They also call her a cultural ICON, only the hipster chanteuse

We Found Love (2011)
The road through the last five years is littered with massive Rihanna singles. The stretch covered by this list represents the moment she was busily making her name as a cultural icon, and at least half of her future The Immaculate Collection will come from this period. But of all of them, "We Found Love" might be the most enduring and powerful, the one that will live on in cruise ships, football stadiums, ads, and political campaigns. It is her "Like a Prayer", and it features her most uplifting melody, one that could easily be rewritten as a hymnal. The hook, which repeats endlessly throughout the song, locates the center of the arc where "vague" meets "universal," a dizzy place where large masses of people can pour their collective emotions. —Jayson Greene
I have been saying Umbrella is her Like a Virgin, WFL is her Like a Prayer and Diamonds is her Vogue in terms of signature hits! Even the timing is the exact same. Black Madonna strikes again!
I see Rihanna,
aka the trendsetter, Empress of Pop, the ICON, the Black Madonna,
the one-person Beatles, the fashion killa, the Albert Einstein of pop music
has some of you girls a bit upset

I've honestly thought about equating WFL to Like A Prayer, minus the whole controversy and cultural progression. It was huge and propelled Rih to further star power.
