Rihanna has been named RIAA's top-selling digital artist

Songstress Rihanna has achieved a new certification level in the USA with her 2012 full-length offering, 'Unapologetic'

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) shared the exciting news in a tweet and explained that she has gone double Platinum. "@rihanna earns 2X Platinum for #Unapologetic! She's @RIAA’s #1 digital single artist too." 

The RIAA also confirmed that Rihanna is its top-selling digital artist, shifting over 105 million units. Her nearest competitor is Taylor Swift, who is currently in second place, with 97.5 million units sold. 

Rihanna, meanwhile, is offering school pupils financial assistance through her Clara Lionel Foundation:

"I don't think it's fair that children carry the burden of financial limitations at such a young age. We launched the CLF grants initiative this year. These are basic needs that these children don't have in these schools - something as simple as clean bathrooms. We want college graduates in our programme."
