She's an icon at most. Where is her iconic performance? An iconic look? Pure talent? Her timeless album? The change in the industry? Breaking boundaries and risks? A respectable, acclaimed artist?

The singer has accumulated fourteen number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart for the third most number ones in chart's history.[284] She has been named the top Mainstream Top 40 chart artist of the past twenty years by Billboard; she ranks first with most entries (36), most top tens (23), and most number ones (10).[285] As of March 2014, Rihanna has sold over 18 million singles and six million albums in the United Kingdom.[286][287] She is the tenth best-selling[288] and the second best-selling female singles artist in the country, only behind Madonna[289] and is second only to The Beatles for the most million-selling singles in the UK of all time.[290] In August 2013, Rihanna was named the 15th biggest US Billboard Hot 100 artist of all time,[291] becoming the highest ranking newcomer on the list since the last time Billboard compiled all time artists in 2008.[292] In the same month, Billboard ranked Rihanna the top Hot 100 artist of the 2010s decade.[5]
Known for reinventing her style and image, Rihanna's music and fashion sense are noted by the media.[224] In 2009, New York magazine described Rihanna's early look as that of a cookie-cutter teen queen, noting she has the ability to shift looks dramatically and with great ease
Rihanna's work has directly influenced a number of contemporary artists such as Little Mix,[293] Selena Gomez,[294] Justin Bieber,[295] Ellie Goulding,[296] Tegan and Sara,[297] [298] Jessie J,[299] Cover Drive,[300] Fifth Harmony,[301] Demi Lovato,[302] and Willow Smith.[303] Rihanna has an honorary title of Ambassador for Culture and Youth in Barbados.[304] Additionally, Rihanna has become a dominating figure in social media and internet streaming, ranking at number one on Forbes' 2012 list of Social Networking Superstars.[305] In 2013, Rihanna was also named the most influential pop star in the United Kingdom by UK channel 4Music.[306] Time magazine created a pop star ranking metric in 2014, measuring artist's number of hits, chart placement, and longevity since 1960. Rihanna was ranked second, only behind Mariah Carey
Taj Rani of Billboard stated "Work" has brought the genre of dancehall to the forefront of American music (again), as it became the first dancehall song to top the Billboard Hot 100 since Sean Paul's "Temperature" did so in 2006. She opined the song is a prime example of "an unapologetic black woman proudly showing her heritage at a time when our politics are dominated by #BlackLivesMatter and Donald Trump’s racist, xenophobic and misogynistic tirades." Rani continued to state that although mainstream critics are uncomfortable with Rihanna’s use of patois (describing it as "gibberish"), she is able to display West Indian culture front and center without appropriation from mainstream culture.
