US pop-sensation Rihanna has received an award from the RIAA – that is the Recording Industry Association of America to you and us-for achieving the record-breaking tally of 110.5 million cumulative digital song certifications.
Certifications are awarded every time a song is downloaded or streamed 150 times.
RiRi’s record label Universal sent the singer the following message after she became the first artist to achieve the feat.
Cheers @Rihanna! She has 110.5 millions cumulative song certifications in the US. The only artist to cross @RIAA‘s 100M mark.
