Rihanna Makes History With 200 Million RIAA Certifications

Rihanna is the only girl in the world with this achievement.

The “We Found Love” singer has made history as the first woman to surpass 200 million RIAA singles certifications—despite the fact that she hasn’t released a new album in more than a decade. 

With 200.5 million certified units, she is third on the all-timers list for digital singles, joining a small circle of artists who have cracked 200 million. She places behind Drake, who has 277.5 million, and Morgan Wallen, who has 215 million. 

Although she’s dropped a few features and soundtrack singles in recent years, the 38-year-old’s last full-length project Anti debuted in January 2016. 

However, she has teased her return to music numerous times, most recently posting a brief clip of herself in the studio to Instagram on Feb. 26.

Indeed, Rihanna previously shared an update on her much-anticipated ninth studio album, revealing that she “cracked the code” on what she wants to do next.
