Just recently Rihanna made headlines for securing her 30th top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100! She actually passed Michael Jackson who reached 29 top Billboard Hits but joins the only two, artists who have at least 30 Hot 100 top 10s. Madonna has 38 & The Beatles have 34. 

Well, Riri is on a roll because she was just named the 2017 Harvard University Humanitarian of The Year award. RiRi earned this honor for her charity work with Clara and Lionel Foundation Scholarship Program which promotes education for Carribean students to enroll in college in the United States.

“Rihanna has charitably built a state of the – the art center for oncology and nuclear medicine to diagnose and treat breast cancer at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown, Barbados,” said the Harvard Foundation’s director S. Allen Counter.
