Wow! Rihanna Becomes The First Female Singer To Have 10 Songs With 1 Billion Streaming On Spotify

JAKARTA - Rihanna made history by becoming the first female artist to have 10 songs reach one billion streams on Spotify.

In recent years, the Barbados-born singer has focused on her clothing and beauty company under her Fenty brand.

She also became a mother after giving birth to her son, RZA in May 2022 and is expecting another child this year.

Despite not releasing an album since ANTI (2016), Rihanna posted the graphic to her Instagram, showing fans she had made Spotify history on July 1.

In the caption, she wrote: ”Bad Gal billi … wit no new album… lemme talk my shit!”

The streaming platform confirmed the news afterward.

Nicki Minaj commented below Rihanna's original post, praising her fellow collaborators in creative rhymes.

“Not bad gal Billi, poppin’ shit like a wheelie,” she wrote.

“I mean poppin’ like a pilly, like really. Man down ’cause she making a killy!!! SILLY! Bout to be pushin’ out a new kid like Gillie. Caribbean girls run it & AWWLLL these bitches know da dilly.”

The top 10 songs from Rihanna's catalog to reach one billion streams are Diamonds, We Found Love, Love on the Brain, Stay, This Is What You Came For, Needed Me, Four Five Seconds, Work, Umbrella, and Love the Way You Lie.

The latest music released by the Grammy Award winner comes from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. The lead single is Lift Me Up, which will be released in October 2022.

Last February, Rihanna admitted that it would be "ridiculous" if she didn't release her ninth studio album sometime in the coming year.
