She has attained fourteen Billboard Hot 100 number ones thus far and is the second Barbadian artist to win a Grammy Award. She is also a cultural ambassador for Barbados. In 2021 Rihanna was named a "National Hero" in her home country, earning her the title "The Right Excellent."
Rihanna was born in Saint Michael, Barbados to Ronald Fenty, a warehouse supervisor, and Monica Fenty, an accountant. Her mother, a native of Guyana, is Afro-Guyanese and her father is Bajan and Irish. She is the oldest of three siblings; two younger brothers, Rorrey and Rajad Fenty. She began singing at around the age of seven. Her childhood was deeply affected by her father's addiction to crack cocaine and parent's rocky marriage, which ended when she was fourteen years old. Rihanna attended Charles F. Broome Memorial School, a primary school in Barbados, and then the Combermere School, where she formed a musical trio with two of her classmates at the age of fifteen. In 2004 she won the Miss Combermere Beauty Pageant. She was an army cadet in a sub-military programme that trained with the military of Barbados and Shontelle was her drill sergeant.
At the age of 15, she formed a girl group with two of her classmates. In 2003, friends introduced Rihanna and her two bandmates to record producer Evan Rogers, who was vacationing in Barbados with his wife. The group auditioned for Rogers, who said that "the minute Rihanna walked into the room, it was like the other two girls didn't exist." While auditioning for Rogers, Rihanna sang Destiny's Child's cover of "Emotion". Over the next year, Rihanna and her mom shuttled back and forth to Rogers home in Stamford, Connecticut. Then, shortly after turning 16, she relocated in the United States and moved in with Rogers and his wife. Carl Sturken helped Rihanna record a four-song demo, which included the ballad "The Last Time," a cover of Whitney Houston’s hit "For the Love of You" and what would become her first hit, "Pon de Replay" to send to various recording companies. It took a year to record the demos, because she was going to school and would only record during summer and Christmas school breaks. Rihanna's demo made its way to Def Jam, which invited her to audition for the label's then-president, Jay-Z, who quickly signed her.
Rihanna broke into the recording industry in 2005 with the release of her debut album Music of the Sun, which features the number 2 hit single "Pon de Replay". Less than a year later, Rihanna released album artist=Rihanna]A Girl Like Me and earned her first number-one single, "SOS, which sampled the popular 80s track "Tainted Love". "Unfaithful" was also released and was fairly successful.
Rihanna released her third album Good Girl Gone Bad in June 2007. Prior to the release of the album, she spent the week of the Grammys writing songs for the album with Ne-Yo. She adopted a more sexual image while recording the album, eventually dying her hair black and cutting it short. Rihanna worked with Timbaland and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, as well as previous musical collaborators such as Stargate, Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers to re-imagine her album compositions with uptempo dance tracks. Rihanna commented, "I want to keep people dancing but still be soulful at the same time. You feel different every album, and [at] this stage I feel like I want to do a lot of uptempo [songs]."
The album topped the charts in countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Brazil, Russia and Ireland, and peaked at number two in the United States and Australia. Unlike previous work, the album featured a more dance-pop sound instead of the dancehall, reggae and ballad styles. The album received positive reviews by critics, becoming her most critically acclaimed album at that time compared to her previous efforts.
It yielded eight hit singles - "Umbrella" "Shut Up and Drive", "Don't Stop The Music" "Hate That I Love You" "Rehab" "Disturbia" "Take A Bow" "If I Never See Your Face Again" - all singles reaching the top twenty on the Billboard Hot 100 — including the worldwide number-one hit "Umbrella," featuring Jay-Z.
In addition to reaching number one in various countries, "Umbrella" was the number one single in the United Kingdom for ten consecutive weeks, making it the longest-running number-one single since Wet Wet Wet's single "Love Is All Around" spent fifteen weeks at the top in 1994. The song is listed number three on the 100 Best Songs of 2007 published by Rolling Stone magazine. In 2008, "Umbrella" earned Rihanna and Jay-Z a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration in addition to receiving nominations for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. It managed to stay at number one in the United Kingdom for 10 weeks, the longest time spent by a female and in the 21st century, on this chart.
"Umbrella" has also been recognised in various forms of accolades by the music press. The song is listed number three on the 100 Best Songs of 2007, published by the music magazine Rolling Stone. Time magazine also listed the song number three on their Top 10 Songs of 2007. The song is listed number one on Entertainment Weekly magazine's list of the 10 Best Singles of 2007, while topping the magazine's poll for the best single of 2007. Blender magazine awarded the song Song of the Year in their Readers' Poll 2007. The music press has considered "Umbrella" as 2007's Song of the Summer, while The New York Times writer Kelefa Sanneh regarded it as "arguably 2007's signature slow jam".
In August 2009, Rihanna collaborated with Jay-Z and Kanye West on "Run This Town." The song peaked at number two on Billboard Hot 100 and also reached the top ten in five other countries. She appeared on the cover of Vogue Italia for the September 2009 Issue. The shoot was influenced by Rihanna's hair, which she had cut for the shoot into a mohawk-like style. The style of the shoot was Extreme Couture and very dark, and in one shot she appeared semi-nude. Rihanna performed "Run This Town" along with Jay-Z and West for the "Answer the Call" concert at Madison Square Garden in September 2009, making it her first musical performance since the altercation with Brown. The trio also performed "Run This Town," on the premiere of The Jay Leno Show on September 14, 2009.
In November of 2009, Rated R was released in the wake of a physical altercation with romantic interest Chris Brown, who pled guilty to felony assault. The album's lead single, "Russian Roulette" -- written with Ne-Yo - was one of the year's most controversial singles. The album also includes collaborations with Tricky, The-Dream, Stargate, and SRP.

The song later became her eleventh number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100. "You Da One" became the second single from the album but was not as successful as "We Found Love". The third single from the album, "Talk That Talk" featuring Jay-Z, was announced on Rihanna's Twitter. The fourth single, "Where Have You Been", peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100.

The lyrics of the song “Hole In My Head” by Rihanna featuring Justin Timberlake talk about having a hole in your head, which can be interpreted as having a tendency to act impulsively or irrationally. The song suggests that the singer has a wild side and is not afraid of anything, even when being provoked. The chorus repeats the line “I got a hole in my head” to emphasize this idea.
The first verse talks about how the singer’s lips keep moving, even though they have a couple of screws loose. They are also being talked about by other people as being bad news, but the singer interrupts them, starting themselves up. The second verse emphasizes the singer's wild side, with the idea that they may anger or provoke someone to burn things down.
The song’s overall theme focuses on the idea of letting loose and being wild. It encourages embracing the crazy parts of oneself and not being afraid to show them off. In the end, the song suggests that everyone has a hole in their head, making it okay to embrace one's wild side.

Verse 1
Rihanna:
No use

Didn't take a lot to start me up
Refrain 1
Rihanna:
I don't think you really wanna do it right now
And not with me (with me)
Don't start with me (with me)

Cause how I'm feelin', watered down
You're gonna drown
Pre-Chorus 1

Ask anybody, I'ma rep this for the ladies, though
Watch your tone around me

If you really wanna see me get wild
Get, get, get wild

Don't look at me funny like you ain't hear what I said
I got a hole in my head (I got a hole in my head, oh, oh)
(Uh, my head, my head)
Verse 2
Rihanna:
Buckle up
I ride just like a fast car (oooh)
Suck it up
Don't even try to act hard (oooh)
And you can try to run but you won't get very far
And then you can try to hide but I know where you are (oh, oh)
Let loose (loose)
I see right through you, you got a hole in your head, too (head, too)
And I knew it the very moment I met you (you)
So, I hope you got your swagger up
You know just what I love
Didn't take a lot to work me up
Refrain 2
Rihanna:
I don't think you really wanna do it right now
And not with me (with me)
Don't start with me (with me)
I got a, got a attitude on me
And I don't think you really wanna run your mouth
Cause how I'm feelin', watered down (oh, oh)
Baby, might drown
Pre-Chorus 2
Rihanna:
(Ooh)
Catch me on your mind, baby
Don't waste my time, baby
(Ooh)
Now watch me whine
You can take that as a sign, baby
(Ooh)
So left and right with me
Now push my button
If you really wanna see me go wild (oh, oh)
Go, go wild
Chorus
Rihanna:
I got a hole in my head (I got a hole in my head)
A hole in my head (A hole in my head)
Sometimes I get crazy and I ain't scared of nobody (scared of nobody)
Don't look at me funny like you ain't hear what I said
I got a hole in my head (I got a hole in my head, oh, oh)
My head, my head
I got a hole in my head (I got a hole in my head, uh-uh-uh, oh-oh-oh)
Uh, my head, my head
I got a hole in my head (I got a hole in my head, uh-uh-uh, oh-oh-oh)
Uh, my head, my head
Don't look at me funny like you ain't hear what I said
I got a hole in my head (I got a hole in my head, oh, oh)
(Uh, my head, my head)
Post-Chorus
Rihanna:
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Sometimes I go crazy
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Watch me, watch me
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Sometimes I go crazy
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh)
Bridge
Justin Timberlake:
Uh, uh, break it down! (oooh)
I hear voices in my head, they go… (oooh)
I hear voices in my head, they go… (oooh)
I hear voices in my head, they go… (oooh)
(Oh, oh)
Uh, now go! (oooh)

Rihanna:

I got a hole in my head (I got a hole in my head, oh, oh)
My head, my head
I got a hole in my head (I got a hole in my head, uh-uh-uh, oh-oh-oh)
Uh, my head, my head
I got a hole in my head (I got a hole in my head, uh-uh-uh, oh-oh-oh)
Uh, my head, my head
Don't look at me funny like you ain't hear what I said

How is this song a bonus track? Should have definitely been on the album, it fits right in with the attitude and mood of everything else on there. Once again, JT and Rihanna are rocking it.
