Her debut album Music of the Sun was released in 2005, and the catchy bass-beat single “Pon de Replay
” became the soundtrack to thousands of pimped-up cars across the US and the UK. In spite of its ultimate platinum-status, the reception from the critics was a little more muted and, indeed, subsequent single releases fared less well.
The second album A Girl Like Me
was released in 2006, and the first single, “SOS
”, became her first Hot 100 chart-topper.
Her third album Good Girl Gone Bad
was released in 2007 amidst personal revelations about her family: part of an attempt to dispel her own good girl image. On this album she collaborated with Justin Timberlake (on “Rehab”) and Ne-Yo (on “Hate That I Love You
”). The first single “Umbrella
” was the biggest single of the year, topping the Hot 100 for nearly two months and getting stuck at the top of the UK charts for ten weeks. Unusually for such a big-seller, it was also widely praised by usually snobby music critics.
