Since signing her record deal with Def Jam in 2005, it goes without saying that Rihanna has had a long list of platinum selling albums and hits. But in a recent interview with MTV, the Barbadian pop megastar admitted that she isn't as big a fan of her hits as her fans are.

"I've made a lot of songs that are just really big songs," the Grammy winner said, "From the jump, they just blow up. And I wanted to just get back to"¦not that they weren't real music, bus I just wanted to focus on the things that felt real, that felt soulful, that felt forever," while promoting her eighth album R8.

"I wanted songs that I could perform in 15 years," added Rihanna. "I wanted an album that I could perform in 15 years"”not any songs that were burnt out. I find that when I get on stage now, I don't want to perform a lot of my songs because they don't feel like me. So I want to make songs that are timeless," she said.

As noted by US Weekly, Riri recently began work on her upcoming studio album, which is her first album since 2012's "Unapologetic." That record, which included such hits as "Stay" and "Pour It Up" was a certified platinum album, and peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

As much as she admittedly doesn't like to, last August while on a quick tour with fellow Grammy award-winning rapper Eminem, Rihanna played a litany of her hits that included 2007's "Umbrella," 2008's "Live Your Life," 2009's "Run This Town," and 2010's "Rude Boy," as reported by US Weekly.

Rihanna's eighth album "R8" features the collaboration between Kanye West and Paul McCartney titled "FourFiveSeconds," which was produced by West. It is still currently without a release date.
