RIHANNA: THE SINGLES RANKDOWN

Hi Pulse! I realized that it's been nearly six years since we hosted a Rihanna singles rankdown, and that said rankdown was pretty outdated in terms of senders, so I decided it was time for a redo. This is a list of every single (solo or feature) that Rihanna has released over her 17-year career plus a few fan favorite non-singles. It's a pretty long list - 76 songs! - but most of them are very well-known, at least on Pulse, so that should make ranking them easier. Send your lists to me (walt91 ) by June 10, with #1 being your favorite song and #76 being your least favorite. Feel free to rank remixes if that's the version of the given song you prefer - I specified some songs with well-known remixes in the list.

The list:
All Of The Lights (Kanye West f/ Rihanna)

This sounds amazing! Count me in

[jtd Thee Stallion]

It's crazy I was thinking about how someone should re-do Rihanna's (and Beyoncé's) singles rankdowns the other day.

[312999]

I never realized how many songs I love from Rihanna, but also a lot of songs I loathe from her. She's a polarizing artist for me and I might have some controversial ranks at the bottom. Will see how it goes.

[twigs]

Of course we shall be sending

[Choco]

Sent. This was easy lol.

Ooh yes, I hope someone does a re-do of the Beyoncé rankdown as I didn't get to partake in that one and would love to.

[beyoncelover]

But yay, I love Rihanna and would love and certainly will partake in this rankdown.

You are a Beyoncé lover, you can host it too! :)

[Zeebz]

This list just makes me mad that “Push Up On Me” and “Drunk On Love” weren’t singles, but def /in.

hahaha good one. I'm new to these rankdowns so I don't really know how to go about hosting these and figuring out all the stats. But maybe something I can consider with more research and experience.

[nathanalbright]

Well, I think I'm going to have pretty unusual tastes on Rhi, but we'll see how it goes. I think I'll get to this one next week or so.

We def need a deep cuts rankdown. Whew!

[schnetzka]

I will definitely be doing this. I have to give myself a refresher first though because it's been years since I heard some of these songs.

I second (or third, I guess) this! Maybe that can happen once this is finished, since I doubt Normi is continuing with the album rankdowns

[nathanalbright]

I'm missing some context here, what was the intent of that burn?

That's it, that's the whole context

[nathanalbright]

No new Rihanna threads since 2021? Rip.

[ilikemilk]

Maybe, but then I would probably tank most of ANTI and most of her big hits and her underrated songs will be high for me. Worst closeness possible if I do this.

I'll probably do it, but let's just say I won't exactly oppose the "boring" winner of "Umbrella".

Sent my list! That was difficult but a lot of fun to work on! And of course, there were so many great Rihanna songs to listen to from throughout her career.

I don't remember the last time I did an Artist RD, so I'll try and send on time.
