New section for 5th album and future projects

Doesn't there need to be a new section about Rihanna's new album and upcoming projects? Iluvrihanna24 (talk) 13:01, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

No. The album is supposed to come out around September, but even the name hasn't been announced. I'm not particularly convinced production is going that well, and I'll be entirely unamazed if the eventual release is actually somewhat later.

The book is due out in September, we hear, but I don't see it as so wildly defining, even if she actually did write more than 40% of it, which I frankly doubt. Anyway, it's really only relevant to us if the book makes a big splash (millions and millions sold, not just shipped to bookstores; or is universally praised by respected critics; or she reveals she slept with Obama or shot Kennedy; or the ink causes cancer) and is widely reported for same.

The film isn't finished, and hasn't even been started. To me, a film that hasn't begun filming is still a non-film. And making a big deal about non-films (and non-books, non-albums, non-software, non-hurricanes, etc.) violates WP:CRYSTAL. Patience, folks. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 13:44, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

The name of her new album is "Loud" she told her fans herself on her website, www.rihannadaily.com. It is rumored to be released either on November 2, 2010 or November 16, 2010. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.93.195.85 (talk) 01:11, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

NEW SECTION?!

I really think that the fifth album should be split into another section entitled: "Fith studio album and film debut" because 2009 and Rated R was a hard year for Rihanna with the domestic violence and her new album is about moving on! 82.24.227.215 (talk) 09:57, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

seeing as i can't edit for some stupid reason it says only girl release date is 14 september. it is september 7!! 82.24.227.215 (talk) 15:58, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

that was a premier not a release. Theres a major difference. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 01:23, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Singles off the Rated R album are still currently released on radios and music videos of them are still being shown on television. I believe that once the album has been released then you can start a new section for it. ozurbanmusic (talk) 22:37, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Associated Acts

To everyone who keeps adding artists who've collaberated with Rihanna in the associated acts section. Please don't according to this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_musical_artist#Associated_acts So Rihanna has collaberated with Jay-Z on a few occasions, so I'm only gnnr add him. ozurbanmusic (talk) 21:43, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

This field can include, for example, any of the following:

• For individuals: groups of which he or she has been a member
• Other acts with which this act has collaborated on multiple occasions, or on an album, or toured with as a single collaboration act playing together
• Groups which have spun off from this group
• A group from which this group has spun off

The following uses of this field should be avoided:

• Association of groups with members' solo careers
• Groups with only one member in common
• Association of producers, managers, etc. (who are themselves acts) with other acts (unless the act essentially belongs to the producer, as in the case of a studio orchestra formed by and working exclusively with a producer)
• One-time collaboration for a single, or on a single song
• Groups that are merely similar

Only Girl (In The World)

2009: Domestic violence case and Rated R

2009 and 2010. Rude Boy, Te Amo and Rockstar 101 as well as her Last Girl On Earth Tour have been in 2010 as apart of the Rated R era. calvin999 17:41, 18 September 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calvin999 (talk • contribs)

Why??? Loud is clearly a new era. I don't agree with this change... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikoism (talk • contribs) 16:50, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Help

I have been working so hard on the song article for "Rehab", it is almost GA-class worthy. Please can some other Rihanna Wiki editors help out a bit with some finnishing touches, namely a live performance pic or two? Thanks! - Blizzard01 (talk) 08:46, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

If you want Rihanna Wiki editors you might be better off asking at the Rihanna Wiki, not here at Wikipedia. Also, what value is there in live performance photos in illustrating a song, as would be appropriate at Rehab (Rihanna song) (wikilink added for your convenience)? — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 10:24, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Albums sold

I think somebody should add how many albums she's sold worldwide because many get confused and think that she's only sold 5 million albums worldwide, when that's solely for the U.S. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.141.25.2 (talk) 18:07, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Article for "Who's That Chick?"

We don't know if "Who's That Chick" is gonna be on Loud, but it's being promoted heavily with Doritos. The 2 music videos for it premiered today on Doritos' Late Night website. The video's are also a mark in music video history, making it the first interactive music video ever. This song deserves it's own article. It has also been confirmed to be on David Guetta's One Love re-release, One More Love. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1650333/20101019/rihanna.jhtml --Sdoo493 (talk) 12:45, 19 October 2010

Pronunciation in article

Is it pronounced /riˈɑːnə/ ? I heard an interview where it was pronounced with a different 'a' sound (like the a in cat). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.41.16.175 (talk) 22:25, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

/riˈænə/ is, I believe, the usual pronunciation in the UK; I live here and I've never heard /riˈɑːnə/. I'll add this to the article. 92.4.217.164 (talk)

Rihanna SNL Appearances

Where should those go? In the regular narrative? Shy Ronnie and Shy Ronnie 2.0 need to be mentioned somewhere in this document! In my experience, this is something people talk about when they discuss Rihanna. (mikomango (talk) 06:45, 31 October 2010 (UTC))
