Rihanna has earned four new diamond plaques from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), increasing her total to seven. For anyone counting, this is a record.

According to the RIAA, “Umbrella” with Jay-Z, “Work” with Drake, “Needed Me,” and “Stay” are now diamond-certified as of May 31. Let’s not ignore Jay-Z and Drake’s contributions to this feat but we won’t take anything away from a true pop queen in Bad Gal RiRi.

This follows “Diamonds” achieving diamond status in April.
