Rihanna shows side boob to sell albums

Although Rihanna’s latest album Rated R had lots of good buzz and press mentions, the album has failed to really do much. It may be appearing near the top 20 in its third or fourth week, but no where near the numbers most expected or hoped.

Some of it can be attributed to just unfortunate timing as no one knew what a monster Susan Boyle would be (not looks wise). And the Gaga re-release effect. But how much is it that, and how much is it just bad management by the labels? I mean I see the poor girl everywhere showing up in sexy outfits, and yet she can’t get a hit. What is wrong?
