Rhianna To Release Deluxe Edition of "Good Girl Gone Bad"

     In one of the biggest jumps ever recorded in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Rihanna’s newest single “Take A Bow” rockets from #53 to #1 this week.

     “Take A Bow” also debuts at #1-bullet on the Billboard Hot Digital Songs Chart with a phenomenal first week of 266,696 scans.  The song was written by fellow Def Jam artist Ne-Yo and produced by Stargate, the same team responsible for Rihanna’s “Unfaithful” (of 2006), and “Hate That I Love You,” her Top 10 duet with Ne-Yo released late last year.

     “Take A Bow” raises the curtain on the upcoming new CD+DVD U.S.release of Rihanna’s GOOD GIRL GONE BAD: RELOADED.  The new configuration arrives in stores on June 17th – the week after the album officially marks its historic 52nd week on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

      The original 12-song CD version of GOOD GIRL GONE BAD – source of the non-stop string of hit singles that began with the MTV VMA and Grammy Award-winning global #1 hit “Umbrella” (featuring Jay-Z), then “Shut Up and Drive,” “Hate That I Love You” (featur­ing Ne-Yo), and the current “Don't Stop the Music” – will now be augmented with four bonus tracks: 1) “Take A Bow”; 2) a cover version of Maroon 5’s “If I Never See Your Face Again” (featur­ing Maroon 5); 3) “Hatin’ On the Club”; and 4) “Disturbia.” 

      The newly-produced bonus DVD for GOOD GIRL GONE BAD:RELOADED will consist of three components: 1) 75 minutes of live concert footage from a show in Manchester, England last December 2007; 2) a 17-minute documentary feature; and 3) a four-minute home movie of “Umbrella” created by Rihanna’s band.

      GOOD GIRL GONE BAD (released June 5, 2007) was the third album release in less than two years by multi-platinum MTV VMA, Grammy, and American Music Award winning artist – and CoverGirl spokesperson – Rihanna.  It followed-up 2006’s RIAA platinum A Girl Like Me, containing the back-to-back hits, “S.O.S.” and “Unfaithful”; and her RIAA gold debut from 2005, Music Of the Sun, featuring the worldwide smash, “Pon De Replay.” (Press Release)
