Rihanna has made several New Year's resolutions that she intends to keep.

The 'Russian Roulette' singer – who had a difficult 2009 after being assaulted by then-boyfriend Chris Brown in February – plans to get rid of as many of her bad habits as possible next year.

She said: 'I want to stop shopping, being late, start waking up early, stuff like that.'

Although her career is going from strength-to-strength, the 21-year-old star has vowed not to let her work get in the way of spending time with her loved ones.

She added: 'I'd like to see my mum and grandparents more. I don't have a lot of girlfriends, but the one I do have is around me all the time.'

Career-wise, the 'Umbrella' hitmaker also has a number of achievements she would like to accomplish in the coming decade.

She explained: 'I want to learn the drums and I want to work with Depeche Mode so bad.'
