[::Official Rihanna Thread - ANTI Album Out Now::]

The New York Times: Talk That Talk, her sixth album, is maybe the first to suggest the place that’s been hiding in plain sight all along, placing Rihanna squarely at the center of the pop genre best suited for a singer of her fundamental evanescence: dance music, which conveniently is the mode du jour of contemporary R&B and pop.

USA Today: But probably the most potent ingredient in the mix is the Barbadian singer’s charisma. With her knowing naughtiness, she keeps the constant innuendos from becoming tiresome. They seem to come with a wink and a smile. 3/4

Rolling Stone: Rihanna’s sixth album is her tightest, most assured yet—a relentlessly catchy and danceable pop album, with first-rate contributions from top songwriter-producers. It’s also Rihanna’s smuttiest record by far. 3.5/5

Entertainment Weekly: It’s a relief to find that on her blissed-out sixth album, Talk That Talk, she’s stopped tryingto play it so tough. … She’s still got two token I-like-it-rough tracks—

Rihanna got 4 straight solid albums with Good Girl Gone Bad, Rated R, Loud, and Talk That Talk

Does rihanna write anything or have any say in her music? She seems so manufactured. Like whatever is hot she'll do. Not to mention she gets to work with the top everyone in the industry.

I wish she would do more reggae stuff though...those were her best songs IMO.


Like Man Down is a BANGER.

Word. "Rude Boy" was and still is my favorite song of hers.

Rihanna is the best. I RARELY listen to pop music, but there's something about her that just makes her stand out. It helps that she's SO bad.

Just copped Talk That Talk, will be back for a review.

Full version of "Birthday Cake" confirmed by the Dream.

 

[krazyrodzilla]

Def wasn't feeling "Talk that Talk" like I did, "Good girl gone bad", "Rated R" and "Loud" this is for sure her weakest album of the 4.

[h1]Rihanna Named Best-Selling Digital Artist Ever[/h1][h2]Black Eyed Peas, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift also rank high on Nielsen SoundScan list.[/h2]
By John Mitchell Rihanna's run at the record books continues unabated, as the "We Found Love" singer has been named by Nielsen SoundScan as the top-selling digital artist ever.

The Talk That Talk diva has moved an incredible 47.5 million digital downloads since bursting onto the scene in 2005, giving her a comfortable lead over second-place Black Eyed Peas, who have career digital sales of 42.4 million. Eminem trails BEP by just 100,000 for third place with over 42.29 million in sales. Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift came in at fourth and fifth, respectively, with career digital sales of 42.08 million and 41.82 million.

Katy Perry, Lil Wayne, Beyoncé, Kanye West and Britney Spears round out the top 10.

Rihanna can add the title to her ever-increasing list of chart accolades. Late last year, she leapt past Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder on the list of artists with the most #1 singles when "We Found Love" topped the charts, becoming her 11th #1 and tying her with Whitney Houston. Only the Supremes, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and the Beatles have more chart-toppers. The single also helped the pop star make Billboardhistory as the solo artist to reach 20 top tens the fastest. It took her six years and four months to reach that total, five less than it took Madonna.

While Rihanna leads in overall combined sales, none of her songs placed individually on the all-time list of top-selling digital songs, which is led by BEP's "I Got a Feeling." "Feeling" has sold 7.68 million downloads, besting the second-place track — Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" — by more than a million downloads. "Face" and another Gaga hit, "Just Dance," both boast digital sales of approximately 6.5 million, more than another BEP jam, "Boom Boom Pow," which took fourth place with 6.2 million in sales.

Further down the list at #7 is MTV's Song of 2011, "Rolling in the Deep."Adele's chart-topping, Grammy-nominated smash has moved more than 5.9 million downloads since its late-2010 release. Flo Rida's "Low," Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" and Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" also appear on the list of best-selling digital tracks.
