Rihanna In Playboy Bunny Mood In 'S&M' Video Shoot

Rihanna is coming out in her new naughty image again in the new 'S&M' video. Three pictures from the video have been released and RiRi is in the Playboy Bunny mood. The singer's official website has posted them. 'S&M' is the latest video that will be in the offering from the album 'Loud'.

In one of the pictures, the red haired singer is seen with a yellow colored bunny ears and tiny white outfit, reclining against the wall that has been flooded with tabloid headlines via a projector. The other one is almost similar to the first picture with only Rihanna sitting in a different position.

The third official picture from the ‘S&M’ video shows the Rated R singer is wearing a pink tight latex suit and teamed it up with her curly hair. In the photo she is sitting on a table and is being surrounded by the nosey people of the press.

Melina Matsoukas is directing the ‘S&M’ video, and already Loud is doing pretty well in Canada and Swiss Album chart. The album debuted in the number one slot and in US Billboard 200, it was positioned at number 3. The sales of the copies on the first week of the album Loud has given Rihanna, the highest sales rate so far. 2010 has been good for the singer after ruling the charts of UK with the duet with Eminem ‘Love The Way You Lie.’

Rihanna claims fifth UK No. 1 single

Rihanna has notched up the fifth UK number one single of her career with 'What's My Name?'

The Barbadian singer has become the first female artist in history to achieve five number ones in consecutive years, starting with mammoth hit 'Umbrella' in 2007. The only other performer to have achieved this feat is the legendary Elvis Presley, who scored a number one in every year from 1957 to 1963.

Rihanna's success means that Matt Cardle dips to the runner-up spot this week with 'When We Collide', having successfully managed to hold his X Factor duet partner from the top of the chart for the last three weeks.

Katy B and Miss Dynamite yo-yo back from last week's 11 to their original position of four with 'Lights On', while Jessie J celebrates being named as the BBC's Sound Of 2011 by seeing her track 'Do It Like A Dude' rocket into the top ten for the first time, landing at five from 18.

Meanwhile, Rihanna continues her chart dominance as previous number one 'Only Girl (In The World)' and her David Guetta collaboration 'Who's That Chick?' hold steady at the back end of the top ten.

Looking beyond the upper section of the chart, Willow Smith's 'Whip My Hair' and Take That's 'The Flood' slip out of the top ten after losing four and seven places respectively to finish at 13 and 14.

The depths of the top 20, however, are this week home to three climbers in the form of 'The Flood' by Cheryl Cole, which is up 12 to 18, 'Raise Your Glass' by Pink, which rises from 21 to 19, and Alexis Jordan's 'Happiness', up four places to 20.

The top ten in full:

1. (2) Rihanna ft. Drake: 'What's My Name?'
2. (1) Matt Cardle: 'When We Collide'
3. (3) Black Eyed Peas: 'The Time (Dirty Bit)'
4. (11) Katy B ft. Miss Dynamite: 'Lights On'
5. (18) Jessie J: 'Do It Like A Dude'
6. (4) Ellie Goulding: 'Your Song'
7. (5) Katy Perry: 'Firework'
8. (8) Far East Movement: 'Like A G6'
9. (6) Rihanna: 'Only Girl (In The World)'
