Rihanna | The Diva Series

It’s time for one final induction into the Diva Hall of Fame and Party Favorz is more than pleased to finally honor the one and only Rihanna. Having moved from Barbados to the United States at the age of 16, RiRi began recording demos until her introduction to Jay-z, then head of Def Jam Recordings who ultimately signed her. The first single Pon de Replay taken from her debut album was a top ten hit followed by her second album with the #1 hit SOS. When her third album Good Girl Gone Bad came out all bets were off. Def Jam put a hefty amount of support and promotion behind that album including a dance remix album accompanied by its initial release. Umbrella was a certified smash, which solidified RiRi’s stature as an international superstar. She can thank Mary J. Blige for passing on that song when it was first offered to her. That track was followed up by other hit singles Take A Bow, Disturbia and, Don’t Stop the Music, which sampled Michael Jackson’s Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’, and further solidified her popularity. I don’t see any point in re-hashing her relationship with Chris Brown as she’s a grown woman and can make her own decisions (even if a good majority of folks disagree). You can hit the gossip sites for that crap. Equally, not much point in listing all of her accomplishments and hit singles. While not completely comprehensive, this set is damn near close. For cohesive reasons, a few songs were left off though Tony Moran and Chris Cox's popular mixes would likely resurface on a future RiRi set. While this may be RiRi’s first induction, it certainly won’t be her last. It’s likely time for her to release a greatest hits comp with a couple of new singles by the end of the year and then follow that up with a massive world tour, but who am I to say? Whatever she does, it will no doubt be a massive success. At this point, I would like to welcome Rihanna into the Diva Hall of Fame, where she is amongst good friends and serious heavyweights. Until the next time...ENJOY! Donate and keep the party going! Album : The Diva Series featuring Rihanna Genre : Electro, EDM Year : 2013 Total Time : 01:57:04 1.
