Rihanna S&M vs Chris Brown Yea 3x Statue Beats Remix

Yeah 3x" is a song by American recording artist Chris Brown, taken from his upcoming fourth studio album, F.A.M.E.. It was released as the lead single from the album on October 25, 2010. The uptempo dance-pop song was written by Chris Brown, DJ Frank E, Kevin McCall and Amber "SeVen" Streeter, with DJ Frank E also responsible for the song's production. Brown recorded "Yeah 3x" for his pop audience, because he felt he had been doing a lot of mix-tapes and urban records.

Critics praised the song for its club feel, and with some noting its similarities to Brown's 2008 single "Forever". An accompanying music video, directed by Colin Tilley showcases Brown in various dance sequences in a neighbourhood, and also features cameo appearances from Teyana Taylor, Kevin McCall and hip hop duo Future Funk, from the fifth season of America's Got Talent. Critics praised the video for being "fun", "kid-friendly" and for showcasing Brown's dancing talent. It was compared to Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" video clip (1987), and Janet Jackson's "Alright" video clip (1990).

Aside from amassing one million digital sales, "Yeah 3x" peaked at number fifteen on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number twelve in Canada. Internationally, the single topped the New Zealand Singles Chart, and certified platinum there by the RIANZ. Additionally, it has charted in the top ten in countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, where it certified triple platinum by the ARIA.

S&M" is a song by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, taken from her fifth studio album, Loud (2010). It was released as the fourth official single from the album on January 21, 2011, through Def Jam Recordings. It was written by Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Sandy Wilhelm and Ester Dean, and produced by Stargate and Sandy Vee. Musically, the song derives genres from eurodance, electro and dance-pop. The lyrics of the song sees Rihanna declaring her pleasures.

"S&M" received generally mixed reviews from most of the critics. The song has charted successfully peaking within the top ten in twelve countries so far, including Australia where it reached the pole position for two consecutive weeks before dropping at number two, New Zealand at number two, United States at number seven and number six in the United Kingdom. It also reached number three in Ireland and number two on the UK R&B Singles Chart. The accompanying music video for "S&M", directed by Melina Matsoukas, shows Rihanna punishing the members of the media who have hurt her, including gossip blogger Perez Hilton. The music was banned in several countries, while being restricted to nightime TV-only in others. Additionally in the UK, "S&M" was deemed too raunchy for daytime airplay and has hence been re-edited and re-named "S&M (Come On)". Rihanna performed the song on the BRIT Awards, in 2011.
