"'''Umbrella'''" is a [[Grammy Award|Grammy]]-winning [[pop music|pop]] [[song]] written by [[The-Dream|Terius "The Dream" Nash]], [[Christopher Stewart (music producer)|Christopher Stewart]], [[Thaddis "Kuk" Harrell|Kuk Harrell]] and [[Jay-Z]] for [[pop music|pop]] singer [[Rihanna]]'s third studio album, ''[[Good Girl Gone Bad]]'' (2007). Featuring vocals by co-writer Jay-Z, it was released as the album's lead single during the second quarter of 2007 (see [[2007 in music]]). "Umbrella" is recognized as the most successful song of 2007 on the United World Chart, gaining more than 8,160,000 points.<ref>[http://www.mediatraffic.de/tracks-2007.htm United World Chart Countdown 2007]</ref> It has been announced as the 6th most successful song of the last decade with 8.614.000 points.<ref>[http://www.mediatraffic.de/top-track-achievements.htm United World Chart tracks - Top achievements]</ref>

==Background and writing==
The music was written by [[Christopher Stewart (music producer)|Christopher "Tricky" Stewart]] and [[Thaddis "Kuk" Harrell]] and the lyrics and melody were written by [[The-Dream|Terius "The Dream" Nash]] with the rap intro written and performed by [[Jay-Z]]. The song was produced by Stewart with vocal production by Harrell.<ref>''"Good Girl Gone Bad"'' album sleeve notes.</ref>

"Umbrella" was not originally written for Rihanna. [[Christopher Stewart (music producer)|Christopher "Tricky" Stewart]] composed the song in 2007, with American pop singer [[Britney Spears]] in mind. Her label rejected the song, claiming to have a suitable amount of songs to work with for her future album ''[[Blackout (Britney Spears album)|Blackout]]'', while also Spears having professional difficulties at the time.<ref name="Rodriguez">{{Cite news |last=Rodriguez |first=Jayson |title=Rihanna's 'Umbrella' Was 'The Perfect Storm' That Almost Didn't Happen: Behind The Grammys |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1580820/20080201/rihanna.jhtml |work=MTV News |publisher=MTV Networks |date=([[February 06]], [[2007]]) |accessdate=2008-02-11}}</ref>

Concurrent to the event was the [[Grammy Award|Grammy]] season of 2007. Stewart and [[Terius Nash|Terius "The Dream" Nash]] decided to pass the song onto [[Mary J. Blige]], and also [[L.A. Reid]], the then-CEO of [[Island Def Jam Music Group|Island Def Jam]], Rihanna's label.<ref name="Rodriguez"/> Blige however, was unable to hear the song in full due to her obligations to the Grammys at the time. <ref>{{Cite news |last=Rodriguez |first=Jayson |title=Mary J.

Stewart confessed he was still reluctant as to whether Rihanna was the right artist to record the song, but following the addition of the "ella, ella" [[refrain]] into the track, he felt they were onto "something".<ref name="Rodriguez"/>

Following Rihanna's recording, Def Jam CEO-rapper [[Jay-Z]] added his [[rapping|rap]], and then a different verse. Before Stewart and Nash settled on the original rap composed by Jay-Z, he changed it without informing the songwriters. Stewart, however, noted that "from a songwriter's standpoint, he just really made it more about the song, with the metaphors about umbrellas and about the weather versus what he had before."<ref name="Rodriguez"/>

==Single release and promotion==
In many parts of the United States, the single was released on [[March 28]], [[2007]],<ref>[http://artists.letssingit.com/artist-9z9nx/news/209316 ''Let'sSingIt.com'' - [[March 21]], [[2007]], "Rihanna’s New Single Hits Radio March 28th"]</ref> although its official release date was the following day.<ref>[http://www.defjam.com/site/artist_news.php?artist_id=586&news_id=103239 ''Official Website'' - [[March 29]], [[2007]], Rihanna Launches New Single "Umbrella" Worldwide]</ref> The song premiered on the [[New York City|New York]] radio station [[WQHT|Hot 97]] and on Rihanna's [http://www.defjam.com/site/artist_home.php?artist_id=586 official website] on [[March 29]] at 5:00pm [[North American Eastern Time Zone|EST]].

"Umbrella" premiered on UK radio station [[BBC Radio 1]] on the [[Scott Mills]] show and was released digitally in Britain on May 14, 2007, its physical release following two weeks later by which point the song was already #1. It is claimed though that the song was released first on [[Radio Kado FM]] on May 11, 2007 although this is still disputed whether it was legal to do so.

Rihanna made formal appearances all over the United Kingdom prior and following the release of the single. She also debuted three new tracks in [[Preston]] at the BBC Radio One ''[[One Big Weekend]]'' event. At another promotional concert, she performed "Umbrella", "[[Shut Up and Drive]]" and "Breakin' Dishes". Rihanna performed "Umbrella" at the [[2007 MTV Movie Awards|MTV Movie Awards 2007]]. In Germany, she performed the song exclusively at ''[[Viva (TV station)|Viva Live]]'', and at the 42nd edition of the chart show ''[[The Dome]]''. "Umbrella" was also performed on [[Live Earth]], [[GMTV]], [[Loose Women]], [[Blue Peter]], Kiss Concert 2007, Sprint Concert, Zootopia Show, Stripped Show, ''[[Canadian Idol]]'', ''[[106 & Park]]'' and ''[[The View]]''.

==Reception==
Andy Kellman of [[All Music Guide]] commented: "'Umbrella,' is her best to date, delivering mammoth if spacious drums, a towering backdrop during the chorus, and vocals that are somehow totally convincing without sounding all that impassioned — an ideal spot between trying too hard and boredom, like she might've been on her 20th take, which only adds to the song's charm."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kellman |first=Andy |title=Review: Good Girl Gone Bad |url=http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:jcftxz85ld0e |work=All Music Guide |publisher=Macrovision Company |date= |accessdate=2008-02-13}}</ref>

==Chart performance==
The popularity and positive critical reception to "Umbrella" ensured the song was a commercial success. Coupled with relentlessly strong airplay of both the promotional video and indeed the song itself for the time surrounding its impressive chart run around the world, "Umbrella" was to become Rihanna's biggest hit.

Prior to its physical release, "Umbrella" achieved the biggest debut in the six-year history of the [[iTunes Music Store]], breaking a previous record held by [[Shakira]] and [[Wyclef Jean]]’s "[[Hips Don't Lie]]". As a digital single, "Umbrella" topped the [[iTunes Store]] singles chart in more than 16 different countries around the world.

On the issue dated June 9, 2007, "Umbrella" topped the [[Billboard Hot 100]] chart after a rising from the #41 position to the top, a jump of forty places, going on to spend a total of seven consecutive weeks at the top of the chart. The track was downloaded a total of 277,000 times in the United States alone, the highest debut-week sum since [[Nielsen SoundScan]] began tracking downloads in 2003. On the [[Billboard]] year end chart, "Umbrella" was ranked at #2, only behind [[Beyonce]]'s "[[Irreplaceable]]".<ref>[http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/yearend/2007/charts/hot100.html Billboard 2007 Year In Music<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Furthermore, total digital sales of the song stand at a reputable 2.7 million.<ref name="Billboard18">{{cite news

}}</ref> "Umbrella" was Rihanna’s second number-one single (after "SOS"), and both songs have records for two of the biggest jumps to number one on the Hot 100 chart. In correspondence with this, the song spent a total of four weeks at #1 in [[Canada]], where it became the first song to top the recently debuted [[Canadian Hot 100]] chart.

Perhaps the song's greatest success came in the [[UK Singles Chart|United Kingdom]]. The song debuted at number one on 20 May, 2007, becoming Rihanna's first chart-topper in the country and the third song to reach the top on downloads alone, after [[Gnarls Barkley]]'s [[Crazy (Gnarls Barkley song)|Crazy]] and [[Mika]]'s [[Grace Kelly (song)|Grace Kelly]]. The song spent another week at number one on just downloads, before the physical release saw the song raise its sales to 60,650, the highest figure for a single in nine weeks, and easily enough for a third week at number one.<ref>[http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=39747 Music Week Sales]</ref> Ultimately, the song eventually spent ten weeks in total at number one, just the seventh song in history to reach the benchmark and making it the longest-running chart-topper of the 21st century, as well as the longest since "[[Love Is All Around]]" by [[Wet Wet Wet]] in 1994. However, it should be noted that sales near the top of the chart were very poor for a lot of the song's run; "Umbrella" sold less than 30,000 copies in four of its weeks at number one, and in its final week, it defeated [[Kate Nash]]'s [[Foundations (song)|Foundations]] by just 131 sales. Its reign was finally ended on 29 July, 2007, when it was overtaken by [[Timbaland]]'s [[The Way I Are]] and Nash. By the end of 2007, "Umbrella" had sold 512,730, making it by far her biggest selling single to date and the second biggest selling song of 2007, trailing only [[Leona Lewis]]'s "[[Bleeding Love]]".

As well as topping the charts in the UK, "Umbrella" was a similar success throughout Europe, also reaching #1 in [[Ireland]], [[Spain]], [[Poland]], [[Sweden]], [[Belgium]], [[Austria]], [[Norway]], [[Italy]], [[Portugal]], [[Romania]], [[Germany]] and [[Spain]].

In [[Australia]] "Umbrella" entered the Australian [[ARIA]] singles chart at #1, spent six consecutive weeks at the top, and was certified Platinum by ARIA. It re-entered the top 50 in its 26th week at the position of #46, ending the year as 2007's 3rd biggest seller. It is also one of the few tracks to stay in the top 100 for a year on the charts.<ref>[http://www.aria.com.au/pages/aria-charts-end-of-year-charts-top-100-singles-2007.htm ARIA Charts - End of Year Charts - Top 100 Singles 2006<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://www.australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Rihanna+feat%2E+Jay%2DZ&titel=Umbrella&cat=s australian-charts.com - Rihanna feat. Jay-Z - Umbrella<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> In [[New Zealand]], "Umbrella" reached #1 on the New Zealand [[RIANZ]] singles chart and remained there for six consecutive weeks, ending 2007 as the years biggest seller.

"Umbrella" is considered Rihanna's breakthrough single in many worldwide markets due to the fact it achieved considerable success in countries where her previous singles had not even charted. It did, for example, become a #1 hit in most of the [[Ibero-America|Hispanic America]]n countries, and in some [[Eastern Europe]]an territories.

Due to its success in worldwide markets, "Umbrella" reached #1 on the United World Chart, remaining for 10 consecutive weeks and gaining 8.3 million points thus far. It ended the year as the most successful song of 2007, beating close competition from similar success story "[[Say It Right]]" by [[Nelly Furtado]].

==Music video==
[[Image:UmbrellaVideo(G3).PNG|thumb|left|Rihanna in the music video for "Umbrella"]]

While working on the album, ideas had already began to circulate concerning Rihanna's image, extending into her music videos. She asked American [[music video]] director [[Chris Applebaum]], who had previously worked with artists such as [[Kid Rock]] and [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]], to send her "something" to work with. Def Jam representatives were expecting Applebaum to the treatment.<ref name="Rodriguez2">{{Cite news |last=Rodriguez |first=Jayson |title=Rihanna's 'Painful' 'Umbrella' Shoot Kept Her On Her Toes: VMA Lens Recap |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1568860/20070904/rihanna.jhtml |work=MTV News |publisher=MTV Networks |date=([[September 05]], [[2007]]) |accessdate=2008-02-11}}</ref>

In response, Applebaum hurriedly conceptualized the video, one of his first ideas being the silver body paint that Rihanna is seen in. Applebaum was doubtful whether Rihanna would embrace the idea, but her positive response following a letter the director sent to the artist ensured its approval. Makeup artist Pamela Neal mixed a paint that would give Rihanna such a look. During the session, the paint was re-applied between takes to ensure she was completely covered. The set was closed to Rihanna, Applebaum and a camera assistant.<ref name="Rodriguez2"/> Rihanna also contributed her own ideas towards the video shoot, suggesting to Applebaum that she dance [[en pointe]], an idea which he accepted.<ref name="Rodriguez2"/>

The final cut of the video premiered at on April 26, 2007 at Thisisrihanna.com. Downloads were made available for those in the U.S. only from the website for a limited time. Rihanna and her dancers were choreographed by Tina Landon and the video was officially released on the [[iTunes Store]] on May 11, 2007, peaking at #1 for a period 8 weeks. On May 14, 2007, the "Umbrella" video debuted on [[Black Entertainment Television|BET]]’s ''[[106 & Park]]'' at #9 before achieving its peak of #4. It was Rihanna’s first video to chart on the countdown since her debut single "[[Pon de Replay]]" in 2005. On May 1, 2007, "Umbrella" debuted on MTV’s ''[[Total Request Live]]'' at #10, before reaching #1 on May 9 where it remained for fifteen days, making it the longest running #1 of 2007. "Umbrella" has been announced as being the most played video ever on Polish music channel MTV Poland, beating previous record holder [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]’s "[[Hung Up]]". Such was the success of the promotional video that it was also nominated for five awards at the [[2007 MTV Video Music Awards]], including "Female Artist of the Year", "Video of the Year" and "Monster Single of the Year", going on to win the latter two.<ref>[http://www.mtv.com/ontv/vma/2007/nominees.jhtml 2007 VMA | Nominees | View Nominees, Music Videos and Photos Including Video Of The Year, Best New Artist and Best Group<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> As of [[April 22]], [[2008]], the music video for "Umbrella" has been viewed over 53,700,000 times on popular video-sharing website [[YouTube]], including video duplicates.

The [[Wales|Welsh]] rock band [[Manic Street Preachers]] released their [[cover version]] of "Umbrella" to radio stations on 17th February 2008. A video for the cover is available on the band's official website [http://www.manicstreetpreachers.com/07/video/2008/03/27/umbrella_rehearsalo2_footage?headlines-page=1]. The song was included on a CD album titled ''[[NME Awards 2008 (album)|NME Awards 2008]]'' given away free with a special souvenir box set of the magazine ''[[NME]]'' on 27th February, produced in celebration of the [[NME Awards|Shockwaves NME Awards]] 2008 and Big Gig. The Manics were the recipients of the 2008 ''God Like Geniuses Award''. The 14-track album also features covers performed by [[The Kooks]], [[Wombats]], [[Kate Nash]], [[Lightspeed Champion]], [[Kaiser Chiefs]], [[Cribs]], [[Bloc Party]], [[CSS]] and others.<ref>http://www.manicstreetpreachers.com/godlikegenius/fans/</ref>

When made available for purchase on iTunes, the song reached #47 in the UK Singles Chart [http://www.theofficialcharts.com/top40_singles.php]. Despite being chart eligible, the release was not intended as an official single. As bassist [[Nicky Wire]] commented, "The ''Umbrella'' thing is an odd situation, especially for me with my insane marketing head on. Part of me thinks we should have given it a massive push as it’s selling loads on download, maybe we should have had a physical format and made it an official Manics single. I’m really perturbed that if it’s perceived that way, we’ll have had 33 consecutive Top 40 singles since [[Stay Beautiful]], back when we signed to [[Sony BMG Music Entertainment|Sony]]. I don’t want our record ruined. I can take it as a happy accident as long as the sales don’t push it to Number 42 or something but it is definitely not an official Manics single" [http://www.manicstreetpreachers.com/07/blogs/diary/2008/03/27/nicks_blog_march].

Nicky Wire said of the song, "This was my favourite track of 2007. It's just so razor-sharp. And who'd have thought a song called 'Umbrella' would be Number One all over the world? It's such an un-pop word. I love it when a record seems to come from another universe. I just wanted us to have a stab at it!"<ref>NME Big Gig Special Issue, 27/02/2007, p.5</ref>

Two further versions were later made available on iTunes and now comprise a three-track ''Umbrella EP''.

==Reported coincidence with weather==
The song's reign at number-one in the United Kingdom and Ireland occurred as the region was hit by [[2007 United Kingdom floods|extreme rainfall and flooding]], which led some people to jokingly suggest the two events were related, the media referring to it as the "Rihanna Curse". Interestingly, the precise day the song was knocked from the #1 position by [[Timbaland]], the weather seemed to improve. A similar situation occurred in [[New Zealand]], where the song hit #1 in the early winter of 2007 as the country was experiencing some of the worst storms in its history.<ref>[http://www.nzherald.co.nz/topic/story.cfm?c_id=264&objectid=10452521 ''Nzherald.co.nz'']</ref> In [[Greece]], "Umbrella" was released at a time when people were suffering through a summer of several major heatwaves topping 47C/117F, and the worst forest fires of modern history, killing 60 people. When the song peaked at #4 in the Greek singles chart in October 2007, the country experienced significant rainfall. Spain also experienced one of its wettest summers in decades, and the coldest August since the beginning of the 20th century during "Umbrella"'s chart run.
