Ri-Ri + anyone = awesome.

Ri-Ri & Associates - Rihanna is the ultimate chart queen. With 13 No. 1's already under her belt it's easy to overlook collaborations that added to her epic aura of cool. While some did land the Bajan beauty at No. 1 some are actually under-the-radar diamonds. Check 'em out. —Jon Reyes(Photo: Christopher Polk/Getty Images for CBS Radio Inc.)

'Run This Town' With Jay Z and Kanye West (2009) - This trio would be the ones to deliver the ultimate “Roc Anthem,” paired with a video that was packed to the brim with militant imagery. While it didn’t get to top the charts, it made it all the way to the No. 2 spot. Ye must have been tight.(Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage)

'Livin’ a Lie' With The-Dream (2007) - Featured on The-Dream’s debut album, this album cut was absolutely angst ridden with a superb delivery by Ri-Ri. Even though it included some of the same “eh eh”’s that made “Umbrella” so contagious, “Livin’ a Lie” is near classic.(Photo: Johnny Nunez/WireImage)

'Live Your Life' With T.I. (2008) - T.I.’s pairing with Rihanna would give the Atlanta rapper his second and last No. 1 — it would be Rihanna’s fifth chart topper. As pop-glittery as the single may be, it's a testament to T.I.'s massive appeal and Rihanna’s ability to take anyone with her.(Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

'Fly' With Nicki Minaj (2010) - “Inspiration on steroids” would be another name for this track off Nicki’s Pink Friday. Though the pair would collaborate on Rihanna’s Loud album with “Raining Men,” it didn't quite recapture the epic-ness of this amazing hook.(Photo: Johnny Nunez/WireImage)
