Though her skill as a vocalist is still MIA, it’s safe to say that Rihanna‘s new LP ‘Unapologetic’ is shaping up to be her strongest yet.

Featuring contributions from Def Jam’s Elijah Blake, momentum for the album will be sure to rise today with the release of footage, pulled from its lead video ‘Diamonds‘.

As it stands, the LP’s pre-order sales has secured it an iTunes spot of #14, while ‘Diamonds‘ shines bright at #4 on the singles chart.

So, with this in mind, here’s hoping forthcoming live performances don’t wreck her chances of landing her first US #1.
