From
her Caribbean roots to the top of the charts, the runways of Paris and Milan
and some of the biggest stages in the world, - Including London’s O2 arena
where she sold out ten concerts, the first by a female solo artist - the 24-ear-old,
Barbados-born beauty has already earned the coveted title of international
superstar.It’s hard to imagine that just four years ago, Rihanna was a young
girl living in the beautiful Barbados parish of Saint Michael. Her first
connection to the music industry came when she met a vacationing music producer
named Evan Rogers from New York City. After an impromptu performance for Evan,
he was absolutely certain she would one day make history. Soon after, Evan and
Rihanna traveled to the Big Apple in search of a record deal. It took just one
meeting with Jay-Z and Antonio “L.A.” Reid for Rihanna to score her big break;
Jay, who had just recently been appointed the President of Def Jam Records, was
so taken by the young singer's arresting natural talent that he signed her to
the legendary label on the spot.“We Found Love” was by far the biggest single
of Rihanna’s career to date, spending 10 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100
in the U.S., besting her previous record of seven weeks apiece at #1 for
“Umbrella” (featuring Jay-Z) back in 2007, and T.I.’s “Love Your Life”
(featuring Rihanna) in 2008.“We Found Love” made history as Rihanna’s 11th #1
hit on the Hot 100, and her 20th Top 10 hit. At age 23, Rihanna became the
youngest artist in Billboard chart history to earn 11 Hot 100 #1 hits.Listen song here:YouTube
