According to Billboard, RiRi scored over 2,068,076,591 YouTube hits over the weekend, taking the record from Lady G - who previously held the title after becoming the first musician to hit over one billion views on the video site back in October 2010.
Since achieving the feat, GaGa has failed to emulate the success of multimillion viewed Bad Romance and Telephone, with her more recent efforts You And I and Marry The Night just edging past the 49 and 31 million mark respectively.
In comparison, RiRi's We Found Love has already topped 115 million views in just three months, with What’s My Name (230 million), Rude Boy (185 million), Man Down (133 million) and California King Bed (102 million) also contributing to her overall total.
After learning of her achievement, the Bajan babe took to Twitter to thank her fans, writing: "First chic to EVER reach 2 BILLION views on VEVO!!!! Congrats #RihannaNavy!!!! #QueenzOfVEVO. My fans run dis world!"
Justin Bieber still remains YouTube's most popular act, with his videos - including online hit Baby - earning him well over 2.2 billion views.
