Rihanna Makes Spotify History as ‘Only Girl (In the World)’ Surpasses 2 Billion Streams

Rihanna has reached another major milestone on Spotify, with her 2010 hit “Only Girl (In the World)” officially surpassing 2 billion streams on the platform.

The achievement gives Rihanna eight songs with more than 2 billion Spotify streams, further cementing her status as one of the most successful and enduring artists of the streaming era.

Rihanna Becomes the Female Artist With the Most 2 Billion-Stream Songs

With “Only Girl (In the World)” joining the elite club, Rihanna now holds the record for the female artist with the most songs surpassing 2 billion streams on Spotify.

Her eight-song lineup includes:

* “We Found Love”
* “This Is What You Came For”
* “Umbrella”
* “Love the Way You Lie”
* “Love on the Brain”
* “Stay”
* “Diamonds”
* “Only Girl (In the World)”

The milestone places Rihanna ahead of other major female artists, including Billie Eilish, who has seven songs above the 2 billion-stream mark.

‘Only Girl’ Continues to Dominate More Than a Decade Later

Released in 2010 as part of Rihanna’s Loud era, “Only Girl (In the World)” became one of the defining pop hits of her career.

The dance-pop anthem topped charts around the world and earned Rihanna a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.

More than 15 years after its release, the song continues to attract millions of listeners, demonstrating the lasting popularity of Rihanna’s catalog.

Rihanna’s Music Remains Powerful Despite Years Without an Album

Perhaps the most remarkable part of the milestone is that Rihanna has not released a new studio album since ANTI, which arrived in 2016.

Despite the lengthy gap between albums, her older music continues to generate enormous streaming numbers.

Several other Rihanna hits are also moving toward the 2 billion-stream territory, including “Don’t Stop the Music,” “S&M” and “Needed Me.”

That continued performance highlights the extraordinary longevity of Rihanna’s music and her ability to remain one of the world’s most-streamed artists without regularly releasing new albums.

Rihanna’s Spotify Milestone Fuels R9 Anticipation

The latest streaming record is also likely to reignite excitement surrounding Rihanna’s long-awaited ninth studio album, commonly referred to by fans as R9.

Rihanna has repeatedly kept fans waiting for new music, with no official release date currently announced for the follow-up to ANTI.

Still, the continued success of her existing catalog shows that interest in the superstar has not faded.

From “Umbrella” and “Diamonds” to “We Found Love” and now “Only Girl (In the World),” Rihanna’s biggest hits continue to attract new generations of listeners.

Her latest Spotify achievement is another reminder of the extraordinary staying power of her music—and why fans remain eager to hear what she does next.
