Twenty years after she released her debut album, Rihanna<\/a> is back with new music. Well, sort of.<\/p>\n

On Aug. 29, 2005, she released her first studio album, “Music of the Sun,” which featured the hit song “Pon de Replay.” Since her debut two decades ago, Rihanna<\/a> has soared to superstardom, eclipsing expectations in the music world with 14 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 songs<\/a> and nine Grammy wins<\/a> (as well as 34 nominations).<\/p>\n

To celebrate her success in the music business and beyond, Rihanna is releasing “R20” merch and a vinyl album boxed set, which are available for pre-order on her official online store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rihanna officially becomes a billionaire and Forbes names her the ‘richest female musician’<\/a><\/p>\n

The songstress herself shared a sweet note on Friday, Aug. 29, thanking her fans and those who “gave me a chance over the years.”<\/p>\n

“20 years ago, i left my country, my culture, my food, and family to embark on a journey that started with the release of my very first body of music!” she wrote in an Instagram caption<\/a> alongside a montage of her biggest career moments. “Thank you for the greatest first 20 years ever!”<\/p>\n

She went on to shout out “the most loyal, die-hard fans that don\u2019t play about me whatsoever,” her “hardworking teams” and “my family being my number one support system.” Rihanna’s message ended with one last note of gratitude: “I thank God, He\u2019s been very generous to me and the Glory belongs to Him!”<\/p>\n
