Rihanna’s legacy continues to shine brighter than ever as she achieves yet another historic milestone in her illustrious career.
The Barbadian singer has secured two prestigious certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA): Most Diamond Singles for a Female Artist and Most Diamond Certified Titles for a Female Artist.
These accolades are particularly remarkable considering that Rihanna, a nine-time Grammy winner, has not released a studio album in nearly eight years, with her last album, Anti, dropping in 2016.
Among the songs that have earned Diamond certifications are some of Rihanna’s most iconic hits, including “Work” featuring Drake, “Needed Me,” “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z, “Stay” featuring Mikky Ekko, “We Found Love” with Calvin Harris, “Love the Way You Lie” with Eminem, and the aptly titled “Diamonds.”
Responding to her latest achievements with characteristic flair, Rihanna took to X on Friday, May 31, to share her RIAA Diamond certifications, simply stating, “ain’t no back n forth.”
Additionally, Rihanna’s catalog boasts several new multi-platinum certifications, with tracks such as “Sex With Me,” the Ne-Yo-assisted “Hate That I Love You,” “S&M,” “FourFiveSeconds” with Kanye West and Paul McCartney, “Loud,” “Shut Up and Drive,” “Bitch Better Have My Money,” and “Cockiness (Love It)” also receiving recognition.
