Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded is a reissue of Barbadian recording artist Rihanna's third studio album Good Girl Gone Bad (2007). Released to mark the first-year anniversary of the original album, the album features three newly recorded songs and a DVD showing exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of Rihanna's worldwide tour Good Girl Gone Bad Tour (2007–09). For the new material, she worked with past collaborators Ne-Yo, StarGate, and C. "Tricky" Stewart, as well as Brian Kennedy, Mark Endert, Mike Elizondo, Mark "Spike" Stent and Maroon 5. Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised the sound and production of the newly added material. The album sold 63,000 copies in its first week and helped the original album peak at number seven on the US Billboard 200. The reissue charted in New Zealand and peaked at number four; it was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand. The album was promoted with four singles, including the US number-one hits "Take a Bow" and "Disturbia". To further promote Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded, Rihanna performed songs from the reissue on several television programs and award ceremonies including FNMTV and the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.

  • I am nominating this because I think there was some time before a music-related article appeared on Wikipedia's main page. I think it's nice if the article appears; it was just promoted (there were not major issues with it), also it would be nice if it can appear this period so it will mark the 5 year anniversary of its release. The album was iconic and often compared to albums like Thriller, so according to me it's notable to appear on the main Wikipedia page. Points counting: 4, the date (month June or July) is relevant to the topic, 1 point for myself (I am major contributor on the article) and 2 point because a similar article wasn't on today's page I guess ever (this is a reissue of a studio album). — Tomíca(T2ME)  — Statυs (talk, contribs) 09:31, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
