Do you remember when Ri Ri was simply a cute little thing in "Pon De Replay"?

Now, she has become one of the industry's leading ladies, with 250 copies sold globally and 9 albums that have received both platinum and multi-platinum certifications.

A significant portion of this success can be attributed to "Umbrella", which was a chart-topper in 15 countries and stayed on the Hot 100 for almost 2 months.
