Rihanna continues to dish out hit after hit with her latest single; "Rude Boy" which takes her back to her Caribbean roots. The video for the single is definitely something you should see if you haven't already. Read more below about Rihanna's latest hit and her string of hit singles over the years.

Rihanna's "Rude Boy" earns the singer her sixth #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single is the first from her "Rated R" album to hit the top spot ("Hard" peaked at #8, "Russian Roulette" at #9) and her first appearance in the top spot since she guested on T.I.'s "Live Your Life" in 2008.
"Rude Boy" joins her other solo number ones including "Disturbia," "Take a Bow," "Umbrella," and "SOS." Rihanna also becomes the artist with the most appearances at #1 in the past five years since she debuted on the scene with her #2 "Pon De Replay."
Estelle Readies New Album!Now that she has unleashed her inner “Freak” in the out-of-this-world video for her new single, Estelle plans to keep the surprises coming on her forthcoming album.
The dance-floor-ready record featuring Kardinal Offishall is just a taste of what the “American Boy” chart-topper has in store on her third effort All of Me. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” she tells Rap-Up.com.
Among those she worked with on the follow-up to 2008’s Shine are Swizz Beatz (“He produced a bunch of stuff with me”) and Travis McCoy (“I also did a song with Travis from Gym Class Heroes”).
In addition, Estelle reteamed with John Legend, whose HomeSchool imprint she is signed to. “I did a bunch of songs with John,” she reveals. “He helped me write about four or five songs.”
Although she has nabbed some of music’s most talented artists for her project, the British songstress doesn’t want to overload it with features. “The album’s called All of Me, so I didn’t want to put too many people on it.”
Estelle’s third studio album is due this September on HomeSchool/Atlantic Records.
T-Pain Wants To Work With Brandy!
In the up and coming years, I would hope to improve the quality of music that’s being played on air. I see myself touring more internationally, collaborating with more artists and creating a bigger fan base as a singer/songwriter. I would really like to work with Brandy. This will be a great opportunity for me to expand and grow musically. I loved her song "Full Moon". Her vocals are the best in the industry.
