Good Girl Gone Bad is Rihanna's third album to be released. The album has achieved considerable worldwide success, including six singles which have been released from the album. The album is Rihanna's most sucessful, going 2X Platinum.

Umbrella was the first single to be released, and features Jay-Z. This is her biggest hit to date, winning her a Grammy Award. It went #1 in EVERY COUNTRY featured on Wikipedia's discography page, illustrating its sucess.

Other singles include:

Shut Up And Drive
Hate That I Love You (Ft. Ne-Yo)
Don't Stop The Music
Take A Bow
If I Never See Your Face Again (Ft. Maroon 5)
Disturbia

Shut Up And Drive is a more of a chessy song which reached #5 in the charts and is very catchy to sing along to. 5/10
Hate That I Love you features Ne-Yo, and features Ne-Yo's usual theme in his songs of a love sick man, it's more of a romantic song. 7/10
Don't Stop The Music is her brilliant next single, really catchy and is one of those songs that makes you want to dance. Brilliant when you hear it on a night out. 8/10
Take A Bow is a slower, more moving song. It is very simular to 'Unfaithful', a single from her last album, but it's still worth a listen. 9/10
If I Never See Your Face Again which features Maroon 5. I'm not a big fan of this song, and it seems that other people aren't either as it only reached #28 in the charts, which is bad considering all her other songs have reached the top 10. 4/10
Disturbia is Rihanna's newest single, reaching #4 in the UK Chart show. I wouldn't be surprised if it climbed up a few more places. It has a good beat and i loved it from the first time i listened to it. 8/10

Other good tracks on the album are Breakin Dishes and Rehab. Rehab is probably my favourite song on the album, and it is produced by Justin Timberlake and Timbaland.

Overall, I think this album is a brilliant one to have, as it features many well known songs that are easy to listen to. Perfect for any R&B fan, and becuase Rihanna is Barbadian, some songs have a reggae/dancehall feel to them, which adds more spice to her music, unlike many other R&B acts of today.

I would definately recommend this to everyone. Perfect for summer - 9/10
