Rihanna, 27, topped the list of artists with the most digital
single awards, coming in ahead of Taylor Swift and Katy Perry in
the second and third places respectively. The recording
industry's digital single certifications count download sales
and on-demand streams in the United States.
"She has not only surpassed RIAA's one-hundred million mark, but
also is the first artist to do so. It's an historic feat and a
testament to an extraordinary career," Cary Sherman, the
association's chairman and CEO, said in a statement.
Rihanna has won eight Grammy awards and has seven studio albums
to her name. Her songs "We Found Love," "Stay" and "Only Girl
(In The World)" are among her top-selling singles.
