rihanna and chris brown

 

Rihanna and Chris Brown are battling again.. this time on the Billboard charts.

Rihanna's debut single from her album "R Rated" hasnt even cracked the top 20 and has been on the charts for 6 weeks and continues to slide down the charts and on radio play . (Honestly though, that song is disturbing and the video is even more disturbing). Her 2nd single, a collaboration with Jeezy titled "Hard" comes in at 19 and is gaining momentum, followed at 20 by Chris  Browns collab with Lil Wayne "I Can Transform Ya" which has been on the charts for 8 weeks and continues to climb. The collab with Weezy didn't hurt him either.

When comparing these two, the fans were looking to see how these two would do post-february and the "beating of rihanna saga". Rihanna did not come out with the up-tempo dance song that was expected, but Chris did. For their second singles, Chris released a ballad (obviously about Rihanna and the heartbreak of the break up and events that took place that night before the Grammys) and Rihanna an uptempo beat song. She should've released "Hard" first. It would've faired better with fans. The song still isn't up to the standards we expect from Rihanna as we heard on "Good Girl Gone Bad".

Listen to songs and make your own opinions. I think even after the events of this past year, Chris Brown will still be coming out on top and obviously his record sales haven't been hurt.
