Rihanna's 'Rated R' Tops Charts

We thought it was suspect when she sold her album for 99 cents, but we can be assured it wasn't due to disappointing tunes. Rihanna's "Rated R" topped Billboard's R&B charts and is being acclaimed as the pop-princess-turned-hard-edged-rock-diva's most artistic compilation. She'll be celebrating her new hits on the East coast this week when she performs a special concert that will also stream live on Myspace tomorrow night December 3 and joins the set of SNL on Saturday December 4 as the hit show's musical guest.
