Among these certified hits are:
“Umbrella” (featuring Jay-Z): This track, released in 2007, became an anthem and solidified Rihanna’s status as a global superstar.
“Work” (featuring Drake): Released in 2016 as part of her “Anti” album, this song showcased Rihanna’s versatility and ability to create chart-topping hits across different genres.
“Needed Me”: Another gem from the “Anti” album, this track has resonated with fans for its raw emotion and powerful message.
“Stay”: A heartfelt ballad that continues to captivate listeners, demonstrating Rihanna’s vocal prowess and emotional depth.
These Diamond awards clearly show just how huge and lasting Rihanna’s music is. She’s still got a big impact even when sis isn’t making any new songs.
Rihanna’s last album, Anti, dropped in 2016 and timelessly showcases her amazing talent. It remained on the Billboard 200 since then, cementing its status as a classic. Songs like “Love on the Brain,” “Kiss It Better,” and “Consideration” are still big hits with fans, both old and new.
