The tracks on this album what I like I really like and then Pose and Higher are skips! Love On The Brain is one of my very favourites and I love how much it’s kinda become her signature ballad despite never charting in the UK! It’s still such a unique album in her discography I really remember the whole album taking its time to make an impression on me but I’d now put it around 4th on her discography! Keep ratings incoming!

I’d love this but we’ve had this particular London stadium rumour going for a few years now! I feel like there potentially was truth in it for a time but was shelved when she fell pregnant the last time? I’d honestly take a tour like we don’t even need new material for her to sell out a tour based of her supreme discography!

The sun seems to suggest that rumours are circulating that she is going to announce a tour for this year.

I think Rihanna is done with music. As big as she became, She’s probably become disillusioned with the industry given her 8-year slog and presumably s****y contracts. She’s made her fortune from her beauty empire so I think she will continue to focus on that for 2026. Her eventual R9 will be a MOMENT though. 😭

Will def join this !!

TEN years ago this month Rihanna dropped her most recent studio album to date ANTI. To celebrate this I thought it would be a good idea to do a rate of the whole album! You can rate all tracks from the album including an 11 for your absolute favourite and I’ll allow .5 scores too. If you really hate a track you can give it a -1 but just one -1 score if you do have one. Not sure when I’ll close I’ll leave it up for a weeks yet as I am ahead of the official anniversary. You can also send scores via PM too or by commenting here. If anyone’s so kind to help with results too as I’ve never hosted a rate yet.

UK #50 this week! A rise! I genuinely see this sneaking some extra weeks top 40 this year it’s ahead of both The Fame and Teenage Dream this week too!

Fire Bomb would be a perfect choice too! So we’re days into the year and several “sources” on X are claiming that Rihanna is doing the Copacabana show this year and another says a London residency is coming. Take those with a pinch of salt however 😆

Fire Bomb 🙏

Good Girl Gone Bad was the 55th biggest album of the year in 2025 on the UK charts.

I'm looking forward to seeing what certifications there are in store for Rihanna in 2026.

Wow!!! This always does pretty well on NYE and on party playlists but that’s some brilliant streams there! An enduring, career defining, cross generational smash.

This is getting a major resurgement on Spotify due to the NYE. Already Top 40 on Spotify's Daily Top Songs Global chart with 2.6m streams and Top 30 on Spotify's Daily Top Songs UK chart with 207.6k streams.

I feel like we may get some music this year but my gut is telling me the album isn’t coming this year. I do for some reason feel like another Breakin Dishes esque album track from the past will have a moment though (prays it’s Complicated!!)

Really hope we get a new one this year, 10 years is a big enough gap!

No album and baby number 4 Mad it'll soon be ten whole years since ANTI.

Happy New Year!!! Now we are in a new calendar year I thought id kick off with a new thread. What do you think Rihanna has in store for us in 2026? Purely a predictions and chat thread 🙂

#71 on the albums chart update this week in the UK?! Should be safe for another week too 75.

Album is at #62 in the UK this week a climb!! 211 weeks top 75 | 306 weeks top 100! Such a consistent album within the charts now ❣️!! Intrigued to see how it fares in 2026 but it’s had an incredible 2025 on the charts!

There’s a separate thread now for Sales and Certifications in the UK. https://www.buzzjack.com/forums/topic/278290-rihannas-uk-certifications-updated-version/ This thread here is more for chart runs now but does contain some information (but for sales and certs the above link is more accurate and is updated pretty regularly!) Talk that Talk sales now edited though!

Was the other Rihanna UK charts & sales thread deleted? It had some official sales for albums & singles that hadn't reach a new Certification. You have Talk that Talk as being only 1 million sales, but in the old thread someone posted official sales from music week with around 1,077,000 sales in 2019. EDITED: I found the source for it. https://www.musicweek.com/publishing/read/rihanna-reunites-with-jon-platt-at-sony-atv/077438

Seeing that ANTI has become the first album by a black woman to get 500 weeks on the Billboard charts!! Record breaking smash ❣️. The success this era had in the US was insane.
