Rihanna’s career found great success in 2011, especially after her 2010 album, Loud. The album includes all-time hits like “S&M,” along with collaborations with Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Eminem. Previous to this milestone with Calvin Harris, Rihanna’s name was already on the small list of diamond tracks in the US. Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna is diamond-certified. But living up to the title of her 2012 hit “Diamonds,” “We Found Love” is Rihanna’s first appearance on this list as a track’s lead artist.
DJ Calvin Harris also made his way into the US music scene around 2011 as EDM began sparking people’s interest. Right before collaborating with Rihanna for the first time, “Feel So Close” came to the public. As another timeless hit, the feel-good song has hit over 700 million Spotify streams. The US love for EDM was still blossoming, and after “We Found Love,” Harris’ career took off. Now having tens of millions of listeners, fans can’t get enough of the DJ’s amazing remixes. “We Found Love” marks a huge milestone for Calvin Harris as his first diamond-certified track in the US.

Calvin Harris and Rihanna are both incredibly talented and when the two come together, they make an unstoppable team. “We Found Love” isn’t a one-hit-wonder for them. With over 1 billion streams, the duo’s 2016 collaboration, “This Is What You Came For,” shows itself to be yet another fan favorite.
