As the days and months roll on, album number eight continues to prove itself to be a success for Rihanna. Delivering it’s lead single ‘Work,’ and the accompanying album, ANTI, in the same day, Rihanna has took off in full speed and hasn’t looked back since its release. With some feeling that it’s Rihanna’s most intriguing and high quality album to date, the album has seen much success on the commercial side of things. In particular, Rihanna’s streaming power has become a true testament and it works in her favor thanks to the RIAA rule change that now incorporates streaming into its certification process.
Today, more accolades come to the way of Rihanna as she lands the first double platinum album of 2016 with ANTI. Furthermore, the Pop star also finds herself having the first triple platinum song of the year as ‘Work’ has officially been certified 3x platinum.
