Music of the Sun, Rihanna’s debut album, skyrocketed in the top ten of the Billboard 200, on which Rihanna came off like Beyonce with a deeper voice and Caribbean accent. The album’s success was propelled by the dancehall-fueled “Pon de Replay” (Number Two, 2005) and, to a lesser degree, “If It’s Lovin’ That You Want” (Number 36, 2005).
