Rihanna is set to release a remixed version for her platinum ‘Rated R’ LP. As reported by Rihannadaily.com, the record is set to hit stores in February and is being primarily produced by DJ Brooklyn Zoo. The electro-producer took to Twitter to reveal the following details about the project:
Def Jam asked me to pick 10 Rihanna tracks to remix, for a complete remix album release in February. My deadline is January 18.
I’m planning on releasing a Rated R mega-mix with all the snippets in January.
Just finished my fix for “Rihanna/Gangsta 4 life”, now working on Rihanna: “Wait Your Turn”,”Rude Boy”,”Fire Bomb” and “Te Amo”.
Started o/t last 6 tracks for the Rihanna “Rated R” remix album. Russian Roullette, Hard, Stupid in Love, Photographs are approved by Def Jam.
Working on a mix for the refix album I’m doing for Rihanna/Def Jam… grinded on the fix for “RockStar”. Doing 10 tracks in total.
This news does not come as a shock at all. It seems that Def Jam is using the exact same formula for all of their major acts because Mariah Carey’s ‘Angels Advocate’ remix LP is currently on track for March 9th. Either way, unless they have found a way to remix Rihanna’s voice, I doubt that we have much to look forward to except ten more songs of nails running across a chalkboard.
In what way are they remixed? If it’s just another artist adding a verse I will not be buying. If it’s just a lame dance beat added which all sounds the same I will not be buying. However I love the album or ready so I’m happy with it.
Meh
STILL BETTER THAN WHISPERS LIKE JANET AND CIARA THOSE NEED TO BE REMIXED LOOOOOOOOOOOOOUDER BC I CANT UNDERSTAND THEM
Your constant Rihanna bashing is very unbecomming and is down right annoying (!) –particularly because you report on her every move, and every chance you get. If It weren’t for your incessant interjections that you abhore her vocal stylings, the sheer number of Rihanna posts would indicate that you are OBSESSED. Not. a. good. look. It comes off as petty. Now, I just scoll over the posts beause I’m like, “Trent’s going to be a hater, again.” It’s not enjoyable to read…And, that is definitely one of the reasons why I abandoned blogs like Perez: to rid my blog experience from the unnecessary hating…Maybe, you should take a different approach. (?)
The album is perfect!we dont need a remix but it is good i will download it
FLOP! S*** gonna flop just like the original…
I HATE REMIX ALBUMS! I WOULD OF EVEN PREFERRED A RE RELEASE.
Ehh Grapeshit!!!! You’ll never know what it’ll sound like!!!!
So…. keep a lil quiet with the bad words!!!!
def jam is really doing whatever it takes now…this here is just more proof that rated crap is not selling..where have u heard of an album being remixed two months after release when it is supposed to be her fastest selling album??? rihanna is flopping real hard and that is fact…
good luck def jam, this b**** is on her way to irrelevant world..noone will buy this s*** just like rated crap…so is rude boy still the next single or will it be the remix??? things are really bad over at def jam…oh wells…
HIHIHIHI Go f*** yourself
Whitney’s re-release of her debut is a GREAT buy- 2 discs, originals remasterd, remixes, 5 or 6 videos and 2 previously unreleased live performances of ‘I am changing’ and ‘samlfy’, booklet, thank u letter from whitny and reflections from clive plus acappella of how will knw for $13.99 on jan 26
Trent/sam u guys need to profile this.
Constantly hating on Rihanna aint getting u nowhere GrapeJuice! Her determination is beyond astounding and her success is climbing steadily….
We dont give a f*** about about your “Doubts” on Rated R remix or anything related to Rihanna at that because you have only one mission… and that is to defame her! Gain a little more TACT and perhaps u might come across as objective.
Anyway, the original album is awesome! Hard is #9 on Itunes bring Rihanna to her 13th #10s, tying with Beyonce! I’m excited for the Remixes!
That Rihanna reign just wont let up! Who mad? lol
@robert Hard jumps from #15 to #9! Rated R, has jumped from #14 to #11 on the Billboard 200 chart
NO FLOP HERE…SORRY
@SUCH A F***** GENTLEMEN
Yet “Soft” and “Rated (F)lop didn’t hit the number one spot. B***h can’t get a number one album to save her f**king life. Like i said before… She should leave the music scene alone and go model high fashion… cause that’s the only thing she good at.
Once again, you have nothing positive to say but you insist on a Rihanna post a day because you know that is the only post that will have serious comment traffic! You hate her and her music so much so why do you bother wasting your time on her? I mean seriously?! You guys are trying way too hard to show your hate! Rihanna fans don’t bother wasting your time coming on here to defend her! It’s obvious that is the only reason why there is always a Rihanna post on this site is because they know a lot of arguments will definitely result! HOT MESS!!! Blacks always hating on blacks!!! Recipe for failure!!! Losers!!!

Where is “Lil D***”‘s album?? #97!!! ROTFL….. Nobody wants to hear his b**** ass braying… cause he sure cant spin a lovely melody to save life! Rihanna has a CHOICE to leave the music scene…Music done kicked LIL D***’s a** to the curve in 2009 leaving his a** broke! GRAFFLOPPY is pathetic and beyond redemption! 3 spaces from #100 spot! lol
I don’t think a remix is necessary, because Rated R is solid just the way it is. But I guess remixing is the thing nowadays, I personally like originals.

RIHANNA IS STACKING UP THE HITS
HER ALBUM AND SINGLE MOVING UP THE CHARTS AGAIN.
UP NEXT: RUDE BOY (2ND WORLD SINGLE) = #1 Worldwide SMASH
THANKS BOO!!!!!
@WINTZ
Rather it’s flopping or not… he got talent (stage presence, vocal & dance ability) unlike RiYAWNna aka RiYONCE aka riTARD aka RiFeFe dobson aka RiCYLCE aka Pon De Forehead aka the list goes on. Rihanna is a product gone wrong. No one was checking for her until she made that drastic style change and that song Umbrella. Took 3 damn albums just to get noticed. Yeah he was wrong for what he did… but at least he aint going around talking about the situation trying to boost up record sells which failed for RiHOEna. Now she talking about he was controlling… Trying to get more attention. Rated (F)lop is crap… trash. Although i haven’t listened to it… just knowing she made a album sounding like a slaughtered goat lets me know it is. “Russion Flopette” & “The Wait Is Ova, But Why Am I Flopping?” Rihanna is the number one example of being successful in the music industry with no got damn talent. None what so ever… Just getting by off of looks and spreading her legs open on stage (which is all she does). She need to her take her ass back to Barabados. Island H**.
ahhhh….here we go again. It looks like it’s just gonna be an album of club remixes. Mimi’s remix album is different than this. Mimi’s just adding guests to her album, and a couple new songs thinking that it’s gonna make people wanna buy her music again. Club remix albums never really sell anyway, so it just seems like a little bonus for the fans.
LOL ROBERT!!! Pon De Replay & SOS were international HITS before Umbrella!!! She began her reign then boo!!!
Janet’s two albums before Control flopped and she MADE a change by pairing up with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and look where she is at today, LEGEND STATUS BOO WITH 100 MILLION ALBUMS AND HITS UNDER HER BELT!!!
NEXT!!
LOL@ JANET JACKSON HASNT BEEN SEEN SINCE EARLY DECEMBER OF 2009. MEANING SHE HASNT MADE NOT ONE APPEARENCE IN 2010. & YET HATERS STILL MENTIONS HER.LOL
HA HA HA HA JANET IS THE LEGEND>>>>>>>>>> RIHANNA IS THE GOAT SOUNDING HO.
IDK WHY THRERIRI STANS CONTINUE TO COME HERE WHEN U KNO HE IS GOIN BASH HER SECONDLY ITS HIS OPINION SO HE CAN BASH HER ALL HE WANTS IT REALLY SHOULDN’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE WEATHER HER BASHES HER OR PRAISES HER #JUSTSAYIN
@ robert
You know, you sound so ignorant. I haven’t heard the album, but it’s trash, and a slaughtered goat? Really!!! And Chris Brown can sing???? I know Rihanna ain’t that great of a singer, but neither is Chris.
@robert, what vocal ability does chris have. He sounds like a six year old when he sings. So stop with that mess. He may be able to dance, and so does rihanna. So I don’t see what your point is. Rihanna was the bigger of the two internationally if you must know. She was already a hit maker with Pon de replay, Sos, Unfaithful, those hits put her on the international map. So you need to wheel and come again with that mess. And chris did speak on the situation in his interview with a Uk magazine, as well as all his radio and Tv interviews, so what are you saying? The reason you don’t hear him saying anything anymore, is because he’s not getting anymore mainstream interviews. People are not checking for him like that anymore, except for the low level hoodrats, who don’t mind being with a man who cheats, and slaps his women around from time to time.
I think Nicki Minaj should be on the remix of RockStar 101, Drake should be on Photographs remix, Trey Songz on RudeBoy, Neyo on Stupid in Love and put Justin Timberlake on Fire Bomb and i dont know who should be on the rest of her HOTT songs
@ prince
I dunno if it’s gonna have any guests. It sounds like it’s just gonna be a dance remix album. Trent n’ Sam would just like you to think she’s getting desperate like Mimi, and doing the guest remix album like she did.
you rihanna b*** licker fans….if you can’t handle the truth then i suggest you get the heck out of this site. This is their site they can say whatever they want so quit whining about it yes!!!
@ thestar
and what truth would that be?
@WTF why do you continually come on Rihanna posts to spread your pure hate??? If you don’t like her don’t post
here comes the remarks tgj…really? You guys are lame
When are these artists going to learn, that if no one is going to buy the original album what makes you think we’re going to buy a remix album. HUH Rihanna? Huh Mariah?
platinum? world wide yes..but it has not gone platinum in the US.
nice try.
What’s with the number pushing by these die-hard stans? Quantity doesn’t always mean quality you know. In simpler terms, who will remember this trash in 5 years time?
Quality affects quantity hence, GRAFFLOPY ranking #97 on iTunes. Cause its WHACK!
Rated R is awesome, continue the good work Rihanna!
It’s very comical to see a Rihanna Stan question the singing ability of Chris Brown or any other REAL singer especially since you are the only idiots that seem to feel that “Rihanna has singing ability”,she is simply horrid,no matter what you say……
Chris has went gold in New Zealand. ICTY sold another 77,000 on itunes,oh and it’s already platinum.Crawl is gold and Grafitti has sold 800,000 worldwide.Chris is in Milan and he was at a function with The Missoni’s today……
it’s funny how rihanna sickens u so much that u can’t stop posted about her
@ Symone
Stop with the lies boo.
Chris Brown debuted at #7 in US and completely missed the Top 40 in every country outside the United States
He has sold 260,000 copies worldwide and hasnt been on the top 50 World chart in weeks.
Sit down with the lies.
NEED PROOF? here you go boo:
http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm
Somebody want their money that’s all DefJam wasted a lot on this one, the producers on it was a lot of money in it’s self… That is just showing that Rated R was a big flop, February for remixes and it just came out? FLOP, and they want money… Alicia has out sold already in 4wks and Gaga, Beyonce who has been out for 60 wks already world wide is right behind her and the Pudding, Icing, Candles, you name it Susan Boyle is getting ready to pass her entire career of albums if she keeps up what she’s doing. So Riri go make some money. This just puts all the striping in to perspective, H* get out there and make us some money…
@ britney
RIAA Certified it platiinum boo which means that it will sell 1,000,000 in US very soon.
“Chris has went gold…” Is english your first language? Who cares about that woman beater whiny liitle boy?
Rihanna was doing just fine before he came alonG!
What’s with the number pushing by these die-hard stans? Quantity doesn’t always mean quality you know. In simpler terms, who will remember this trash in 5 years time?
********************************************************************************************
THe same haters who said that five years ago, back in her pon de replay years. Same arguments, different year. And she’s still here. Bet you guys will be saying the same thing 5 years from now. SMH
@why still in the business, and I bet she’s still making more money than your hating ass. Even if she stopped singing today, she can still live off the money she made and never have to work again. Can you say the same?
that symone just love a rihanna post.
i bet this is the highlight of her day. play by play for symone…. gets up early ,runs to computer type tgj … omg there’s a rihanna post she exclaims omg just what i’ve been waiting for she says to herself.symone reads …what! rihanna has 13 top tens only tying wid beyonce!symone says to herself as she will never say this outloud for anyone to hear”this is really good news but i have to find a way to throw shade..” the best symone can come up with is rihanna can’t sing & is ugly. yeah that should do it she says. but inside she knows that she really wish she could b like rihanna..tall.beautiful,smart ,admire by many & ppl buying her cds & throwing endorsements @ her left & right.
symone post her most hateful comments crawl back to beD & cry b’cuz she knows that…
THAT RIHANNA REIGN JUST WON’T LET UP!!!!
Um Rated R is not platinum. It’s barely gold.
Who didn’t see this coming? She has to recoup all that money spent. It probably won’t be the only re-release.
Um rated r is platinum world wide. Get used to it, and don’t act surprised!!
I see from the pic that rhi rescued 1 of the dolls her idol Bey Blowed up in the Diva Video.- Thats Sweet of her…
@symone why are you here?
Yet when I’m on a cb post and say something you Jump on me
and you bring him up on a Rihanna centered post???
Being a hypocrite???
Yup I think that’s what your doing
that’s what your good at.
Smh
Control issues hmm….she discovers a text message from another woman and flies into a rage, berating him, and snatching the keys from the ignition and throwing them out the window (this is the reason Chris walked away, because the keys were lost). Talk about control issues..
@Jesse love so if your or woman was cheating and texting other men
you wouldn’t confront them??
No bash on Rihanna for her grind but why release a remix album when it took so long for the original album to sell?
Remix albums are just another way to try and keep someone out in hope that the original album gets more sales. If they aren’t going to change anything but the beat and maybe add another verse what is the point of an remix album?
Rated R hasn’t gone platinum. If that’s the case then Gaga’s Fame Monster and Alicia Keys’ Freedom of Element have gone platinum too because they were selling more. Gaga’s EP has sold more than Rated R to date and so has A.Keys album. Why isnt’ there any mention of their albums going platinum??? Oh right because Def Jam is a lying ass label that likes to inflate numbers for publicity. again people RATED R HAS NOT GONE PLATINUM YET.
@ Julia
RIAA has certified it platinum sweetie
That means it will sell 1,000,000 in the near future. Retailers have it.
No need to throw shade at Def Jam.
Rihanna is a hot commodity. Her singles are doing well and she’s sold 1.3Million worldwide thus far.
Why Does All these f****** haters keep saying her album flop? it never f****** did.. in the second of the album release when the album only sold 59,000 all you damn haters keep saying her album is going to flop…ever since it came out the sales have been increasing world wide..the album sold over 500,000 copies and went platinum within in a month. in every single retailer that carry the album there has been a high demand for it thus bringing the album to platinum status in the shipments. And Trent your a f****** d*** head every single post you post on rihanna is negative do you ever look at the positive? if you hate her so much why don’t your stupid ass stop posting comments on her. that just shows you are more obsessed with her then the rest of us which mean your ass is a hater in denial.. you really like Rihanna but you are just trying to hide it. as far as the remix album I think it will be great for Rated R sales. I don’t think they are releasing it because of the album sales because it has sold over 1 million copes worldwide. I think it’s more like pleasing the fans. I’m looking forward to the remix album and I’m going to in fact buy it. Chris brown need to release like a remix album and like 3 deluxe editions because his album is in fact the one that flopped all over the motherfucking place, his album goes more and more down the charts each week like not buy 3 spots but sometime 15 or 16 spots down. so the next person that says rihanna album is flopping your in denial because you know for a fact that her album went platinum and you want to see her fail so much you damn haters can stand the face that rated R right now is a commercial success. you haters probably stay up all night because you can’t sleep because you are all motherfucking made because you know why >>>>>>>>>>>
BECAUSE RIHANNA REIGN JUST WON’T LET UP!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
How can Rihanna really have any credibility? Selling your CD for .99 cents is craptastic. CRAPTASTIC. So whatever her numbers may be (which continue to be argued), I can’t really compare her to the likes of Gaga or even Alicia Keys, Beyonce, or any other current female in terms of numbers, because she sold her CD for 99 cents. If you feel your album is the s***, and the best ever, why sell it for less than a dollar? All the Rihanna stans need to explain how a chick who sells her cd for pennies is credible. Answer that.
BITCHESN MAD THEY FAV ARTIST IS A FLOOP
RIHANNA A HIT
OOOOOOH ARE WE SAD
RR TOP TEN IN 20 COUNTIRES WOOP WOOP
HARD TOP 10 US
RUDE BOY WILL BE ANOTHE RHIT
OH SAD UR FAV ARTZIST IS FLOPPIN
OOOOOOH DO U WANNA CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
RIHANNA F*** THESE B****** UP
Chris cant sing for s***… but he’s sure damn good at braying LOL
@jeemzy
The truth being people with common sense know she can’t SANG to save her life! she should just stick to modelling or with the way shes going with her image wouldn’t surprise me if she goes into p*** industry!
BUT if it makes you happy i do like photographs from that album but thats it…the rest are turd.
Shut the f*** up aries did you once think that maybe the label was making it affordable for some fans that maybe couldn’t buy it.. hello you air headed b**** we are kind of in a economic rescission I think that it’s good that on some website she is selling it for 99 cents. and plus it’s only on website.. if you got to f****** target or walmart where I bought my copy I spent 12 dollars and change. It like all you haters can get enough that Rihanna is Actually doing well with Rated R, and that fact that she is, is burning all of you up on the inside. maybe all the haters should take a break from blogging because when the next news comes out that her album actually sold over a million copies sometime this year then all you haters are just going to drop dead from heart-attacks.
RIHANNA REIGN WON’T LET UP!!! R
she’s going to sell platinum really soon and she barely push past 500K? she just pushed 27K in week 7? and she’s going platinum soon?!? do you rihanna stans purposely say these delusional/idiotic things just so rihanna will look special with more comments under her post? lol i have a hard time believing u r all this stupid
this mess was a flop first time around, LOL a remix is going to make things any better? A remix album sooo soon. Talk about damage control smh so damn desperate hang it up talentless
@ rihanna flop

STFU!
@ Rihanna Flop
Yo Dumb Ass Just Mad that the plan fact is the album is selling good.. it is so far her fasted selling album to date. maybe your dumb ass is the stupid one. her album have been climbing up the chart last week it was 14 this week it’s 11 and plus hard is at a new peak of #9 on the hot 100.. you need to look at the facts and f****** numbers before you open your stink as mother f****** mouth… And for you information the album has sold almost 2 million copes worldwide.. get your damn facts straight and get through your thick head that:
RIHANNA’S REIGN JUST WON’T LET UP!!!!!
IM SORRY RIHANNA FANS BUT SELLING 27K IN YOUR 7TH WEEK ON THE CHART IS NOT GOOD! THE ALBUM HAS ONLY SOLD 530K IN US AND 1.2 MILLION WORLDWIDE. I SEE A LOT OF FABRICATIONS FROM THE RIHANNA STANS!!! GET USE TO THE FLOPNESS SWEETIES! RIHANNA DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A TOP 5 SONG FROM THIS ALBUM YET! WHY YA’LL THINK DEF JAM WANTS TO RELEASE A REMIX ALBUM NEXT 2 MONTHS AFTER THE ORIGINAL RELEASE……BECAUSE IT’S NOT DOING WELL!!!!!!!!!!! DUH!!!!!! YOU RIHANNA FANS ARE SO DELUSIONAL!
AND JUST BECAUSE THE ALBUM WENT UP FROM 14 TO 11 DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING BECAUSE THE ALBUM STILL SOLD LESS COPIES THAN THE PREVIOUS WEEK!!!
Smh..the Rihanna Stans cannot except the fact that their idol has no talent whatsoever..but to pose for cameras and grab her crotch..They so hung up on her looks they cannot see she doesnt bring anything to the table..She Cant Sing..She Cant Dance..I mean if u have a Bomb ass Voice..S*** U wont Need To Dance..But She Dont Have That..She Cant Write Her Own Music..Just because u add one sentence it doesnt mean u Co-Wrote S***..Man The Song Photographs wasnt even that B******..Her Album was a FLOP get use to it..Her Vocal Game is Not on Point..She’s So Bad..Her Reign Wont Let Up? Then How Come that H**’s Album Didnt Sell Outta This World..Cuz She’s So Bad and All..And U Rihanna Stans need To Stop Callin People Haters..Because They State The Facts..And Stop Comparing Her To Other Artists With Talent..That Take Their Craft Serious..And The Lames That Keep Bringin Up Chris Brown..Why? There’s no Reason to..He’s Not The Reason..She sucks..and Cant Sing..He Got Nothing to do With It..Dude Living his Life and Ya’ll Keep Bringing Him Up..So Ya’ll can defend that Brawd..Unlike Rihanna..Dude Got Talent
@smh
You are stating your opinion
that whole post is irrelevant.
Your opinion isnt the truth
its not a fact
rihanna stans can say whatever they want…
they support rihanna, you dont.
so dont go around saying rihanna fans need to accept the truth..
because there is no truth in what you say
its what you think and believe.
not what is actually true.
think about that one before you say what you say.
Dawon Shut yo b**** as up.. can you f****** see all rihanna’s album’s started out slow and in the end all of them did good.. go suck a d*** b****. even if it went from 14 to 11 on the charts is good the sales may have been low but the fact is that the album is rising…God damn mother f****** people is so motherfucking stupid. when her album actually sells over 1 million in the U.S all you haters are going to drop like f****** flies from the news.. and I’m just going to step all over ya.
all i have to say is yippee what a surprise!!!!!!!
My opinion is based on fact..what ur opinion based on? Fairy dust and sparkly trinkets..go get a pair of scissors and cut urself off of Rihanna’s pubic hairs please..she would like to lose the extra weight on her p****. Fanks o(.^_^.)o
LMAO @ ALL THE RIHANNA STANS THINKING THAT “RATED R” IS A SUCCESS! WHAT A SHAME! IT JUST SHOWS HOW MUCH OF A FAILURE RIHANNA AND HER FANS ARE! WHAT YOU RIHANNA STANS SHOULD KNOW IS THAT WHEN COMPANIES RELEASE REMIX ALBUMS OR RE-RELEASE ALBUMS THAT INDICATES THAT THEY ARE TRYING HARD TO PUSH MORE ALBUM SALES BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SALES FROM THE PREVIOUS ALBUM. DUH!!!! I.E. MARIAH’S MEMOIRS ALBUM(WHICH WAS A THE FLOP OF ALL FLOPS) AND RIHANNA’S GGGB! GGGB DIDN’T DO WELL AFTER THE FIRST RELEASE BUT TO SAVE MONEY RECORD COMPANIES PAY FOR TWO OR THREE EXTRA SONGS TO PUT ON THE ALBUM AND RELEASE IT TO RECUPERATE THEIR MONEY AND MAKE AT LEAST A SMALL PROFIT! GEEEEZZ!!!!
Once again it’s a dance remix album, you know like dance/electronic mixes of all of the songs. Other artists have done them before too. It isn’t like Mimi who just added guests to her album in a desperate attempt to sell more records. She fell out of the top 100 of the billboard charts after her 8th week, Rihanna is #11 on billboard in her 7th week.
