"Disturbia"

So we're big fans of Rihanna here at Hot Songs. Her new album, Good Girl Gone Bad, features plenty of great material that has helped her go platinum all over the world.

There's a lot to like about "Disturbia." The song's many layers combine to generate a fantastic song. First of all, it has a great beat. Then there's the "bum, bum, be dum, bum, bum, be dum dum" chant (remember "'ella 'ella 'ella 'eh" worked out great before in "Umbrella"). Finally, Rihanna's voice adds a lot to the fittingly creepy lyrics. With lines like "It's a thief in the night/To come and grab you", you'll wish you stayed at home tonight. Don't watch the video before you go to sleep.

Rihanna's "Disturbia" might just be the 21st century's "Thriller." Well, at least this year's.
