RiRi doing numbers
Her album has only been out for about a day and some change and Rihanna is already out putting up digits with the release of ANTI.
The RIAA has announced today than in the short time it has been available, ANTI has already reached platinum certification, making it her 7th album to reach such status. Apparently, the effort is the fastest album to reach platinum certification.
ANTI is a TIDAL exclusive and has not appeared on other streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, but it is on iTunes for sale. It seems like the formula of keeping it out of those platforms worked for RiRi, following suit to Adele, who chose not to make 25 available when it was released (and now she’s at near diamond certification). Whether the album will show up on other streaming services and/or is a preview of more from Rihanna remains to be seen, but there have been some hints that she might be locked and loaded with a part two of the album.
Either way, the baddest bish out here is moving units.
