In the music industry, some artists find
it very difficult to choose a single. One song could dictate whether an
album becomes a success or a frowned upon flop. One singer decided to let her
fans take care of this difficult task.
R&B sensation Rihanna
picked her new single based on fan appreciation and downloading. According to
MTV, the singer just had to look at iTunes downloads to see which songs she
should release next.
Rihanna chose We Ride because it was the third most
downloaded song off her album. It only stood behind the two previously released
singles S.O.S. and the most recent Unfaithful.
The singer was pleased with the decision and actually
claimed it was a great song for Summer. Expect We Ride to be her next single.
That’s not where the Rihanna
news stops. The singer has been flirting with new movie roles, but also claims
nothing has been finalized. What has been confirmed is her new tour and the
young star is currently on the road.
These are the current tour dates and locations for the Def Jam singer.
