Rihanna is on Fire!!!

Can I just say Rihanna is a beast.....a SUPER BEAST! She currently has 2 songs in the top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 list, "What's My Name" ft. Drake at #1 and "Only Girl in the World" at #4 ( in addition to being featured on the # 20 song on the list, "Love The Way You Lie").
Kudos to her for coming off of one great, extremely underrated album, Rated R, which described probably the lowest point of her life and than rolling right in to this next project, Loud with just as much intensity. Probably the best way to understand the shift she made is to look at her visual transformation. She went from a short, edgy cut to long flowing, bright red locks. While, the last album was dark and introspective (well minus Rudeboy lol), Loud is sure to be alot more vibrant and energetic. The many sides of Rihanna have definitely been appreciated by her fans. Only Beyonce has sold more records in the last decade than Rihanna (according to http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/columnists/gavin-martin/2010/11/12/rihanna-gives-lady-gaga-a-run-for-her-money-with-sassy-new-album-produd-115875-22710545/). I definitely appreciate the fact that Rihanna is not afraid to try out different sounds, from the Grime production heard in "Mad House," to slow ballads like "Hate That I Love You," than back to her Bajan roots in songs like "Pon Di Replay" and "Rude Boy." I hope Rihanna keeps working hard and continues to put out good music. Here are her two newest songs that are crushing the Billboard Hot 100 List if you haven't heard them yet:
