Agree, but it is above my tick threshold, so maybe I'm a case in point. (I don't get the hostility to "Shut Up And Drive," which I quite like.)

I came round to "SUAD" pretty quickly - and actually it's scored very highly on the overall charts so I think that was just Lex being vocally hostile.

I'm not really suggesting that most of the tickers are only ticking it because it's Rihanna, either - more likely it's that a lot of people got the Rihanna album and so the slower tracks (that they'd tune out or not bother to hear or YouTube if it was someone else) have had time to sink in for the normally balladphobic.
