In my opinion, though, the more boring a pop girl song is, the more likely it is to be a smash. Just saying.

I don't think Diamonds is "radio candy" maybe they will gave her extra play on the radio just cuz she's Rihanna but I think the song is not nearly as safe as S&M, Only Girl, We Found Love, Disturbia, Where Have You Been..
Let's not forget "Take A Bow" hit #1 on the Hot 100 and Top 40 radio so yeah her catalog of hits is kinda impressive/diverse, from reggae, to r&B, to electro-pop, to dance-hall, to urban songs, etc
What's My Name?, Rude Boy, Russian Roulette, Hard, Pon De Replay for example have infusions from various genres, very different from each other.
I think Rihanna has had a #1 in most genres now
