Rihanna’s ANTI hits 10, “Love on the Brain” goes Diamond—again, no album in sight

Marking a decade since its release, Rihanna’s ANTI receives renewed praise as “Love on the Brain” becomes her eighth Diamond-certified single, stretching her lead as the RIAA’s most decorated female artist in this category. The track, a retro-tinged ballad, climbed to No. 5 on the Hot 100 in 2017.

Other ANTI tracks reap fresh certifications too—“Needed Me” and “Work” hit 12x and 11x Platinum, while deeper cuts like “Desperado” and “Consideration” earn multi-Platinum status. The album itself logs over 508 weeks on the Billboard 200, a record for a Black female artist.

Anti slips quietly into the record books, becoming the first album by a Black female solo artist to notch 500 weeks on the Billboard 200, landing at No. 134 a full decade after its 2016 debut. Rihanna, who’s been more visible in Fenty lab coats and baby carriers than in recording booths, reacts on X with a succinct “God ain’t forget bout me!”

The album originally spent two weeks at No. 1, carried by hits like “Work,” “Needed Me,” and “Love on the Brain,” while earning multiple Grammy nods. Ri also marks Barbados’ 59th year of independence, saluting new leadership in a parallel post.
