Robyn Rihanna Fenty, nota semplicemente come Rihanna (Saint Michael, 20 febbraio 1988), è una cantante, modella, attrice, imprenditrice e diplomatica barbadiana.

Si è trasferita negli Stati Uniti d'America all'età di 16 anni grazie a un contratto discografico, sotto la guida di Evan Rogers. Ha debuttato nel 2005 all'età di 17 anni con l'album Music of the Sun, entrato alla decima posizione della Billboard 200, e il singolo di successo Pon de Replay, che ha raggiunto la seconda posizione della Billboard Hot 100. Nel 2006 è stata la volta del secondo album A Girl like Me, il cui singolo di lancio SOS è divenuto la sua prima hit numero uno nella classifica statunitense, mentre nel 2007 ha consolidato ulteriormente la sua già affermata notorietà mondiale con il terzo album Good Girl Gone Bad e alle sue riedizioni, da cui sono stati estratti i singoli Umbrella, Don't Stop the Music, Disturbia e Take a Bow.

Dopo Rated R, uscito nel 2009, portato al successo grazie ai singoli Russian Roulette e Rude Boy, è tornata nel 2010 con il quinto album Loud, da cui vengono estratti i singoli di successo Only Girl (in the World), What's My Name? e S&M. Nel 2011 ha pubblicato il sesto album Talk That Talk, contenente il singolo We Found Love con Calvin Harris, diventato il più venduto della cantante. Nel 2012 è stato rilasciato il settimo album Unapologetic, contenente le hit mondiali Diamonds e Stay, cui ha fatto poi seguito una pausa di quattro anni fino al ritorno sulle scene musicali con l'ottavo album Anti (2016). Nel 2022, grazie al brano Lift Me Up, facente parte della colonna sonora del film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, ha ricevuto una candidatura sia ai Golden Globe che ai Premi Oscar 2023 come miglior canzone originale.

In oltre vent'anni di carriera ha venduto oltre 250 milioni di copie tra album e singoli digitali, di cui 100 milioni solo entro i confini statunitensi, che la pongono tra gli artisti di maggior successo nella storia della musica. Ha ottenuto quattordici singoli al primo posto e 30 nella top 10 della Billboard Hot 100 risultando la terza artista in assoluto ad avere più hit al numero uno della classifica statunitense. Il 31 maggio 2024 diventa l'artista donna con il maggior numero di singoli certificati disco di diamante negli Stati Uniti d'America, ossia sette. Dal 2021 Rihanna risulta essere l'artista femminile più ricca del mondo secondo la rivista Forbes, che le attribuisce un patrimonio stimato di circa 1,7 miliardi, e nel 2022 la stessa rivista l'ha dichiarata la più giovane miliardaria degli Stati Uniti d'America, nonché una delle donne più potenti al mondo.

Durante la sua carriera Rihanna ha accumulato nove Grammy Award (prima artista della sua nazione ad aggiudicarsi il prestigioso riconoscimento), tredici American Music Award, un ugual numero di Billboard Music Award e due BRIT Award, oltre ad aver ricevuto un riconoscimento speciale, l'Icon Award, agli American Music Awards del 2013 per aver influenzato profondamente la cultura pop a livello globale e il Fashion Icon Award del 2014 dal Council of Fashion Designers of America.

Il 21 settembre 2018 Mia Mottley, primo ministro di Barbados, ha nominato Rihanna ambasciatrice straordinaria e plenipotenziaria, affidandole la responsabilità di promuovere il sistema educativo, il turismo e gli investimenti per l'isola. Il 30 novembre 2021, nell'ambito della cerimonia di proclamazione della repubblica di Barbados, Rihanna viene nominata «eroina nazionale» dalla presidente Sandra Mason.

Christopher Maurice Brown (born May 5, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, dancer, and actor. A pop and hip-hop-influenced R&B musician who works in a variety of genres, he has been called the "King of R&B" by some of his contemporaries. His lyrics often address emotional and hedonistic themes. His singing and dancing skills have often been compared favorably to those of Michael Jackson.

In 2004, Brown signed with Jive Records. The following year, he released his eponymous debut studio album, which went triple platinum. Brown topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart with his debut single, "Run It!", making him the first male artist since 1995 to do so. His second album, Exclusive (2007), was commercially successful worldwide and spawned his second Billboard Hot 100 number-one single, "Kiss Kiss".

In 2009, Brown faced significant controversy and media attention when he was arrested for and plead guilty to felony assault of singer and then-girlfriend Rihanna, for which he was sentenced to five years probation with six months community service. The same year, he released his third album, Graffiti, which was considered to be a commercial failure. He released his fourth album F.A.M.E. (2011), which was his first album to top the Billboard 200. The album contained three commercially successful singles—"Yeah 3x", Diamond certified "Look at Me Now" and "Beautiful People"—and earned him the Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. His fifth album, Fortune, released in 2012, topped the Billboard 200.

Following the releases of X (2014) and Royalty (2015), both peaking in the top three of the Billboard 200, his eighth album, Heartbreak on a Full Moon (2017), a double-disc LP consisting of 45 tracks, was certified gold for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over 500,000 after one week, and later certified double platinum. Brown's ninth studio album, Indigo (2019) found similar success, debuting atop the Billboard 200. It included the single "No Guidance" which broke the record for longest-running number one on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. Its chart success was outdone with the single "Go Crazy" released the following year, which broke Brown's own record for longest-running number one. In 2022, his Indigo album spawned a sleeper hit with its song "Under the Influence", which was re-released as a single.

Brown has sold over 140 million records worldwide, making him one of the world's best-selling music artists. He has gained a cult following, and is one of the highest-grossing African American touring artists of all time. Brown holds the record for the most top 40 hits of any R&B singer in history, the most RIAA gold-certified singles of any male singer in history, and the most RIAA multi-platinum singles of any male singer in history. In 2019, Billboard named Brown the third most successful artist of the 2010s decade in R&B and hip-hop music, behind Drake and Rihanna. Brown has won 209 awards from 534 nominations over the course of his career. He has also pursued an acting career. In 2007, he made his feature film debut in Stomp the Yard, and appeared as a guest on the television series The O.C. Other films include This Christmas (2007), Takers (2010), Think Like a Man (2012) and Battle of the Year (2013).
