I know, but Rihanna never had a problem breaking in the American market like Rita is. She wasn't the hottest thing on the block but she was still snatching #1 hits and getting platinum albums. Even Pon De Replay was a #2 hit in the States. Thats why Jay-Z and Def Jam invested so much in her, she was producing hits (Pon De Replay, SOS, Unfaithful - All platinum top 10 hits) w/ little promotion and a small team. Rita is massive in the UK, but the US has been lukewarm towards her and its been over two years at this point.
