"Don't Stop the Music" is a song by Barbadian singer Rihanna from her third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007). It was the third single from the album in most of Europe, and the fourth single in the rest of the world. On December 6, 2007, "Don't Stop the Music" received a Grammy nomination in the category of "Best Dance Recording" at the 50th Grammy Awards.

The single "Hate That I Love You" was the third single in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. "Don't Stop the Music" was released as the fourth single, opposite to the rest of Europe.

single release...

The song was originally intended to be the third main U.S. single from Good Girl Gone Bad, but "Hate That I Love You" was suddenly chosen as a replacement for the song as the third main single from Good Girl Gone Bad,[4] while "Don't Stop the Music" was instead earmarked only for dance club play and dance radio outlets in the U.S. and released in several European countries as the third single. Following "Hate That I Love You"'s release, "Breakin' Dishes" was then planned to follow as the fourth single in the U.S. from the album. However, a sudden resurgence on Top 40 radio stations and in digital downloads of the song, led to the song charting and climbing to number twenty-six on the Billboard Hot 100, before Def Jam had yet engaged in any American promotion for a single release. Perhaps in response, it was released in the U.S. as the fourth main single from the album on January 15, 2008. Following its official U.S. release, the song has achieved top five success in the United States. It has become Rihanna's third top ten single from Good Girl Gone Bad, her second top five hit from the album, and her fourth top five hit since her debut single Pon De Replay. It is also a top ten success in over twenty other countries, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Greece, New Zealand, and Canada. It has reached number one in Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, The Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland Spain,

"Don't Stop the Music" has achieved considerable success in several European countries. It reached a peak of number one in Austria, Belgium, France (where it was the artist's first number one single), Germany, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Switzerland and on the Euro Billboard Chart, which is a composite of the different European markets. In Italy, it is Rihanna's highest charting song to date, having reached number two. It has also reached number nine in Ireland, despite not being released there until February 2008. In addition, it has been successful in Canada, where it has reached number two on the Canadian Hot 100, becoming her second top five single from Good Girl Gone Bad.

Although at the time it had not been released as a promotional single in the U.S., it did reach number one on the U.S. Dance Club Play chart. Several weeks after its peak atop the Billboard Dance Airplay chart, the single began to see a resurgence on radio, particularly on Top 40 stations. This lead to the song debuting at number eight on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. The following week, the song jumped fourteen spots to officially debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, despite the fact that a single release in the U.S. for the song had still not yet been announced. Furthermore, the song's fast-rising airplay has propelled its popularity, leading to a surge of digital downloads on iTunes from the digital album. Total downloads to date for "Don't Stop The Music" stand at 549,000. The song, which entered the iTunes Top 100 Songs chart at number ninety-five on December 7, 2007 has climbed to number two as of January 21, 2008. This digital component has further helped the song on the Hot 100, where it has so far reached number five, becoming her seventh top ten and fourth top five single in the United States. The song was finally officially released in the U.S. on January 15, 2008.[6]

On 30 December 2007, the song entered the UK Singles Chart based upon digital sales alone and has peaked at number four so far.

"Don't Stop the Music" will be officially released in the UK on February 4, 2008 and is receiving heavy airplay across the country at the moment.
