October 26, 20222 yr Beautiful Liar (ft Beyonce & Shakira) (Rihanna's Version) (From The Vault) (10 Minute Version)
October 26, 20222 yr Biggest surprise for me is 'Don't Stop The Music' only being #20 :o I probably hear that played on the radio more than any other Rihanna song, I thought it was one of her best remembered and would be picking up lots of weekly streams but obviously not! #justiceforbeautifulliar
October 26, 20222 yr 'BELIEVE IT' really has no business being anywhere on here (even if low down), here's hoping her next comeback isn't as much of a letdown as that was. On the other hand, justice for 'Lemon' w/ N.E.R.D, that may be my favourite song she's ever been involved with. What a classic packed top 40 here though (even if a few of them are not to my taste).
October 26, 20222 yr I assume Don't Stop The Music (and Disturbia) probably suffers from the low sales climate at the time of release compared to some of her hits a few years later in the download era. So while it is generating strong streams, it's started on the back foot from from a lower point compared to say Diamonds and to her Anti era sleeper streaming hits.

Yessss Lemon is great. I'm also surprised Believe It is in her top 40 here, I assumed it only made a top 20 impact because it was the first thing to have Rihanna's name on it for three years. Then again, it looks like it had a longer top 40 run than I remembered so maybe it makes some sense.
October 26, 20222 yr The only 2 non collab Rihanna songs I would choose to listen to are 'Russian Roulette' (very dark and haunting) and 'Diamonds' (quite beautiful but that's a Sia song). Rest if ok but just not wild about.

That felt massive at the time and for a good while after.

Rest if ok but just not wild about. On the other hand, 'Russian Roulette' is my least favourite song by her oops. Just find it a bit of a dirge and slightly depressing. Can't say 'Diamonds' is exactly a massive highlight for me either!
October 27, 20222 yr She has such a mixed bag discography for me. Some real shockers there, but when she's good she's really good.
October 27, 20222 yr exclusive advance full chart of my A-Z Greatest Hits for Rihanna. She's certainly had a quality variation over the years, but a good 20 classics (that need to be on a Greatest Hits along with some lesser bigger hits) :lol: 1 1 69 PRINCESS OF CHINA Coldplay/ Rihanna 3539800 2011 2 1 22 STAY Rihanna/Mikky Ekko 1233450 2013 3 3 24 WE FOUND LOVE Rihanna/ Calvin Harris 752900 2011 4 1 21 UMBRELLA Rihanna/ Jay-Z 721350 2007 5 3 20 DON'T STOP THE MUSIC Rihanna 719250 2008 6 4 27 TAKE CARE Drake/ Rihanna 596400 2012 7 5 21 WHO'S THAT CHICK David Guetta/ Rihanna 566200 2011 8 4 16 RUDE BOY Rihanna 549550 2010 9 6 24 S&M (COME ON) Rihanna 475250 2011 10 4 15 LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE Eminem featuring Rihanna 456100 2010 11 10 18 SHUT UP AND DRIVE Rihanna 385850 2007 12 6 19 ONLY GIRL (IN THE WORLD) Rihanna 330100 2010 13 5 12 CHEERS (DRINK TO THAT) Rihanna 252750 2011 14 18 13 DISTURBIA Rihanna 211950 2008 15 7 9 YOU DA ONE Rihanna 210500 2012 16 5 6 TOWARDS THE SUN Rihanna 201550 2015 17 20 12 S.O.S.

October 27, 20222 yr I might agree on that top 5, Stay and Princess of China are really her best 2 songs
October 27, 20222 yr Anyway, looks like the new single is a power BALLAD really was expecting/wishing Rihanna to come back with something upbeat but alas...
October 27, 20222 yr Beautiful Liar (ft Beyonce & Shakira) (Rihanna's Version) (From The Vault) (10 Minute Version) I deserved this x
October 27, 20222 yr I might agree on that top 5, Stay and Princess of China are really her best 2 songs Two of her worst singles for me, would happily never hear those two again lol. Actually I'm probably being a bit harsh on 'Stay', it's not that bad but I've always disliked 'Princess Of China', there's just something about it. Edited October 27, 20222 yr by Mangø
October 27, 20222 yr Why is 'Rain On Me' not on this list actually? I thought that was a pretty big hit?
October 27, 20222 yr Anyway, looks like the new single is a power BALLAD really was expecting/wishing Rihanna to come back with something upbeat but alas... I was kinda hoping for an upbeat banger as well but we've only heard a 5 second snippet so far so i'm keeping an open mind about the new track.
