Pretty close to it's 10th Anniversary too! How appropriate :cheeseblock:

 

What an album :heart:

"What's My Name" is now 2x Platinum! :wub:

 

Her 13th multi-platinum single + she's the first female artist to surpass 40 million total certified units in the UK! :cheer:

I had no idea that was coming!! AFSC made me realise just how much of a fave it was, still so fresh :wub:

@1322199078508339202

 

If I've counted correctly (and assuming Wiki is completely up to date) I make this Rihanna's 30th Platinum single!

Impressive stuff.

 

It’s actually done great as by her standards at the time of release it felt like an underperformance.

 

Pretty much all of Rihanna’s material post Unapologetic was ahead of time in terms of it being the sound what streams so well now. Like if this was released in 2020 it would be a long running top 5 smash.

It only seemed like an underperformance at the time because it flopped on pure sales in a time where you still needed them to be high up on the chart. Issa hit.

As of this week, Only Girl's UK chart sales stand at 1.53 million, split between 1.17 million pure sales and 42 million streams.

Hard should go silver soon, I don't know how long the others will take though.

Agreed, I imagine 'Hard' is next in line to go Silver.

 

'If I Never See Your Face Again' was on 130k as of February 2020 according to a Maroon 5 countdown on MTV. I'm guessing 'If It's Lovin' That You Want' and 'Right Now' are both above 100k, possibly 'Selfish' too.

@1332359779965014016

Her 14th multi-platinum song and third from the 'Loud' era!

 

The last known total was 900k as of July 2017, which works out at ~1.9k a week.

 

From her other Platinum singles, I think 'Take Care' and 'Rude Boy' are over 1m.

@1352639661005533185

New total for 'Umbrella' - 1,540,790 as of w/e 4th March.

7x Platinum for 'Good Girl Gone Bad'!

Rihanna’s official Top 40 biggest songs ever

26 October 2022 | By Carl Smith

 

Look, we totally get that Rihanna's busy with her baby boy, business ventures and that upcoming baseball game, but we're absolutely gagging for some new music.

 

Well now, with RiRi announcing her NFL Super Bowl halftime show slot and rumours swirling of a Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack song or two, it seems we might be in luck.

 

As we keep everything crossed for our first, proper Rihanna music since 2016 album ANTI, we thought it was about time we gave you an update on her Official Top 40 biggest songs in the UK so far.

 

From 2005 debut Pon De Replay to collaborations with the likes of Eminem, Calvin Harris, David Guetta and actual Paul McCartney, it's a discography that cements RiRi as one of the 21st century's most influential artists.

 

Before we get to the full list, let's delve into the Top 5, shall we?

 

5. Diamonds

Released: 2012

Official Singles Chart peak: 1

Total UK chart units: 1.94 million

The first track lifted from her 2012 LP Unapologetic, Sia-penned single Diamonds has shifted total UK chart units of 1.94 million to date; including 1.1 million downloads and 103 million streams.

 

4. Work (Rihanna featuring Drake)

Released: 2016

Official Singles Chart peak: 2

Total UK chart units: 1.95 million

The lead single from her eighth studio album ANTI, Drake duet Work comes in at Number 4 on RiRi's all-time list. The track, which peaked at Number 2 on the Official Singles Chart behind Lukas Graham's 7 Years, boasts total UK streams of 178 million and counting.

 

3. This Is What You Came For (Calvin Harris featuring Rihanna)

Released: 2016

Official Singles Chart peak: 2

Total UK chart units: 2.2 million

Rihanna's feature on 2016 Calvin Harris track This Is What You Came For (famously including a writing credit from Taylor Swift - initially under the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg), is her third-biggest track in the UK so far. It's also worth nothing that the collab is Rihanna's most-streamed song to date. Since its release, the song's accumulated a total of 200 million streams across audio and video platforms.

 

2. We Found Love (Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris)

Released: 2011

Official Singles Chart peak: 1

Total UK chart units: 2.4 million

RiRi's second Calvin team-up to make her all-time Top 5, lead Talk That Talk single We Found Love slips one place on this place since our last update. A true product of the early 2010s, though, We Found Love remains Rihanna's most-downloaded single. The track boasts a total of 1.4 million downloads in the UK to date.

 

1. Love The Way You Lie (Eminem featuring Rihanna)

Released: 2010

Official Singles Chart peak: 2

Total UK chart units: 2.6 million

Reigning atop the list of Rihanna's Official biggest songs in the UK is Eminem feature Love The Way You Lie. Lifted from the Detroit rapper's 2010 album Recovery, the song has racked up combined streams of 181 million since its release; with its total chart units standing at 2.6 million to date.

2,192,532 Good Girl Gone Bad

435,686 Anti

ANTI (39)

Good Girl Gone Bad (42)

and Loud (81)

 

Are all inside the top 100 this week on UK albums.

 

Wonder how many more are top 200 Unapologetic must have just missed out I presume?

 

 

UK midweeks (albums)

 

ANTI - 45

Good Girl Gone Bad - 55

Loud - 93

 

Hopefully ANTI can sneak in another week top 40.

 

Definitely starting to feel like Good Girl Gone Bad has definite potential to become a top 100 staple in the way The Fame and Teenage Dream are though :cheer:
