It appears Def Jam have pulled a switch-a-roo and opted to release ‘Rehab’ as Rihanna’s next single, as opposed to the previously confirmed ‘Breakin’ Dishes’. The video for the single, which must be the 7th or 8th release from Ms. Fenty’s ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ LP (can you say ‘overkill’, especially when she’s looking to drop another album in 09), features Justin Timberlake, who wrote the cut.Though lacking in the singing and performing area (basically what she is supposed to be known for), there’s no denying she looks great here. Shame her talents don’t stretch too far beyond that. 
What do you think of the pics?

hotttt
Amen to what you said sam, but i do love Rehab.
This song will blow Beyonce’s garbage two singles off the charts . Thank god, and im no Rihanna fan.
^^^^ Only a rihanna fan would say that! lol
lol i agree with you sam…she will dry up soon enough though…
its hilarious how people would even THINK to compare Rihanna to Beyonce…like Rihanna is TALENTLESS..shes just pretty as s*** and can dress her ass off! Plus she comes out with some kick ass singles..but thats its. Shes a singles artist..her album didnt sell and it wont.And she is TERRIBLE LIVE!!!! The most boring and stiff thing ive ever seen! OMG did u see her rendition of Vogue? That was horrible and that was probably her BEST performance to date! Ppl like her bc shes pretty and she can dress! S*** thats the only reason I like her! And i like her! im a fan! lol…But Beyonce..please…shes on a totally different level..aside from being physically flawless her vocals are AMAZING and shes a mind blowing performer! Like if u dont like her…go to a concert..u will LOVE her…shes like…no human.
ALL THE SINGLE LADIES! ALL THE SINGLE LADIES! ALL THE SINGLE LADIES! ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!!!!
IF YOU LIKED IT THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT A RING ON IT!
IF YOU LIKED IT THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT A RING ON IT!
DONT BE MAD WHEN YOU SEE THAT HE WANTS IT!
IF YOU LIKED IT THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT A RING ON IT!
OOOH OOOH OH! OOOH OOOH OH! OOOH OOOH OH! OOOH OOOH OH!!
I CANT STOP LISTENING TO IT! LOL
a duet of talentless singers. what a perfect combination.
IDK! i love rehab, the video seems like it going to be stiff though but we will see. P.S. i love rehab!
To the person who said her albums dont sell…GGGB has sold more then Bday.
And its not about being a fan of Rihanna to know that rehab will kick beyonce’s singles off the charts. Rihanna’s music appeals to a wider audience then Bey’s does. Compare her singles to the ones from Bday. Bday only had one hit.
wow……talentless? not even close….your opinion of havin talent is som1 thatblowa liek whitney and dances leik beyonce….more then 95 percent of the industy isnt even like that. if u actuallys earch around youll find video with rihanna singing accapela along time ago.. leik i said she cant blow but she isnt talentless.
i like Rehab, Rihanna is cute, dress her ss off, BUT SERIOUSLY this b**** & this album aint playin!! hahaha, she suks live tho, u guys r ALL rite/but hey, she got it rite now, we cnt hate…
Solange is talented? Ciara can sing? Sam you’re a hypocrite and you know it.
You have something personal against Rihanna.
I agree with the last person who commented (brownsuga diva) sam will harp on about the others and say how great Britney is and slag of Rhi, im no major Rhi fan but sam is now getting boing! As for the Beyonce Rhi comparisons there are none! why the both names have to be together like conjoined twins i have no idea. You bloggers and comment makers are getting boring
Sam doesn’t have anything personal against Rihanna he just speaking how he feels just like all ya’ll do everytime something about Beyonce or anybody else for that matters comes up. So Sam keep posting your opinions on Rihanna cause they are the truth. She lacks in talent, all she can do is dress and the girl has a damn stylist so it’s her stylist that has the style and not her!
For people who said she can’t sell.
GGGB might’ve only sold 1.5 million in the U.S.
But its on way of selling over 6 million records Worldwide – and that is 1 million units more than that s***** B’Day record.
Plus, GGGB is STILL selling in the U.S. at about 20,000 – 30,000 copies a week. She might even surpass B’Day’s 2 million sells by the end of its run.
Don’t hate on the favorite. Rihanna.
^^^^^
Worldwide sales.
GGGB – 6.3 million units
B’Day – 6 million. Don’t forget B’Day was released 9 months in advance in like 50 different versions AND sells for 5.99$ in Wal Mart.
Lemme just say something right. It is SO amazing that you, thee owner, whatever, has SUCH distaste for Rihanna, ALWAYS criticizing to her than complimenting but YET 1. she's in your damn site banner and 2. yet you find the time to never leave her out of your updates. If you don't like the girl sure, suck it up, be a man and get over it not EVERY time you post her say something nasty and sarcastic and cry her down. & all de ass y'all do [ the some of you ]A just say she dresses good or what not, GET OVER IT. Yes, everyone doesn't like her, but ALL the time so? And to a BAJAN, it is VERY unappealing. My God, get a f****** grip. & then I bet you secretly listening to her damn music when you driving or some s***. Too damn two-mouted.
Now who’s coping who!!!! Y Rhi Rhi got on a ballerina suit? She coping bey hard from SL(PAROI) dam dam dam…ppl always talking about how bey copies ppl but NEVA mentions when sumone else copies bites off of someone…neway just had to say that
dont hate on sam…he did state when he changed the site that he might not like rihanna as an artist, but she can take a pic so whateva….rihanna has some good performances and a lot of bad ones so what it’s true and she still got more money than us!!!!!
Come on… Rihanna is talentless??? Ha-ha… No way! She just puts out a hit after a hit… 🙂
And Sam, by the way, where are the pics from Mariah’s “I Stay In Love” video shoot? I’m just curious… Why didn’t you put them in your blog? 🙂
-Bobby from Bulgaria-
there is no duet dumbass ! he just appears on the video cuz he wrote the song, and OH GOD that’s too much of GGGB album, please stop it it’s not even interesting, the only thing I’m waitin’ 4 is Beyoncé album so the Barbados non-singer girl can take a big break and I won’t mind
Now i’m not a general fan of Rihanna but i not gonna knock her for being a success because i actually think shes improving and growin as a performer and singer..(Thats really not a bad thing)
Rehab is the only song of hers i got on my itunes so i know this is gonna be a BIG song for her (yet again)
The direction she was put in was a great move 4her and she doing great and looks real hot..
Her singing is not the worst we’ve all heard, her performances are some of the worst but she gettin better(like i said earlier) and her songs have proven to be FAR from the worst so for that i give her Props…
PLUS what girl from the Carribbean shuts-it down worldwide like she has..
AS much as i may sound like a RiRi fan i’m NOT musically but i show RESPECT for her achievements
OMG is most people on the blog transparent and OLD???
Why are there still comparisons between Ri and Bee
Does every single female have to be compared to Bee?
LISTEN they both successful and the Jay-Z connections thats where the similarities stop..
OBVIOUSLY!!!!!! Beyonce is the better singer and performer(doesn’t take much to know that), however there’s no denying Rihanna has found her niche and gettin great success as a few bloggers have stated..
Their style, music, direction and abilities(writing, production) are TOTALLY different (Worth comparing???)
If you gonna watch a show live on tour or whatever almost every1 gonna wanna see Bee as she a monster on stage and really performs and sings well live..(Comparison??)
Like another blogger said i will defo give respect to Rihanna for her worldwide success and growth overall and i hope she continues 2b that way its just personally not my taste/flavour
This is not a message to big up Beyonce and put down Rihanna i jus stating there is NO POINT comparing these two successful black women for OBVIOUS reasons.
whoever said rihanna cranks out hit after hit…she doesn’t write or produce her music…soooo…she’s not the one behind it all…
wow some good points from bloggers in here(well a few lol)
Love this song Rehab and glad Rihanna/Label is releasing this..
I’m from uk and used to work in Wembley area and 02 area i’ve seen Madonna, Britney, Beyonce, Rihanna, X-tina, Pink and Janet Jackson(seen loads others but these are used for the point i’m about to make)
I’ma say this Vocally out of all these heavy weight chart artist Rihanna is NOT the worse TRUST ME(4th Best).. Performance wise unfortunately she bottom of the pile BUT she better than when i first saw her so gettin bit closer…
Britney and Madonna get huge props for just being them with those HORRID live vocals and Rihanna just gets a baggering, i don’t understand?? Is Rihanna not allowed to be mixing it with these white chicks, when they sound worse?
Performing wise Ri is still young and perfecting her sound and craft so i think she shouldn’t get such abuse from people not that much in2 her..
I’m not tryin 2make this a black/white thing but in this day and time i’m soo glad that ladies like Rihanna can support Beyonce and Alicia Keys in the mix of competing with these other ladies…
REALITY CHECK: Who else is up there worldwide status with these three??.
Leona Lewis (Vocally yes, yes, yes! Performance not that kind of Artist)
Mariah (Has a hit here and there)
MJB:(Borderline as no massive hit since “no more drama” although Just Fine did well in London)
Ciara:(Nope)
J. Hudson(Hopefully)
Monica (Mainly Japan and US)
Brandy (Comeback could be on)
Kelly Rowland (Does well in Europe but not in US)
Am i missin any1 (JJ is Legend but no hits for YEARS)
[Sorry bout the long msg but ya’ll get my point right!!]
they are tryin to model her career after beyonce’s solo career and use “overkill” tactics that beyonce uses. makes sense since Jay is in charge of her career. she really is lackin in the talent dept and as much as sam hates on her, he continues to post about her. lmao
”Solange is talented? ”
LOLLOL She can WRITE music!! That’s more than rihanna will ever have in her arsenal
”Come on… Rihanna is talentless??? Ha-ha… No way! She just puts out a hit after a hit… :)”
You think she did anything to contribute to that? She got lyrics shoved in her face and got told to sing them.
”Mariah (Has a hit here and there)”
When i read this i totally forgot everything else you said. She is number 2 with most number one hits and you’re saying she has a hit here and there. Jezus Christ.
You can’t touch MJB, Leona Lewis ( she just started but she is f****** gold), Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, Brandy AND ciara. They’re all proven themselves 10 times more than worthy so, no.
Well, Soulfian, I guess then she has the talent to get this to the masses… :))
I’m just saying that cuz the radios and music TV channels here have her recent singles on rotation…
And Mariah’s too… :))
And, Capricorn, how come you say Mariah ‘has a hit here and there’…? “Touch My Body” was a hit. “I’ll Be Lovin’ U Long Time” did well and is in good rotation here. It went to #1 in a major music TV top20 here. “I Stay In Love” will be a hit too I guess… And what about “It’s Like That”, “We Belong Together”, “Shake It Off” from her previous album… You just can’t compare that to Leona Lewis… :))
-Bobby from Bulgaria-
much love from me 2 rihanna !
awesome singer
Rehab is arguably the best song on the GGGB album, but it will get over-played on the radio, and the video will also be over-played until everyone will be SICK of the song. Shame, because Rehab is a great song, and should remain an album song IMO…
GTFO here comparing Rihanna to Madonna Britney Janet or even Ciara. All of them waver between terrible and average at singing, but any of them can outperform Rihanna anyday. Rihanna is like the popular Cassie. She doesn’t dance or sing well, but she sure looks good in her clothes. Y’all pay for that, too.
Rehab is stale, it’s been out a year now. But Rihanna has the Midas touch with her singles usually, so who knows.
Beyonce outsings and outperforms Rihanna all day everyday, but Rihanna outsold her, even by just a little, internationally. Stop getting in arms about it, stans. The music industry is in charge of a lot more than you think. If they see a cash cow, they will milk it dry however they can. If anything, Rihanna’s popularity speaks to the overall idiocy/gullibility of the world population, and I stand by that statement. People are f****** lemmings, following each other off a cliff.
Rihanna’s really pretty sometimes, but cannot, I repeat, CANNOT sing for S***. Beyonce can sing well (when she controls her voice), but she can be just as annoyingly overexposed as Rihanna can.
Facts are facts. Stans, haters, stop being so a*** and overprotective about people who don’t even know you’re alive. Rihanna sucks ass, no matter how many albums she sells. Justin Timberlake’s a douchebag, no matter how many albums he sells. Beyonce is a puppet in her own career, no matter how many albums she sells. And, Sam can have opinions. WTF.
why does everyone get so uptight about sams opinion on rihanna lol hes a nobody….. its like a tramp coming up to you and telling you that you smell or your badly dressed it just really doesnt matter…………
if sam choses to constantly insult rihanna then let him do that karma will hopefully kill him and the rest of his ugly n***** gorilla looking family and on that good note im out !
RIHANNA IS THE BEST !!!!
^^^^^^^ amen
B-day is 6mil also with only one #1.
Rihanna just hit 6mil also with five #1, so you do the math and Umbrella was top the charts in the UK for 10 or 11 wks and 7 wks in the US and she only sold a pityful 6mil worldwide after a almost 2years, that’s not good at all. B-day did 3-mil at home alone.
That’s terribe in the music business and you know it…That comes from having no talent and just being cute/half naked all the time.
Watch what old girl is going to do in her first month sales.
It’s time for talent to come out not this cute looking stuff that’s been everywhere with no substance..
THIS CHICK SUCKS YO! HER PERFORMANCES SUCK, SHE ONLY HOT IN STYLE. I WONDER HOW SHE FEELS THAT SHE ONLY KNOWN FOR HER STYLE AND SHE’S A MUSIC ARTIST…LOL…LAME! AND FOR THE RECORD BEYONCE’S B’DAY SOLD MORE THAN 3 MILLION IN THE US AND 7 MILLION WORLDWIDE! WHEN COMPARING RIHANNA TO BEYONCE THERE’S NO CONTEST: BEYONCE WINS!
And your lovely Rihanna is a “singles” artist.
When Rihanna gonna SELL 2 million in US?
When Rihanna gonna have a #1 album!?
Beyonce is the 2nd highest paid music star, where is Rihanna?
Beyonce is the 4th highest paid celebrity, where is Rihanna?
Beyonce has 10 grammy’s how many does Rihanna have?
Beyonce has over 170 awards, how many does Rihanna have?
I rest my case!
IT’S FUNNY HOW RIHANNA STANS WANNA WHINE ABOUT GGGB SELLING MORE THAN B’DAY. BUT GUESS WHAT! BEYONCE HAS ONLY HAD 2 SOLO ALBUMS TO RIHANNA’S 3 AND HAS SOLD WAY MORE THAN RIHANNA!
BEYONCE HAS SOLD 30 MILLION RECORDS WORLDWIDE WITH 2 ALBUMS!
RIHANNA HAS SOLD 11 MILLION RECORDS WORLDWIDE WITH 3 ALBUMS!
HOW PATHETIC IS THAT!!!!! LOL
””hat karma will hopefully kill him and the rest of his ugly n***** gorilla looking family and on that good note im out !””
-Wow you are just nasty to the bone, if you wish that upon someone for having an opinion about a celebrity…than karma will hit you harder than a train can you f’ing low-life
^^^^ shut up n***** or I will hex you !
i have powers you couldnt even imagine !
OKAY LETS SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT! RIHANNA HAS NO TALENT! SHE CANT SING, DANCE, OR WRITE HER OWN MUSIC! THAT IS CALLED HAVING NO TALENT PEOPLE! when jay-z signed her he seen a pretty face and thats all we get is a pretty face cause there is no talent! THANK YOU!
I Like Beyonce and I also like Rihanna, they are no where a like at all, so I don’t get all this comparing, no one seems to compare the men in the music industry just the women, WHY???
does it mutter who sells more, they’re both successful and LIVIN THEIR LIFE, so maybe some of you internet bloggers should focus on your lives and stop getting stress out and heated up in a debate over artists you don’t personally know, I am sure these artist respect each other in what they do and don’t get stress out with who sells more because they love what they do and doing their job is their main focus in life.
I just don’t get how everyone goes on about one female artist being better then the other, not everyone will like everyone, there’s fans and non fans but as the saying goes if you’ve got nothing nice to say don’t say anything at all.
I find it funny how ppl are quick to compare rihanna to beyonce all the time. Beyonce was the LEAD of the top selling female group so of course she gonna sell more records than rihanna. But the funny thing is there are 2 other ppl in that group and NOBODY compares them to rihanna cause they no rihanna sells more albums and kelly and michelle
” ^^^^ shut up n***** or I will hex you !
i have powers you couldnt even imagine !”
im not even black lol, only because i find what you said disgusting .. you automatically think im black.
Good going and thanks for proving how retarded and close-minded you are… have a f***** up life sweety
‘have a f***** up life sweety’ LOL.
rihanna is releasing ANOTHER single from GGGB?? watt the hell..someone tell her to STOP. this is the 6th single rite??
too bad beyonce is gna crush her…nd rihanna is gna loose a lotta fans over this over-exposure
but gd to c JT bak!
Why’d you deleted my comment Sammie? F**!
Rihanna IS talented. I’m sick of other ‘talentless’ people calling people who do have talent ‘talentless.’ You don’t have the f****** right. OH! She’s not talented because she doesn’t write her own music. Stop right there! She wrote on both her first and second album and will be writing on her fourth. Check you facts before you run your mouth and look stupid. Either way, even if she DIDN’T write her own material, who gives a s***?! She’s a pop artist, not a rapper, stupid idiots.
@ Larry, once again, check your facts. Beyonce has sold only 6 million worldwide, while Rihanna has sold more. Facts peopl!
Rihanna sucks live, this is true. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t talentless. *looks to Mariah/Janet*
It doesn’t matter though, a stan is a stan and you cna’t get through to them…*shakes my head, waits for the day when people realize that Beyonce is not the b**** you think she is*
Sam, your a f****** hypocrite, and you know it. You need hits on your lame little blog site. Look at this, the Rihanna posts are the only ones that get comments.
HYPOCRITE! Solange talented? Ha! Ciara can sing? Ha! Now those are two you could call TALENTLESS. Solange is NOT an artist, or an actor, she needs to stop riding off Beyonce’s failing career. Ciara? *shakes head* Her only “talent” is dancing. I know plently of girls that can dance better than Ciara, splits and all.
One more thing? OVERKILL SAM?! Beyonce put B’day out fifteen times before people even started checkin’ for it.
*shakes my head*
Delete this comment too Sam, you f*****. I’ll just post it again!
Larry,
Rihanna just came out 3 years ago. How many years was Beyonce in the game before she made the Forbes list? Ten
Rihanna has won numerous awards from organization all over the world.
When is Rihanna going to sell 2 million in the US? She’s at a little 1.9 now so she should hit the 2 million mark by December.
To the people saying Rihanna can’t dance, check out her earlier performances from her first album. Rihanna is probably one of the best dancers out there so yall can kill that now.
Rihann has written her own music before. She did’nt write on GGGB.
^^^^^^ all i got to say is
bey- 30 mill worldwide…2 solo ablums not including dc3 with that its about lets say 150mill
Rih- 11 mill worldwide…3 solo ablums and she had the biggest hit of 07 wtf!!!!
and gggb only out sold bey day by what 300k big geal… which one of them broke and which one is BALLIN
i rest my case
When i talk bout Mariah havin a hit here and there i talkin bout her singles. Some are great hits and some no soo thats jus fact = “here or there”.
And like Leona she is a singer more than a perfomer anyway.
I didn’t say she wasn’t relevant did I so stick with the program..
Rihanna is successful cus she is rated by her fans. Sales don’t come from thin air does it!!!
Ciara i’ll correct myself on because she has had some hits Internationally (Nothing like Bee, Ri or A. Keys though which was my point) and most definately can perform a storm herself so there’s hope.
I never bought i Rihanna track in my life but good on her 4 selling loads and still being aparently broke..
Sam u need 2 delete the racists comments on here pronto!!!!!!
I don’t know how the thoughts on the video turned into a full debate regarding Mary Jay. Mariah and I even seen Ms. Leona Lewis name dragged up in here.
As for the video, I would have loved to see breaking dishes but I guess they went with this to give justin some shine.
beyonces just a fat ass b**** with thighs the size of king kongs ankles….rihanna is a worldwide artist and beyonce is ok but bday was an epic fail !
she needs to come alot stronger than that deja vu s*** !
and single ladies !
where do I start what a heap of s***
if i were a boy will get to the top 50 if shes lucky ! the whole, women/men equality thing has been done and beyonce needs to find something new to complain about !
lol i never hear you going on about how s*** shitelle williams is sam shes a worldwide flop and you never insult her, she cant even sing LOL and I see how you didint post about how she only sold 14 thousand units in her first week if it was rihanna you would have been all over that like a rash !
whatever problems you have with rihanna ! (who may i say is in your s***** ass website banner) you need to get>>>>>> OVEEEEEEEEEER IT <<< (said in a oprah shouting excited voice like when she calls a guest out)
nuff said !
the only ppl hating on rihanna are the hardcore beyonce fans who have been sucking on her man boobs since she started her solo career
^ LMAO! *dead*
I lovr riri and this song is going to put that sad ALL th SINGLE ladies crap Beyonce brought out in the trash can. RIR is the hottiest chick right no, period!!! I love you RIR!!!!
Rihanna so great at singing love it!!!!!!
NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!! Her vocals need REHAB “dum dum de dum DUMB!!!
^ This coming from the b**** who likes the LAMEST girl group in the history of girl groups.
LOLOLOL @ Her vocals need REHAB “dum dum de dum DUMB!!! 😀
Hmmm… Desert… check! Heels… check! Cater 2 U… check!
B1tch bye!
ummmmmm this is like rihanna 6 or 7 single from one album come on now isnce 07 it came out an at the end of 08 still puttin out sinlges from this album this is too much look at kanye west, neyo, t.i all of them had records out last year an have released new albums or an going to release it this year an she still on this gggb crap the only reson why rih rih out sell bee is cuz she put out more singles form that album plus bee was not even in the spotlight an still is the highest paid singer right now
I dont think we should compare Rihanna to Beyonce. Beyonce is RnB/Pop while Rihanna is 95% pop, 2% RnB, 3% Dance/Techno. I mean, Im a HARD CORE OVER THE TOP Rihanna stan, but I also love beyonce and can’t get enough of both of them. I prefer Rihanna over Beyonce because Rihanna makes more upbeat music and I love upbeat music. Who cares if Rihanna doesn’t write her own music. Shes written a total of 7 songs from her first 2 albums. I mean, that should stand for something. Plus, she can dance. I mean, You can’t really dance to the music from GGGB because its not music that should be choreographed to. Its more partying, jumping up and down, music. Yeah, Rihanna released 8 singles from GGGB, but that one album made her the 5th female in this decade to have 6 #1 singles. I think Rihanna is a bigger artist than many out today because she is internationally known. If you think about it, there are only a few million/billion people in USA (including babies, teens, adults, and old folk). Only teens and adults by albums. If babies and old folk bought Rihanna’s albums as well, Rihanna would have sold billions by now. International stars are bigger than domestic stars.
All you Rihanna stans need to go back to the “Music of the Sun” and “A Girl Like Me” days and compare it to now. Nobody cared about her because she had no fashion sense and both albums were garbage. The only reason why she’s selling albums is because of the image and the singles her label decided to release. Oh, let’s not forget her re-releasing the album a YEAR after it was originally released. If GGGB was that “good”, it wouldn’t have gone double platinum and a year and some months later after being re-released with two singles that happened to go #1. “Shut Up and Drive” got no radio play and “Hate That I Love You” was like #8 on the Billboard charts. Her live performance is terrible, her vocals in the studio are terrible and I cannot wait for people to realize why anybody is paying attention to her. She’s a “SINGLES” artist! If she was that good, she would’ve surpassed 2 million records a longggg time ago. The only reason why there are Rihanna stans is because they’re fail for this wack ass wannabe image she’s portraying. Def Jam is milking her for everything she has and that’s not much. Her looks won’t keep her popular forever. I have another question…if Rihanna is so “big”, why hasn’t she headlined a major U.S. tour yet after being on the scene for three years? Don’t worry, I’ll wait. . .
^^^^^lmao so true…not one tour and she was kanye west tour one of the hottest tours….she should have sold way more than she has…numbers dont lie
I’m not mad at Rihanna or Beyonce. I’m a person about numbers though. Rihanna has STRUGGLED to sell 2 million copies of Good Girl Gone Bad although she’s had 3 #1 singles on the album and just recently had a #1 single with T.I. Beyonce only had ONE #1 hit and has still managed to push 3 million copies of B’Day. Now those are only US numbers. Internationally, Rihanna had edged out Beyonce but Beyonce stopped promoting her album over a year ago and Rihanna has been promoting hers for nearly two years now. Now let’s look at a breakdown of the singles.
Beyonce
1) Crazy in Love (Gold)- #1 for 8 weeks
2) Baby Boy (Platinum)- #1 for 9 weeks
3) Check on It (4x Platinum)- #1 for 5 weeks (longest running #1 for 2006)
4) Irreplaceable (3x Platinum)- #1 for 10 weeks (Top single of 2007)
Total weeks at #1- 32 weeks.
Rihanna
1) SOS (platinum)- #1 for 2 weeks
2) Umbrella (2x platinum)- #1 for 7 weeks
3) Take A Bow (Platinum)- #1 for 2 weeks
4) Disturbia (Gold)- #1 for 2 weeks
5) Live Your Life- #1 for 1 week
Total weeks at #1- 14 weeks
Rihanna is good, but she still has a lot to do to catch up with Beyonce. She can’t handle a tour by herself. Her movements are stiff and her vocals contain NO emotion. She’s well styled (you know she doesn’t pick out ANY of her clothes right?) and keeps the hair fresh. All that is well and good, but she STILL has a lot of growing to do in my opinion. Beyonce is wonderful, but, she has her flaws as well. I like her new singles, but I still think she has some growing to do as well. Both of these ladies are still young and have plenty of time to continue to blow us away. I don’t see a problem with supporting them BOTH. However, I will continue to purchase Beyonce albums and continue to download Rihanna’s singles.
I gree with the a/m comment…except liking Rihanna..I dont like that girl but regardless its true Beyonce has better vocals and has sold much more albums.Also remember Beyonce has been struggling to make it in the Biz since she was 13…while Riahnna was so lucky that they found her while a record producer was vacationing…B had to work hard to get where shes at. Im saying this cus im from S. Houston and my friends went to school with Beyonce and Kelly since elementary and she knows both very well.
