Rihanna Celebrates Two RIAA Recognitions
Rihanna’s star power continues to shine as bright as ever.
In a monumental achievement, the Barbadian songstress has been honored with 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 significant considering that Rihanna hasn’t released a studio album in nearly eight years, with her last offering being Anti in 2016.

Among Rihanna’s tracks that have achieved Diamond status are “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 fittingly titled “Diamonds.”
True to her signature style, Rihanna took to X on Friday (May 31) to share her excitement over the RIAA Diamond certifications, declaring, “ain’t no back n forth.”
Adding to Rihanna’s impressive collection of multi-platinum certifications are hits like “Sex With Me,” the Ne-Yo collaboration “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).”
With these latest achievements under her belt, fans eagerly anticipate more chart-topping success from Rihanna in the future. The multi-talented artist confirmed to Complex last year that she’s actively working on new music, signaling an exciting “era of discovery” for her loyal supporters.
