Rihanna becomes most-viewed YouTube.com artist
Written by . Published: June 19 2013
Rihanna has stolen pop star Justin Bieber's crown as the most-viewed artist on YouTube.com.
The Umbrella hitmaker passed Bieber's record on video-sharing channel VEVO by about two million views in the early hours of Tuesday (18Jun13).
The 19 year old still ranks higher than South Korean rapper Psy,
who boasts 3.1 billion views, thanks to his hit 2012 single Gangnam
Style, Eminem, Lady Gaga and Shakira.
The news comes at a rough time for the Baby singer - Bieber has
been caught up in a number of driving incidents and clashes with
the paparazzi of late, most recently on Monday night (17Jun13),
when he was accused of hitting a photographer with his car.
