context_page_description: Good Girl Gone Bad: The Remixes is the first remix album by Barbadian singer Rihanna. It was released on January 27, 2009 through Def Jam Recordings. The album contains club remixes of tracks from her third studio album Good Girl Gone Bad and its 2008 re-release, Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded. The songs were remixed by producers and disc jockeys such as Moto Blanco, Tony Moran, Soul Seekerz and Wideboys. The remixes appear in the form of radio edits instead of full-length versions.
  The compilation received generally mixed reviews from music critics; the album was recommended for fans who were awaiting the release of Rihanna's next studio album. Good Girl Gone Bad: The Remixes peaked at number 106 on the Billboard 200 and number four on the Dance/Electronic Albums chart. It was ranked as the 22nd best-selling album of 2009 on the latter chart, and it has sold 49,000 copies in the US to date.
context_section_description: American publication Rap-Up announced on December 21, 2008 that Rihanna would release her first remix album, titled Good Girl Gone Bad: The Remixes, in late-January 2009. The cover art, designed by Ciarra Pardo, and the official release date were revealed two days later. Def Jam Recordings released the album in the United States on January 27, 2009, in CD, digital, and vinyl formats. The set was later released in the United Kingdom on February 9, 2009. The compilation is made up of electronic dance remixes of tracks from Rihanna's third studio album Good Girl Gone Bad and two songs from its 2008 re-release, Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded. All standard edition tracks from the original album were remixed for the compilation, excluding "Lemme Get That", "Rehab" and "Sell Me Candy".
  The remixes were done by producers and disc jockeys Moto Blanco, Jody den Broeder, Paul Emanuel, Seamus Haji, K-Klass, Lindbergh Palace, Tony Moran, Warren Rigg, Soul Seekerz and Wideboys. Soul Seekerz and Wideboys contributed the most remixes, with three tracks each—"Breakin' Dishes", the original album's title song and "Say It" were provided by Soul Seekerz, while Wideboys remixed  "Shut Up and Drive", "Question Existing", and "Don't Stop the Music". On the back cover, however, the Wideboys remix of "Don't Stop the Music" is mistakenly credited to Jody den Broeder. A Broeder remix of the track was released, but was not included on the album. The track listing is a reworked version of the bonus disc from the European deluxe edition of Good Girl Gone Bad. However, Good Girl Gone Bad: The Remixes excludes the remixes of the A Girl like Me single "SOS" and the Good Girl Gone Bad bonus tracks "Cry" and "Haunted", in favor of remixes of the new Reloaded tracks "Disturbia" and "Take a Bow". Additionally, a Lindberg Palace remix of "Umbrella" was added. While the original album's bonus disc includes the full-length remixes, Good Girl Gone Bad: The Remixes includes only radio edits, which cut the original versions by three to four minutes.
