I hope the album has longevity too. Shup Up and Drive (and Breakin' Dishes after that?) seen like they should have good potential as singles.

Don't know about Billboard yet, but the album is now UK #1.

That's some good news. Having a #1 album in a major music market like that must surely give her star power a bit of a boost.

i just realized...i really don't like Shut Up and Drive...i think Breakin' Dishes is a better song...

and people will get mad at me for this, but it's scary...am I the only one that thinks Breakin' Dishes sounds very similar to Nelly Furtado's Maneater?

and another thing...i'm really wanting this Japanese mixtape...anyone know where i can download it? ive noticed a couple people in this thread said the have it.

Now that you mentioned it, I can see it. Mainly in the vocal delivery. Another thing I noticed about Breakin' Dishes; it's edited =(. Pissed me off when I downloaded the remix cd and heard that that the version they used for the remix is unedited and the one on the album that I bought is edited. GRrrr! It really messes with the flow and attitude of the song to have the goofy gap.

The album is Billboard #2 with 162k, ahead of Paul McCartney with 161k and after T-Pain with 171k (never heard of him before). It's a better debut than her previous albums (#10 and #5), but I like the album so much I wish it had sold even more.

It's nice that she managed to snatch the #2 position, but I, too, wish she would have been #1. Haven't there been about 5 occasions when the same artist or band has the UK and US album and single #1s, with Beyoncé accomplishing it most recently in 2003? She had a chance at history, but something tells me this won't be her last chance.

go girl you can make it ... and thanks for the remix cd again vinyl thought it was something new but it was the same thread ... everyone should really check out her remix cd ... that **** is hot

Partino · #8 13th June 2007, 09:46 PM

you can bet your well formed a** on that ... that girl is going to rock till 2030

**Cyria** · #9 14th June 2007, 07:30 AM

At least Umbrella is still #1 and with the quality/high profile of this album she seems to have won over more fans (like me

).

Partino · #10 14th June 2007, 07:57 AM

I hope that Shut up and drive has also an awesome PV ... I'm so looking forward to this PV

criminal · #11 14th June 2007, 11:00 AM

I wish she'd copy that scene from Britney's Stronger music video for SU&D, you know, the one where the camera, like, spins over the mirror on the car door. That is so cool.

Partino · #12 14th June 2007, 11:30 AM

still britney's best video ... well I have a feeling that we are going to see a lot of rihanna in the newest PV ... cause the song is about SEX .. and you don't have sex with your clothes on ... at least not me

spookshow · #13 14th June 2007, 02:21 PM

has anyone heard that version of Umbrella with Chris Brown in it? it's called Cinderella. i really like this verision, but there are bits where it doesn't seem to have been mixed properly and Rihanna is cut off.... but overall, it's cute!

I heard that Chris Brown wrote a song called Cinderella that shared a beat with Umbrella, but I haven't heard of an official Umbrella remix with Chris Brown on it, though I may be behind on the latest news. Perhaps a fan mixed the two songs together?

Miku · #16 14th June 2007, 03:10 PM

I really like her new album .. Umbrella and Shut up and Drive is the best tracks on the Good Girl Gone Bad

spookshow · #17 15th June 2007, 02:05 AM

it's not official (i think), but it's damn good and HQ

*cough* [credit to chris-pix for the link.]

IYFreak · #18 15th June 2007, 02:28 AM

Partino · #19 15th June 2007, 08:36 AM

but since his album is not out just consider it as a leaked demo version

criminal · #20 15th June 2007, 11:04 PM

I'd like Rehab or Hate That I Love You to be the third single. I'm sure Rehab would take advantage of Timbaland's and Justin Timberlake's current status.
