Rihanna has once again boldly cemented her status as a powerhouse in the music industry by setting the record for the most Diamond-certified releases, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
She received new Diamond certifications for her hits “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z, “Work” featuring Drake, “Needed Me,” and “Stay.” This brings her diamond record count to seven. Her hits “Diamonds” and “We Found Love” achieved diamond status in April. In May 2013, her song “Love the Way You Lie,” which features Eminem, also earned a diamond plaque.
Rihanna, who was previously tied with other female megastars at three Diamond-certified releases, reacted to her record-breaking seventh on social media by declaring “Ain’t no back n forth.”
Confidently, she suggested that she now outshines her peers, with everyone else in her rearview mirror, according to TMZ.
Rihanna fans celebrated her latest achievement online but used the occasion to remind her that they are eagerly awaiting a new album, as her last release was 2016’s “Anti.” Despite the wait, they acknowledge that her music remains timeless and continues to resonate.
Rihanna’s 2016 album “Anti” has remained on the Billboard 200 since its release, similar to her hit “Needed Me.”
Congratulations to Rihanna.
