What's My Name? is now two weeks running the #1 song in America! Congrats Riri~ This makes it her 8th #1 which breaks some record I don't remember.

I posted all this info on one of the last few pages. Since her debut, she is the only artist to have 8 number ones on the top 100, plus she had 3 in one year, and the last artist to have 3 in one year was her back in 2008.

ps I made this for you but I wasn't sure if you would like it or not

Really? All the comments I've seen are like FIERCE, RIHSUS, etc.

Rated R had mostly positive reviews from critics and ended up selling really well in the long run.

I love it for it's darker elements, it was my favorite RiRi album until LOUD came along. Now, I'm not so sure.

ps.

I love Rated R and I thinks it's way better than Loud.

What's your favorite track?
Mine's probably California King Bed

Hard now that I've listened to the album a lot of times, I say Skin.

It's perfect and sexy. Totally a "get freaky" song.

I also love Fading, Raining Men, Love The Way You Lie part II, and What's my name.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Thank you I love it!

[freedreamer]

Cant get enough of this album and I totally adore her alubm photos!!!
btw, anyone can PM me a real 320KBPS link on MF or MU if possible? (W/ Whos that chick)

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

^ wth?

what's my name is just so boring and annoying~~

it's so overrated...

[hell's_belle]

I loved the solo version of What's My Name that leaked a while back, I really hate Drake's verse and I kinda really hate the song when he's in it

[Picaflor 7/4]

anyone else really love the night version of who's that chick?

[TITANIC]

I love Complicated Only girl and California king bed. thats all.
maybe I have to put more attentiont this album. that would be nice if David Guetta compose the whole album for er. Only girl is her best track so far

Just 5 years into her career, Rihanna is now in 5th place for female singers with the most #1 singles. Only Janet Jackson (10), Whitney Houston (11), Madonna (12) and Mariah Carey (18) have more.

Cool!

Rated R has officially passed the million mark and re-enters the Bilboard 200 this week at #186

Loud expected to sell 100k + first week in the UK

In a strong week for new releases, Rihanna’s Loud (Def Jam) looks set to debut at two, after selling more than 34,000 copies on its first day of release, while albums from Bruce Springsteen, Pink, Andre Rieu and Shayne Ward should all debut in the top 10.

[NintendoHTF1242]

Man, I remember when she debuted with Pon de Replay. God that song was overplayed. I like how she remained relevant throughout her career. Something most singers can't really achieve. You go Rihanna!

[TITANIC]

even Britney who is extremely popular at her peak could not achieve this record.

Too bad again she releases the album not in perfect timing, Pink release her best album and then extremely strong sales from Taylor swift as well

[ストロボ・EdGE]

^Best albums aren't really all that popular in the US, and Taytay is in a league all her own.

Got my deluxe edition yesterday <3 I've only heard What's my name?, Only girl and a little bit of LTWYL II so I'm really excited!! I think I'm going to watch the DVD first~

[Kingdom]

In just a few years, she'll pass Whitney and Janet. They are kinda flopping now in their careers and Rihanna is only 22. Mariah and Madonna will be hard to top

It's so weird to think that she's only 1 1/2 years older than me, still.
