"Right Now" is now certified Silver.

Loud but then it's her best era for me anyway.

We don't speak of the post-Loud red hair epidemic

GGGB and Loud are definitely Rihanna's two most significant eras. But if I were to choose between the two, I'd choose Loud.

Loud 100% but GGGB too - though Umbrella does a lot of the heavy lifting there (generally inescapable, the ‘Rihanna curse’, her brand of umbrellas etc). That said, the album marked a clear shift in her image and sound which continued throughout the rest of her music career so I guess the era as a whole was significant.

Returns to the top 40 at #39 this week in the UK!

What do you think is Rihanna’s most significantly important era in terms of pop culture / pop music. Not necessarily asking your favourite album / era by her but what do you think of first when you think of Rihanna. Single / album mentions are welcome here?! I think there’s arguments for many answers here and intrigued to see how posters form other countries post here as well to see her appeal in different territories at different times. For me personally my mind always goes straight to the LOUD era. The red hair, that t shirt what every teen guy was wearing, social media at the time being flooded with images of her. I think she was completely inescapable and at the absolute peak of her powers in 2011 when Loud was riding high and it led to Talk that Talk! EDIT: I guess you could also argue here that without Good Girl Gone Bad transforming her into A-list territory and then Rated R experimenting her image and sound we'd have never had LOUD without both of those eras?

"Sex With Me" becomes Rihanna's 46th song to become Platinum or higher in the UK. @Jordanlee1402

I can't imagine how many more certs she'd have if she continued spewing out albums.

The song what introduced the world to Rihanna! 1.8m feels huge for it but I do think it’s a track what you hear quite often on nights out and it’s kind of aged pretty well too. I don’t return it that much though but i do enjoy it when I hear it!

"Pon De Replay" is now Rihanna's 21st song to be certified 3x Platinum or higher! With this certification, Rihanna now has 80 million certified units in the country. @Jordanlee1402

Rihanna actually performed last night!!! Makes a change to be posting something musical related here!

I can't believe that it took this long to get to Silver.

Deserves way more but happy for the certification!

After many years of me waiting, "Hard" is FINALLY certified Silver! @Jordanlee1402

eeek! Still didn’t get round to this I’ll still keep it open for more posts for now and at some point will get round to doing results! The Rih forum Is pretty quiet (understandable I guess with her being MIA from music but trying to get some more action!)

"Loveeeeeee Song" becomes Rihanna's 45th Platinum hit in the UK. @Jordanlee1402

Apologies there! My query there was more if it charts between the 101-200 region regularly?! I still imagine it streams well regardless though! I’d have thought from her discography this may be her third best performer on streaming units per week after GGGB and ANTI.

It's not in the top 100. Last time it was top 100 was in February 2023.

Deserved! My second favourite Rihanna album! Do you know if Loud is ever near the UK top 100 on albums and if it charts within the top 200? It contains several big hits and feels like the GP album with her alongside Good Girl Gone Bad but GGGB seems to have been way ahead since Super Bowl! Brilliant sales for this era though!

"Loud" is now certified 8X PLATINUM in the UK for 2.4 million units! @Jordanlee1402

I wonder how close "Music Of The Sun" is close to going Platinum. It's her only album that hasn't got there yet.

#50 this week! Still staying strong inside the top 75 - 325 weeks on the chart overall for this now too!

One of her tracks that stood the test of time quite well! Streaming giant and I think it’s aged pretty good too I wasn’t a fan back in 2016 and I’ll admit this but these days I like it a lot more! Another 3X platinum cert!

Despite only peaking at #38, "Needed Me" is now certified 3x Platinum for 1.8 million units! @Jordanlee1402
