Rihanna's "Umbrella" featuring Jay Z nets #1 Trifecta

Rihannacover_jayz-beyonce-brittneyspears-sexygirls.jpgRIAA platinum, award-winning SRP/Def Jam recording artist - and CoverGirl spokesperson - Rihanna takes over the top of the charts this week as her current single "Umbrella" (featuring Jay-Z), with over 80 million audience, scores a perfect trifecta at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Pop 100, and Hot Digital Songs charts. Last week, the song made chart history in the U.K. as Rihanna's first #1 there. The video for "Umbrella," directed by Chris Applebaum, stays at #1 on iTunes and the AOL Music Top 40 Videos chart, and is in heavy rotation on MTV, BET and VH-1. In her U.S television debut, Rihanna will perform the song live with Jay-Z at the MTV Movie Awards this Sunday, June 3rd.

"Umbrella" is the introduction to Rihanna's new album, GOOD GIRL GONE BAD, which arrives in stores next Tuesday, June 5th, a day that will be capped off with an appearance on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. TV continues with NBC's The Today Show (June 8th), ABC's The View and MTV's TRL (both June 11th), BET's 106 & Park, climaxing with the global broadcast of the historic all-star Live Earth concert on Saturday, July 7th.

Rihanna's third album release in less than two years, GOOD GIRL GONE BAD is the follow-up to 2006's RIAA platinum A Girl Like Me, with the back-to-back #1 hits, "S.O.S." and "Unfaithful"; and her RIAA gold debut from 2005, Music Of the Sun, featuring the worldwide smash, "Pon De Replay." GOOD GIRL GONE BAD boasts the production skills of Timabland, C. "Tricky" Stewart, Stargate, and the team of Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken (responsible for "S.O.S." and "Pon De Replay"), as well as songwriting contributions from Justin Timberlake and Ne-Yo, among others.

In June, 19-year old Barbados native Rihanna will be seen in her first ads as the newest CoverGirl, joining the ranks of Queen Latifah, Molly Sims, Christie Brinkley and Keri Russell. The long list of famous CoverGirl models (starting in 1961) also includes Cheryl Tiegs, Rachel Hunter, Tyra Banks, and Niki Taylor.

Personally signed by Def Jam president and CEO Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, Rihanna is a unique role model for West Indians back home and around the world. She created The Rihanna Foundation, a public charity organization dedicated to assisting terminally ill children world­wide. Its mission is to assist and inspire children who suffer from life-threatening diseases including cancer, leukemia and AIDS. The Foundation raises funds and awareness for medical research, as well as for individual and institutional medical needs. The vision of the Foundation is to achieve what Rihanna has always strived for in her remarkable music career - "to inspire with hope, courage and love."

It dont surpirse me the devil always give success to people who do bad things. She work on people man to get where she going but it wont last. She disgrace the caribbean as the world know her as a man theif.
Y cant we see her out dating somebody? How come is just JZ alone we can spot her out with? It's not right? She is also a teenager and for money She gone tek big man, people man at that. I cant big up that. The voice, the looks, the shape, the face is not outstanding. A few yeras and she will be forgotten.

Rhianna, nuff respect I think you are a beautiful and talented artists. I wish you much success.

Let the haters be your inspiration to keep doing your thing Rhi Rhi.

Well I don't know Rihanna personally but mi did read wan article about wan gyal inna Barbados that sey she did witness Rihanna get inna big street fight with some gyal cah she did sleep with di other gyal man. She sey Rihanna has a fierce reputation inna Barbados for being a skeezer/skettel. And it could be. Maybe she is but that nah effect har talent. it nuh have nuttin to do with har music. If she and Beyonce and Jayz have an issue leave it to them to fix. Yu have nuthin to do with either of them. Them nuh know you. I love Rihanna to the core. Shes very talented, if that is true den i dont like har ways but mi get into that shes most def. an artist in my cd collection.


Posted by: RE:sharlene matthews on June 3, 2007 03:50 PM

If you don't have something good to say, say nothing at all. She's not the first to hold on the the big truck. Hold on to the big truck, don't let them push you down or give you heart attack. If the bloody big truck can take her for a long money making ride. Ride on girl keep on.
