Rihanna's 'Anti' Album Achieves Career High on Top Streaming Albums Chart
Rihanna has solidified her status as one of the most successful artists in Billboard chart history, ranking third for the most No. 1 hits on the Hot 100, behind only The Beatles and Mariah Carey. She shares the second most No. 1s on the Pop Airplay chart with Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, and Justin Bieber, trailing behind Taylor Swift. Throughout her career, Rihanna has achieved remarkable success on various Billboard charts, although her recent lack of releases has impacted her rankings. This week, Rihanna achieves a new career high by landing her first top 40 hit on the Top Streaming Albums chart, with her album "Anti" climbing to No. 40.
"Anti" made its debut on the Top Streaming Albums chart last week, marking Rihanna's first appearance on this particular ranking. The chart, introduced by Billboard a few years ago, measures the success of full-length albums and EPs on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Rihanna's album "Anti" has steadily climbed the chart, reaching a new career peak at No. 40 this week. This achievement is significant as it is the first time one of her albums has spent more than one week on the top 50 of this chart.
Rihanna's album "Good Girl Gone Bad" also made an appearance on the Top Streaming Albums chart back in November 2025, debuting at No. 49. While the album quickly dropped off the chart, it remains one of Rihanna's early successes that helped establish her as a global music icon. "Anti" continues to perform well on various Billboard charts this week, climbing on most of them. The album moves up two spots on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, reaching No. 16, and approaches the top 40 on the Billboard 200, rising to No. 45. Additionally, "Anti" maintains its position in the top 10 on the Top R&B Albums chart, holding steady at No. 6.
In contrast, "Good Girl Gone Bad" sees a resurgence on three of the four charts where "Anti" is present. The album jumps nearly 10 spots on the Billboard 200, currently sitting at No. 87, and moves to No. 34 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It also remains just outside the top 10 on the Top R&B Albums chart, securing the 11th spot. While Rihanna's albums continue to perform well in the U.S., her hit songs are absent from specific Billboard charts focused on American consumption. However, tracks like "Love on the Brain," "We Found Love," and "Don't Stop the Music" maintain global success on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts.
