Let’s face it, from explicit lyrics to scantily-clothed artists to racy videos, sex is a part of the musical marketing landscape. But is it the music, the skin, or a combination that propels music to the top of the charts?

How sweet! Rihanna helped celebrate the release of Katy's new single, 'ROAR' last night at the Lion in New York City.

Rihanna has a few purposes for her Instagram account: topless selfies, weed smoking selfies and hairstyle selfies. She took to the photosharing app once more last night to indulge in the latter breed of self portrait, showing off a style that may have been last seen on a blind girl in Lionel Richie's 'Hello' video.

There was once a time when pop star Katy Perry would stick her neck out for her celebrity pals, but then being a nice person who helped others ended up being all for naught -- so she's given up her righteous ways. Thanks a lot, Rihanna. Way to ruin it for everyone.

Despite the fact that an audience pelted Rihanna with food during a performance in England earlier this month, the singer still feels a strong connection to her fans. The connection is so strong, in fact, that RiRi couldn't hold back the tears while performing 'Stay' during her July 20 show!

At this point, if you're planning on going to a Rihanna concert, you know you have an hour window after the designated start time to get there.

Rihanna is taking a page from Lindsay Lohan's book and avoiding her courtroom obligations as long as she can -- and now it's going to cost her.

Move over, Justin! There's a new leader on YouTube and her name is Rihanna! The 'Diamonds' songstress has surpassed the Biebs as the most viewed artist on the video website. Go girl!

Ohhh Miley. You're going to be kicking yourself in five years time for this fashion faux-pas.

Rihanna ... topless? That's nothing new, right? Well, she has chilled with posting the in-the-buff shots as of late, but she's back to her old tricks again. The singer shared a topless shot (April 22) of herself in yellow panties and covering her boobies with a white robe while getting ready for one of the gigs on her Diamonds Tour...

Will they? Won't they? Wellll ... not right now. Sources are saying music power couple Rihanna and Chris Brown have broken off whatever they had. Again.

Strange Rihanna performed at the Xcel Energy Center, because at certain times her show lacked it.
