Good girl gone Platinum

Minutes before she performed at The Fort, Rihanna was presented with a platinum award by MCA Music Inc. for her recent album, “Good Girl Gone Bad,” which generated quite a number of sales and at the same time generated numerous downloads from mobile tones to full track music.

Her recent album has indeed turned out to be a compilation of her greatest hits — Umbrella, Don’t Stop the Music, Shut Up and Drive, Hate that I Love You, Disturbia, Take a Bow, If I Never See Your Face Again and her newest single Rehab.

More than 70,000 people attended Rihanna’s concert, all excited and eager to witness the singer grace the stage. An extravagant display of fireworks served as the red carpet to mark the start of her performance. There was a diverse mix of nationalities, ages, and gender preference as well as music-genre driven personalities that filled up the Fort Bonifacio open field that was literally converted into a dance floor once Rihanna opened up her turn on the stage with Disturbia.  It was easy to pinpoint which of Rihanna’s songs took hold of the Filipino taste over the course of her career in the music industry. The members of the audience sang along to Disturbia, SOS, Unfaithful, Don’t Stop the Music, Shut Up and Drive, Rehab, I Hate That I Love You, and Take A Bow. Yet, the highlight of the night was the unforgettable duet between Rihanna and Chris Brown in the smash hit Umbrella that capped off the show. 

To celebrate the victory of Rihanna’s concert and her platinum award, MCA Music Inc. releases the international edition of “Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded,” packed with all of Rihanna’s hits plus a bonus DVD with never-before-seen footage of her concert, plus four live performances. Also available is the full DVD of Rihanna’s concert, titled “Good Girl Gone Bad: Live” that provides the perfect medium for rekindling the unforgettable performance of Rihanna over and over again.
