Rihanna

Rihanna's 14 US #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100—a feat that outperforms Beyoncé's 8 #1 hits and within reach of Whitney Houston's 11 chart-toppers—cement her as one of the most prolific chart artists. She has sold over 250 million records globally, a number 25% higher than the average pop star, and holds 9 Grammy Awards. Her 2023 Super Bowl halftime show drew 120 million viewers, a viewership that is 15% larger than the typical Super Bowl performance. As the best-selling Barbadian artist, she outperforms #7 Beyoncé in digital singles, with 70 million certified digital sales, a 30% lead over the runner-up in that category.
