Released in November 2009, Rihanna’s fourth studio album Rated R debuted
atop the Billboard R&B Albums chart at #1and was the biggest first-week
Soundscan tally of Rihanna’s career. The eagerly anticipated album
arrived to a chorus of acclaim from critics and fans alike. Rolling
Stone raved “one of the best pop records of the year.” The Chicago Sun
Times called it “by far the best, most layered and most heartfelt effort
of the 21-year-old artist’s career.” In its year-end recap,
Entertainment Weekly named Rated R the Pop Album of the Year.
Rated R is the long-awaited follow-up to the RIAA double-platinum Good
Girl Gone Bad (May 2007), which contained the non-stop string of hit
singles that began with the MTV VMA and Grammy Award-winning global #1
hit “Umbrella” (featuring Jay-Z), then “Shut Up and Drive,” “Hate That I
Love You” (featur-ing Ne-Yo), and “Don’t Stop the Music.” Good Girl
Gone Bad spent 98 total weeks on the Soundscan chart, earned cumulative
global sales of more than 36-times platinum in at least 18 territories
around the world. The CD+DVD package Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded
(January 2009) continued the string of hits with the #1 “Take A Bow,”
the #1 “Disturbia” and Top 20 “Rehab.”
Good Girl Gone Bad was the third album release in less than two years by
Barbados native Rihanna, who turned 22 on February 20th. It followed-up
2006′s RIAA platinum A Girl Like Me, which contained the back-to-back
hits, “S.O.S.” and “Unfaithful”; and her RIAA gold debut from 2005,
Music Of the Sun, featuring the world-wide smash, “Pon De Replay.”
