After signing with Def Jam Recordings, Rihanna debuted with the Caribbean-inspired records ''Music of the Sun'' (2005) and ''A Girl Like Me'' (2006), both of which reached the top ten of the US ''Billboard'' 200. Their respective lead singles, "Pon de Replay" and "SOS", peaked at numbers two and one on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Adopting a more mature image, Rihanna rose to stardom and transitioned to dance-pop and R&B with her best-selling album ''Good Girl Gone Bad'' (2007) and its reissue, subtitled ''Reloaded'' (2008). The project yielded a string of successful songs, including the US number-one singles "Umbrella", "Take a Bow", and "Disturbia".
