    Unless plans have changed, but Wait is over was planned to be a second UK single.
