Published: Sunday 25th Nov 2012 by David

Roc Nation has done it again!

After spearheading the success of Rita Ora’s debut LP ‘ORA’, the Jay Z led company have scored their latest UK #1 album with the Pop piece, ‘Unapologetic‘.

Exciting details below…

Boasting contributions from Labrinth, The Dream, Emeli Sande and Elijah Blake, the album stormed the British album’s tally this week days before it’s set to follow suit in the US.

        Fresh off her buzzworthy headlining performance at Friday’s massive iHeartRadio Festival, and her spectacular opening performance at the 2012 MTV VMA’s where she won the night’s biggest award, Video Of The Year for “We Found Love,” worldwide superstar Rihanna opens the next chapter of her reign as this century’s Queen of the Billboard Hot 100 with her new single “Diamonds.” “Diamonds” made its global premiere last September 26. Just weeks ago, Live Nation announced the Rihanna Diamonds World Tour 2013.

  12. COCKINESS November 25, 2012

    Rihanna makes it a staggering three Number 1 albums in three years as Unapologetic follows in the footsteps of last year’s Talk That Talk and 2010’s Loud by going all the way to the top of the Official Albums Chart with UK sales of almost 100,000 copies this week.

    Congratulations to RiRi who has now equalled Queen of Pop Madonna’s chart record for female artist with the most consecutive Number 1 albums. They share this achievement with fellow solo artists Eva Cassidy and Norah Jones.

    Unapologetic is Rihanna’s fourth Number 1 album overall (her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, also peaked at Number 1 back in 2007), and completes an amazing 12 months for the Bajan superstar. In the UK alone, she’s sold over three million singles, and has become the second biggest selling female singles artist of all time (behind Madonna). And she’s still only 24!

    One Directon are at Number 2 with Take Me Home, while fellow X Factor alumni Little Mix enter the Official Albums Chart at Number 3 with debut album DNA, becoming this week’s second highest new entry.

    Led Zeppelin’s live album Celebration Day is at Number 4, while Michael Bublé completes this week’s Official Albums Chart Top 5 with the deluxe version of last year’s biggest-selling seasonal album Christmas.

    This album is defo not her best imo, but there are some good songs on there and this girl’s success does not seem to be slowing down. Congrats to her and ROC.

      “Diamonds” is the first single from Rihanna’s upcoming seventh studio album on Island Def Jam, details to be announced in the weeks and months ahead. “Diamonds” was produced by Norwegian hitmakers Stargate, whose track record of worldwide Top 10 hits with Rihanna stretches back to 2006’s “Unfaithful,” and includes “Don’t Stop the Music,” “Take A Bow,” “Rude Boy,” “Only Girl (In the World),” and “What’s My Name” (featuring Drake), and “Talk That Talk.”

  43. Monstarebel (DIAMONDS IS NUMBER 1) November 25, 2012

    The Only shade I see is Rita YALL can laugh all you want but Rihannas getting them albums off the shelves… Rita sure ain’t…. that fact ora hasnt sold over 200k is the real Kiiii

    Rita is Rihannas shadow…

  44. Benron (Shine Bright Like Rihanna’s 100 million records sold plaque) November 25, 2012

    EVERYBODY, lets review Samantha’s logic.

    Rita Ora had a pre-decided marketing plan to imitte someone (Like Rih during Music of the sun), and now Sam is using her to THREATEN the same fanbase who should her CONSUMERS. Samantha is the biggest urban blog in the U.k. thanks to an actual quality writer who used to work here. In the beginning, him and other blogs inspired all the Rita/Rihanna comparisons and made the Rihanna fans hate her. So Sam directly contributed to Rita flopping #POORDAT

    Also, congratulations to Roc Nation! But we all know albums sell of the persons name. If Beyonce, Lady Gaga, or even Katy Perry put this out it would smash. But If Ciara, Kelly Rowland or Beyonce sister who is trapped in the attic like Harry potter put this out it would FLOP. So congratulations to the ever hardworking RIHANNA, for her amazing unique voice, work ethic and album producing skills

        Rihanna’s Video Of The Year at the MTV VMA’s capped a near year-long campaign in support of her sixth studio album, Talk That Talk (released November 21, 2011). The album’s string of global hits spanned over a year, starting with the worldwide #1 smash, “We Found Love” (featuring Calvin Harris). The song spent 10 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, beating Rihanna’s personal best of 7 weeks at #1 in 2007, for “Umbrella” (featuring Jay-Z).

      • Lax November 25, 2012

        Rihanna made history as “We Found Love” became her 11th #1 hit on the Hot 100, and her 20th Top 10 hit. She collected her 20 Hot 100 Top 10 singles faster than any other solo artist, as reported by Billboard.com, and placed Rihanna second only to the Beatles. In the ‘20-and-over’ Top 10 hits race, Rihanna enters a very rarefied field as just the fifth woman to earn the honor.

        I think this song was written for Sam, Eminem, Flo Rida, and Drake to be honest.

      • Benron (Shine Bright Like Rihanna’s 100 million records sold plaque) November 25, 2012

        There should be a RIHmix. Flo_rida has made unofficial remixes for the 3 talk that talk singles, tweeted her to call him and made a song about him. She gave him a big, prcious, rare, goldmine of DUST. And we already no about Samantha and Drakevelyn.

        Lol at Samantha’s anger though, is she on her period. Is she like that woman in the bible (forget her name) who had a 12 year period.

      • MC November 25, 2012

        What is up with these obsessed bottoms? Like seriously though? They are more pressed than idk who, but they need to get it together.

      • Benron (Shine Bright Like Rihanna’s 100 million records sold plaque) November 25, 2012

        For Real. EMinem should RELAPSE on coke to get over Mariah.

      • MC November 25, 2012

        For real though! He’s been rapping about her since 2002, like obsessed much? Him, Christina, Nicki Minaj should collaborate about Mariah since they all have to talk about her. Flo Rida and the fabulous Drakeisha talk sing about/rap about Rihanna.

    Just read the review The Rolling Stone journalist about his time on the 777 tour. Well basically, he said it was an all around hot mess. Journalists were starving on the plane and stuff SMH. RocNation, WTF?

    • wrinkle flop ora November 25, 2012

      Good. It is not a vacation, it is work and in the field of journalist, You get the good with the bad. Journalist are not stars, so they should be dammed if they expect VIP first class treatments. This is their job. Anderson cooper goes to Haiti and reports from war zone and chaos. HE DOES NOT COMPLAIN. WHY? COS IT IS HIS JOB TO GET THE STORY AND KEEP IN MOVING.

      If they want luxury food and glamor. They should become Movie stars. WTF?

    Why are they giving this to Roc nation and IGNORING THE WORK HER LABEL , DEF JAM HAVE DONE FOR HER? What do you have against LA REID, SHakir stewart RIP and steve barrels? WHAT do u have against def jam? THE CEO of DEFA JAM traveled with Rihanna on 777 tour. It was his idea. How u not give props to def jam? I mean would you snub Roc nation and give props to Rita Ora’s managers, Tune first artist – that is her management.

    At the end of the day, If roc nation were so good and jay brown and Tyty were amazing. How comes they have failed to make stars out of Rita Jocole and Alexis jordan/ Bridget kelly?

    • g unit November 26, 2012

      Are you an idiot ?? check the credits. the album was executive produced by roc nation. Stargate who made the beat to diamonds is also managed by roc nation. Get your facts right. Def jam is just in charge of paying for the promotion and distribution her music.

  51. wrinkle flop ora November 25, 2012

    She is contacted to Def Jam by law. She can fire ROC NATION AT ANY TIME. It is her right to fire her lawyer, agent and manager. When she fires roc nation. WHAT WILL JAY Z DO THEN?

  52. CHUDDS November 25, 2012

    Ha! This site is a mess when it comes to shade. Keep thinking that Rita’s weird, hairy, flop ass will ever come for Rih’s throne. NOOOOOOOOT!

    If Unapologetic debuts at Anything less than #1 lets see if <b. Roc Nation is even mentioned.

  57. Beyonce’s Weave November 25, 2012

    RocNation??? LMAO Davidina you tried it, you really tried it. Rihanna and her manager are the only ones responsible for Rihanna’s success, not RocNation, not Gay-Z, not Island DefJam, not LA Reid.

    Why didn’t your gay ass post this article?

    Rihanna equals Madonna’s chart record with Unapologetic

    Rihanna makes it a staggering three Number 1 albums in three years as Unapologetic follows in the footsteps of last year’s Talk That Talk and 2010’s Loud by going all the way to the top of the Official Albums Chart with UK sales of almost 100,000 copies this week.

    Congratulations to RiRi who has now equalled Queen of Pop Madonna’s chart record for female artist with the most consecutive Number 1 albums. They share this achievement with fellow solo artists Eva Cassidy, Susan Boyle and Norah Jones.

    Unapologetic is Rihanna’s fourth Number 1 album overall (her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, also peaked at Number 1 back in 2007), and completes an amazing 12 months for the Bajan superstar. In the UK alone, she’s sold over three million singles, and has become the second biggest selling female singles artist of all time (behind Madonna). And she’s still only 24.

    Anyway like Rihanna says, haters are liars. Congratulations Rihanna.

  58. Beyonce’s Weave November 25, 2012

    Hahahahaha OMG I just pipped the Official Charts Company’s Urban album charts and I never thought this would happen but it did. The charts look like this,

    #1 Rihanna – Unapologetic

    #17 Rihanna – Talk That Talk

    #19 Rihanna – LOUD

    #35 Rihanna – Good Girl Gone Bad

    #37 Beyonce – 4

    LMAO The navy throws the best shade, 4 phucking albums ahead of THIEFyonce, LMAO I’m dying.

  60. SHA (F*** The Navy and LAX) November 25, 2012

    If Rihanna sell anything close to what they predict then Def Jam most likely bought the albums.

  61. MissImpartial November 25, 2012

    This article is coping mechanism for Sam. He can’t take the success that Rihanna has currently. You must excuse Sam his nerves are fragile at the moment.
