Album still in the top 100 after over a year *.* The total sales (UK wise) are rather disappointing for ANTI but 200k is still good and the album has spent more weeks in the chart than Unapologetic and TTT! Streaming has helped it a lot, it hasn't been in the top 100 album sales chart since September I don't think.

Listened to this album in full today whilst at work and I really enjoyed it. Can’t believe just next month this will be 3 years old! I still remember the day it came out I pulled a sickie so I could listen to it the joys of being able to do that with nothing happening to me laugh.gif

I found I really appreciated it more listening today and it almost felt like the first time I’d heard it as I’d not listened to anything from this era in what felt like an age. I’ve been bashing her old stuff lately so anything from 2012 onwards Id been sidelining.

What an album though! Definitely made the shift go faster I even replayed most of the songs again for a second listen.

Desperado is my new fave, and I still adore Never Ending, Love On The Brain, Kiss It Better and Close To You.

Three years since ANTI was released! I loved her post about the album on Instagram. I've not gone back to this for a while because it holds memories, some of which I'd rather not revisit, from my last relationship but seeing her perform this live remains one of my favourite gigs ever wub.gif Seeing how special and important this album is to Ri makes me even more excited for its follow up!

Read her post here:

I listened to this in full this morning.

There’s a solid 13 track album on here and if you rejig the tracklisting too it for me would flow even better.

Goodnight Gotham is a bit pointless and where it is on the album too often confuses me laugh.gif.

For me Work and Pose are the only tracks I really dislike. I’ve never liked Work though and that’s coming from a Stan! I love Rihanna and Drake too I don’t know why that song just never did it for me.

I really wish the UK treat this better though. It contains some of her best vocal moments ever. Love On The Brain really could’ve been amongst her signature hits! It’s US performance makes up for the fact the UK didn’t get as on board with this as they did her previous albums though.

The album cover though is still gorgeous wub.gif her best artwork for sure!

Love On The Brain was treated so wrongly by the UK GP. I can't believe we didn't make a smash here. Usually we love Rihanna's ballads.

Love on the brain was never a UK single, was it?

I believe it was a single and got radio 1 playlisted.
It is Gold certified too despite never having charted, so it was a bit of a sleeper hit.

It felt like they didn't really bother with it, it was incredibly late in the campaign and didn't have a video.

Tbh I don't think they really bothered with anything after Work in the UK. Kiss It Better deserved better.

Some of the UK tour dates got cancelled as well. I was going to the Sunderland show what didn’t end up going ahead.

I’m surprised that a brand new Rihanna album couldn’t manage higher than #7 here though! Her next era will do that in streams alone in week one I’d imagine! I wonder how it would’ve fared if we got it in November 2015 like we initially thought we would get it.

Singles wise in the UK we only got two top 40 hits off this album. Although LOTB has went gold overall A sleeper / streaming hit!

The US were really here for this album though in a way they hadn’t been for any other Rihanna era as a whole album. Amazing continued success there wub.gif

Work is such a marmite song either you love it or hate it laugh.gif I for one LOVE IT! The way the instrumental builds at the beginning of the song then Work Work Work hook got me hooked from my first listen to the song. It's definitely one of Rih's best hits and one of my favourite songs of all time.

I really love the video(s) to Work as well. The first one is my favourite as it embraces and celebrates Rih's Carribean culture.

I really thought Kiss It Better was going to SMASH everywhere, I was shocked because it screams hit to me.

I loved Work for all of 3 weeks and now I can't hear that song again.

I can't see the instagram post Jordon

Love On The Brain, on the whole has the cultural relevance of a big hit I'd say despite it's chart performance, everyone knows it clap.gif
