Numb (Rihanna song)[edit]
- ... that the Rihanna song "Numb" debuted on three US Billboard R&B/Hip-hop charts upon the release of its parent album, Unapologetic, including the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs and R&B Songs charts?

The hook is a bit long and has too much content. Can we work on it to make it a bit flow-er? Also, is it the most interesting thing about the song? Why not using a hook with Eminem on it? I have found this: [1] and this [2]. The latter says: "The song is a little controversial because it’s an ode to feeling “numb” after taking drugs" and "The song bumps along on a slow groove of an Egyptian flute riff, a crashing bombastic beat and a warped sample from Kanye West‘s ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’". So, the song evokes drugs and samples Kanye West's "Can’t Tell Me Nothing". Those are better hooks, I guess. Add such info to the article and run one of those hooks, or even both. That's my recommendation. — ΛΧΣ21™ 04:55, 1 December 2012 (UTC)- ALT1:... that Rihanna and Eminem sampled Kanye West in "Numb", a song that evokes taking drugs?
- ALT2:... that Rihanna and Eminem enjoyed being "Numb" after taking drugs?
