Eminem feat. Rihanna – The Monster
First Hit #1: December 21, 2013 It’s the end of the year, time for Rihanna, though in a feature spot instead of a headline. Instead we have Eminem, and a bit of a retread. See, Love the Way You Lie … Continue reading
Rihanna – Diamonds
First Hit #1: December 1, 2012 It’s becoming a rather predictable – when December rolls around, we will see Rihanna ascend to the top of the chart. Unexpectedly, it’s a rare example of a 2011 song that’s actually somewhat positive … Continue reading
Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris – We Found Love
First Hit #1: November 12, 2011 There’s not much to We Found Love. Any meaning behind it is most likely gleaned from the video, since the lyrics are largely generic and repetitive. The song is otherwise some pretty rote EDM … Continue reading

First Hit #1: July 31, 2010 Eminem and Rihanna might be famous for their music, but they’re well known for being in volatile relationships. So it’s only appropriate that they got together to make a song about being stuck in … Continue reading
Rihanna – Rude Boy
First Hit #1: March 27, 2010 Rude Boy is basically Rihanna’s attempt at a recent Black Eyed Peas song. That’s not a compliment, though she does at least have the ability to carry a song with her voice. She doesn’t … Continue reading
T.I. feat. Rihanna – Live Your Life
First Hit #1: October 18, 2008 A crowd can enliven a situation. Take a club banger like Live Your Life, lots of elements are kind of annoying on their own. The robotification of Rihanna, the whining about fame combined with … Continue reading
Rihanna – Disturbia
First Hit #1: August 23, 2008 Is this an artistically justified use of bad autotune? While it’s a mostly predictable club banger, the lyrics are kind of a vague encroaching insanity – and Giallo references, which are kind of neat … Continue reading
