By August 25, 2025Dance

Rihanna

Rihanna is ‘only’ the 8th top selling music artist in history because she’s the youngest on this list. At 37 years of age, she has a lot of time to surpass everyone else on this list:

  1. The Beatles
  2. Michael Jackson
  3. Elvis Presley
  4. Elton John
  5. Queen
  6. Madonna
  7. Led Zeppelin
  8. Rihanna
  9. Pink Floyd

She already has 90 million weekly listeners on Spotify. So if we look at the list above in terms of weekly visitors to Spotify, here’s how it looks:

  1. Rihanna (91 million weekly visitors)
  2. Michael Jackson (50)
  3. Queen (50)
  4. Elton (48)
  5. Madonna (39)
  6. Beatles (32)
  7. Pink Floyd (25)
  8. Elvis (21)
  9. Led Zeppelin (21)

This Barbados superstar has a net worth of $1 Billion. That’s how successful her music career has been; that’s how much the public loves her music.

Unlike Led Zeppelin, there are no shortage of Rihanna wedding songs. Let’s look at a few.

Love on the Brain

Let’s start with the music. It features a compelling beat in 6/8 time with a simple timpani beat. Totally catchy. As for the lyrics, they talk about intense longing, but sadly throw in a gratuitous ‘f’ word. Be sure to ask your DJ for a clean lyrics version.

We Found Love

The song goes further than the title by repeating, “we found love in a hopeless place.” Sometimes when we’re in a bad place, it takes a loving relationship to show us the way out. Is that your situation? Then this song may be for you.

Lift Me Up: best Rihanna wedding song?
