}} Robyn Rihanna Fenty (born February 20, 1988) ( ),〔(【引用サイトリンク】''Fenty v. Arcadia Group Records'' )〕 is a Barbadian singer and songwriter. Born in Saint Michael, Barbados, her career began upon meeting record producer Evan Rogers in late 2003 through mutual friends; she recorded demo tapes with his guidance. Her tape was sent to several record labels, and she subsequently signed a contract with Def Jam Recordings after auditioning for its then-president, hip-hop producer and 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". She rose to widespread prominence and became a household name with the release of her third studio album, ''Good Girl Gone Bad'' (2007), and its chart-topping lead single "Umbrella." The album and its 2008 ''Reloaded'' re-release were nominated for nine Grammy Awards, winning Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Umbrella". From 2009 to 2012, following a highly publicized altercation with then-boyfriend, entertainer Chris Brown, she annually released four Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) platinum certified albums: ''Rated R'' (2009), ''Loud'' (2010), ''Talk That Talk'' (2011), and her first ''Billboard'' 200 number one album ''Unapologetic'' (2012). The same year, she appeared in her first theatrical feature film, ''Battleship''. Rihanna has sold over 200 million records 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", "Take a Bow", "Disturbia", "Only Girl (In the World)", "S&M", "We Found Love", "Diamonds" and "Stay". In addition to her solo work, Rihanna has collaborated with other artists and was featured on the worldwide hits "Can't Remember to Forget You" (with Shakira), "Live Your Life" (with T.I.), "Run This Town" (with Jay-Z and Kanye West), "Love the Way You Lie" and "The Monster" (both with Eminem). She has achieved thirteen number-one singles on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart, becoming the youngest and fastest solo artist to accomplish this record. ''Billboard'' named her the Digital Songs Artist of the 2000s decade and the top Hot 100 artist of the 2010s decade.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Digital Songs Artist of the Decade )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Artists Of The Decade Music Chart )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hot 100 55th Anniversary: Top 100 Songs Word Cloud, Top Artists Map & More )〕 Rihanna is known for frequently reinventing her style and image, most notably since ''Good Girl Gone Bad''.
