Rihanna is the first artist to have 100 million song awards, according to the RIAA.
“Not 1 but 2 @Rihanna milestones: 1st artist in Gold & Platinum history to earn 100M song awards & #ANTI is #Platinum,” the RIAA writes on Twitter with an image of Rihanna receiving plaques for ANTI‘s platinum award and the 100 Million milestone.
The singer thanks her fans for their support of her eighth studio album and her decade-long career.
“Navy y’all did this i$h!!!” she says on Twitter. “FIRST & ONLY @RIAA certified with 100M song awards & #ANTI is PLATINUM!! Thank you for the love!”
ANTI was certified platinum within 15 hours of its release to TIDAL. The RIAA recognized one million albums sold, but Billboard declined to include the TIDAL purchases because Samsung bought copies of the album to give away.
The album debuted at the #27 spot on the Top 200 albums chart with only 460 album sales. The project landed at #1 the next week with 166,322 album equivalent units sold and more than 14 million streams.
The lead single for ANTI is “Work” with Drake.

For additional Rihanna coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
Drake made rhianna famous. With out drake rhianna would be working as a full time hooker. Drake makes or breaks carreers he runs the music game. In 2016 you need a Drake feature to do numbers or else you are irrelevant.
Ummm you’re aware that she had 3 platinum albums before Drake signed to Cash Money right? The only person who NEEDS Drake is Quentin Miller (his voice is so he’s better off writing) and if Drake’s co-sign meant so much, how come every artist on OVO barely scans 50k when something. ..even The Weeknd did better once he cut Drake off
Voice is unbearable*
Drake got famous from Rihanna and Lil Wayne. He didn’t get famous by himself. Drake is garbage and makes corny music.
She can thank satan dick!
I must be reading this wrong…are they saying she has literally won 100 million awards over the span of career? this has to be bogus that’s impossible…that’s like scoring 1000 points in a game
100 million singles sold, from what it looks like
Rihanna sucks. Why is this lame, corny bitch still famous? Go away, Rihanna.
I’m sick of Rihanna. She’s terrible and she’s a skank.
Rihanna is so ugly and can’t sing. What do people see in her?
Rihanna is so gorgeous and naturally beautiful with an amazingly unique voice. She’s an icon wether all u haters that said she’s ugly and can’t sing like it or not.
