Rihanna - Super Bowl 2023 + 9th Album

Another example of an excellent soundtrack song:

 

Love On The Brain has been her number one on Spotify on and off for months. It’s also about to hit 1 Billion.

I know Diamonds was huge but I wouldn’t be surprised if we got both to be honest. I think Stay will be cut.

 

Stay isn’t same level as Diamonds and Brain. Doubt we’ll hear it.

 

I think she’ll do both. Full set list probably ends up running like (not in exact order)…
Umbrella
Don’t Stop The Music
Pon de Replay
What’s My Name (Drake? Maybe.)
Work
We Found Love / Where Have You Been
Needed Me
Love On The Brain
Diamonds

Even that is cutting it close, unless she’s working with someone to create a master mega mix - Needed Me is probably where I’m most wrong, but it was a big hit and I think Anti will get a lot of play to remind people where she left of from.

 

This would be a vibe:

Phresh Out the Runway
Umbrella
Shut Up & Drive
Don’t Stop The Music
Pon de Replay
What’s My Name
S&M
Rockstar 101/Pour It Up
Diamonds

It would never happen though

 

I had no idea Love On The Brain was so popular. Sometimes people do have taste!

 

Was epic.

Oh this wasn’t on German Spotify for ages and now it is. Thrilled! I love this so much.

 

Sis… this is a trainwreck.

 

Pretty sure this song is what finally gave me corona.

 

As a Madonna fan I feel like M is the Queen of movie power ballads.

* Crazy For You (from "Vision Quest")
* Live to Tell (from "At Close Range")
* This Used To Be My Playground (from "A League of Their Own")
* You Must Love Me (from "Evita")
* I'll Remember (from "With Honors")
* Time Stood Still (from "The Next Best Thing")
* Masterpiece (from "W.E.")

Other notable movie soundtrack ballads that I didn't see mentioned anywhere yet:

* Seal - Kiss From a Rose (from "Batman Forever")
* Aerosmith - I Don't Want To Miss a Thing (from "Armageddon")
* Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You (from "Robin Hood")
* Roxette - It Must Have Been Love (from "Pretty Woman")

 

Her setlist will be similar to

Work
Only Girl
Umbrella
What's My Name
Diamonds
Rude Boy
We Found Love
New song

And I can't see it differing too much from that.

 

This seems a bit ambitious.

 

We'll get either of the Black Panther lullabies at very least.

 

I definitely think SOS will be there in some capacity, at least as a segue between songs.

 

How big are the chances of Rihanna bringing in Britney for a surprise return to the performing stage?! Probably zero, right?

 

In an ideal world she'd shake the table and do Cold Case Love as part of her set but alas - the table remains stable.

 

I mean, why shouldn't the guest be Tame Impala so they can do the behemoth that is Same Ol' Mistakes?

 

Zero indeed.

 

Are some of yall forgetting that the Super Bowl is an American event and not a British one ddd.

Only Girl? There's a higher chance she does Bitch Better Have My Money.

 

She will do Only Girl for sure, it’s one of her biggest hits.

The four that will 100% show up on the setlist: Umbrella
Only Girl
We Found Love
Diamonds
