"Don't Stop the Music" is a song recorded by Barbadian singer

StarGate. Michael Jackson also received a songwriting credit for the sampling of the line "Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-koosa" from Jackson's 1983 single "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'". Both Rihanna and Jackson were sued by Cameroonian musician Manu Dibango, who asserted that the hook originated in his 1972 song "Soul Makossa".

Development and release

Manu Dibango sued Rihanna and Jackson for using his "Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa" line without permission.

"Don't Stop the Music" was written and produced by the Norwegian production duo

mixed the single, and StarGate provided vocal production and instrumentation.[3]

In February 2009, Cameroonian musician

Warner Music to be "barred from receiving 'mama-say mama-sa'-related income until the matter is resolved".[5] The judge ruled that Dibango's claim was inadmissible: a year earlier, a different Paris-area judge had required Universal Music to include Dibango's name in the liner notes of future French releases of "Don't Stop the Music", and at the time of this earlier court appearance, Dibango had withdrawn legal action, thereby waiving his moral right to seek further damages.[6][7]

"Don't Stop the Music" was the fourth single from Rihanna's third album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007). Before its release, two promotional remixes of the song (Solitaire's More Drama and the Wideboys Club Mix) were added to digital outlets in Canada and the United States on August 7, 2007.[8][9] On September 7, an EP of the single was released via the iTunes Store in some countries including Australia, Italy, New Zealand and Spain. The EP contains the Wideboys Club Mix and instrumental and album versions of the song.[10] That day, "Don't Stop the Music" was released as a CD single in Germany with the same material as the EP and the song's music video.[11] The following month, it was released as a CD single in France.[12] Def Jam Recordings provided the song to contemporary hit radio stations in the United States on January 15, 2008, and to rhythmic contemporary stations a week later.[13] Nine remixes, including the album version of the song, were released on May 14 to digital outlets in territories including Australia, Germany, New Zealand and Spain.[14]

Madonna's "La Isla Bonita", and the base track to Eric Prydz-style trance music.[19] After the release of Rihanna's single "Only Girl (In the World)" in 2010, many critics compared its composition and structure to "Don't Stop the Music".[20][21][22]

Critical reception

"Don't Stop the Music" was praised for incorporating the hook from Michael Jackson's single, "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'".

Music journalists praised the sampling of the "Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa" hook. For

Pitchfork Media's Tom Breihan—who characterized "Don't Stop the Music" as "an amazing bit of euroclub insanity combined with synth and bass"—the hook from Jackson's track smoothly blends into the song's powerful beat.[23] Nick Levine of Digital Spy called "Don't Stop the Music" "brilliant and unwitting",[24] and said that it was the best single with a Jackson writing credit since his 1997 "Blood on the Dance Floor".[24] PopMatters' Quentin B. Huff wrote that "the Michael Jackson-sampling 'Don't Stop the Music', inspires the type of tail feather shaking you can only produce when you're chanting, 'Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa'".[25]

McAlpine called Rihanna's vocals "emotionally removed, a little distant and naughty, but a smidge melancholy and tearful".[19] According to a New York Times reviewer, in "Don't Stop the Music" Rihanna "[found] exuberance in a ... severe techno beat".[26] In 2012, Billboard ranked the song 13th on its list of "Rihanna's 20 Biggest Billboard Hits" of all time; they wrote, "we defy you to get the hook from this pounding 2007 dancefloor favorite out of your mind."[27]

"Don't Stop the Music" won the Best International Song award at the

Complex called the single "one of the earliest shots fired in the mainstreaming of dance music" compared with typical 2007 top-forty fare.[35]

Commercial performance

"Don't Stop the Music" debuted at number 94 on the US

Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart.[39] "Don't Stop the Music" had sold 3.7 million digital copies in the US as of June 2015 and was certified six-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in May 2022.[40][41] The song reached number two on the Canadian Hot 100, remaining on the chart for a total of 52 weeks. It was Rihanna's second song to reach the chart's top three, following "Umbrella".[42]

In Australia, "Don't Stop the Music" debuted at number 22 on February 3, 2008.

Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ) in April 2008 for sales of over 15,000 digital copies.[47]

In the United Kingdom, the song debuted at number 68 on December 15, 2007.

Swiss Singles Chart, peaking at number one for five weeks.[55] The song reached number one in Austria,[56] Flanders and Wallonia in Belgium,[57][58] Hungary[59] and the Netherlands.[60]

Music video

The song's music video was directed by Rihanna's regular director, Anthony Mandler,[61] and filmed in a nightclub in Prague, the Czech Republic.[62] The video was digitally released on iTunes on July 26, 2007.[63] It was uploaded on Rihanna's Vevo channel on YouTube on November 21, 2009.[64]

In the video, Rihanna and two friends get out of a yellow taxi in Bělehradská 120, Prague to go at a nightclub and they enter a candy store where a boy is standing with his mother. Rihanna tells the boy not to tell anyone where they are going, and the singer and her friends sneak into the back of the store (where there is a secret nightclub entrance). The narrative is intercut with Rihanna singing the song against a wall and dancing in the club. After she enters the club, she checks her makeup in a restroom as she sings.

Rihanna returns to the dance floor for the chorus, dancing and singing with her friends. Her fellow club-goers clap along with the sample from "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'". VH1's Christopher Rosa ranked the video 18th on his list of Rihanna's 20 sexiest videos: "This dance-by-numbers song gets a facelift with its brisk, energetic video featuring R as the undisputed queen of the clubs".[65]
