It’s weird to imagine we’ve been listening to Rihanna for ten years, yet that’s exactly what we’ve done. Rihanna first made her mark as a Barbadian youngster with catchy tunes and a lot of sass. But, from those innocent beginnings, Rihana has grown into one of pop music’s most controversial superstars. She’s bold, hilarious, smokey, and has a libido that’s unrepentant. She’s also sold over 200 million records over the course of her career. That’s in addition to Taylor Swift, Kanye West, U2, and the list goes on. Rihanna is only 27, and we’re probably only halfway through her time at the top of the industry, so her accomplishments are amazing when you consider how many timeless classics she’s been a part of. Rihanna’s new album, “Anti,” is set to drop any day now (you know how big-name artists are with surprise releases these days), so we thought it was a good moment to take a look back at her career thus far. Enjoy her best songs, which range from dancehall and ragga to EDM and Drake collaborations, in the playlist below.
