In relation to her contemporaries, yes. 8 years is quite a feat. And with an album dropping next year, she'll definitely reach a decade and then comes her greatest hits. Rih will be in the industry as long as she wants to be in it.

Pretty much this. Not to mention all the records she's broken chart wise too.

Yes, when you consider the fact that Rihanna is still able to double and even triple her past successes while some of her peers who debuted after her are fading.

Unfortunately, eight years is not "longevity".

Very true. Good for Rihanna but sadly it's an insult to artists who have survived two decades or more.

I think they'd be better of just doing a PowerPoint with screencaps of her iTunes positions and Instagram posts.

Her ability to bring anything she sings to life with her iconic and versatile voice and make numerous WORLDWIDE hits.
Her utter star quality appeal.
Her ability to literally jump from genre to genre with such ease.
Her fashion statements and impact in the fashion world.
Her personality.

Why does the duration matter when Rih has accomplished more than most girls who've been in the game for longer? It's about the final product and not about how long you've been attempting to play the game to no avail.
