Talk:List of songs recorded by Rihanna

This article is completely unsourced

I'm talking specifically about "unreleased" songs. We need citations here - I will start removing all of these in the next week or so if sources don't show up. - eo (talk) 14:04, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

I've removed anything not sourced which does not appear on an album. Addition of unsourced content from now on will be promptly removed. - eo (talk) 17:42, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

About demos for Rihanna

People, stop this crazy adding songs which aren't really Rihanna's. Like Terminator or Emergency Room. There's no RiRi's vocals in it. for example: - Terminator is a song by: Bluu and Enpho —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.205.160.39 (talk) 08:30, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

About Emergency Room

Emergency Room is not at all a song by Rihanna featuring Akon. So please remove it from the list.

Best, --Discographer (talk) 16:31, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Are any of these on Youtube?! Where are the sources? Calvin • ^NaNaNaC'mon! 16:32, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes, "Goodbye" is (very nice song). It's also in this article. Best, --Discographer (talk) 16:34, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

"Winning Women" was created as part of a brand deal with Procter & Gamble, see press release: http://news.pg.com/press-release/pg-corporate-announcements/secretr-teams-recording-artists-rihanna-and-nicole-scherzin. It's technically not unreleased, P&G released it as a free promotional download.86.30.152.100 (talk) 20:20, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Who are the songwriters for Rihanna's songs?

If it's a list of Rihanna's songs shouldn't the songwriters be identified? Surely that is both important and relevant.

There is no mention of the songwriters on the main page, either.

This is one of the things I generally find frustrating about Wikipedia entries on music - a lack of complete information. Yes, I've looked up individual songs to find out who wrote it (and that's not always given in other articles).

31.99.110.96 (talk) 02:54, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

This is what I have in mind - add not only songwriters, but producer credits also, though I'd like to do away with the source feature, as the CD booklet itself happens to be the primary source anyway. Best, --Discographer (talk) 20:46, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I have thought of doing this. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 20:50, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

If you'd like to begin this Calvin, I'll help out when needed. Best, --Discographer (talk) 20:52, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I need to finish sourcing all the songs too, from the FLC. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn} 20:53, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Help from the wikiproject!

This list contains a list of unreleased songs by Rihanna, if any could find sources for even a few of them I'd be so grateful! Aaron • ^{You Da One} 14:17, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Missed songs

Hey guys, I think you kind of missed out at least a couple of recordings Rihanna released: Once there is "A Child Is Born" from Now That's What I Call Christmas! 4 and secondly there is another Christmas cover Rihanna did — "I Just Don't Feel Like Christmas Without You", also released to a Xmas compilation in 2008, I think. And there is also the parody song "Shy Ronnie and Clyde 2" by The Lonely Island which I think should be considered official recording for Rihanna, as it was for Justin Timberlake or Lady Gaga. Innano1 ^(talk) 13:05, 8 February 2012 (UTC+2)

Yes I know but I couldn't find sources for who wrote those songs. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:25, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Nobody wrote them, they're folklore songs. As for the latter one, The Lonely Island (find their member names) wrote and produced it. Innano1 ^(talk) 00:05, 0 February 2012 (UTC+2)

FLC

I am intrigued by the format of this list and look forward to seeing the final product once it passes FLC review. I don't believe there are any lists of the "List of XartistX songs" or "List of songs recorded by XartistX" nature with FL status, so this will set a new precedent. I had been working on "List of Rufus Wainwright songs" at one point, but the formatting is different. --Another Believer _(Talk) 15:48, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 15:59, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 22:08, 13 September 2012 (UTC) (non-admin closure)

List of Rihanna songs → List of songs recorded by Rihanna – The lead of the article says, Barbadian singer Rihanna has recorded material for her six studio albums and has collaborated...,' so there is no logical reason why the article title should not reflect precisely what is contained in the article. To revert unnecessary move and all the resultant redirects. I note that as a FL-class article the move should have been discussed first.Richhoncho (talk) 07:57, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

• Support. I don't know why the page was moved to List of songs by Rihanna. Logically the previous name is better. — Tomica (talk) 08:59, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
• Additional comment : WP Policy say that article names should follow WP:NDESC and WP:PRECISION. The present title does NOT meet the criteria of these two policies, being neither descriptive nor precise.--Richhoncho (talk) 14:14, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
• Support - per comments above. People should also be aware of this conversation between myself and Koavf, the editor who moved the article. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 14:24, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
• Support - All these unilateral moves should be undone. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:32, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

put a pic of memphis bleek

he had her in his album before her lead single dropped or any other artists had her in their albums. so he is very relevant. and im assuming diddy didnt actually write talk that talk since he was a producer on biggie's IGASTT which is sampled on the song so remove his pic or change to one like mj/avril

If ya'll got any information about the registered ANTI tracks that queenrih was gonna release please write it down on this thread. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.217.176.0 (talk) 16:10, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
