Rihanna gave her fans a sexy behind-the-scenes look on what it takes to become a beautiful award-winning pop singer with a revealing picture she posted on Monday.

The Stay singer was photographed topless getting ready backstage for her concert at Philips Arena in Atlanta on April 22. In the photo, the Bajan beauty is practically in the buff except for a pair of yellow underwear. For censorship purposes (and out of respect for her hairstylist) she is holding a towel against her chest which showed off major tanned bikini lines.

"Show time!! #DWT," Rihanna wrote on Instagram. "#ATL is all miiiiiinnneee!!!! I want you on your WORST behavior!!! Tonight is all about you!!! #DiamondsWorldTour."

Before Rihanna posted the topless picture, she posted several messages that indicated her excitement about her recent success mentioned in Billboard on Monday. Billboard announced that she had broken the record for most pop songs by one artist. Her latest single, Stay, is her tenth no. 1 hit. 

"It's a big day in Billboard history!!!! We Rihwrite records over here! #youcantgetin...," she said. "I owe this to my fans and to Billboard! Thank you for the love! It's pretty major!..."

Later, she shared on Instagram that she received ten nominations at this year's Billboard Awards, writing, "I owe this to my fans and to Billboard! Thank you for the love! It's pretty major! #BillboardMusicAwardz #10Nominations #1Love."
