is your favorite good girl gone bad we
know our answer
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
rihanna songs for this list we’ve chosen
our entries based on a combination of
the artists fan favorites and their most
commercially successful songs we’ve also
excluded tracks by other artists on
which Rihanna has been featured such as
Eminem’s love the way you lie and
Shakira’s can’t remember to forget you
number 10 S&M this song is loud and
in-your-face which pretty much
epitomizes Rihanna’s diva status it’s
also a fun dance pop song that borrows
part of its sound from Depeche Mode’s
master and servant though Rihanna exalts
sadomasochistic things like sex in the
air and being tied up in the loud single
the lyrics are meant as a double meaning
for her love-hate relationship with the
paparazzi as well
you
brain
despite raising some controversy for its
sexual content SNM went triple platinum
and even spawned a remix featuring
Britney Spears
Oh
number nine
rude boy come on boy boy can you get it
up come here boy boy is your big enough
saying it’s a perfect mixture of dance
hall and up-tempo pop this rated our
single C’s rihanna challenging her rude
boy on whether he can handle her own
to get it and need it and I’ma put it
down her vocals are monotone but this
gives the song a mocking get playful
sensibility rude boy shows off her
talents for being sexually appealing but
also not letting any man get the best of
her
it became her sixth number-one single on
the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed at the
top for five weeks
number eight don’t stop the music
sampling the keyline from michael
jackson’s want to be starting something
this hit was the perfect mashup of hip
hop dance pop and techno this line may
have caused both rihanna and jackson to
be sued by the Cameroonian musician
claiming to be its originator by
considering each artists success with
its use it was well worth it
the lyrics describe that feeling of
euphoria when your favorite song is
playing and you’re in the groove it also
hit number one in over 10 countries and
helped Rihanna continue her rise to
musical startles I stop the music
shame write like a diamond
number seven diamonds shame right like a
diamond Rihanna does ballads quite well
and this song is no exception
beautiful sea I choose to be happy
relying heavily on the use of
synthesizers to give it an otherworldly
sound diamonds also features Rihanna’s
soaring vocals which inspire listeners
to be true to themselves
the song is lyrically different from
Rihanna’s other hits since it doesn’t
focus on harmful romantic or sexual
relationships to me I’m alive we’re like
diamonds
her new approach worked the unapologetic
single became her 12th number-one hit
and with over 7.5 million copies sold it
became one of the best-selling singles
ever
right
number six
SOS here we have a pre bad girl Rihanna
and one of her early tunes that still
stands out sampling soft cells hit
tainted love
SOS gave young RiRi a chance to have her
first number one hit
the song was originally meant for
christina milian but luckily she passed
and Rihanna was able to put her
signature spin on it easy and fun-loving
the dance pop and R&B single helped
Rihanna cement her status as an
international star
number-5 disturbia no gas and even get
started
that’s nerd nothing fish even speak as
one of Rihanna’s most distinctive tracks
disturbia is more adventurous than most
pop songs out there as it features her
singing about paranoia and confusions
just died
yeah
co-written by Chris Brown and originally
supposed to be recorded by him the
single for Rihanna’s good girl gone bad
rerelease is a weird mashup of horror
and dance music
but somehow it works to create a
completely unique sound
after all it took RiRi all the way to
number one again
it has since become one of Rihanna’s
favorites to perform in concert
number four what’s my name
Rihanna and Drake always kill it with
their collaborations as is demonstrated
by their future top-ten hit take care
here’s what I do
in this 2010 tune the dual teams up to
give a his-and-hers account of meeting a
person who understands them both
emotionally and physically
the catchy chorus is a major ear worm
but it’s one that listeners won’t mind
having stuck in their heads
critics have praised what’s my name
as an example of Rihanna’s better vocal
work and it’s hard to disagree
the chart-topper also earned the duo a
Grammy
yeah
number three only girl in the world
following the darker material of her
previous album rated R the lead single
off loud was a breath of fresh air Leona
sings about wanting attention from her
lover something that many can relate to
and enhances it with a gorgeous colorful
music video in which she stands alone in
picturesque fields interestingly enough
only girl with the album’s first single
but it didn’t hit number one until after
the album’s second single what’s my name
had already done so this may be a feat
that had never been done in hot 100
history before but it’s certainly well
deserved
Treasury Rainman is back with Little
Miss side number two umbrella and we’ll
never be Rihanna is all about
collaborating with her fellow artists
case in point jay-z and Kanye West on
run this town but it’s her one-on-one
work with mentor jay-z on this good girl
gone bad track it really caused her
start to rise the song was originally
written for Britney Spears but we can’t
even imagine that version and don’t
really need to okay don’t be Rihanna’s
unique voice and stressing of the title
syllables give the tune and addictive
sing-along quality and helped atop the
hot 100 for seven weeks
to have each other
my number
umbrella is also one of the best anthems
about friendship and platonic
relationships which she doesn’t often
sing about
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
that
Hey
without it takes
all the way
I want you to stay
number one we found love this song has a
larger-than-life presence just like
Rihanna herself
with Calvin Harris’s production bringing
we found love to the next level and an
increasing energy the Talk That Talk
single is a breakout of synthesizers
alarm sounds and a pulsing beat
meanwhile Rihanna’s voice has never
sounded more angelic as she sings about
finding love in a hopeless place
the electro house and dance-pop number
even beat out umbrella as her
longest-running number-one single
sitting atop the hot 100 for 10 weeks
and topping the charts in 25 nations
