Off The Charts
Bad Album Gone Good?

So she sleepwalks through live performances, especially when she's singing a slow song (no more slow songs, please!). She's still looks fabulous, is wildly popular, and provides proof that rereleasing old CDs is great for business. Her album, Good Girl Gone Bad, jumped from No. 124 on the Billboard 200 to No. 7 after being rereleased with three new tracks.

Also, Coldplay, along with Lil Wayne, set a record this week for having the first two albums since 2000, when Britney Spears' Oops, I Did It Again came out the week before Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP, to debut back-to-back with more than 700,000 units sold. And that was back when people actually bought albums.

I know Terrera Marie is somewhere hot right now. She was as preety as Rihanna but not given a chance.

No. 3 · daria from Gorgeous Black Women

Huh? Where'd that come from? My impression of Teirra's work was never very positive considering all the people she worked with. From the quality of the songs she put out, you'd think she was Diddy's protege, not Jay-Zs.

No. 4 · divaliscious11

Yep Tierra Marie was Terror Marie.. I like Rhianna… she is no voice of the next generation, she's cute and she doesn't try to do too much

No. 5 · daria from Gorgeous Black Women

True Diva. Even with all the leg spreading on stage and dominatrix costumes, Rihanna doesn't have that air of desperation about her. There's a genuine confidence about her, not the please-look-at-me-and-tell-me-how-hot-i-am feeling I get every time I look at musicians that are twice her age (cough… Mariah… cough).

Daria, I will give Rere that. She is very confident.
