The Caribbean Queen is back in the music industry and fans are going crazy with her epic comeback. Whether it is singing for Marvel’s ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ or performing at the Superbowl with a baby bump; Rihanna has always been a role model of empowerment, beauty, and a soothing musical aura. Though Riri started her musical journey long ago, there was a long halt in her music career with the increasing pressure of life and business, Fenty Beauty. Rihanna is back in the industry again and hopefully, another studio album will be released soon.
While it is quite difficult to say which one is the Best Rihanna’s Album; it can be categorized on the basis of popularity and how much they moved the audience.
1/8.
Anti (2016)
‘Anti’ can be considered Rihanna most popular album which has appeared on more than 166 global music charts and dominated. Whether the sensually enticing tracks like ‘Kiss It Better’, ‘Yeah, I Said It’, or the piano-powered ballad ‘Close To You’; this album is one of the most diversified musical projects Rihanna ever created. Her badass personality reflects through the singles like ‘Woo’, ’Needed Me’ and last but not least ‘Bi*** Better Have My Money.’ The album reached more dynamic with wild west essence in ‘Desperado’ and psychedelic influences in ‘Same Ol’ Mistakes’

2/8.
Loud (2010)
Released in 2010, this is by far the most polished album by Riri which reflects her musical excellence and proficiency. This organized and euphonious album offered listeners some of the most iconic songs from Rihannna’s musical arsenal such as ‘Raining Men’, ‘What’s My Name?’, ‘Only Girl (In The World)’, etc to name some. Honey-drenched ‘California King Bed’ and reggae-infused ‘Man Down’ is also a part of it.
3/8.
Good Girl Gone Bad (2007)
It is one of the most exciting studio albums by Rihanna that offered some timeless pop hit numbers like ‘Umbrella’, ‘Shut Up and Drive’, and many other powerful creations. This album resonates with the style and essence of new-age pop music that inspired other pop artists as well. Boomy ballads like ‘Rehab’ to intriguing songs like ‘Disturbia’ and ‘ Take A Vow’, make this album a milestone in Riri’s highly progressive musical career. ‘If I Never See Your Face Again’ ft. Maroon 5 was the cherry on top.
4/8.
Rated R (2009)
Though this music project could not engage people sonically, its lyrical approach surely captivated many listeners around the world. ‘Fire Bomb’ is one of the most high-octane tracks from the album with is followed by ‘Hard’ and the unrestrained lustful essence of ‘Rude Boy’. The romantic number ‘Te Amo’ as well as ‘Russian Roulette’s encapsulating vibes did not fail to win the hearts of the fans.
5/8.
Unapologetic (2012)
Unapologetic is that one album by Rihanna that will make you play it on repeat however, reducing a few tracks from the album would have made it appear better such as ‘Nobody’s Business’ assisted by Chris Brown. It is a perfectly balanced musical album with upbeat tracks like ‘Phresh Out The Runway’, ‘Pour It Up’, and ‘Right Now’ as well as EDM hybrid ballads like ‘Diamonds’, ‘What Now’, and ‘Half Of Me’. ‘Stay’ is perhaps the most intriguing single from this album, featured by Mikky Ekko. Her collaboration with Eminem, ‘Numb’ also received a lot of attention.

6/8.
Talk That Talk (2011)
It is the perfect mood booster album that comes with high energy and beats to groove on the dance floor. Raunchy numbers like ‘Cockiness (Love It)’, ‘You Da One’, ‘Birthday Cake’, etc are quite exciting. The tracks like, ‘We Found Love’ and ‘Where Have You Been’ are equally exhilarating. ‘We All Want Love‘ shines bright in the whole collection.
7/8.
A Girl Like Me (2006)
This is the second studio album from Rihanna’s discography which showed plenty of room for improvement. Some of the hit tracks from the album such as ‘SOS’, ‘Unfaithful’, ‘Break It Off’, ‘We Ride’, etc created a huge buzz in the market but did not stay on the top charts for long. With comparatively immature vocals and a lack of her power’s reflection, this album is not much of a revisiting option for the listeners.
8/8.
Music Of The Sun (2005)
This is an impressive debut for a 17-year-old singer, embracing her roots in Barbados. The album offered highly pleasurable reggae sounds which are nice and hypnotic at the same time. Starting from ‘Here I Go Again’, ‘You Don’t Love Me (No, No, No)’, to ‘If It’s Lovin’ That You Want’ and ‘Pon De Replay’; this album made a perfect kick-start of Rihanna’s prolific music career.
Throughout Rihanna’s smooth and highly progressive music career, Riri offered her sheer talent, skills, individuality, and consistency. Each of the albums from her musical journey holds a special place in the hearts of her fans and global music lovers.
