This month alone, she earned new certifications for “Stay” (7x platinum), “Love on the Brain” (3x platinum), and “Desperado” (platinum).
RiRi’s 124 million certified units make her the most awarded artist in the Digital Songs section of the chart. Taylor Swift (108.5 million) and Eminem (107.5 million) trail behind her, while Katy Perry (98 million) and Justin Bieber (68.5 million) round out the top five.
Her reign extends beyond music. After taking over fashion with Fenty x Puma and cosmetics with Fenty Beauty, she’s reportedly also getting into the lingerie business. Her new line is scheduled to debut soon.
