The album Rated R, is the follow up to Rihanna’s platinum-selling 2007 release, Good Girl Gone Bad, which spent a substantial amount of time on the charts. 98 weeks in fact.

Now history will be made on November 16th when Rihanna performs for a global audience via Nokia’s live streamed concert. The concert will officially mark the launch of her much anticipated new album.

Select bloggers will be at the event and will record, broadcast and share elements of the exclusive live concert with fans around the globe.

Rihanna said, “I am so excited to partner up with Nokia. They are doing some really revolutionary things with this album, enabling me to reach more fans than ever before.”
