Her debut album, "Music of the Sun" was released in 2005 and sold more than 2 million copies.

She has released seven albums so far, featuring major hits such as "SOS", which was Rihanna's first single to reach the top place on the Billboard's Hot 100 chart, and the best known of all her songs, "Umbrella".

Rihanna has won multiple awards through her career, most notably 22 Billboard Music Awards, eight American Music Awards, seven Grammy Awards, and two Brit Awards.
