Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded is a reissue of Barbadian recording artist
Rihanna's third studio album Good Girl Gone Bad (2007). Released to mark
the first anniversary of the original album, the album features three
newly recorded songs and a DVD showing exclusive behind-the-scenes
footage of her Good Girl Gone Bad Tour (2007–09). For the new
material, she worked with past collaborators Ne-Yo, StarGate, and C.
"Tricky" Stewart, as well as Brian Kennedy, Mark Endert, Mike Elizondo,
Mark "Spike" Stent and Maroon 5. Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded received
generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised the sound and
production of the newly added material. Other critics felt that the
album was not worthy for re-release with only three new songs. The album
sold 63,000 copies in its first week and helped the original album peak
at number seven on the US Billboard 200. The reissue charted in New
Zealand, peaking at number four. The album was promoted with four
singles, including the US number-one hits "Take a Bow" and
"Disturbia".
Rihanna also performed songs from the reissue on several television
programs and award ceremonies including FNMTV and the 2008 MTV Video
Music Awards.
