Rihanna compilation: you pick the songs

[Deleted]

If Rihanna were to release a compilation album after the Loud campaign is over, what 15 songs would you pick for it?

I'd go for your basic greatest hits album and tried to give a well rounded representation of her career. I'm also not really a fan of including songs an artist's been featured on a hits collection and she has more than enough hits without them.

Pon de Replay
S.O.S.
Unfaithful
Umbrella
Don't Stop The Music
Take A Bow
Disturbia
Russian Roulette
Rude Boy
Hard (US) / Te Amo (outside the US)
Only Girl (In The World)
What's My Name
Third single from Loud
Fourth single from Loud (or "Love The Way You Lie Part II" if that's not one of her bigger hits.)
New song

[Gravity.]

Umbrella
Pon de Replay
S.O.S
Unfaithful
Don't Stop the Music
Disturbia
Take a Bow
Only Girl (In the World)
What's My Name
Hate that I Love You
Hard
Rude Boy
S&M (assuming it gets released and is a top five hit)
New Song
New Song

I feel like her features should be there too, because she was the main attraction on them anyway.

I can't read apparently, because I just noticed that it was only supposed to be fifteen songs. It's fixed now.

[🅳🅸🆂🅲🅾]

01. S.O.S.
02. Unfaithful (Tony Moran & Warren Rigg Radio Edit)
03. Umbrella
04. Don't Stop The Music
05. Take A Bow
06. Disturbia
07. Russian Roulette
08. Rude Boy
09. Love The Way You Lie Part 2 (Piano Version)
10. Only Girl (In The World)
11. What's My Name?
12. S&M
13. New song
14. New song
15. New song

I omitted "Pon De Replay" because I felt that doesn't properly represent Rihanna's musical trajectory. I always felt she would be a one-hit wonder after that one because the song was so blah and generic. Then she came along with "S.O.S." (again, I am ignoring "If It's Lovin' That You Want" for the same reasons) and then she was pretty successful after that. If the 15 song restriction were removed, I would include 1 more single from Good Girl Gone Bad ("Hate That I Love You") and Rated R ("Hard").

I think 15 is too little in Rihanna's case hehe. I'd love to include Run This Town, Live Your Life, Love The Way You Lie, and two new songs.

14. Love The Way You Lie (f/ Eminem)
15. Breakin' Dishes

I don't like some of these, but included them because they were among her biggest hits. If it were based on personal tastes, there's no way "Umbrella" would be there, but it wouldn't make much sense to release a Rihanna greatest hits album without it. I would send out "Breakin' Dishes" as a single to promote the album.
