Exclusively?[edit]

In what way was the act of remixing exclusive? Sounds like promotional hyperbole of no real meaning. He didn't remix those tracks for any other album? Only Chew Fu remixed them?

No reply in 4 days: repeating removal. Kevin McE (talk) 18:31, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the word. Stop removing it. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 19:09, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

The majority of the remixes were remastered and draw influence from the genre of house music, and incorporate heavy usage... Two "and"s in a sentence. Replace one with a comma.
Rated R: Remixed had sold...' --> Rated R: Remixed has sold...
Following the release and success of Rated R (2009) and its singles "Russian Roulette", "Hard" and "Rude Boy", it was confirmed on April 14, 2010, by Def Jam Recordings that Rihanna was going to release her second remix album entitled Rated R: Remixed;[1] the singer's first remix album was Good Girl Gone Bad: The Remixes in January 2009. Separate the sentence after the album title and remove the comma before "by Def Jam Recordings".
There is supposed to be a comma after the year. Aaron • ^{You Da One}
The project was announced as something for fans to bridge the gap whilst Rihanna embarked on the Last Girl on Earth Tour (2010–11) and her fifth studio album, Loud, for which recording sessions had already begun. --> The project was announced as something for fans to bridge the gap while Rihanna was still on the Last Girl on Earth Tour (2010–11) and her fifth studio album, Loud, was not yet released.
... had also been changed to a --> ... was also changed to a
... and awarded it 2.5 stars. Out of what?
I found another review to put in the article. Just one review seems too little. Change the lead with this too.
I've seen that one and he is not reviewing the remix album. Look at the release date he states in the side bar, it say Nov 2009. That's when Rated R was released. That review is talking about the original album. Aaron • ^{You Da One}
linear notes I think you mean liner notes.
Article lacks a personnel section; without it, it is technically still Start class. Here's a source.

Otherwise, this is a short yet comprehensive article. I will pass the article once the above problems have been addressed. What a pro (talk, contribs) is on fire. 06:46, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done all. Thanks.

Passing the article, then. What a pro (talk, contribs) is on fire. 11:59, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
