overview

Rihanna can pretty much write her own ticket, ever since her jump from middle-of-the-pack R&B singer to musical superstar in the summer of 2007, with one little song, about her "Umbrella." Discovered by music producer Evan Rogers on her native Barbados when she was just 15, the gorgeous island girl has gone on to work with some of the best in the business including Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z. Her third album, "Good Girl Gone Bad," has had hit-after-hit, marking her launch into the big leagues.

Her 2006 single “S.O.S.” was her first to hit the #1 slot on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and she doesn't show the slightest intent of slowing down in her pursuit of becoming queen of the music world.
