Rihanna - Diamonds

Well it's not just Psy's Gangnam Style that's getting alot of hits lately, you know, lol.






The first single from Rihanna's seventh album is a departure from the singer's recurring theme of an unhealthy relationship, as the Barbadian songstress croons of a bright love. "Find light in the beautiful sea. I choose to be happy. You and I, you and I. We're like diamonds in the sky," she sings. When asked about the mood of the song following her performance at the iHeartRadio festival in Las Vegas, Rihanna replied, "You're not sad. You're happy and hippie. It's hopeful. It gives me a great feeling when I listen to it. The lyrics are hopeful and positive. It's about love and the gears are different than what people will expect."

The song was premiered on September 26, 2012 during Elvis Duran and the Morning Show and was made available for digital download an hour later.

More Facts:

• Rihanna performed the song for the first time on television during the November 10, 2012 episode of Saturday Night Live.
• "Diamonds" was Rihanna's twelfth #1 on the Hot 100, placing her in second place with Madonna and The Supremes as the female acts with the most chart-toppers. (Mariah Carey had reached the summit 18 times when this reached the peak position).
