We all know and love Rihanna. She's a total superstar in every sense of the word. It was very hard, but I've narrowed the selection down to only five songs by her that are just so necessary.

5. Rude Boy

This Rated R classic always has the club gyrating. Here, we hear Riri tap into her Caribbean roots, and blend it with her own little twist. The gritty island beat instantly made this track a Rihanna Classic. Upon its release in 2010, this track peaked at number 1 on the BillBoard hot 100, becoming Rihanna's 6th single to reach that honor. It is currently 5x Platinum certified.

4. Dancing In The Dark

This 2015 track was written for the 2015 animated film, Home. It has an upbeat, pop-style beat that's instantly catchy. Though it did not chart well, it's still a Classic Rihanna.

3. Love On The Brain

This song broke many records for Rihanna. She is now the 2nd female artist in history to have the most Billboard Top 10 hits, right after Madonna. This is her 30th top 10 hit. This song has a '50s Motown vibe, so it's very old school. Rihanna mixes love and addiction into a beautiful masterpiece.

2. Umbrella

This Good Girl Gone Bad single earned Riri a grammy, and two VMA awards. This 2007 track is arguably Rihanna's biggest hit to date, as it helped her break so many records. Any member of the Rihanna Navy will tell you that this is as classic Rihanna as you can get.

1. Needed Me

Didn't we tell you that she is a savage?

This single off of her latest LP Anti has been a huge success for the Barbadian artist. With a catchy chorus, and a fairly relatable message, it's no surprise that this song went number 1.
