Barbadian singer Rihanna celebrates her birthday on February 20. The singer-songwriter-turned-actress is a massive persona in Hollywood and has a fan following of millions. The singer has made fans groove to her tunes for long and recently even made them love her as an actress in the recently released Ocean's 8. The singer is all set to return with her new solo album this year and we are expecting some groundbreaking music. Apparently, it could be the reggae album that was in the works and while we are looking forward to hearing it, here's looking at some of Rihanna's best songs till now.

1. Umbrella

This is the song that will come to your mind the moment you say Rihanna. It was pretty much this song that put her in the map or we could say playlist in this case. The 2007 track with Jay Z became a masive sensation and you might hear it even today at some clubs. It was from the album 'Good Girl Gone Bad'. Rihanna's Birthday Challenge Is Trending On Twitter!

2. We Found Love

Another Rihanna album that was an instant hit was 'Talk That Talk'. The song "We Found Love" became a major club hit. For this song, Rihanna collaborated with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris and their deadly combination worked its wonder on charts. The music video of the song also won a Grammy award.

3. Love The Way You Lie

The combination of Rihanna's gorgeous voice and Eminem's rap was like a wet dream for her fans. Even though "Love The Way You Lie" was a part of Eminem's album and Rihanna was a featuring artist in the song, her amazing vocals stood strong even against the legendary rapper's. The hip-hop number is considered to be one of Eminem's best selling tracks and was nominated for five Grammys in the year it released.

4. Diamonds

Every time someone mentions diamonds, we bet you will end up singing "Shine Bright Like A Diamond". Yes, this Rihanna song from her 2012 album titled Unapologetic is one of the most famed tracks of the singer that topped charts in nearly 20 countries.

5. Work

Yet another collaboration of Rihanna along with Canadian rapper Drake, "Work"  hit the Billboards No 1. In her career, Rihanna achieved this feat fourteen times and "Work" was one of those big numbers.

6. Rude Boy

"Rude Boy" from Rihanna's fourth studio album was another track that managed to hit the No 1 at US Billboard Hot 100. This song also became Rihanna's sixth single to reach No 1 in US.

7. SOS

Most of Rihanna's songs are known to be club hits, especially SOS. The thumping beats of the song pushed it to become number one at US Hot Dance Club songs. The song had three music videos including one for a lingerie brand and another for Nike.

We hope you enjoy listening to Rihanna's best songs on her birthday. The Barbadian singer is sure to get you in a good mood for weekday work. Listening to some of her old tracks such as "Umbrella" could even put you in a throwback mode. Most parties don't go on without one Rihanna song. Which one's your go-to party number by Rihanna?
