Her latest album, ANTI, was released in 2016 and features collaborations with Drake and SZA.
The success of Rihanna’s music has been recognized by numerous industry organizations over the years. In 2010, she received two American Music Awards for Artist of the Year and Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist.
