Rihanna revealed on Twitter yesterday that she intends to release her sixth studio album sometime in the next few months. In responding to a question from a fan regarding the due date of her new disc, the singer replied "THIS FALL!!!!," a timetable that has been confirmed by Billboard's inside sources.

Though it is in some way surprising that her label, Def Jam, is willing to release new material while her 2010 record Loud is still yielding chart hits, it should be noted that the singer has put out an album nearly every year since 2005.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
