Don’t feel left out if you’ve never heard of the AMA Icon Award before. There’s a legitimate reason you have no idea what an Icon Award is or why Rihanna deserves one. This year marks the first time the American Music Awards‘ AMA Icon Award will ever be given to an artist.
 
Producer Larry Klein spoke about the award and Rihanna: “The first-ever Icon Award was created to honor an artist whose body of work has made a profound influence over pop music on a global level. Rihanna’s iconic and innovative sound has enabled her to become one of the most influential and best-selling artists of all time.”
 
Rihanna has sold over 50 million albums, 180 million digital tracks, and has earned six Grammy Awards.
