Artist Profiles > Rihanna

Rihanna is an international superstar who rose to fame after her first album was released way back in 2005, with one of the most successful single hits of all time and the song we couldn't get out of our heads, "Umbrella". Since then, she has gone on to produce album after album, and is still only 26.

She has also been in the spotlight as a celebrity after a long and controversial relationship with fellow R&B pop star, Chris Brown. In 2009, they broke the headlines after Brown assaulted Rihanna before an awards show, which then led to convictions. Since then, she has taken the number one spot in pretty much every country in the world and even turned to acting, appearing in movies such as Battleship and This Is the End.
