Bow down -- Rihanna has officially sold more digital singles than any other artist. Ever.
The singer has surpassed more than 100 million gold and platinum song certifications, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. She's the first artist in the RIAA's history to pass the 100 million Digital Singles Award mark.

Rihanna has released seven albums in 10 years, her first being Music of the Sun in 2005. Her last six albums were all certified platinum. She has since sold 7.5 million albums in the U.S.
"We’ve given awards to artists for nearly 60 years, but it’s rare that we have the opportunity to recognize a milestone like the one Rihanna has reached," RIAA chairman and CEO Cary Sherman said in a statement. "Congratulations to Rihanna! She has not only surpassed RIAA’s one-hundred million mark, but also is the first artist to do so. It’s an historic feat and a testament to an extraordinary career.”
The singer's most recent single, "Bitch Better Have My Money," has already gone platinum. Previous single "FourFiveSeconds" is 2X multi-platinum.
She also achieved another first this year, when she became Dior's first black brand ambassador.

It's a great year to be Rihanna. But who are we kidding -- any year is a good year to be Rihanna.
