"Insanely lukewarm" is an odd little construction.

*Speaking of which, I finally heard Chris Brown's Forever while eating breakfast this morning and catching the vid on MTV. I think Exclusive is fine as is without it.

@Chris Molanphy:

Good point. What I was trying to get at, but had little to no luck doing in my first comment was how, though many a single was released from GGGB, none of them really took off like wildfire the way Umbrella did [though Hate that I Love You and/or Don't Stop the music almost did?] and it struggle to get its Gold or Platinum plaques. With that being said, and after taking in your response I wonder if people feel like revisiting an album they are already familiar with [Again, conversation for some other time?], especially seeing as how this bonus track is so lukewarm.*

@Tauwan: which is to be included on the RE-RELEASE of Good Girl Gone Bad. [You don't see Ne-Yo trying to milk Because of You for all its worth. No, he's actually expanding his discography with something new, but that's a discussion for some other time.]

No, it's a discussion for right now: we're already on this aspect of the story. More to come this Friday if she shoots to No. 1.

Guess all those people who loved Umbrella and pretty much little to nothing else on that album want another chance to embrace Umbrella,[and now Take A Bow] and enjoy little to nothing else on the album.*

*I quite enjoyed the disc for some time. Contrary to popular belief.

I'm glad you enjoyed the disc, but I think you're being unfair to the general public: GGGB has been one of the most consistent hit-producers of the last two years, FutureSex/LoveSounds and The Dutchess notwithstanding. Only "Shut Up and Drive" failed to make the Top 10; and the album's second-biggest hit was the fourth single, which just fell out of the Top 10 about a month ago. So not only did you "enjoy the disc for some time," pretty much the whole radio-listening country did.

And Rihanna's new track Take A Bow, a slow moving Irreplaceable like retread [especially when you see the video] which is to be included on the RE-RELEASE of Good Girl Gone Bad.

Also outselling him: Yael Naïm (still?! is that MacBook Air ad still even on TV?), Flo Rida's "Low" (still! and by a factor of two to one!!) and, of course, Flobots.
