R&B star Rihanna will kick off an international campaign for her latest record Rated R with a whirlwind chatfest in Australia this month.
The Daily Telegraph reports the Barbados-born beauty will see little but the inside of hotel rooms after arriving in Sydney for three days of promotion from Valentine's Day.
The statuesque singer has enjoyed huge support from her fans in the 12 months since former boyfriend Chris Brown assaulted her.
In just three months, both Rated R and its first single Russian Roulette have been certified gold in Australia, selling more than 35,000 copies.
Rihanna has also become highly sought after by her peers for collaborations and collected a Grammy with mentor Jay-Z and Kanye West for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for the song Run This Town.
Rihanna last visited Sydney in November 2008 when she toured with Brown.
