Rihanna's eight hits catches Come On Over


EIGHT HITS COULD HOLD HER: The debut of "Rehab" (SRP/Def Jam) on the Hot 100 at No. 91 gives Rihanna her eighth hit from her "Good Girl Gone Bad" album. That's the highest number of actively promoted singles any artist has extracted from one album since Shania Twain had eight hits from "Come On Over" from 1997-1999. Rihanna's octet of hits has arrived a little faster, in one year and seven months, the time elapsed between the debut of "Umbrella" in April 2007 and this week's arrival of "Rehab."

Janet Jackson could have had eight hits from "Rhythm Nation 1814," except her label decided not to release a commercial product on the eighth single, "State of the World," and only sent promotional copies to radio, making the 1991 song ineligible for the Hot 100 according to chart rules in effect at that time.

Here is a summary of Rihanna's eight charting tracks from "Good Girl Gone Bad," in chronological order:

"Umbrella," No. 1 for seven weeks (2007) [Rihanna featuring Jay-Z]
"Shut Up and Drive," No. 15 (2007)
"Hate That I Love You," No. 7 (2007) [Rihanna featuring Ne-Yo]
"Don't Stop the Music," No. 3 (2008)
"Take a Bow," No. 1 for one week (2008)
"If I Never See Your Face Again," No. 51 (2008) [Maroon 5 featuring Rihanna]
"Disturbia," No. 1 for two weeks (2008)
"Rehab," No. 91 to date (2008)

YOu can't really compare since there was no itunes back then and now it so easy to get hot 100 with itunes.
Shania's accomplishment was so much greater.

Yes I agree, Shania as well is a better singer and performer and yes, she did reach a wider audience.

Rihanna's music is good, but it's aimed mostly at young people.

With her new single, "Rehab" (Def Jam), Rihanna ties [B]Shania Twain [/B] for the most hits from an album. "Rehab" - yet another seeming revamp of Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" from the Timberlake/Timbaland partnership - is the eighth hit from "Good Girl Gone Bad." It's pleasant enough, but, more important, it sets up a record-breaker when the superior "Breakin' Dishes" is released.

Definitely the wrong vibe to send out, what with all the rising numbers in teenage pregnancies.

You guys do realize Rihanna did kind of cheat....


She released "Good Girl Gone Bad" twice. So "Distrubia" could get released. Fergie did the same thing with "The Dutchess" so she could release her bonus tracks too.

RiRi is in a different genre. Its apples and oranges. I like them both. They are both successful and good for their accomplishments.
