Rihanna overtakes Justin Bieber as most viewed artist on YouTube

Bajan sensation Rihanna can celebrate yet another milestone in her impressive career today (June 18) as she has now passed Justin Bieber in YouTube views. 

The 'Umbrella' beauty currently has 77 videos on her official VEVO channel and together they have a combined 3.784 billion views. Bieber, meanwhile, has only 2 more at 79 and his total views are now 2 million less than Rihanna's as he was overtaken this morning. 

At the moment, Rihanna has 8.73 million subscribers on the video hosting site while the Canadian hitmaker only has 4.9 million, which could explain the rise in her viewing statistics. 

Where other social media sites are concerned, Bieber's Twitter followers dwarf Rihanna's as he is currently at 40.5 million and she is dragging behind with only 30 million. On Facebook, Rihanna has 72.3 million 'likes' while Bieber has just 54.4 million.
