Released in November 2009, Rihanna’s fourth studio album Rated R debuted atop the Billboard R&B Albums chart at #1 and was the biggest first-week Soundscan tally of Rihanna’s career. The eagerly anticipated album arrived to a chorus of acclaim from critics and fans alike. Rolling Stone raved that it is “one of the best Pop records of the year.” The Chicago Sun Times called it “by far the best, most layered and most heartfelt effort of the 21-year-old artist’s career.” In its year-end recap, Entertainment Weekly named Rated R the “Pop Album of the Year.”
Ke$ha’s breakthrough came in early 2009 after an uncredited appearance on Flo Rida’s #1 single “Right Round.”  Her debut single, “Tik Tok,” was released in August 2009 to much commercial success. It reached #1 in eleven countries and set the weekly records for the most digital downloads of a female artist and of the total Top 40 Mainstream airplay records in the U.S.  The song also became the longest running #1 debut single by a female artist since 1977. Her debut album, Animal, was released in early 2010 and debuted at #1 in the U.S.
Mohegan Sun Arena is ranked the 4th best venue by Billboard Magazine and was the 2008 recipient of a Country Music Award for “Casino of The Year.” For more information on concerts and other great events at Mohegan Sun, visit mohegansun.com.  For information on this week’s schedule, call the Entertainment and Special Events hotline at 1.888.226.7711, ext. 27163.
