the age of 16 to pursue a recording career under the guidance of record
producer Evan Rogers. She subsequently signed a contract with Def Jam

In
2005, Rihanna released her debut studio album, Music of the Sun, which peaked
in the top ten of the Billboard 200 chart and features the Billboard Hot 100
top five hit single "Pon de Replay". In less than a year, she
released her second studio album, A Girl Like Me (2006), which peaked within
the top-five in the United States, and produced her first Hot 100 number one
single, "SOS". Rihanna's third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad
released in May 2007, spawned the international hit singles "Umbrella",
"Don't Stop the Music", "Take a Bow" and
"Disturbia", with an additional four singles being released. The
album was nominated for nine Grammy Awards, winning Best Rap/Sung Collaboration
for "Umbrella". Her fourth studio album Rated R (2009), produced the
top-ten singles "Russian Roulette", "Hard" and "Rude
Boy", with the latter achieving the number-one spot on the Billboard Hot
100. Loud (2010), Rihanna's fifth studio album, spawned the number-one hits
"Only Girl (In the World)", "What's My Name?" and
"S&M". "We Found Love" served as the lead single from
Rihanna's sixth studio album, Talk That Talk (2011). The song was an
international success, topping the charts in more than twenty countries.
