Rihanna Named First Artist To Cross RIAA’s 100 Million Song Certifications
by Staff Editor
Rihanna has a lot to celebrate, from dropping her most anticipated video for #BBHMM to being named the first artist to cross the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) 100 million gold and platinum song certifications.
RIAA’s Chairman and CEO Cary Sherman says they’ve given awards to many artists for nearly 60 years, but none come close to recognizing a milestone like the one Rihanna has reached.
These honors include 37 separate titles thus far in Rihanna’s career from a 9x multi-platinum award for “We Found Love,” 6x multi-platinum for “Stay,” “What’s My Name,” and “Only Girl (In The World),” plus a 2 multi-platinum for a new song “FourFiveSeconds,” a platinum for “Bitch Better Have My Money,” and many more.
With that being said, this makes the “Bitch Better Have My Money” singer number 1 on the RIAA’s list of artists.
