4. Her debut single was "Pon de Replay" and it peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Jay Z actually heard the song and thought that it was too big for Rihanna, as she was just starting out and it would be too hard to create more music as popular.

Trying to decide if this is a creepy or cool accomplishment?
