Rihanna’s Most Iconic Era?

Most iconic era, I would definitely say is LOUD. She was in her PRIME.

GGGB definitely put her at the top... but really just Umbrella and kind of a few others. With LOUD we got Only Girl, S&M, What's My Name, Cheers, etc.. She STAYED relevant.

For fun, personal favorite is Talk That Talk. I have a beautiful connection to that album 

Kind of? A Few?

Don't Stop the Music, Disturbia, Take A Bow....Rehab and Hate That I Love You were both hits and then there was that Maroon 5 collaboration single. She was as inescapable as she was with Loud honestly. I think the only difference between the success of the two eras is that I think Umbrella mightve been her most successful song ever right? Even to this day?

Ok, I will give you Disturbia.

Those songs were big, but I don't feel like they had as big of an impact as LOUD's singles. LOUD was definitely more iconic. I feel like she's more known for S&M, Only Girl, and What's My Name more than she is for Take a bow...

If you're going to take Disturbia you have to take Don't Stop the Music because that song is way more prevalent even today. As for Take A Bow it was a huge inescapable hit, and its one of those songs thats still used in generic playlists that you hear faintly in the background as you shop for groceries or are sitting in a waiting room.
