rihana music career

Rihanna's debut album Music of the Sun was released 30 August 2005 from which, further singles were released, the first being "Pon de Replay" which was released on October 11, 2005 and reached position #2 in both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart due to considerable airplay, and gained several #1 positions in various niche charts The single itself was written by Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers alongside Rihanna herself and described by Rolling Stone magazine as a "poppy piece of dancehall reggae with slapping, syncopated beats recalling big-band jazz." However, despite Pon de Replay's commercial chart success, the album itself was rated 2½ out of 5 stars by Rolling Stone Magazine and described as lacking the replay value, ingenuity and rhythm of the single with "generic vocal hiccups and frills" of US R&B inflecting upon her "caribbean charm" Since its release, the album reached the top 10 in both US and Canadian charts, gaining gold certification from the RIAA from selling 500,000 units and subsequent platinum certifications for selling 2 million units in various other countries.

To further promote the album, Rihanna toured as an opening act for American pop singer Gwen Stefani.The second single, "If It's Lovin' That You Want was considerably less successful than it's predecessor, peaking at position #36 on the U.S Billboard Hot 100 and position #11.

When asked about the nature of the album by AskMen Magazine about the Album itself, Rihanna noted that it was released quickly after she was discovered in her home as a means of portraying her image as a girl from a small area who had moved to a large country in line with her debut, and that her second album was released somewhat shortly thereafter to illustrate that in her time in the country she had grown up quicky enough to release another album

Selena Gomez: The Anti-Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus has spent her summer Tweeting and possibly stealing Liam Hemsworth from another woman.

Conversely, fellow Disney star Selena Gomez has been getting so heavily involved in charitable endeavors that she's been appointed the youngest Ambassador ever for UNICEF, a worldwide organization that focuses on underprivileged children.

"Every day 25,000 children die from preventable causes," said Gomez. "I stand with UNICEF in the belief that we can change that number from 25,000 to zero. I know we can achieve this because every moment UNICEF is on the ground providing children with the lifesaving assistance needed to ensure zero becomes a reality."

The Wizards of Waverly Place star isn't all talk, either:

She's heading off to Ghana this week on her first official field-mission for UNICEF. Said Caryl Stern, CEO of the company:

"We're very pleased to have Selena join the UNICEF family, as a long time supporter, she will continue to capture and engage and audience of millions of young people to help ensure the health, education, equality and protection of every child."

Miley, meanwhile, will continue to Tweet about eating too much ice cream and wanting to be cuddled.
