she has the hits and should she include the duets she's done with the rappers if she does ever release a greatest hits album.

I think she should wait just one more album personally. Then she should have enough hits for a double CD package.

I want her to wait until her career is over. It'd be annoying if she released one now and then went on to have loads of other hits.

I think she should do one more album late 2012/early 2013, release a Greatest Hits late 2013 and then take some time off.

I say this November, in time for Christmas. Call it "Rihanna: Greatest Hits, Vol. 1", and release three versions:

1. Standard Edition - 1 disk of the most successful singles and 2 new tracks (around 20 tracks in all)
2. Deluxe Edition - 2-disk set, all the singles and major features, 3 new tracks, Breaking Dishes and extended Birthday Cake (around 40 tracks in all)
3. Fan Edition - basically for the die-hard fans. Each single will be individually packaged, like the Britney Spears collection.

But if she releases another album before a Greatest Hits, I think they'll have to scrap a 1-disk release, and just release a 2-disk set as standard.

I think that's quite a good idea.

To release a greatest hits album your hits have to be great in the first place.

There are hundreds of artists and bands who have released greatest hits albums, yet only had one or two actual hits.

Rihanna had at least 26 unquestionable hits.

WOuld be like my Ex....premature! :/

No seriously, I mean she has done a lot in 7 years....but it will seem very cash in right now.

I mean when Madonna released The Immaculate COllection, it was 5 albums, and a couple soundtracks and an immense catalogue already BUT hits were also left off because it was already so eclect.

However a "greatest hits" has to be the all time bestest hits of her career (not a word but im usin it!) She needs to release more of TTT and have another album and then may be the time where she can narrow it all down a bit.

I mean P!nk needed over a decade to sort one out!

I get peoples opinions but Rihanna has released what most would in 10 years and could have a selective standard and a deluxe complete by this year in November and then take a very long break and come back with better material than she has released since 2010

Hang on a second, are we talking about a greatest hits, or a single collection here? There is a difference, and both self explanatory.

It wouldn't make sense because the albums have been released so close together than people would already have them. It's not like there's a noticeable gap between albums.

Well there are only like 3 memorable 'hits' between her first two albums so I doubt it'd be that hard.

My money's on something pretty similar to this:

1. Pon De Replay
2. SOS
3. Unfaithful
4. Break It Off
5. Umbrella
6. Shut Up And Drive
7. Don't Stop The Music
8. Take A Bow
9. Disturbia
10. Russian Roulette
11. Rude Boy
12. Only Girl (In The World)
13. What's My Name?
14. S&M
15. Cheers (Drink To That)
16. We Found Love
17. Talk That Talk
18. Where Have You Been?
19. New Single 1
20. New Single 2

The 2-disk would obviously just be a singles collection.

I don't think anyone should do a Greatest Hits before being around for 10 years at least.

Pon De Replay
If It's Lovin' That You Want (Maybe)
Let Me (Maybe)
SOS
Unfaithful
We Ride (Maybe)
Umbrella
Don't Stop The Music
Breakin' Dishes (Maybe)
Shut Up and Drive
Rehab (Maybe)
Disturbia
Take A Bow
If I Never See Your Face Again (Maybe)
Russian Roulette
Rude Boy
Hard (Maybe)
Te Amo (Maybe)
S&M
What's My Name
Cheers (Maybe)
Only Girl
California King Bed
We Found Love

PLUS Then the Collaboration:

Love The Way You Lie

Who's That Chick
Take Care

She has too many hits!
