The fact that she hasn't release a single song in 2 years and a proper project in 8 and still is the 5th most listened artist on Spotify worldwide should tell you all you need to know about her power, she is and forever will be really THAT girl
But low-key we really don’t. We are so blessed with what we already have. Don’t get me wrong, I’m curious to hear what R9 has to offer, but chica, we good with her already fabulous discography.
this video could have been hours long. each of rihanna’s singles has something exquisite going on. she’s a legend, she’s an icon, and she is the moment!!!!
OOOOOOH we're about to get controversial. My favorite is Only Girl, when i heard that song for the first time i said: "I'll never be the same person again, i want to feel in love like this"
I used to hate “Don’t Stop the Music” growing up because it was overkill on the radio lol. Now that I’m older I realize it’s not that bad of a song just overplayed
Kiss it better is without a doubt my favorite Rihanna record. The song doesn’t seem fully fleshed out like there’s something definitely missing but it’s irresistible nevertheless. That whole album defined my late 20”s ❤️
Even when she is one of the biggest popstars from the past decades, I like how she is able to keep her private life somewhat out of the spotlight. Like regarding her child for example. I really respect her for not pushing any publicity onto them, like other celebrities like to do. She is just doing her own thing in her own way and still slaying
This was a monumental undertaking, Rihanna's discography is STACKED!! That said, I'm feeling your ranking, Honest! My personal faves include Man Down, BBHMM, Needed Me, Jump, We Found Love, Umbrella, Take Care. And I agree about Lift Me Up, it's one of my least faves by Queen RiRi
I will always say Rihanna was ahead of her time, she was making crazy visuals in music videos, theateratical perfamances, and fashion before lady gaga. Idk why she's not credited on it, but then i remember this girl is poc makes sense. Kinda like Blackout, where people say the fame brought the edm sound but it really didn't blackout and Justin Timberlake's record brought that sounds as well as dubstep.
The biggest selling artist of the 21st century, and only #2 greatest selling female artist of all time to Madonna. Plus Rihanna has the most #1 hits out of any artist of the 21st century. I was mad Billboar didn't give her artist of the decade for 2010s, considering she outsold and charted everyone. But billboard is fake and has industry politics.
Taylor Swift was more consistent, she at least a #2 hit every year since 2010 and amazing longevity at charts, and so so so many entrees, I think the most of the decade. And has much bigger albums tho, all went #1 and 1989 is the second biggest of the century (or decade, I don't remember) only behind 21 by Adele. Rihanna is for sure deserving of it as well, but Taylor also makes sense, now more than ever tho
The most consistent hit maker of the 21st century 2005 - debut era 2006 - sophomore era 2007 - superstar breakthrough era 2008 - superstar era continued 2009 - controversy / dark era (Russian Roulette & Hard did underperform but still moderate hits) 2010 - Rude Boy smashed saving the Rated R era and the huge Loud era begins 2011 - Loud continues smashing, WE FOUND LOVE, Talk That Talk era 2012 - Talk That Talk continued, DIAMONDS, Unapologetic era begins 2013 - Unapologetic continued, STAY was huge this year 2014 - Can’t Remember To Forget You, Monster 2015 - her first miss year for me. Didn’t care for any of the singles she dropped, although FourFiveSeconds & Bitch Better Have My Money were hits 2016 - WORK, Anti era begins, Video Vanguard 2017 - Anti era continues, WILD THOUGHTS 2018 - Hiatus, Billionaire Mogul era begins😭 She played the game SO smart . Worked consistently for 12 years, establishing herself as a pop juggernaut and icon, then took a definite hiatus to establish herself as a global mogul and became a billionaire as a result. Now she NEVER has to step foot in a studio or on a stage ever again although I think she will eventually but it’ll be entirely on HER time😮💨
I love that you put Kiss it Better as number one! Definitely one of my favorite songs from her. There’s a very, very sexy vibe to that song. It’s my favorite from that album for sure.
for me, it has to be Love On The Brain. It is just so brilliant, from the simple yet effective production to the totally opposite - complex, vocal and emotional performance, but as effective, even more maybe. It is done so tastefully, and the violinsss, and the tone changes the way does the "ow ow ow oww" imitating a violin, and then saying word "violin" it in a lyric right after AND THEN the acual violin playing... i mean a masterpiece truly, and not only her best imo, but one of the best songs ever created.
Surprised that I agreed with number one. I was never a huge Rihanna fan, but Anti by far is her best work in my opinion. And Kiss it Better just has this timelessness to it. Honestly I’m glad she (seemingly) ended her music career on such a high.
These kind of rankings are hard as FUCK because Rih is such a chameleon and like most of her singles do not sound the same. Some days I prefer Pop Rih and other days i prefer Reggae Rih like??
I personally would have put American Oxygen, Russian Roulette and Sledgehammer higher. All really meaningful songs that are deep when you really listen to the lyrics!
I so agree with Kiss It Better, it's SO AMAZING and ugh that GUITAR is just amazing. Also true about What Now, I love that song and how it's part ballad but also part drums/electronic and they mix so well together
*I love the grounded reality of this channel!!!* Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $47,000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD❤️
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
Yes Honest!!!! Finally ranking other artists singles! Rihanna has one of the greatest catalogs of hits to come out of Pop Music History ✨👑✨ Who else could honestly sing, and interpret Only Girl (In The World), Diamonds, and Umbrella and turn them into global chart toppers? Rihanna’s presence, style, and persona is truly a signature, and in a class of its own! Fun fact: Kiss It Better was supposed to be the lead single of Anti, but Travis Scott talked her out of it 😤 Despite that… Kiss It Better is pure midnight ethereality! A Rihanna essential! 👑
I'm not a big Rihanna fan but I do love quite a few songs: "We Ride", "Umbrella", "Shut Up And Drive", "Take A Bow", "Only Girl (In The World)", "U Da One", "Wild Thoughts", "The Monster", "Can't Remember To Forget You" & "Fly"
It’s we found love, Man Down, we ride, te amo, S&M, luvn if u want, BBHMM, Where have U been, & Pour it up for me. Fresh off the Runway & Watch n learn was also SLEPT ON💯
My God…Kiss It Better is such a beautifully crafted song. Incredibly underrated but I’m so glad it was number one in your list. It’s probably my favourite song by Rihanna

Rihanna's music catalogue is sickening af. She is an icon
@@tisyaa4294she’s very versatile
wbk
@@tisyaa4294 She can comfortably retire at any moment now. She gas overachievered as a pop star. She's a pop icon
she copied Kelis to get where she is
Yes. I love Rihanna!!! 🔥
The more that time goes on, the more that I enjoy Bitch Better Have My Money. Infectious banger.
Same, and pour it up
True . What made love the song was Jimmy Fallon been woke to that song in the middle of night. That was awesome.
@@ebbie0074 was Kimmel
Man down will always be one of my top songs of Riri's
Kiss It Better is her best song and should've been a worldwide hit.
This is forever my favourite Rihanna song since the very first day I heard it in 2016
🔥🔥🔥
yes
Esp the Kaytranada remix
needed me is such an iconic riri song
As a Caribbean person I need her to drop that reggae album. Reggae is evergreen and will never sound dated!
This!!!!!!
Yes! Man Down & No Love Allowed❤
Imma need a Reggae album based on Love & Murder
Oh we getting fed our backs finna be wide honest!!!!
It shouldn’t have laughed this hard 😂
backs big like the sun😭
FREN WHAT???😭😭😭😭😭
OH WOW???
Big backs go crazy 😂😂😂
yess kiss it better is my fave as well. that song just has something in it
We need one more album from Rihanna
But low-key we really don’t. We are so blessed with what we already have. Don’t get me wrong, I’m curious to hear what R9 has to offer, but chica, we good with her already fabulous discography.
a reggae/trap album
her discography is great as it is, begging for a new album is pointless
Rihanna pumped out seven albums in seven years. If she’s done with music, Anti was a great way to go out.
@@cherrywineluxe just if she wants to drop it
Having seen this makes me realise how lucky we are to have had Rihanna putting out HIT AFTER HIT ♥️
Just realised that this is probably what the new age girlies are trying to do but it isn't working
I appreciate you dedicating a whole video for Rihanna’s singles.
It’s wild to me how many hits she has. What a true icon! The best for me are “Stay”, “Love on the Brain”, “Diamonds”, and “We Found Love”
this video could have been hours long. each of rihanna’s singles has something exquisite going on. she’s a legend, she’s an icon, and she is the moment!!!!
Kiss it better is just amazing 🥰
Her non-singles really shine bright like a diamond. I will forever mention Fire Bomb as my all time favorite song from Robyn Fenty.
OOOOOOH we're about to get controversial.
My favorite is Only Girl, when i heard that song for the first time i said: "I'll never be the same person again, i want to feel in love like this"
Bi/Gay anthem
Me too and please don’t stop the music. I don’t know why people barely talk about that song.
@@LeahRicofs cause it sounds like a parody about her who...stopped the music 😬😬😬
@@leonardofabbri7930 i’m talking about the song “ please don’t stop the music” by Rihanna
@@leonardofabbri7930 or it’s probably “don’t stop the music”
i love unfaithful👉🏻👈🏻 her voice just sounds really good to me
Me too
THANK YOUUUUU for the video. Any Rihanna video. I miss Rihanna’s presence in the music industry. 😭 I will never stop listening to her music.
I used to hate “Don’t Stop the Music” growing up because it was overkill on the radio lol. Now that I’m older I realize it’s not that bad of a song just overplayed
its sooooo good tho! like the whole build up to the chorus is chef’s kiss
Wait your turn!!! Rihanna has always been that girl💕💕
Russian Roulette will forever be one of her best songs for me
Kiss it better is without a doubt my favorite Rihanna record. The song doesn’t seem fully fleshed out like there’s something definitely missing but it’s irresistible nevertheless. That whole album defined my late 20”s ❤️
Cheers (Drink To That) has Avril Lavigne sampled vocals too! In fact, I think Avril gave that song to her.
I think Rihanna payed her for the sample tho
Even when she is one of the biggest popstars from the past decades, I like how she is able to keep her private life somewhat out of the spotlight. Like regarding her child for example. I really respect her for not pushing any publicity onto them, like other celebrities like to do. She is just doing her own thing in her own way and still slaying

No, she wasn’t.
She was not doing anything GaGa like

the way kiss it better is on top is so surprising and satisfying at the same time😭
Stay is her best song easily.
I didn’t realise how much I loved some of these songs until I felt such deep hurt at some of your critiques!
The most consistent hit maker of the 21st century
2005 - debut era
2006 - sophomore era
2007 - superstar breakthrough era
2008 - superstar era continued
2009 - controversy / dark era (Russian Roulette & Hard did underperform but still moderate hits)
2010 - Rude Boy smashed saving the Rated R era and the huge Loud era begins
2011 - Loud continues smashing, WE FOUND LOVE, Talk That Talk era
2012 - Talk That Talk continued, DIAMONDS, Unapologetic era begins
2013 - Unapologetic continued, STAY was huge this year
2014 - Can’t Remember To Forget You, Monster

2016 - WORK, Anti era begins, Video Vanguard
2017 - Anti era continues, WILD THOUGHTS
2018 - Hiatus, Billionaire Mogul era begins😭

2015 also had pretty popular and amazing performance for BBHMM at the Billboard Music Awards tho
@@filipmarinkovic6281 your right I remember that. With the Lil’ Kim inspired outfit
Riri is the Queen of hits.....No lie
A lengthy Rihanna video?
I’m seated!
Man Down is her best song for me. I love everything about it
Crazy how you wouldn’t describe her as a “balladier” when some of her biggest and high acclaimed songs are ballad
Whew! Listen....Rihanna shines bright when she does Dancehall/Reggae tunes🔥🔥🔥🔥 You are so right, I wish she did a Dancehall/Reggae album😩
I love that you put Kiss it Better as number one! Definitely one of my favorite songs from her. There’s a very, very sexy vibe to that song. It’s my favorite from that album for sure.
I mean she’s still one of the top 10 most streamed artist on Spotify 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩 imagine the day she releases a new album that number will be huge
Rihanna making music? I remember.... 😭
for me, it has to be Love On The Brain. It is just so brilliant, from the simple yet effective production to the totally opposite - complex, vocal and emotional performance, but as effective, even more maybe. It is done so tastefully, and the violinsss, and the tone changes the way does the "ow ow ow oww" imitating a violin, and then saying word "violin" it in a lyric right after AND THEN the acual violin playing... i mean a masterpiece truly, and not only her best imo, but one of the best songs ever created.
I never liked “Love the way you Lie”. I remember back in high school forcing myself to listen to it and it always felt like it was missing something.
Same. Still hate it
@@colourqueen22 right people hype it up so much because of who’s singing/ rapping it when in reality it’s an extremely boring & underwhelming song
@phillinsogood heavy on underwhelming and got a part 2??? I'm like the biggest rih fan but nah...
@@colourqueen22 you just said you “still hate it” in your initial comment tho
@phillinsogood hey I think you misunderstood my reply. I hate it and don't understand why it got a part 2
I have to highly disagree on princess of china
absolutely!!!
Lift me up is such a great song if you were going through a lost at the time it hits so well. and it paired well with the movie honestly
It would’ve made more sense if Tems sung it.
man i love this format! can we get a madonna singles ranking??
yes!!!
LOVE THIS IDEA
I love when honest does vids on Rihanna. I always go back and watch them from time to time.
Surprised that I agreed with number one. I was never a huge Rihanna fan, but Anti by far is her best work in my opinion. And Kiss it Better just has this timelessness to it. Honestly I’m glad she (seemingly) ended her music career on such a high.
i wish cheers drink to that got more love 😞 its like one of my favorite’s off of loud
I'd love for you to cover Tyla or do a mini doc on Kelly Rowland's career
To be honest, she dont have any bad songs, seriously 😩
These kind of rankings are hard as FUCK because Rih is such a chameleon and like most of her singles do not sound the same. Some days I prefer Pop Rih and other days i prefer Reggae Rih like??
Unfaithful is everything. So is Rocstar.
Kiss It Better & What Now are my absolute favorites. Glad you like them as well:)
It's insane how many hits this girl has.
I personally would have put American Oxygen, Russian Roulette and Sledgehammer higher. All really meaningful songs that are deep when you really listen to the lyrics!
I so agree with Kiss It Better, it's SO AMAZING and ugh that GUITAR is just amazing. Also true about What Now, I love that song and how it's part ballad but also part drums/electronic and they mix so well together
Wow i forgot just how music RiRi has made. Man Down & Russian Roulette take my joint top spot ❤️
2:18 don’t you EVER SAY THAT ABOUT UNFAITHFUL YOU ARE DEAD WRONG
This! He’s trippin.
Russian roulette is her best song
Behind SOS
@@BbbPp-qf5vq SOS is definitely not her best song at all
🗣️ WHAT NOOOOOOOOOOOW? SOMEBODY TELL MEEEEEEE
I love how the best singles mostly landed on Loud 🔥kudos for keeping it real.
Man down she wasn't using her natural accent that's her trying a Jamaican accent😂 I'm Barbadian so I would know but that's still one of my fav song❤
We found love us really her best song
no
*I love the grounded reality of this channel!!!*
Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $47,000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD❤️
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
Wow that's huge, how do you make that much monthly?
I'm 35 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
Thanks to my co-worker (Scott) who suggested Mrs Maria Angelina🙏.
She's a licensed broker in the states 🇺🇸
Lemon should not be that low...it's a banger!!

Disturbia will forever be my favorite Rihanna single.
Finally some justice to kiss it better!
I Feel Like Ppl Don't Give A Girl Like Me It's Credit .... "We Ride" Was Always A Stand Out To Me And One Of Her Underrated Gems....
Please make this a series Honest I'm begging!
This was such a fun video 👏❤️ Rihanna sure does wear the crown 👑 would love to see a video on you ranking live performances!
We don't know what we have until it's gone
Rihanna we miss u
Ok I need to revisit some of these songs, I forgot how much I love Stay
Honestly surprised Birthday Cake wasn’t a single, at least the solo version instead of the Chris Brown Remix
Really enjoyed this and you seem the love Loud as much as I do. Also Anti of course.❤🖤
I'm not a big Rihanna fan but I do love quite a few songs: "We Ride", "Umbrella", "Shut Up And Drive", "Take A Bow", "Only Girl (In The World)", "U Da One", "Wild Thoughts", "The Monster", "Can't Remember To Forget You" & "Fly"
One of the BEST artist the Industry has given us 😍 her catalogue is isaneeee she doesn’t even need to drop anymore new music
7:07 and here I thought I was the only one that loves bbhmm- still don’t understand why it was on so many year-end worst lists 🤷♀️
That’s my shiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!
Unfaithful is a classic!
i actually love believe it 😭, but i love party next door
YES, Kiss It Better is her BEST song ❤
Where Have You Been had an awe drop back in the days.
It’s we found love, Man Down, we ride, te amo, S&M, luvn if u want, BBHMM, Where have U been, & Pour it up for me. Fresh off the Runway & Watch n learn was also SLEPT ON💯
My God…Kiss It Better is such a beautifully crafted song. Incredibly underrated but I’m so glad it was number one in your list. It’s probably my favourite song by Rihanna
I'm glad Don't Stop the Music is rannked so high!!! Truly one of her best!!!
Rehab and Kiss it better will never leave my Spotify wrapped. Rihanna is my fav artist ever and her hits are timeless!
Love Unfaithful though.
My Top 5 Rihanna singles would be:
Hard
Take a Bow
Kiss It Better
Umbrella
Work
this just reminded me what an incredible discography rihanna has
Please do Beyoncé next!
Wow,Rihanna is that girl.❤😊
She ain't got bad singles tho

Love this video can we get on Beyonce
PLEASE MAKE ONE ABOUT BEYONCÉ 😭😭
Kiss it better takes the cup🏆 and I totally agree with you regarding take care.

Saying Raining Men didn't need to be on Loud is WILD
You lost me when you said B better have my money was am all through banger 😂😂😂😂😂 oh dear!!!😂😂😂😂
Had to pause and go listen to California king bed cause that was one of my favesssssss 😂
te amo deserves more than being called "cute" 😤
