What were we expecting? A warm jumper and a pair of gloves. OF COURSE Rihanna was going to be topless on the cover of her new album, it's practically in the job description for her now.

The Barbadian superstar has today revealed the artwork for her new album (her seventh), Unapologetic, and it's really rather eye catching. The singer is seen with her breasts out and right arm in the air on her new album - what on earth is she going to do for album number eight? We dread to think...

Nudity and pop music go hand in hand however, and professional breast-flasher Rihanna is just one in a long, long line of stars who have gone naked on their album covers. Only a few months ago we spent many a long hour staring at Natasha Khan stark naked on the front cover of the new Bat For Lashes album, The Haunted Man. Purely for research purposes, you understand.

So, in celebration of Rihanna, and indeed her breasts, check out some of the most memorable naked album artwork of all time.
