Rihanna’s 6th album, “Talk That Talk“, has become her 5th consecutive platinum album in the United States, which means it has sold over 1 million copies since its November 2011 release.
The album spawned the worldwide smash singles “We Found Love” & “Where Have You Been“, as well as the urban hits “Birthday Cake” & “Talk That Talk”.
“Talk That Talk” has sold around 3.2 million copies worldwide.
Rihanna has returned to Number 1 on the Official UK Albums Chart with “Talk That Talk”. The Bajan singer, who was at Number 4 in Wednesday’s Official Albums Chart Update, has leapfrogged mid-week leader Plan B to retake the top spot with her sixth studio album. Since its release last November, “Talk That Talk” has spent an impressive 38 weeks in the Official Albums Chart Top 40 and is on course to break the million sales barrier over the coming weeks. The album, which debuted in the Top 10 in over 15 countries, has already sold over 3 million copies worldwide.

Rihanna has used her Instagram account (@badgalriri) to show Rihanna Navy the single cover for “Where Have You Been”, the 4th single from her latest album, “Talk That Talk”.
“‘Where Have You Been’ is the single that is going to start kicking in,” Rihanna told Capital FM. “We just shot the video with Dave Mars a couple of weeks ago. We wanted to use a lot of natural habitat. You know, we built a stage but everything went back to either a little bit of tribal or different cultures, and all mixed in to nature somehow, and it was fun. [There is] some dancing. We had to dance because that song is just dance central. You can’t stop moving when you hear it.’”
The track has already been added to the United States’ biggest radio stations: Z100 and KIIS FM. Make sure to start RIHquesting it!
Rihanna and Chris Brown have collaborated on remixes of each other’s tracks. The singing duo posted the new tracks on file sharing sites, also talking about them on their Twitter pages.
It was rumoured last week that they had been working together on Rihanna’s track ‘Birthday Cake’, which originally appeared on her latest album ‘Talk That Talk’. Listen to Rihanna and Chris Brown’s remix of ‘Birthday Cake’ below:
Earlier today, the Grammy winner posted a message to Rihanna wishing her a happy birthday. When she asked who wanted some “cake”, Brown responded: “Cake, cake cake!” and posted a link to a remix of ‘Birthday Cake’ on ZShare.
Rihanna wrote to Brown on Twitter: “‘Turn up the music’ remix,” then added: “It’s a download OVERLOAD!!! Working on more links for u guys, so err body could have some #CAKE.”
Listen to Chris Brown and Rihanna’s remix of ‘Turn Up The Music’ below:

“Birthday Cake producers Da Internz recently talked about extended “Birthday Cake” version. They have confirmed the song is COMING! And we might get it even this week!
They have also confirmed there’s a collaboration included! We just can’t wait! Who do you think will join Rihanna on this track?
It has only been announced that Rihanna will perform “Princess Of China” with Coldplay at the Grammys this weekend. However, Rihanna’s dancers are rehearsing as well. Maybe we should expect a few surprises… The 54th Annual Grammy Awards will be held on February 12, 2012, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles being broadcast on CBS 8:00 p.m. ET.
Would you like “Birthday Cake” to be a single? That’s what Rihanna asked her 13 million Twitter followers yesterday. She also tweeted: “Now here’s the trick question! #IF I put collaborator on it, who would u wanna see lick the icing off????? #CAKE I need somebody #DIRRRTY on my Birthday #CAKE ;) lol And please!!!! No girls allowed on #CAKE” Thoughts??
Rihanna is this year’s 9th most desirable woman according to AskMen.com. “In her memoir Bossypants, Tina Fey cheered Beyonce for “bringing back the leg meat.” Well, Rihanna has taken that “leg meat” torch and run with it. Watching her dance makes us forget that we ever desired supermodels with sticks for legs. Even the snooty Brits can’t get enough of her. When Coldplay’s Chris Martin needed a female vocalist for his recent “Princess of China,” he got Rihanna — even though his wife Gwyneth Paltrow is trying to jumpstart her singing career. Sorry, Gwyneth, you’ve got no “leg meat.”"
