Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century Podcast: Rihanna (No. 3)
Rihanna is Billboard's No. 3 Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century -- listen to our podcast explaining why.
Host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard staff writer Kyle Denis and senior branded content producer/writer Walaa Elsiddig to remember the dazzling career of Robyn Rihanna Fenty. We also discuss how Rihanna shed early one-hit wonder (or two-hit wonder) worries to become a no-doubt A-lister, and how the assault from her superstar then-boyfriend (and the wildly unfair and inappropriate media coverage of the incident) cruelly interrupted what was one of the most incredible rises of the ’00s. Finally, we remember some great moments in Rihanna Social Media Clapback History, share memories of saucy Bad Gal lyrics getting us in trouble, and attempt some impromptu (and off-key) Rih-Yo duet recreations.
