Robyn Rihanna Fenty (born February 20, 1988), known as Rihanna ,is a Barbadian singer, model and fashion designer. She also serves as the cultural ambassador for the island of Barbados.She is the first Barbadian artist to officially win a Grammy Award (Barbados born producer Jimmy Senya Haynes produced and arranged Babylon The Bandit for the band Steel Pulse, but he was never credited as a member of the band on the winner and nomination lists). Rihanna is currently signed to the Def Jam Recordings label. She has attained five Billboard Hot 100 number ones thus far and is currently tied with fellow singer Beyoncé Knowles as the female solo artist with the most number ones in this decade.
Rihanna broke into the industry in 2005 with the release of her debut album Music of the Sun, which features her hit single "Pon de Replay". Less than a year later, Rihanna released A Girl Like Me and gave her first number-one single, "SOS". In 2007, Rihanna released her third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad. The album has yielded six hit singles including three worldwide number one singles including "Umbrella", "Don't Stop the Music", and "Take a Bow". Since the release of her debut album, Rihanna has amassed twelve top 40 hit singles in the U.S.

*Notable success and accomplishments
Rihanna has five Billboard Hot 100 number ones hits both as a lead artist thus far ("SOS", "Umbrella", "Take a Bow", and "Disturbia"), as well as T.I.'s "Live Your Life", on which she is featured. This places her at a tie with fellow Pop/R&B singer Beyoncé as the female solo artist with the most number ones this decade. The Good Girl Gone Bad album has three Billboard Hot 100 number one singles. She has so far sold approximately 11 million albums worldwide.
Future projects
Rihanna has teamed up with H&M and other celebrities like Timbaland and Good Charlotte for "Fashion against AIDS". The collection is designed to spread awareness about HIV/AIDS. It was released at H&M in early February 2008. She went on the Glow in the Dark Tour with Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, and N.E.R.D.
There are conflicting reports about her next album. MTV.com reported that Rihanna has now gone into the studio to start recording her fourth album. In the near future, Rihanna is scheduled to work with Ryan Tedder who named her as 'The Next Britney'. Rihanna will be a godmother of the eight season of Star Academy France.
On 24th December 2008 in the United Kingdom during an interview with RWD Rihanna stated that she would be back in the recording studio in early 2009 working on her fourth studio album. She also confirmed that the album would definitely be released in 2009.

*Charity work
Rihanna created her Believe Foundation in 2006 to help terminally ill children. Rihanna has performed a number of concerts to raise funds for both charities and the Foundation. She is also a 2008 Cartier LOVECHARITY Bracelet Ambassador, performed at Madonnas Raising Malawi fundraiser, and was lauded for her efforts to help a woman find a bone marrow donor.
In September 2008, Rihanna joined other female Pop, Rock, R&B & Country singers such as Carrie Underwood, Ciara, Beyoncé, Leona Lewis, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, and Fergie for the anti-cancer campaign Stand Up to Cancer and its theme song, "Just Stand Up!". The single is now available via iTunes.

  • Is there any truth to it that this woman has forced Youtube to remove old 50's music, I.E. " Dream" by the Everly Brothers from this site because she holds the copyright? Or this just Coporate Greed on the part of Warner and them blaming her for the removal. It sounds rediculous but this is what is happening lately to some of the old 50's music on the tube.
