Overview
- On Jan. 28, the RIAA issued new certifications for nine ANTI tracks, including a Diamond plaque for “Love on the Brain,” extending Rihanna’s record for the most Diamond singles by a female artist.
- ANTI remains certified six-times Platinum and has logged more than 508 weeks on the Billboard 200, the longest run ever for an album by a Black female artist.
- Rihanna marked the anniversary with an Instagram Reel of 2016-era footage, captioning it, “my 2016 post wins,” and highlighting the album’s milestones.
- Since releasing ANTI in 2016, she has largely paused album cycles to build Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty and to focus on family, releasing only select singles and soundtrack songs.
- Rihanna has said she has “cracked the code” for her ninth album and that it will not be commercial or radio-friendly, though no release date has been announced.
