Though Rihanna is already considered one of the most successful artists in Billboard history—ranking third for most Hot 100 No. 1s with 14, behind only The Beatles and Mariah Carey—her dominance has been primarily anchored in past decades. On the Pop Airplay chart, she shares the record for the second-most No. 1s alongside Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, and Justin Bieber, trailing only Taylor Swift.
Yet in recent years, her chart activity has slowed, largely due to a near-decade-long hiatus from releasing new music. Despite this, Rihanna is steadily climbing on several Billboard charts, including those introduced after her break, such as the Top Streaming Albums tally, which ranks the most-consumed full-length albums and EPs across platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
Anti’s Streaming Success
Anti first appeared on the Top Streaming Albums chart last week at No. 42. Its rise to No. 40 marks not only a personal best for Rihanna on this list but also her first album to spend more than a single week within the 50-spot ranking.
This milestone adds to a growing history of streaming chart entries. Rihanna’s earlier album, Good Girl Gone Bad, briefly appeared at No. 49 in November 2025 but did not maintain a presence on the chart.
Multiple Chart Moves in the U.S.
This week, Anti charts on four separate Billboard lists, climbing on all but one. It rises from No. 18 to No. 16 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums ranking and nears 250 weeks on the list—a testament to its lasting popularity. On the Billboard 200, the album jumps from No. 54 to No. 45. Its sole static position is on the Top R&B Albums chart, where it remains at No. 6.
Meanwhile, Good Girl Gone Bad also sees renewed activity. The album advances nearly 10 spots on the Billboard 200 to No. 87, sits at No. 34 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and holds steady at No. 11 on Top R&B Albums.
Global Streaming Presence
Although none of Rihanna’s singles are currently charting on U.S.-specific Billboard lists, her songs maintain global traction. “Love on the Brain” appears on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. “We Found Love,” her hit with Calvin Harris, dips more than 10 spots on the Global Excl. U.S. list, while “Don’t Stop the Music” re-enters the Billboard Global 200 at the lower end of the 200-position ranking.
Rihanna’s continued presence on both domestic and international charts underscores the staying power of her catalog, even as she slowly returns from one of the longest creative pauses of her career.
