OK, what's with the size 10 thing?

Good discussion of Rihanna over on Lex's lj; dull discussion of Rihanna over at ilX, though I like where some dude says, "the knowledge that Ester Dean wrote an Esmee Denters song is just extra insurance on the guarantee that I will never remember which is which."

Look, will someone PLEASE review "Need You Now" over on the Jukebox; it's been sitting on five reviews for days and unless it gets one more review it doesn't go up.

Another Year In America November 12, 2009

"Russian Roulette" entered the chart two weeks ago at 100, rose last week to an unpromising 75, then this week on the heels of a publicity blitz that included Rihanna's 20/20 interview it jumps to 9. We'll see if it sticks; it doesn't match anything else on the chart, in subject matter or severity. My guess is it holds on for a bit, maybe falling a little then hanging around as people get used to it.
