Robyn Rihanna Fenty (born February 20, 1988), known professionally as Rihanna is a Barbadian singer, actress, songwriter and fashion designer. Her career took of when she auditioned in front of rapper Jay Z.Both her debut album, Music of the Sun (2005) and its follow-up A Girl Like Me (2006) peaked in the top ten on the US Billboard 200; the former featured the commercially successful song "Pon de Replay" while the latter produced her first Billboard Hot 100 number-one single, "SOS".
Rihanna has sold over 41 million albums and 150 million songs worldwide, making her one of the best-selling artists of all time. Many of her songs rank among the world's best-selling singles of all time, such as "Umbrella",
Rihanna is known for frequently reinventing her style and image, most notably since Good Girl Gone Bad. Her work has earned her numerous awards and accolades, including eight Grammy Awards,eight American Music Awards, 23 Billboard Music Awards, and two BRIT Awards, and in 2012, Forbes ranked her the fourth most powerful celebrity of the year, with earnings of $53 million in one year. That same year, TIME named Rihanna one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. At the American Music Awards of 2013, she received the first ever Icon Award and on June 2, 2014, Rihanna received the Fashion Icon lifetime achievement award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
Overall I think that Rihanna is a good artist to chose purely because she has been successful in her career and has a variety of songs to chose from and is a good role model.
