Rihanna's got her version of Love the Way You Lie on her upcoming album - but with the vocals featured more than Eminem's rapping, have they ruined the number 1 formula?
There's two answers to the question really - yes and no (obviously)
The song itself is better - everyone loved Rihanna in Pt 1, and this second version builds on the potential she showed in her chorus. Unfortunately, don't expect a high chart position (think top 10, not number 1) based purely on the lessening of Eminem's role - he's just got the one, not all the verses. It's impossible not to like this song, but without the huge support Eminem's fanbase gave his track, combined with this being almost a re-release of a song that's only just disappeared from the Top 40, sales will invariably be lower.
Joining Only Girl in The World, What's My Name and a couple more collaborations that'll be featured here soon, Rihanna's new album is shaping up to be a triumph
