I'm clueless about Rihanna's official third single, but it's pretty much a fact that having a music video does not always mean the song is a single. I think "Don't Stop the Music" has a video, but...I check Mediabase and since when was that song in the top 40, let alone anywhere above #100?
3 singles in a span of 4[?] months is still kind of overkill. I respect anybody who can release more than 3 singles as long as the album's been out for at least a year. Rihanna just needs to stop, imo.
-- Waittt i looked it up a little and i gathered some research lmao and at 1st Dont Stop The Music was the 3rd Single but then she just made it a Fun Single just like that. Hate That I Love You was later replaced and made it the 3rd single! Sorry guys i guess i was old on news!
I've been wondering what's going on with Rihanna. She recently released her music video for "Don't Stop the Music" but on the radio I've been hearing "Hate That I Love You" (another song from her album). So, is she releasing two singles at once? It's very confusing.
Thanks,

Hello Zehavi,
"Shut Up and Drive" is the official second single from "Good Girl Gone Bad." The third single is "Hate That I Love You."
The former is targeted to top 40 radio stations, while "Hate That I Love You" (which features Ne-Yo) is aimed at R&B stations. Eventually, once "Shut Up" peaks at top 40 radio, "Hate That I Love You" will be serviced to top 40 stations.
"Don't Stop the Music," while it does have a music video, is earmarked for dance club play and dance radio outlets at this time.
Excuse me as I dip into chart geek territory. Rihanna's "Don't Stop the Music" contains elements of Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'." The Jackson single hit No. 5 on The Billboard Hot 100 in 1983.
