Main article: Music of the Sun

Rihanna's debut album, Music of the Sun, was released 30 August, 2005 from which, further singles were released, the first being "Pon de Replay" which was released on October 11, 2005 and reached position #2 in both the US Billboard Hot 100, the UK Singles Chart due to considerable airplay and gained several #1 positions in various niche charts[14][15] The single itself was written by Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers alongside Rihanna herself and described by Rolling Stone magazine as a "poppy piece of dancehall reggae with slapping, syncopated beats recalling big-band jazz"[16] However, despite Pon de Replay's commercial chart success, the album itself was rated 2½ out of 5 stars by Rolling Stone Magazine and described as lacking the replay value, ingenuity and rhythm of the single with "generic vocal hiccups and frills" of US R&B inflecting upon her "caribbean charm"[17] Since its release, the album reached the top 10 in both US and Canadian charts, gaining gold certification from the RIAA from selling 500,000 units and subsequent platinum certifications for selling 2 million units in various other countries[18] To further promote the album, Rihanna toured as an opening act for American pop singer Gwen Stefani

The second single, "If It's Lovin' That You Want", was considerably less successful than its predecessor, peaking at position #36 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and position #11 in the UK A third single, "Let Me", was only released in Japan, where it was a big hit, reaching #8 on the charts

When asked about the nature of the album by AskMen Magazine about the album itself, Rihanna noted that it was released quickly after she was discovered in her home as a means of portraying her image as a girl from a small area who had moved to a large country in line with her debut, and that her second album was released somewhat shortly thereafter to illustrate that in her time in the country she had grown up quickly enough to release another album[19]
