OK. Here we go boys & gays. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6lV5hzNR1fU/SY2zwZAqCnI/AAAAAAAAC9w/6UYlbTZE8ME/s400/let%20me%20rihanna.jpeg 10 / Let Me 9.15 That's right, 'Let Me' has been voted her 10th best song ever! I was so shocked at how high this got when I was doing the results. It shouldn't even be Top 20 let alone Top 10! I'm guessing jonjo's post will be why this is here. Still can't comprehend how this has beaten Disturbia...

Before we enter the dizzy heights of the Top 10, here's what the album averages worked out. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d8/Rihanna-MusicOfTheSun.jpg/200px-Rihanna-MusicOfTheSun.jpg 04 / Music Of The Sun 7.00 In the obvious position, MOTS is voted her worst album on BuzzJack. Hardly a surprise. It's pretty crap. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7c/Rihanna_-_A_Girl_Like_Me.jpg/200px-Rihanna_-_A_Girl_Like_Me.jpg 03 / A Girl Like Me 7.51 Next up we have AGLM, personally I think this is worse than MOTS, but the two strong singles obviously helped it average higher than MOTS. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/ea/Rihanna_Rated_R.jpg/200px-Rihanna_Rated_R.jpg 02 / Rated R 8.20 Second we have RR, such a departure from GGGB that it was never going to be perfect. Still its a pretty awesome album, jammed pack with more hits (albeit less than the former). Short-lived campaign. Bring on album #5! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/83/Gggbrihanna.jpg/200px-Gggbrihanna.jpg 01 / Good Girl Gone Bad 8.33 Voted her best album amongst BuzzJack we have her most commercially successful album. This album campaign was a monster, 247 singles, 100 #1s etc. Well not quite but that's what it felt like at the time! I'm not sure she'll top the success of this. Took her from 'singer' to 'superstar'.

12 / Russian Roulette 9.12 (less 11s) Controversial in terms of lead singles, this ballad had everyone thinking WTF when it premiered, no one expected it. We ALL expected a banger. That said, it underperformed slightly for a Rihanna comeback single (mainly in the US where it peaked at #9) but I still stand by it as a good choice of lead single as it killed any 'Umbrella' comparisons an up-tempo would have caused. Favourite lyric: 'Just take the gun, and count to 3' 11 / Disturbia 9.12 (more 11s) This would have been a LOT higher had it not been for Nick F1's 00. I think this is one of her best songs, and definitely has stood the test of time still sounding fresh to day. Dissapointed it's not Top 10 in the rate tbh :( Favourite lyric: It's a thief in the night to try and grab you

Alexandra Burke - Start Without You
Doesn't deserve Top 40 imo as it's one of the worst songs I've heard this year. I'm guessing around #8 though.

Missing You // August 9th
If you scroll down to the bottom of the main iTunes page, you should see the Union Jack flat in bottom right. Click that and you can change countries :)

14 / Take A Bow 8.88 Arguably her most generic single, really bland for me, but some people do love it. Still think 'Disturbia' should have been #1 and not this. It's NICE and PRETTY but where's the oomf?! Favourite lyric: 'Please' 13 / Breakin' Dishes 9.04 The first song to break 9.00 point average. One of her most popular album tracks (3rd most popular according to this list). I love it, and technically it should have been a single, but we can't really complain as we were spoilt for singles. Favourite lyric: 'I'm kicking asses, I'm taking names'

17 / Push Up On Me 8.54 Now we have Jark's personal favourite Rihanna song. I'm sure he'll cream knowing lots of people agree that it IS good. Should be higher imo, and it's also highly underrated! Favourite lyric: 'You wanna come and get me OUTTA THIS DRESS' 16 / Rehab 8.69 (less 9s) The final single from GGGB, I preferred it as an album-track seeing as another single just wasn't needed. Still it continued the list of Top 20s from the album, and still managed to be a hit single despite high record sales! BRAVO. Favourite lyric: I don't wanna smoke all these cigarettes any more' 15 / Wait Your Turn 8.69 (more 9s) Fierce as fuck song, totally wasted as a promo single. Although saying that I can't see it being a massive world wide hit, but it certainly could have done somewhat decently. The lyrics showed a brand new side to Rihanna, SHE SWORE. omgah. <3 Favourite lyric: 'Hottest bitch in heels right hurrrr' and 'Such a f***in' lady

HMPF. MAYBE these next three will wet your appetite some more :) 20 / Good Girl Gone Bad 8.15 SMASHING it's way into the Top 20 we have the title track from the ever-amazing GGGB album. It's a good album closer (ignoring the bonuses and reloaded) and its perfectly NICE. Do I think it's deserving of a Top 20 placing... perhaps NOT. Favourite lyric: 'Trying to get enough drinks in her system, take her to the Tele and make her a victim' 19 / Cold Case Love 8.19 Her longest song ever[/craptrivia] but that doesn't stop this being a fan-favourite. From the Chris Brown bashing lyrics to the heavy Phil Collin's inspired drums, this was always going to be a popular song. FUCK YOU CB. Favourite lyric: 'And I let you reach me one more time, but that's enough' 18 / Kisses Don't Lie 8.29 Obviously a case of best-of-a-bad-bunch on the 'A Girl Like Me' album. Back when that first came out this was the obvious stand-out excluding the singles. Hasn't really held up well though if I'm being honest, which I AM. Favourite lyric: 'You whisper in my ear but are your words sincere, 'Cause pretty words can cut just like a knife'

23 / If It's Lovin' That You Want 8.04 My favourite from the pre-GGGB era. The only song I can listen to and still enjoy (and SOS to a certain extent). Seems to be completely forgotten now, and I'd even say its her most forgotten single. Still it got her out of the one-hit-wonder category so HURRAH. 22 / Te Amo 8.08 Odd one this one, leaked about 1.5 years ago, and still managed to end up on the album. It's one of my favourites from 'Rated R' and I'm surprised it didn't do go Top 10 here. Still, a great little song, but nothing that will change the WORLD. 21 / Break It Off 8.12 One of her biggest hits in the USA surprisingly. Reached Top 10 on the Hot 100 without a video (one of the only songs to do so I believe... or I'm lying... probably lying). Sounds a bit crap now when put amongst her other material but at the time it was OMGORASMIC.

27 / Sell Me Candy 7.62 Since the release of GGGB this was always my favourite album-track on it. I still play it quite frequently to this day, I love the summer vibe and the face it's so short it makes you just want MORE. LOVE. RIRI DID GOOD. 26 / Final Goodbye 7.65 I don't know much about this song, but thankfully it's one of the last pre-GGGB ballads to enter so I won't have to riddle my brain for sentence filler any more. HURRAH. 25 / The Last Song 7.77 Absolutely stunning song, very underrated. Perfect ending to a great album. I think this is the best ballad on the album and is one I seem to play moreso than the others. I love the whole thing, a truly 10/10 moment. 24 / Hate That I Love You 7.92 I remember this leaked shortly after 'Umbrella' premiered. I think the melody is there, its just a BIT bland! Ne-Yo was known for doing mid-tempo acoustic-esque style songs so it wasn't much of a surprise to me. It's just a bit of a nothingy song. I'm afraid I'm going away for a few days, so this shall commence on Thursday 5th August. Hope you're enjoying so far :o

30 / Music of the Sun 7.35 I advise ANY (Jark) person who hasn't previewed the debut to at least listen to this little jam. It's cute, its summery, its FLUFFY. And it HAS A TUNE!!! OMG. Yes I do like this quite a lot. Doesn't hold up against her recent material but still good. 29 / If I Never See Your Face Again 7.42 The final single from 'GGGB' and also a single from Maroon 5's re-release. Was never destined for greatness and it achieved very moderate success. I'd say it's still pretty well known amongst the general public. Alright song, nothing GOOD, nothing offensive. 28 / A Million Miles Away 7.60 One of the less shit ballads from 'AGLM', quite nice lyrics with again, a rarity on the first two albums, a TUNE.

34 / Stupid In Love 7.08 Another entry from 'Rated R' here, this time in the form of a ballad. This song has horrendous lyrics, except for the name-dropping of Katy Perry. It's tune is nice though, but I just find the chorus to be a bit... :S 'I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid' any thesaurus in the world will tell you, they are the same thing. 33 / We Ride 7.12 Seen as her biggest flop single, despite doing marginally better than 'Rockstar 101'. Peaked at #17 in the UK and quickly fell without a trace. Still, a nice summer tune that deserved slightly better than it got. Ironically the reason it was 'picked' as the 3rd single from AGLM was due to its popularity on iTunes as an album track! 32 / Question Existing 7.23 Marmite defined in audio forum. You either love it or hate it. I love it. You lot, seemed to hate it! 31 / Photographs 7.27 This is an odd one, on most forums this is the most popular track from 'Rated R', excluding the singles. Here it's a completely different case where you've ranked it in the bottom 3 on that album. I think this track is actually OK, but it's very Cheryl Cole reject... which is never a good thing!

39 / Lemme Get That 6.77 Second entry from the 'GGGB' era. Didn't have much of a tune and the way she 'spoke' throughout was obviously going to grind on people. It's probably one of the more forgettable tracks from the album. 38 / That La, La, La (less 10s) 6.90 I LOVE THIS SONG. Well, comparing to the rest of the parent album it was one of the better tracks! Still, quite a good score if you look at the average, I'm guessing its just because her material is so much stronger now which is why this charts so low. 37 / There's a Thug in My Life (more 10s) 6.90 Utterly cringeworthy title, the song itself I find a bit rubbish, 'how i'm I gonna tell my mama?!'... enough said really. 36 / Rockstar 101 6.96 The LOWEST charting single in the rate. Utterly appalling single choice. One of the most baffling single decisions her label have made with her. The song itself isn't THAT bad, but it's just SO lukewarm compared to its predecessor 'Rude Boy'. Which managed multiple weeks at #1 in the US, whereas this one failed to chart even with a prime time American Idol performance. 35 / P.S. (I'm Still Not Over You) 7.00 At 35 we have yet another forgettable ballad from 'A Girl Like Me'. This track seems to have split most people scoring different points all over the board. Some love, some hate and some just don't give a fuck.

I'm rushing through these as no one cares about these songs. 42 / Dem Haters 6.45 I remember when AGLM came out and I first heard this, I thought it was SOOO COOL. I was all 'RIRI SETTING HATAZ RITE!!z1' I now realise it's a pretty $h!te song, and again with the faux reggae $h!t she desperately tried to make popular. 41 / Here I Go Again 6.50 MORE REGGAE. f*** OFF. Nananananaaaaaa, this one is one of the better of the reggae messes. A bit dull and lifeless though. 40 / Rush 6.75 SMASHNG OUR WAY in to the Top 40 is this little [shock]UPTEMPO[/shock] from MOTS. This is the first song on the countdown I can actually say I LIKE THIS SONG. It's catchy and showed a small glimps of things to come. Synthy with a great melody. However I seem to be the only one who thinks this, hence it scraping Top 40.

45 / Crazy Little Thing Called Love 6.40 I always despised this song. Faux raggae sound with a really crap tune. Still, deserving of this position. 44 / A Girl like Me 6.41 Title track from 'A Girl Like Me' album. Naff little ballad. As you can tell I wasn't much of a FAN back then, I still looned for her though. ODD. STILL. She got GOOD so it's ok. 43 / G4L 6.42 Lowest placing of a 'Rated R' track on the rate. Never really got the hate for this, OK the lyrics are a cringey mess but the tune's still nice and after all, we ALL want to put our GUNS IN THE EYER at some point in our lives.

48 / Now I Know 5.82 Another forgettable ballad from pre-GGGB days. Although this is one of the better ones out of the $h!tty ballads. It's quite CUTE, but definitely an album track. A pretty poor one according to YOU LOT. 47 / Say It 6.19 By far the least favourite track from 'Good Girl Gone Bad'. Widely thought of as the only filler track from the multi-platinum album. I still wouldn't place it with the surrounding tracks, down HERE. But I guess compared to the more hard-hitting tracks on GGGB it was bound to slightly disliked. 46 / The Last Time 6.20 Is it just me who doesn't remember half of these songs?! This one in particular seems to have slipped my mind. Made quite an impression on ME clearly!

SO, starting off at ROCK BOTTOM. 51 / Willing to Wait 5.45 OK, so voted the worst Rihanna song is this forgotten track from her first album 'Music Of The SUn'. In all honesty I couldn't tell you anything about this song, in fact according to my iTunes I've played it once, when the album first came out. Truly forgettable. Deserving off this EMBARRASSING position. 50 / You Don't Love Me (No, No, No) 5.75 (less 7s) I've always despised this song. It's my least favourite Rihanna track ever and I find the sample infuriating. Thankfully everyone else seemed to agree with me and voted it the second worst, and also voting it the worst on her pretty $h!te debut 'Music Of The Sun' 49 / Selfish Girl 5.75(more 7s) First track to appear from 'A Girl Like Me', and like the WTW, it's just as crap and nobody remembers it. Forgotten and completely pointless. It squeezes past No No No because it did receive a few more SEVENS.

With 13 rates, the results are quite ODD. Some pre-results TRIVIA: - There is a total of 51 tracks in the countdown. - The highest album track is #7 - The single ranked LOWEST is #36. - Each album has at least TWO tracks in the Top 10. - The Winner is something you probably don't expect. - I'm awesome.
