One of the demos recorded was that of 'Pon de Replay', which was written and produced by Carl Sturken, Evan Rogers and Vada Nobles in 2004. There, she recorded a collection of demos for a demo tape to be sent to record labels. Prior to signing a record deal with Def Jam Recordings, Rihanna was discovered in her home country of Barbados by American record producer Evan Rogers, who made the necessary arrangements for her to fly to New York. The song's accompanying music video was directed by Little X, and features Rihanna in a club with her friends, who ask the DJ to play their favorite song repeatedly. It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America denoting shipments of over 1,000,000 copies. It peaked at number two on the US Hot 100 chart and UK Singles Chart, whilst it achieved top five positions in Austria, Norway and Switzerland. The song was a commercial success, and peaked at number one in New Zealand and on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart. 'Pon de Replay' received positive reviews from music critics, who praised the song's composition and its choice as the singers debut single. The lyrics revolve around the DJ to play Rihanna's favorite songs and to turn the music up louder. Prior to signing a six album record deal with Def Jam Recordings, 'Pon de Replay' was one of three songs which was recorded for her demo tape to be sent to record labels. Her debut single, the song was released on 10 March 2005, lead single from the album. It was written and produced by Vada Nobles, Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers. ' Pon de Replay' is a song recorded by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, from her debut studio album Music of the Sun (2005). Music of the Sun chronology 'Pon de Replay' Rihanna needs to step her game up or just call it quits because this little 15 minutes of fame isnРІР‚в„ўt gonna last forever.Vada Nobles, Carl Sturken, Evan Rogers Singles chronology Current SMH She has a long way to go in РІР‚в„ў09 and beyond. They are ICONS for goodness sake! But theyРІР‚в„ўre overlooked and they lack promo and everything needed to make sales while Rihanna, who is known for her looks and РІР‚Сљfashion senseРІР‚Сњ is being shoved down our throats with back to back singles. and I totally agree with Sam about Def Jam slighting Mariah and Janet. It took her a year and some change to reach 2,000,000 records. SMH If Rihanna so great, she wouldРІР‚в„ўve gone three or four times platinum by now. SheРІР‚в„ўs only had THREE #1 singles from this album and the only reason why that happened is because she re-released the album ONE YEAR later with two brand new songs. And another thingРІР‚В¦I donРІР‚в„ўt know why Rihanna fans are even bothering to post those bogus ass numbers trying to pass them off as RihannaРІР‚в„ўs record sales. The visuals were okay, but the video was pointless, and it was pointless for Def Jam to release it as a single. Here is a summary of Rihanna's eight charting tracks from 'Good Girl Gone Bad,' in chronological order: Janet Jackson could have had eight hits from 'Rhythm Nation 1814,' except her label decided not to release a commercial product on the eighth single, 'State of the World,' and only sent promotional copies to radio, making the 1991 song ineligible for the Hot 100 according to chart rules in effect at that time. Rihanna's octet of hits has arrived a little faster, in one year and seven months, the time elapsed between the debut of 'Umbrella' in April 2007 and this week's arrival of 'Rehab.' That's the highest number of actively promoted singles any artist has extracted from one album since Shania Twain had eight hits from 'Come On Over' from 1997-1999. 91 gives Rihanna her eighth hit from her 'Good Girl Gone Bad' album. EIGHT HITS COULD HOLD HER: The debut of 'Rehab' (SRP/Def Jam) on the Hot 100 at No.
