The most successful R&B album of this decade, Usher’s Confessions, yielded five successful singles. As a result, the album is on the brink of being certified diamond, which equals an impressive 10 million albums sold domestically. On October 7, Rihanna will continue her quest to achieve similar success. Already seven singles deep into her last album, Good Girl Gone Bad, the Barbadian singer is set to release the Timbaland-produced Rehab as the eighth (and final) single early next month. Though her U.S. sales totals doesn’t match that of Usher’s (the singer is currently hovering slightly above the 2 million mark), our current economic climate and the state of the music industry must be taken into account when making comparisons.
i would HOPE she'd stop coming out with songs from that CD that came out dang near 2 years ago.. ((good job milking it for all its worth def jam)) this song hasnt really been one i liked but.. its rihanna so if everyone hasnt heard it yet, its sure to be a radio hit right?
not my favorite from her album and not the best...i think breaking dishes will do better that this one...this songs not bad tho...but i think too many songs have been released, but i can't knock 'em for squeezing all they can out of the album...more power to her and her team...
It seems like Timbaland is either hit or miss and this happens to be his miss. Its not Rihanna's fault but she does average compared to her other songs on the album. The beat is too boring and makes you wanna fall asleep. OK
Amazing song right here. I think its pointless to come out with this as a radio single this late, but it is a very good song, one of my favorite songs. Well-produced by Timbaland and well-written by Justin Timberlake."Breakin Dishes" is a smarter single choice, though, but "Rehab" is the best song on the album, except for "Umbrella."
I concur! This is typical timbo right here. Tim what happend to the "are you that somebody" type music or the haunting of the "Raise up" Track you did for Pety Pablo? That drum rift was one of the best. Timb get creative again. I know you one of the best ears in music history, but this pop @*#$! is not showin it.
MAN I LOVE THIS SONG ITS REAL LATE TO CUM OUT WIT DIS BUT SHE WILL MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT THO THIS SONG IS CLASSIC ONE OF MY FAV SONGS OF ALL TIME REAL TAWK....
OMG I DONT REALLY CARE 4 RIHANNA BUT WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS SONG LIKE 5 MONTHS AGO I WAS IN LOVE WIT IT I LISTEN 2 IT LIKE EVERYDAY SHE REALLY DID HER THING ON THIS SONG I CANTN GET ENNOUGH OF IT
This is one of my favourite songs of the album. To be honest I didn't like it very much, my fav songs were Don't Stop The Music, Umbrella, Push Up On It, Sell Me Candy, Rehab and Good Girl Gone Bad...the others weren't that great in my opinion, I hated Shut Up And Drive for example! Rehab is superb, production is excellent (well it's Timbo's it can't be otherway), smooth, sweet and sexy, Rihanna's voice does her best and...could I want more?
Production on this Joint is SICK! Timbaland is the BEST producer in my opinion. His beats are so complex, yet so simple! Rihanna sounds GREAT on this track (even if it is old...who cares?). This is a SOLID JOINT! Very nice work!
I think if this would have a softer beat it would have been a HUGE hit, the beat matches her voice well, but a softer beat wouldv'e went ALOT better with her voice and lyrics on here, this is one of those relaxing songs at points, and Rihannas vocals are AMAZING, as for the CD, Get off it, wayyyy to long after the CD came out to release a single now, shouldve saved that song for the next cd instead of last..
Over a year after the first single, Umbrella came out, Rihanna is still pulling songs from her Good Girl Gone Bad album. This is a good song, and should have some success on the charts. I didn't like Take A Bow at all, but it made number 1 on Billboard 100. I'm amazed at Rihanna's success she has nowhere near the vocal talent of someone such as Mariah Carey, but her music is actually very good and she is probaly the most successful female artist at the moment. As a 8th single this is great. Timbaland does a good job on the production and it compiments Rihanna's voice nicely. A Good Song
I THORT THIS WAS GONA BE A REMIX TO AMY WHINEHOUSE REHAB,BUT I JUST WANTED TO LISTEN TO THIS BECAUSE OF TIMBOS PRODUCTION SKILLS AND HE DID A VERY GOOD JOB ON THE BEAT WITH THE USE OF INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATRED INTO THE BEAT,I QUITE LIKE THIS SONG NEVA HERD IT BEFORE BUT THIS ONE AND LIVE UR LIFE MAKING ME LIKE HER EVEN MORE..
heardn dis song last wk for da first time......i like it. but dats funny cuz i wasnt really feelin dis album....iono y...but timbo blazed da track...so smooth!!
ARE YOU KIDING ME MORE TRACKS FROM GOOD GIRL GONE BAD thats retarded that cd came out like 2 years ago are you serouse .... I mean the song is good but its nothing new or out of the ordinary for rihanna i would like it if she made more songs like her first two break through records (pon de replay and S.O.S)
wut this iz off of one of her cdz thatz that old- crazy!!...but i wudnt have known cuz i dont listen to her unless she's on thiz site. but n-e-way...itz aight...it aint no 1, but it aint great...itz aight...agian im not really a fan though so...but OK.
Timbaland's production on this is mad ill! I agree that Rihanna needs to come out with a new CD...lol. She is just like Beyonce...dropping all those single from the same CD and riding it's fame for like 2+ years. LOL...I guess you gotta get your money though. I don't blame her. Rihanna has had some hits from this album...and I'd say this isn't the hottest, but it's better than "Shut Up and Drive". LOL. Timbo serves this up nicely though. What happened to him BDF44? He reinvented himself. You gotta evolve as an artist to expand yourself. This is a definite banger. I dig Rihanna's mellower ballads a little more than her poppy, upbeat joints. This gets 4 stars from me. Just as good of a song as another "Rehab" by a very talented artist about two years ago. Too bad a certain product (which Rick Ross' "claims" he's the king of slanging) was the downfall of her.
TOO MUCH LIKE "WHAT GOES AROUND" by JT for my taste! I hate when producers do that (Stargate: Irreplaceable and With you are THE SAME!). So there's no stars for Timbo's laziness (even though his laziness is still better than the majority of the industry :p), only for the beautiful Rihanna's vocals and her creativity.
First she is Bajan not a Barbadian, many Bajans get offended when you call them Barbadians. Anyway this song was bumping when the album dropped, but I've listened to it so much now its kinda stale. But still a great song.
