PRINCESS RIRI HAS THE MIDAS TOUCH

Newly crowned pop princess RiRi has accomplished what many artists have failed to do for the past couple years.

According to Billboard, her latest album, Good Girl Gone Bad, has produced EIGHT charted singles, all which have done pretty good on the charts. The last person to do this was Shania Twain . Her album, Come On Over, produced eight hits from 1997-1999.

However, RiRi was able to crank out her eight in less time than the newly single Ms. Twain. It only took Jay-Z's prodigy one year and seven months. It also may be that Rihanna doesn't write her own songs (something Shania does).

Here is a summary of Rihanna's eight charting tracks from "Good Girl Gone Bad," in chronological order, and their peak position:

"Umbrella," No. 1 for seven weeks (2007) [Rihanna featuring Jay-Z]
"Shut Up and Drive," No. 15 (2007)
"Hate That I Love You," No. 7 (2007) [Rihanna featuring Ne-Yo]
"Don't Stop the Music," No. 3 (2008)
"Take a Bow," No. 1 for one week (2008)
"If I Never See Your Face Again," No. 51 (2008) [Maroon 5 featuring Rihanna]
"Disturbia," No. 1 for two weeks (2008)
"Rehab," No. 91 to date (2008)

Congrats, RiRi. Hopefully you'll release Breaking Dishes as the next single. I've had the video mapped out in my head since the first time I heard the track. And no I'm not sharing, because I don't want you bitches stealing my ideas.
