Rihanna Is Musical Viagra

Filed under: Rihanna > Music Minute

ririrules.jpg

Pop sweetheart Rihanna has accomplished a super impressive thing!

Her album, Good Girl Gone Bad, has produced EIGHT charted singles, according to Billboard.

All of which have done well!!!!

That's huge! Some people are lucky to get two 'hit' songs off an album!

The last person to do this was Shania Twain . Her album, Come On Over, produced eight hits from 1997-1999.

However, RiRi was able to crank out her eight in less time than Miz Twain.

It only took Jay-Z's prodigy one year and seven months.

Here is a summary of Rihanna's eight charting tracks from "Good Girl Gone Bad," in chronological order, and their peak position:

"Umbrella," No. 1 for seven weeks (2007) [Rihanna featuring Jay-Z]
"Shut Up and Drive," No. 15 (2007)
"Hate That I Love You," No. 7 (2007) [Rihanna featuring Ne-Yo]
"Don't Stop the Music," No. 3 (2008)
"Take a Bow," No. 1 for one week (2008)
"If I Never See Your Face Again," No. 51 (2008) [Maroon 5 featuring Rihanna]
"Disturbia," No. 1 for two weeks (2008)
"Rehab," No. 91 to date (2008)

Well done, RiRi!!

You gotta release Breaking Dishes next and go for NINE singles!!!!!!!

    WORD TO BREAKING DISHES! THAT SONG IS SOOOO HOT



  10. 10

    i thought she did better than that, so just 3 number 1s?justin did that too right?and in less time…RIHANNA IS SO OVER RATED.



  11. 11

    Umbrella was the worst and most annoying song ever made.
    Shut up and drive was shitty.
    Dont stop the music sucked and was a ripped off song.
    Take a bow was crap and put me to sleep.
    Disturbia is almost as bad as umbrella. Royally sucks.
    Rehab, another horrible piece of shit by Rhianna.
    How do people like this garbage?



  12. 12

    BUT, she also re-released the album in order to acheive this–SHANIA did NOT.

    the only artist EVER to have 7 Top 5 singles from one album was Janet Jackson from her Rhythm Nation CD.
    #1 Miss You Much
    #2 Rhythm nation
    #1 Escapade
    #3 Alright
    #2 Come Back To Me
    #1 Black Cat
    #1 Love Will Never Do (Without You)

  31. 31

    WTF Perez??? This is Britney's time!!!!



  32. 32

    half those songs weren't even on the original record…..she copped out and 're-released' good girl gone bad instead of doing another album…rihanna is a loser



  33. 33

    Re: CDNGIRL – stop hating, its unattractive



  34. 34

    Re: mahogany

  35. 35

    Re: starburst65
    you guys are fucked



  36. 36


  37. 37

    yah unfortunantly her album still hasn't sold well… when Shania Twain did it her album sold 20 million copies…. Rihanna hasnt even sold 2 million copies… she gets barely shit for single sales



  38. 38

    It should be good girl gone bad.



  39. 39

    Breakin Dishes and Sell Me Candy should have been singles before Please Don't Stop The Music and Shut Up and Drive…they are much better songs…



  40. 40

    OVERRATED! Can't wait til her career vanishes!



  41. 41

    Breaking Dishes is the best song!
    Why isn't it a single!!!!



  42. 42

    she didn't have surgery dumb asses she's naturally beautiful…like most black people are…stop fuckin hatin' dip shits…hi haters



  43. 43

    YES!
    Breaking Dishes is one of my FAVORITES from RiRi!!
    You tell her Perez!

    I love Rihanna, she is a musical GODESS.



  44. 44

    Shania didn't have to go back into the studio to add new songs to her album to drum up more sales or add to her list of hit singles. In addition she sold over 39 million copies of her come on over and she crossed over with this album to the Pop, AC and Country charts, staying in the billboard charts for 22 months. This by far surpasses Rihanna's efforts.

  45. Fweez says – reply to this


    45

    Fuck this bitch .. she is sucks
    her songs are soooooooo fuckin bad !!

    and her new video the worst video eveeeeeeeeeer



  46. 46

    yeah and we're also in a different musical era, where selling records isn't as easy. hence free downloading etc…Rhianna is getting with the new program dummies…no one is going to sell records like artists did at one point in time….for the last time, stop fuckin' hatin' and give props where props are due…some of you muthafuckas can't even sell a stick of gum let alone a fuckin' record…so go kill ur fuckin' selves already

  47. zmacs says – reply to this


    47

    honestly, i can't stand rihanna. she's not that great of a singer. she basically talks, not sings. her voice is trembly.
    just my opinion.



  48. 48

    these punk asses are censoring my comments…perez is a fuckin hater!

  49. vee90 says – reply to this


    49

    yes yesss breaking dishes!!!!!!!!!



  50. 50

    Morissette's Jagged Little Pill was close, with 6 charting singles.



  51. 51

    This cd has been out for a long time. Usually, an artist releases four singles from an album, and then produces another one after that. Rihanna basically re-released "Good Girl Gone Bad" and added a new songs. Obviously, she'll have more than four released singles.



  52. 52

    Re: RolliePollie – Rihanna is at 2 million in america 7 million worldwide right now, 7 million copies is an amazing feat at this day and age. Artist will never sell as much as they did before. she's doing really good.



  53. 53

    And it's all thanks to NeYo's abilities to write hit songs. If "Good Girl Gone Bad" hadn't been reloaded with these new songs… well her album would be well average.



  54. 54

    i hate this bitch.fuck rihanna



  55. 55

    She is this generations musics PHENOM, not punk ass Kanye West.



  56. 56

    I THINK SHE'S A BEAUTY BUT I HATE HER VOICE,YOU CAN TELL IT'S MECHANICALLY ENHANCED.I DON'T KNOW WHO SHE HAD TO SLEEP WITH
    TO GET HER RECORD DEAL.



  57. 57

    Re: CDNGIRL – CDNBOY she isn't try n to be no whiter than eminme's try n to be black



  58. 58

    Hey why the hate on cdngirl. its her opinion, people back offffff. if she thinks shes white then thats her opinion. and yes why doesnt she just make a new frickin album. its only a matter of time before she releases all the songs off her album.



  59. 59

    Re: RAMADA – She slept with Jay-Z to get that record deal.

  60. DALE says – reply to this


    60

    She has no writing credit whatsoever! so it doesn't matter how well the songs do, the royalties go to the songwriters who wrote the songs.



  61. 61

    Re: pinkbarbie
    she slept with kanye to be on glow in the dark



  62. 62

    i'm so over her……she's starting to become so self absorbed. Her reign will be over once britney makes her comeback.



  63. 63

    Re: pinkbarbie – She slept with kanye to be in glow in the dark too



  64. 64

    the hatin on here is riduculus when she has the stats to back it all up she had hit records how many musicians noadays can do that props to her also she looks gorge in that pic



  65. 65

    RELEASE BREAKING DISHES



  66. 66

    She's so beautiful - she looks like a living doll.



  67. 67

    Wow…she is GORGEOUS!!



  68. 68

    Re: rachelinala
    Damn right, she's not a slob like the bag lady britney.



  69. 69

    i was gonna say…..i can't remember the last album to have this many singles pulled off of it…..and have them do so well…..

    that will all end once Britney reclaims her crown…..

    get it while you can riri



  70. 70

    Re: Sweetmomma – becasue we are gay…..and we eat that shit up



  71. 71

    yes! Loves breakin Dishes! Loves it! best song!!!!



  72. 72

    She might have all those hits, but nobody is buying her cd. And she is not headlining her own tour. Whatever little money she made, her management stole. That's a bit sad:( She needs to write her own music and start looking over her finances. DOWNLOAD ALL THESE TRACKS!!!!!



  73. 73

    She might have all those singles, but she doesn't sell cd's. I understand that the market is different, but if people really like someone they would go out and support them. Taylor Swift has been able to sell millions of records during this time. Poor Rihanna, she needs to look over her finances and stop going on vacations. I hear that she made little money from all these "chart topping" singles.



  74. 74

    i don't like "Rehab."
    But Rihanna's defeinitely gotta stop releasing singles from the same album. we need some NEW material!!!



  75. 75

    Breaking Dishes, as someone noted, was considered a single–but for some reason, radio started picking up on Don't Stop the Music instead, dictating which single would be next. I absolutely love Breaking Dishes, but I wonder how well it would actually do, because it is very similar in sound and style to Maneater by Nelly Furtado, and that amazing single went almost ignored.



  76. 76

    Re: Jay Baby – I think that is funny! She is at top of her game,cute and somewhat talented. And we notice her huge hand! LOL.so funny…..



  77. 77

    Agreed!! Breaking Dishes is SO good!



  78. 78

    yeah coz she keeps whoring out the same album instead of doing what everyone else does and get some new stuff out!



  79. 79

    hate rip-anna!



  80. 80

    i loveee breaking dishes
    she really needs to release that as a single



  81. 81

    I kinda like this balloon head!



  82. 82

    She is boring the hell out of me! It is so crazy that you really dont have to know how to sing to sale records. SO sad…..
