Rihanna Samples Avril Lavigne on New Album


“Cheers (Drink to That),” one of the tracks on Rihanna’s latest set Loud interpolates Avril Lavigne’s 2003 hit  “I’m With You.” The song was the third hit off the Let Go album, following “Sk8er Boi.” It was also nominated for Grammies in several categories and was the first ballad to be released as a single.

“I’m With You” was No.1 in Mexico and the third track to reach the top ten in the US.  It made it to No.11 in Sweden and No.7 in the UK. “Losing Grip” was the final single to be lifted off the Let Go. Lavigne has so far issued three albums and 14 singles. In January, the singer contributed to the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack. The single, “Alice,” was a flop though and only manage to reach No.71 in the US  and No.59 in the UK. A new album is slated for release next year and it has already been announced that “What the Hell” will be the first single.
