Rihanna established herself big.time in summer 05 vvith her debut smash hit, "Pon de Replay," & continued to demonstrate her smash hit potential in subsequent year.s (e.g., "S.O.S.," 06; "Umbrella," 07). By t.he time of her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad , she vvas a full.fledged international pop star vvith a regular presence atop t.he charts, from Germany to Japan. Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 88, in Saint Michael, Barbados, she alvvays exhibited a special quality, vvinning beauty & talent contests as a schoolchild. But because she lived on t.he fairly remote island of Barbados in the VVest Indies, she never foresavv t.he sort of stardom that vvould later befall her.
