“Gold & Platinum is the industry’s premier way to celebrate achievement in the marketplace,” Cary Sherman, Chairman & CEO, RIAA. “We’ve given awards to artists for nearly 60 years, but it’s rare that we have the opportunity to recognize a milestone like the one Rihanna has reached. Congratulations to Rihanna! She has not only surpassed RIAA’s one-hundred million mark, but also is the first artist to do so. It’s an historic feat and a testament to an extraordinary career.”

Hits such as “We Found Love,” “Stay,” and her latest “Bitch Better Have My Money” are the reason for this milestone. The latter being 2x multi-platinum.
