Rihanna has become a modern music, entertainment and fashion
icon. As an accomplished performer, she has sold 54 million
albums and 210 million digital tracks worldwide making
her the top-selling digital artist of all time. She's
released 7 albums in 7 years, achieved 13 Number One singles and
won 8 Grammy Awards. She is the most viewed artist on
Vevo/YouTube with over 7 billion views and 23 Vevo certified
videos, the most of any artist. She is also one of the
biggest artists on Facebook with over 81 million friends. In
addition, she's successfully launched six fragrances, two
capsule collections with Armani, as well as four River Island collections and is currently the
spokesperson for MAC & Viva Glam
and the new face of Dior's "Secret Garden" campaign. Rihanna is
PUMA's global ambassador for Women's Training and now serves
as the Creative Director, bringing her styling
sensibilities and innovation to PUMA's collections. As of
July 2015, Rihanna will also serve as
Contributing Creative Director and Punk & Poet brand ambassador
for Stance.
The Weeknd's path to Beauty Behind The
Madness has defied all conventions. He avoided revealing
his face until over a year after he released his very first song
online. The story itself is now legendary. In 2011, he released an
untouchable series of three critically revered free mixtapes —
House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence — and the
internet exploded with praise and a whole lot of theories about him
as he personally remained silent. Soon though, his reach and appeal
exponentially expanded. He teamed up with Ariana
Grande for the platinum-selling hit "Love Me Harder." He then
had the mainstream completely in his grip with the release of
"Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)" in early 2015. The first release
from the chart-dominating, platinum Fifty Shades of Grey
Original Motion Picture soundtrack became a
triple-platinum smash that enjoyed 27 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100.
"Can't Feel My Face" formally ushered in Beauty Behind The
Madness. The song quickly shot to #1 on iTunes worldwide and
within weeks, it reached #1 on the Billboard Hot
100. Beauty Behind The Madness went
gold just two weeks after being released. In
addition, "The Hills" has officially been certified 5x platinum as
recognized by the RIAA. The Weeknd has also become a touring force.
The 2014 King Of The Fall Tour sold out all dates as did the 2015
The Madness Fall Tour and since then, The Weeknd's festival
appearances, including Coachella, Lollapalooza and HARD
Summer, have drawn massive crowds.
