With the global album release of Loud in November 2010, Rihanna
continues her journey to dominate popular music and fashion worldwide.
Loud’s first two singles, “What’s My Name” (featuring Drake) and “Only
Girl (In the World),” were worldwide successes, both solid #1
chart-toppers in the U.S. and UK. “What’s My Name,” “Only Girl (In the
World)” and “S&M” became Rihanna’s 8th, 9th, and 10th #1 Billboard
Hot 100 hits, respectively. Rihanna now ranks as the only female artist
of the past decade to chart ten #1’s on the Hot 100 as well as the
youngest soloist to notch ten Hot 100 #1’s.
In the U.S., Loud debuted with the greatest first week sales of any
Rihanna album to date, over 207,000 copies, earning RIAA platinum status
by January. Loud sold over 6.2 million copies worldwide and hit #1 in
six international territories – bringing Rihanna’s total album sales to
more than 30 million. She has also logged a phenomenal 100 million
digital song sales, a number that is still growing every day.
From her Caribbean roots to the top of the charts, the runways of
Paris and Milan and some of the biggest stages in the world, the
23-year-old, Barbados-born beauty has already earned the coveted title
of international superstar. In 2005, Def Jam released Rihanna's dynamic
debut album, Music of the Sun, which garnered much attention due to the
popularity of her highly addictive dancehall-flavored first single, “Pon
de Replay.” A year later, she released her platinum-selling second
album A Girl Like Me, featuring the #1 singles “SOS” and “Unfaithful.”
From her breakthrough multi-platinum album A Girl Like Me to her
ubiquitous global smash “Umbrella,” in just a few short years, Rihanna
helped redefine the path of popular music for a new generation.
With two successful albums under her belt in just two years, Rihanna
dropped her third album, the multi-platinum Good Girl Gone Bad, in 2007.
Rated R was released worldwide in November 2009 and the first single,
“Russian Roulette” made chart history for Rihanna – as her 12thBillboard
Hot 100 career hit. The next single, “Rude Boy” (the fifth
multi-platinum certified song of Rihanna’s career) hit #1 on a slew of
charts – including Billboard’s Hot 100 and Hot 100 Airplay, and
MediaBase’s Pop, Hot Dance Radio, Hot Dance Clubs, Rhythm, and Urban
charts.
Rihanna's extensive accomplishments also include multiple #1 hits, a
Grammy for Best Dance Recording for “Only Girl (In The World), ” a
Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Run This Town" and a Grammy
for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Umbrella" along with fourteen
Grammy nominations, two MTV Video Music Awards, Favorite Pop/Rock &
Soul/R&B Female Artist at the American Music Awards, and the
European MOBO Award as Best International Act. In all, Rihanna is the
recipient of three Grammy Awards, four American Music and World Music
and BET Awards, five People’s Choice and Teen Choice Awards, MTV VMAs
from every region, a BRIT Award for Best International Female Artist in
2011 and an amazing 18 Billboard Music Awards. Rihanna's impressive
discography and a growing collection of the music industry's most
cherished awards have proven that this is only the beginning. With her
beauty, fashion and business sense to match, the Island girl turned
international superstar will continue to rock the world for years to
come. The journey continues!
