Rihanna’s official Top 40 biggest songs ever
26 October 2022 | By Carl Smith

Look, we totally get that Rihanna's busy with her baby boy, business ventures and that upcoming baseball game, but we're absolutely gagging for some new music.

Well now, with RiRi announcing her NFL Super Bowl halftime show slot and rumours swirling of a Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack song or two, it seems we might be in luck.

As we keep everything crossed for our first, proper Rihanna music since 2016 album ANTI, we thought it was about time we gave you an update on her Official Top 40 biggest songs in the UK so far.

From 2005 debut Pon De Replay to collaborations with the likes of Eminem, Calvin Harris, David Guetta and actual Paul McCartney, it's a discography that cements RiRi as one of the 21st century's most influential artists.

Before we get to the full list, let's delve into the Top 5, shall we?

5. Diamonds
Released: 2012
Official Singles Chart peak: 1
Total UK chart units: 1.94 million
The first track lifted from her 2012 LP Unapologetic, Sia-penned single Diamonds has shifted total UK chart units of 1.94 million to date; including 1.1 million downloads and 103 million streams.

4. Work (Rihanna featuring Drake)
Released: 2016
Official Singles Chart peak: 2
Total UK chart units: 1.95 million
The lead single from her eighth studio album ANTI, Drake duet Work comes in at Number 4 on RiRi's all-time list. The track, which peaked at Number 2 on the Official Singles Chart behind Lukas Graham's 7 Years, boasts total UK streams of 178 million and counting.

3. This Is What You Came For (Calvin Harris featuring Rihanna)
Released: 2016
Official Singles Chart peak: 2
Total UK chart units: 2.2 million
Rihanna's feature on 2016 Calvin Harris track This Is What You Came For (famously including a writing credit from Taylor Swift - initially under the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg), is her third-biggest track in the UK so far. It's also worth nothing that the collab is Rihanna's most-streamed song to date. Since its release, the song's accumulated a total of 200 million streams across audio and video platforms.

2. We Found Love (Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris)
Released: 2011
Official Singles Chart peak: 1
Total UK chart units: 2.4 million
RiRi's second Calvin team-up to make her all-time Top 5, lead Talk That Talk single We Found Love slips one place on this place since our last update. A true product of the early 2010s, though, We Found Love remains Rihanna's most-downloaded single. The track boasts a total of 1.4 million downloads in the UK to date.

1. Love The Way You Lie (Eminem featuring Rihanna)
Released: 2010
Official Singles Chart peak: 2
Total UK chart units: 2.6 million
Reigning atop the list of Rihanna's Official biggest songs in the UK is Eminem feature Love The Way You Lie. Lifted from the Detroit rapper's 2010 album Recovery, the song has racked up combined streams of 181 million since its release; with its total chart units standing at 2.6 million to date.

It’s the most downloaded single in the digital era and one of the biggest songs of the 2010’s. It’s not just massive there, it’s one of the biggest Digitals singles ever made

Eminem is the 4th best selling artists in uk this century 

[Jynx]

Only Girl being the second highest solo song. 

[Phuccery, Inc.]

Needed me barely peaking inside the top 40 is insane. It was massive in the US. 

[zzmyth]

The fact that she has songs below this list still above 400K and gold certified is INSANE. 

 

She has 20 songs above 1M ?

Love On the brain is around 700K and Platinum... And it peaked at #124.... ?? 

 

I can see it moving to the million club with time TBH. 

 

I would love to see it repeaking inside the Top100 when new music comes

[HeWolf]

Not her having 40 singles with over 500k units
