"Diamonds" is a song by recording artist Rihanna,
released as the lead single from her seventh studio album Unapologetic
(2012). It was written by Sia Furler, Benjamin "Benny Blanco" Levin,
Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen. The song was produced by Blanco, as
well as Eriksen and Hermansen, under their production name StarGate.
"Diamonds" premiered on September 26, 2012, during the Elvis Duran
and the Morning Show and was released for a digital download the following
day. Def Jam Recordings serviced the single to contemporary hit radio in the
United States on October 2. Musically, "Diamonds" is a mid-tempo pop ballad
with influences of electronic and soul music. The single is a departure from
the theme of "unhealthy relationships" that are evident in several of
Rihanna's previous singles.Critics were divided on "Diamonds"; some
complimented Rihanna's different musical direction, however, others criticized
its production. "Diamonds" has reached number one in sixteen
countries including Austria, Canada, France, Finland, Germany, Norway, and the
United Kingdom and attained top ten positions in over thirty countries. It also
topped the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Rihanna's twelfth number one
single on the chart, thus tying her with Madonna and The Supremes for the
fifth-most number ones in the chart's history. In addition,
"Diamonds" has reached number one on the US Hot Dance Club Songs and Hot
R&B/Hip Hop Songs charts and number four on the US Pop Songs chart.Listen song here:YouTube
