Her list of 2‑billion‑stream giants includes We Found Love, Umbrella, Love On The Brain, Stay, Diamonds, This Is What You Came For and Love The Way You Lie.

Streaming Power Without Releasing New Music

Collectively, Rihanna’s songs have now amassed over 61 billion streams on Spotify — a staggering number that places her among the most streamed artists of all time.
Rihanna has just passed The Weeknd in Spotify monthly listeners.
