Rihanna has reclaimed the top
spot on Billboard’s 200 album chart with her eighth studio album, “Anti.” The
set sold another 54,000 copies last week to secure the No. 1 position for the
second time.
The album sales are
propelled by the success of its lead single, “Work,” which remains No. 1 on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart for a fifth consecutive week. The song also tops
Billboard’s Urban and Rhythm charts.
“Work” is Rihanna’s 14th No. 1 single, scoring her the third-most No. 1 Billboard 100 hits in history. With more
than 100 million download sales to her name, the 28-year-old superstar is the best-selling
digital artist of all time.
Rihanna is currently in
the middle of a 41-city North American tour, which kicked off March 12 in Jacksonville, Fla. Next week, she will be honored with the Rock Star Award at
BET’s “Black Girls Rock” event in New Jersey.
