Rihanna, 35, is the first female artiste to have ten songs hit one billion streams on Spotify

The Halo singer ditched any notion of humble-bragging on her Instagram page, writing instead — 'Bad gal bili.' 

'Wit no new album...lemme talk my sh*t,' the Barbardian-born beauty joked, adding a winking emoji with its tongue out next to an emoji of the flag of her home country. 

Her last album, Anti, dropped in 2016.  

The monumental achievement follows Rihanna's viral SuperBowl LVII halftime performance, where the former Fenty CEO showed off her baby belly, revealing she was pregnant with her second child. 

Back when iPods were still a relatively new notion, Rihanna debuted in the music industry with her hit single Pon de Replay. 

2005 proved to be a bountiful year for the business mogul, with the singer's first album, Music of the Sun, claiming the tenth spot on the Billboard Top 200 chart. 

Without a doubt one of the most influential singers of the 21st century, Rihanna would go on to release several follow-up, record-breaking albums. 

Her 2012 album (the fifth overall) Unapologetic, was Rihanna's first studio record to hit number one on the Billboard 200 chart. 

The dedicated philanthropist also ventured out into multiple business ventures in the wake of her musical success. 

Following the release of her sixth album in 2016, Rihanna founded Fenty Beauty in 2017. 

Now regarded as one of the best makeup and skincare lines on the market, Fenty Beauty is used by 13% of cosmetics and makeup users in the United States, according to Statista

One year later, the Diamonds In The Sky singer founded her second successful business, a lingerie line she called Savage X Fenty.
