Rihanna hasn’t dropped a project in a minute but that’s not stopping her legacy, if you ask Billboard. The ANTI diva just earned the prestigious #2 spot on Billboard’s Top 100 Women Artists of the 21st Century. Trailing only Taylor Swift, the Barbadian superstar has proven her unparalleled influence across music, fashion, and culture, cementing her status as a global icon.
Taylor. That part.
Ae you know, Rihanna’s musical journey is a testament to her versatility, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit as the Fenti honcho. With a career spanning over a decade, she has consistently pushed boundaries, delivering chart-topping hits across multiple genres. From the raw emotion of Rated R (2009) to the infectious energy of Loud (2010), her ability to reinvent herself has kept fans captivated. Tracks like Only Girl (In the World) and What’s My Name? have become timeless anthems, showcasing her mastery of both pop and R&B.
Her outright dominance on the charts is nothing short of extraordinary. Rihanna holds the record for the most #1 singles by a female artist on the Billboard Hot 100, with an impressive 14 tracks reaching the top spot. Global hits like We Found Love, Diamonds, and Work have not only defined eras but also solidified her reputation as a hitmaker. Additionally, her seven U.S. Diamond-certified singles highlight her position as one of the best-selling female artists of all time.
Outside of music, as mentioned, Rihanna has expanded her influence into fashion and beauty, building successful empires with Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty.
And business is a booming.
Her ability to seamlessly transition between industries while maintaining her authenticity has made her a trailblazer and a role model for aspiring artists and entrepreneurs alike.
