Of Rihanna's eight album openers, what are your favourites? Vote in the poll and discuss! ;o

Love all of these :o 'Mad House' is a particular one that's underrated, it's so short but still manages to sum up and display the whole theme and eeriness of the 'Rated R' album and introducing us to a completely different Rih if that makes sense :lol: 'You Da One' is another one I think is very underrated, the fact it was released as a single puzzles me to this day lmao but it's a strong R&B track and the beat is lush *.*

 

1. Consideration (feat. SZA) (already one of her classics for me ngl)

2. Umbrella (feat. Jay Z)

3. S&M

4. Mad House

5. SOS

6. You Da One

7. Pon De Replay

8. Phresh Out The Runway (still like a 8/10 though :lol:)

These polls

 

I think I would rank them:

 

1. "Umbrella"

2. "Consideration"

3. "Phresh Out The Runway"

4. "SOS"

5. "S&M"

6. "Mad House"

7. "Pon De Replay"

8. "You Da One"

 

If "Consideration" were longer, that would probably be #1. "Umbrella" is obvs a classic and perfectly introduced us to the sound of Good Girl Gone Bad. I hated "Phresh" when I first heard Unapologetic but I absolutely adore it now. "You Da One" is amongst her worst songs ever.

Some of these rankings

1. S&M

2. You Da One

3. SOS

4. Pon De Replay

5. Umbrella

6. Consideration

7. Phresh Out the Runway

8. Mad House

 

I think S&M might still be in my top three singles of hers ever so I had to go for that one. I think Consideration probably works best as an album opener of all of these though and it is pretty amazing even if I've only placed it 6th here :lol: I've never liked Mad House at all though...

It’s got to be ‘Consideration’. That opening line 👌🏼

Such a perfect album opener.

 

Absolutely love ‘Mad House’ as well because it sets the tone up for the album so, so well. I prefer some of the songs I’ve put below it but I think as an opener it’s pretty perfect. And I’ve always had a soft spot for ‘You Da One’, it’s so underrated!
