Rihanna has reached a new milestone that underscores her enduring popularity, despite not releasing an album since 2016’s “Anti.”
On Wednesday, June 12, the music chart tracking account @chartdata on X (formerly Twitter) announced that Rihanna sold over 1 million total album units in the United States in 2024 alone.
Remarkably, she is the only artist to achieve this feat without releasing an album in the 2020s.
In response to this achievement, Rihanna showcased her signature sense of humor.
The 36-year-old singer and businesswoman shared a GIF of herself pulling her ponytail with a smirk, followed by a big smile. The playful reaction quickly went viral, amassing over 10 million views and likes from her devoted fans, who are eagerly awaiting a new album.
While Rihanna has remained tight-lipped about the details of her highly anticipated album, she has occasionally teased its progress, further fueling excitement among her Navy fanbase.
