The album's 2008 *Reloaded* reissue spawned two more Hot 100 number-ones: "Take a Bow" and "Disturbia".[7](https://www.grammy.com/news/rihanna-songs-albums-discography-music-guide-career/) In the UK, "Take a Bow" spent two weeks at number one.[4](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/12203/RIHANNA/) During this period she also began her featured-artist run, reaching number one on the Hot 100 with T.I.'s "Live Your Life" and joining Jay-Z and [Kanye West](https://www.edgepedia.org/kanye-west) on "Run This Town", a UK number one.[7](https://www.grammy.com/news/rihanna-songs-albums-discography-music-guide-career/) • [4](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/12203/RIHANNA/)

*Loud* (2010) produced the number-one singles "Only Girl (In the World)", her first collaboration with Drake on "What's My Name?", and "S&M", whose remix with [Britney Spears](https://www.edgepedia.org/britney-spears) gave Rihanna her tenth Hot 100 number one and made her the youngest artist to attain the most chart-toppers in a five-year span.[7](https://www.grammy.com/news/rihanna-songs-albums-discography-music-guide-career/) In the UK, "Only Girl (In the World)" and "What's My Name" each spent two weeks and one week at number one respectively.[4](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/12203/RIHANNA/) In October 2011 she scored a record-breaking sixth UK number one in five consecutive years, a feat Official Charts confirmed was unequalled by any other female solo artist.[4](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/12203/RIHANNA/)
## Talk That Talk, Unapologetic, and the featured-artist peak (2011–2015)
"We Found Love" with [Calvin Harris](https://www.edgepedia.org/calvin-harris), the lead single of *Talk That Talk* (2011), spent ten consecutive weeks atop the Hot 100 and six weeks at number one in the UK, where it charted for 63 weeks.[7](https://www.grammy.com/news/rihanna-songs-albums-discography-music-guide-career/) • [4](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/12203/RIHANNA/) *Unapologetic* (2012) became her first album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200, and its lead single "Diamonds", written by Sia, gave Rihanna her twelfth Hot 100 number one.[7](https://www.grammy.com/news/rihanna-songs-albums-discography-music-guide-career/) The ballad "Stay" featuring Mikky Ekko narrowly missed the top spot but became her 24th Hot 100 top-ten hit, surpassing [Whitney Houston](https://www.edgepedia.org/whitney-houston)'s record of 23.[7](https://www.grammy.com/news/rihanna-songs-albums-discography-music-guide-career/)
Her collaborations kept charting alongside her own singles: Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie" and "The Monster", Coldplay's "Princess of China", Drake's "Take Care", and, in 2017, [DJ Khaled](https://www.edgepedia.org/dj-khaled)'s "Wild Thoughts" with [Bryson Tiller](https://www.edgepedia.org/bryson-tiller), which reached number two on the Hot 100.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/mn0000367188) • [7](https://www.grammy.com/news/rihanna-songs-albums-discography-music-guide-career/) In 2015, no longer with Def Jam and signed to [Roc Nation](https://www.edgepedia.org/roc-nation), she released non-album singles including "FourFiveSeconds" with Kanye West and Paul McCartney, which reached number four on the Hot 100 and number three in the UK, and "Bitch Better Have My Money".[8](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/rihanna-mn0000367188) • [4](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/12203/RIHANNA/)
## ANTI and after (2016–present)
ANTI (2016) traded obvious singles for a looser, more personal sound, yet its lead single "Work" with Drake became her 14th and longest-running Hot 100 chart-topper, and the album became her second LP to top the Billboard 200.[3](https://rollingvibe.com/rihanna-music-career-timeline/) • [7](https://www.grammy.com/news/rihanna-songs-albums-discography-music-guide-career/) The deluxe edition's sixteen tracks included eight that topped the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, breaking the record previously held by [Katy Perry](https://www.edgepedia.org/katy-perry)'s *Teenage Dream* for the most number-ones from a single album.[7](https://www.grammy.com/news/rihanna-songs-albums-discography-music-guide-career/)
Since ANTI, her releases have been sparse soundtrack singles: "Lift Me Up" from *[Black Panther](https://www.edgepedia.org/black-panther-soundtrack): Wakanda Forever* (2022), which earned Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for Best Original Song and returned her to the Hot 100 top ten for the first time since "Wild Thoughts", and "[Friend of Mine](https://www.edgepedia.org/friend-of-mine-rihanna-song)" from the 2025 Smurfs movie soundtrack.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/mn0000367188) • [7](https://www.grammy.com/news/rihanna-songs-albums-discography-music-guide-career/) • [9](https://www.iheart.com/content/2025-05-16-rihanna-shares-brand-new-song-friend-of-mine-ahead-of-smurfs-movie/) In the UK, "Breakin' Dishes" re-entered the chart in 2025 and peaked at number 20.[4](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/12203/RIHANNA/)
## Certifications and catalog endurance
In April 2026 Rihanna became the first woman in music-industry history to surpass 200 million RIAA-certified single units, reaching 200.5 million despite a decade without a new studio album; she stands third on the all-time list behind Drake (277.5 million) and [Morgan Wallen](https://www.edgepedia.org/morgan-wallen) (215 million).[6](https://ca.rollingstone.com/rihanna-becomes-first-woman-to-surpass-200-million-riaa-singles-certifications-in-music-history/) The RIAA counts 150 on-demand streams as the equivalent of one digital single purchase, so streaming-age catalogs accumulate units far faster than pre-digital ones.[6](https://ca.rollingstone.com/rihanna-becomes-first-woman-to-surpass-200-million-riaa-singles-certifications-in-music-history/) In the UK she has spent 25 weeks at number one and 267 weeks in the top ten across 63 top-75 singles, and at one point held the record for the most million-selling singles in UK history by any solo artist.[4](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/12203/RIHANNA/) • [2](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/mn0000367188)
