And more than just a singles artist, Rihanna has continually pushed ahead stylistically with her LPs, highlighted by the bold Good Girl Gone Bad (2007), steely Rated R (2009), and composed Anti (2016), all of which confounded expectations and placed within.
Through 2017, she headlined 11 number one hits, some of which - "Umbrella" and "Only Girl (In the World)" among them - led to her eight Grammy Awards. Mixing and matching pop, dancehall, R&B, EDM, and adult contemporary material, Rihanna has been a near-constant presence in the upper reaches of the pop chart.
Starting with 2007s Good Girl Gone Bad, Rihanna has cleverly played with her image, incorporating BDSM allusions and sexual bravado, and expanding her reggae-tinged dance pop to encompass epic EDM, sultry rock, and undulating hip-hop.
Rihanna established her pop credentials in 2005 with "Pon de Replay," a boisterous debut single that narrowly missed the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and fast-tracked her to becoming one of the most popular, acclaimed, and dynamic artists in postmillennial contemporary music. Since then, the Barbados-born pop innovator has been making us beg for more.
