Rihanna “Rih -Issues’ All Eight Of Her Albums On Vinyl

It’s been five years since Rihanna released any music, but on Nov 5th she just announced that she has music coming out. She’ll be releasing“Rih-Issue” of all eight of her albums in vinyl format. She posted a 70s inspired photo of her lying face-down on the floor filled with her vinyl albums on Instagram, with the captioned ‘Today’s kids will never know what vinyl is,’ they said! #TheRIHissue shoprihanna.com” Rihanna also uploaded a quick minute-long video of all the new record colors — yellow, light blue, clear, black, green, pink, and red — while a mashup of her greatest-hits played in the background.

Each vinyl record is priced differently, but they range from $100 to $140 dollars and come packaged with a newly-designed shirt or sweatshirt depending on the album. Though pre-sale begins today, the orders will not ship until November 11th.

The last time Rihanna released a collection of her albums was way back in 2016 when she dropped the Studio Album Vinyl Box. That project collected all eight of Rihanna’s albums in a sumptuous 15LP box set – five of which had never been made available on vinyl before, and all but one pressed on double-vinyl.

Last year, Rihanna said she started recording new music and held “tons of writing camps.” She even hinted at a possible collaboration with the City Girls. However, no official release date has been announced for the project. Rihanna is #14 on Brandwatch’s list of the 50 Most Influential People On Twitter in 2021. She gained +12 positions from 2020.The list is based on the level of genuine engagement the accounts are creating. She also remains highest-certified female artist in RIAA history with 151.5M certified song units.
