She has become the first female artist to have an astounding 10 songs reach the remarkable benchmark of one billion streams each on the popular streaming platform.
This groundbreaking accomplishment was confirmed by Spotify on July 1, marking a significant moment in music history.
Taking to Instagram, the streaming giant proudly proclaimed, “NOW Slaying: On July 1, Rihanna became the first female artist to have 10 songs reach 1 billion streams in Spotify history.”
The music mogul-slash-fashion icon also posted on her Instagram with the caption “Bad Gal billi… wit no new album… lemme talk my s__t.”
Despite her musical hiatus and focus on motherhood and business empires, Rihanna’s impact on the music world remains unrivaled.
Since her last studio album, the chart-topping Anti released in 2016, fans have eagerly awaited her highly anticipated follow-up.
However, the singer has made sporadic returns to the music scene, offering glimpses of her talent.
Last year, she contributed two songs, “Born Again” and “Lift Me Up,” to the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.
The latter reached the impressive No. 2 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and even earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.
Record Breaking
In addition to her billion-streams club songs on Spotify, including hits like “Diamonds,” “Umbrella” (with Jay-Z), and “Work” (with Drake), Rihanna has achieved success beyond the music charts.
Forbes recently recognized her as the highest-ranking musician on its “Richest Self-Made Women” list, placing her at No. 20 with an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion.
Rihanna’s entrepreneurial prowess has played a significant role in augmenting her wealth.
Her Fenty business empire encompasses diverse ventures, most notably Fenty Beauty, a highly successful cosmetics range known for its inclusive approach to beauty.
Additionally, her Savage X Fenty lingerie line has garnered praise for promoting body positivity and diversity.
