Rihanna Graces Vogue Cover Nude

CHART REFLECTION. According to Celebs, the famous photographer Annie Leibowitz has shot new images of Rihanna where the singer goes nude – nude color, that is. The April issue of Vogue is definitely highly anticipated. Rihanna recently tweeted “Just wrapped my first American Vogue cover shoot with Annie Liebovitz… Rah! #SEXY.” She later deleted the tweet as Celebs comment, “[Rihanna] let the cat out of the bag too soon for Vogue’s liking!.

Despite being nominated for no less than five Grammy Awards last month, Rihanna and Eminem failed to win any of them with “Love the Way You Lie.” She had her revenge taking home the BRIT Award for Best International Female Artist!

Hugely successful, Rihanna currently charts with “S&M.” Not only controversial in its lyrics (UK radio station re-named the track “Come On”), the video was banned from YouTube and David LaChappelle claimed that content was too similar to his own shoots for Vogue Italia.

WelcheMusic notes that Rihanna unfortunately falls out of this week’s top ten as “S&M” drops 7-12 on the singles tally. The track has spent 16 weeks on the chart so far, since its debut last November. The track has topped the Australian singles chart and reached the top ten across the Nordics.

Rihanna Goes NBA with Drake

CHART REFLECTION. Rihanna celebrated her 23^rd birthday performing at the halftime show at the NBA All-Star Game. According to Billboard, Drake worked “happy birthday” into the lyrics of their massive hit “What’s My Name?”. Rihanna performed several tracks, including “Only Girl” and “Umbrella.”

There were plenty of big names attending the games, and WelcheMusic doesn’t think about the sports men on the court. Beyonce, Jay-Z, Justin Bieber, Diddy, Stevie Wonder, Bruno Mars and Ne-Yo were there.

The November release Loud has resulted in no less than four hit singles for Rihanna. Her latest hit “S&M” has caused some heavy reactions. Photographer David LaChapelle has accused the singer of plagiarism as the video is said to be heavily inspired by the shoots published in Vogue Italia between 1995-2002. The video has been labeled “inappropriate” by YouTube and BBC Radio 1 has renamed the track “Come On” in a re-edit.

Both “Only Girl” and “What’s My Name?” have become worldwide hits, while the third single – “Raining Men” (featuring Nicki Minaj) – only charted on the US R&B chart, peaking at No.48 last December.

Lady Gaga Most Shared on Facebook

CHART SPOTLIGHT. According to the new music service Viral Music List, Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” is the most shared Spotify track during the last 24hrs. Viral Music List’s search engine keeps track of which artists, albums and tracks that people are sharing on Facebook. It’s a really cool service, which is automatically updated. Veronica Maggio’s latest single “Jag kommer” actually beats Gaga in becoming the most shared track the past 7 days, but does still not appear on the time tally where Eminem and Rihanna is atop with “Love the Way You Lie.” WelcheMusic likes :).

Diddy’s Finally Coming Home

CHART SPOTLIGHT. The new Diddy song is absolutely irresistible. Recorded with his new band Dirty Money, “Coming Home” has already reached the US Top 20. Released in the UK this week, the track has a catchy melody, some guitar riffs and a compelling chorus. WelcheMusic crosses all fingers that it will make the top ten! The new song is the latest single off the Last Train to Paris album, which has spawned no less than five singles yet.

The track is produced by Alex Da Kidd, who also penned the Eminem & Rihanna duet and Jay-Z himself. Also look out for Skylar Grey who sings on the track, the talented vocalist who also helped out on writing “Love the Way You Lie.”

UPDATED. Jaay – Diddy beat Britney Spears and bowed at No4 with this single.
