Some bio:
Rihanna’s debut album, Music of the Sun, was released August 30, 2005 from which, further singles were released, the first being “Pon de Replay” which was released on October 11, 2005 and reached position #2 in both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, the UK Singles Chart due to considerable airplay and gained several #1 positions in various niche charts. The single itself was written by Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers alongside Rihanna herself and described by Rolling Stone magazine as a “poppy piece of dancehall reggae with slapping, syncopated beats recalling big-band jazz.” However, despite Pon de Replay’s commercial chart success, the album itself was rated 2? out of 5 stars by Rolling Stone magazine and described as lacking the replay value, ingenuity and rhythm of the single with “generic vocal hiccups and frills” of US R&B inflecting upon her “caribbean charm”. Since its release, the album reached the top 10 in both US and Canadian charts, gaining gold certification from the RIAA from selling 500,000 units and subsequent platinum certifications for selling 2 million units in various other countries. To further promote the album, Rihanna toured as an opening act for American pop singer Gwen Stefani.
The second single, “If It’s Lovin’ That You Want”, was considerably less successful than its predecessor, peaking at position #36 on the U.S Billboard Hot 100 and position #11 in the UK. A third single, “Let Me”, was released only in Japan, where it was a big hit, reaching #8 on the charts.

It probably never occurred to Coldplay that they might be bested in the UK charts by a mobile phone ringtone on their route to fame and chart success.
And yet today the group’s new single Speed of Sound sits at No 2 in the charts, eclipsed by the Crazy Frog, the ringtone which has delighted half of the nation while leaving the other half profoundly irritated.
It marks a significant event in British musical history - the first ringtone-inspired tune to rise to the top of the charts.

It became clear during the week that the Crazy Frog ringtone, immersed within a German disco mix, had been outselling Coldplay’s long-awaited release by four to one. Sales have been boosted by heavy television advertising, particularly on music and cable channels.
The ringtone was originally the idea of Daniel Malmedahl, a computer salesman from Gothenburg, whose impersonation of a two-stroke motor scooter reduced his friends to tears of laughter. It was posted on a website where it was discovered by another Swede, Erik Wernquist, a 3D graphics designer, who drew a cartoon to match the sound.
His blue frog with prominent belly button and 1950s-style crash helmet was picked up by ringtone company Jamster and heavily promoted by the company across all mediums. Jamster has made more than ?10m from people downloading Crazy Frog ringtones.
Its march into mainstream culture was further assisted by the German dance act Bass Bumpers, who combined Mr Malmedahl’s invention with Axel F, the theme from the 1984 film Beverly Hills Cop.
Gennaro Castaldo, a spokesman for the HMV retailing chain, said the the fact that Crazy Frog was outselling Coldplay “shouldn’t come as that much of a surprise when you consider its huge novelty appeal and the massive amount of exposure it is getting. Kids obviously find it cute and cool, but students and office workers seem to be drawn to its rather kitsch, ironic appeal”.
Sociologist Peter Webb, from the University of Birmingham, said the frog’s success reflected a trend for children to spend more money on mobile phones and computer games than music.
He said: “This is the situation the music industry has to contend with in a climate of decreasing sales - especially within the singles market - significant free downloading practices and many demands on time, resources and creative practice of consumers in general.”
The phenomenon has excited strong emotions. In recent weeks, 400 people have complained to the Advertising Standards Authority about the Crazy Frog commercial, forcing the ringtone company to cover up the animated frog’s genitalia.
