If ever there was proof “that Rihanna reign just won’t let up,” it lies at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
There, the GRAMMY winner – despite having seen six years pass since the release of her last studio album ‘Anti‘ – still rules as the Queen of Digital Music thanks to a whopping 155.5 million singles sold to date (besting the likes of Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Adele, Nicki Minaj, and all the other top divas of the day in the process).
That sum is comprised largely of Rih’s Platinum certifications, a historic number of smashes she held by her lonesome until recently when Beyonce – thanks to hits found aboard her seventh solo studio album ‘Renaissance‘ – tied the ‘Work‘ singer’s longstanding RIAA record.
Details inside.
On November 30, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) took to press to announce ‘Break My Soul,’ the chart-topping lead single from Beyonce‘s seventh solo studio album, ‘Renaissance,‘ had crossed its threshold for Platinum certification. This means it’s sold the equivalent of 1 million copies in the United States.
What’s more, the LP itself – which also houses the hits ‘Cuff It,’ ‘Church Girl,’ and others – is similarly certified.
And while the feat brought with it a number of noteworthy achievements, a clear standout is the exclusive club the diva is now part of thanks to the arrival of the new shiny plaques.

If you weren’t dancing to this song 16 years ago, were you even on this planet?
Today’s From The Vault pick comes courtesy of the Pop force of that time – Justin Timberlake.
This week’s pick is the super slick ‘SexyBack.’
Served up as the first taste of JT’s 2006 sophomore album ‘FutureSex/LoveSounds,’ ‘Sexy’ was produced by Timbaland – who also features on the song.
The EDM-tinged single not only ushered in a new sound for Timberlake, but it was also very influential for the music landscape at large from 2006 to the end of the decade.
A global success, the track reached the #1 spot in the UK, Germany, Australia, and Canada. It spent seven consecutive weeks at the top of the US Billboard Hot 100.
Additionally, ‘Sexy’ snagged a GRAMMY in 2007 for Best Dance Recording.
Michael Haussmann directed its accompanying visual, which featured Justin and actress Elena Anaya as two rival spies. Lensed in Barcelona, the clip successfully translates the song’s hyper-hectic sonics onto film.
The NSYNC alumnus won the most prizes at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards thanks to this video alongside those for subsequent singles ‘My Love’ and ‘What Goes Around.’
*********
15+ years after literally ruling the charts, it seems the masses are not as on board with Timberlake as they once were.
From being branded a “culture-vulture” from some corners of the net to being held accountable for the way he treated both Britney Spears and Janet Jackson in the early 00s, it looks like the modern Pop cultural sphere is not quite ready to let JT’s early-day mishaps slide.
For yours truly, who has long been chanting #JusticeForJanet and questioned the seemingly automatic placement of Timberlake above his more naturally gifted peers, it’s slightly perplexing that this reckoning is so…retroactive.
Still, hits have been made and history has been written. So, kudos to Mr. Timberlake for dropping this banger.
