Rihanna's eighth studio album, ANTI, debuts at #27 on Billboard's Top 200 chart. It premiered on TIDAL and sold one million album units through the singer's partnership with Samsung. The RIAA certified it platinum, but Billboard said it will not count those numbers. Instead, the chart reports that ANTI sold 15,896 album equivalent units, 460 album sales and more than four million streams. ANTI is available for physical release Friday (February 5).

The 460 was from a few hours release on Tidal

Anyhow it's projected to be #1 on Billboard next week

Meanwhile

Rihanna roars in at No. 9 on the Hot 100 with Anti lead single "Work" (featuring Drake) -- her 27th top 10 hit, and Drake's 15th. She now ties Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson and Elton John for the fifth-most top 10s in the Hot 100's history. (Madonna leads with 38.) “Work” is Rihanna’s milestone 50th Hot 100 hit.

"Work" debuts at No. 1 on Digital Songs (126,000 sold in its first week; the song sold that sum in just more than a day of the tracking week ending Jan. 28, as, again, it was commercially released at 9 a.m. ET on Jan. 27), marking Rihanna's record-extending 14th No. 1 on the sales chart. "Work" also launches at No. 27 on Radio Songs (44 million in just more than four days of availability), marking her highest career debut on the airplay ranking, and drew 2.2 million streams (in just more than a day, as the Digital Songs and Streaming Songs tracking week runs Friday-Sunday; Radio Songs covers Monday-Sunday each week).

"Work" crashes in at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, landing Rihanna her fifth chart-topper on the list and Drake his 14th.

Rihanna previously hit No. 1 with "FourFiveSeconds" (in 2015, with Kanye West and Paul McCartney), "The Monster" (2013; Eminem featuring Rihanna), "Diamonds" (2012) and "Take a Bow" (2008). "Work" is her second single to debut at No. 1, and her first as a lead act, following "The Monster."

The No. 1 debut of "Work" is driven by its handsome sales and airplay start. It enters at No. 1 R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Songs and No. 15 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay (her highest debut ever).

"Work" also logs Rihanna her 16th top 10 effort on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. She first visited the region with "Umbrella," which peaked at No. 4 on July 14, 2007.

Work Bitch

Aww right so it's not too bad

Considering the first million copies were free

[EspeonBB]

Industry forecasters expect Anti to make a big leap up the Billboard 200 chart next week -- possibly to No. 1 -- after the album has a full week of activity behind it. Prognosticators suggest Anti could shift around 125,000 in equivalent album units in the week ending Feb. 4, which could power the album to No. 1 on the chart dated Feb. 20. If Anti hits the top, it will mark Rihanna's second No. 1, following her previous studio album, 2012's Unapologetic.

At least she'll be #1! (less than Britney Jean tho )

[Pete.]

Britney Jean still being a benchmark for the music industry

[Smithy]
