Best Rihanna Albums

Everyone loves this album. This has more pop hits than her other albums. Good Girl Gone Bad is still good, but that album still lacks something. Rated R, Talk That Talk, and Unapologetic have the attitude but few potential hits. Anti is a masterpiece, but that album isn't radio-friendly. Loud stands out among the rest because it's just a chill album.

Loud is her best album by far. Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded was nearly great too, but when you compare Only Girl, What's My Name, S&M, Man Down, California King Bed, etc., they beat songs like Umbrella, Disturbia, Take a Bow, and Don't Stop the Music. What makes this album stand out further is it has no fillers.

Rated R was not so bad but was dark, even though it had great singles like Rude Boy. We Found Love, Diamonds, Stay, and Cockiness were great hits from Unapologetic and Talk That Talk, but the albums aren't as special as Loud. Her first two albums I honestly didn't bother to get. I just got SOS, Unfaithful, and Pon De Replay, so I can't judge those albums.

Anti sure stands out, but it's not her best album at all. She could've done way better after making us wait four years, and we didn't get half the goodness in Loud. I don't think Anti deserves to be her best, though it has some good singles. Who knows, maybe her next album will be better than Loud.

No matter what people say, this is Rihanna's best album. Some say it is dark and creepy. Yet, we have songs on here like Rude Boy, Photographs (a reminiscent song that many people can relate to), Hard, and Rockstar 101.

Also, who cares if it was dark and creepy? It was honest. These were the emotions she was feeling. When she felt angry and vengeful, she communicated it on Fire Bomb and G4L. When she felt sad and heartbroken, she communicated it on Stupid In Love and Cold Case Love. When she felt like she was in charge of her own life, she sang on Wait Your Turn. When she felt fearful but accepting of what was to come, she communicated it on The Last Song and Russian Roulette. There was even time left for storytelling on Te Amo.

All in all, this album tells a story, a fluent story. This album represents a landscape of emotions. Lyric-wise, production-wise, and even vocal-wise, this is her best album. People can't appreciate it for the masterpiece it is because they want to label it as dark. Well, not every aspect of life is bright, happy pop. There are dark days, and those dark days are what made up this beautiful and complete album. Each song is brilliant and encompasses a different emotion, mood, tone, or attitude. That's why it's so amazing.

Rated R takes you on a complete journey, more than any album Rihanna has ever created. That's why it is her best album to date.

ART. Every artist with a respectable career has at least one album that is experimental and creative. Anti is that album. There are three albums I like from Rih's discography: Rated R, Loud, and now the third is this one. This is no doubt one of the most essential phases in her career, her attempt at being more than a pop star.

Although it isn't perfect, it shows much more purpose and promise than most of the albums out there in any genre.

After listening to her albums Good Girl Gone Bad, Unapologetic, and Talk That Talk, this is undoubtedly her best album. I was shocked when it wasn't nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammys. Rihanna shows so much growth on this album, and vocally, she gives one of her best performances.

Love On the Brain, Desperado, Kiss It Better, Yeah, I Said It. The only hard part of the album is when it ends. Her other albums are good pop, but this album shows how much of an artist she is. Anti should be much higher on the list!

This is surely her best album so far as it has one awesome track, which is Take A Bow, and a super awesome track, Disturbia, and remixes of some excellent tracks. My favorite song is Disturbia.

2018, and this album is still fire! So many great memories and nostalgic tracks and singles on this album. Especially Take a Bow and Hate That I Love You. This is Rihanna's timeless album.

It's easily her best album, her best musically, her best lyrically, and her best-selling. Everything.

I think it's my favorite album from her because it came out in 2011 when I just started listening to her music. She's the first artist I listened to. Honestly, I started listening to music when I was 10, and for the first two years, it was only Rihanna, nobody else.

And I don't feel embarrassed because she definitely has so many catchy hits. Like, 100 or even more. I remember September 2011, the release of We Found Love. It was such a massive hit. Then on my 11th birthday, I received Talk That Talk as a gift from a friend. I was so happy! I'm from Poland, and I was 11, so I didn't know mostly what she was singing about. Anyway, I'm almost 19, and right now, I know.

I mean, you can't compare this album to Loud or Good Girl Gone Bad. These two albums contain only hits. Every single song on these albums is catchy and sticks in your head. Talk That Talk was just a quickly made album to stay relevant after the massive success of Loud. However, after eight years of its release, and hearing Birthday Cake in one of the scenes in the movie Hustlers, I can say that this album is fantastic. All the songs are great, except for the fact that Roc Me Out is a simple copy of her earlier hit from Rated R, Rude Boy. I didn't love Cockiness (I Love It) either, but every other song brings back nostalgia.

Come on, guys, we are talking about an album that has popular songs like Diamonds and Pour It Up, emotional songs like Stay and What Now, and songs we can dance to like Right Now or Jump.

Apart from everything, we are talking about her first number one album. So tell me, doesn't it deserve more than being in a kind of fifth place? At least can't we say this album deserves number two? I mean, Billboard made this album number one! So why can't we?

I'm not saying that Loud is not good, but I think we do an injustice to this beautiful album.

She literally dropped the innocent act and gave into the modern pop stream. However, the following album is when she gained control of her sound again.

It's crazy that Umbrella was number one for 10 weeks in the UK!

"SOS," which became her first single to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

This is a good album. I mean, everyone wasn't really familiar with Rihanna's face in 2004-2006, but I always loved her songs.
