Rihanna Reacts As ‘Anti’ Becomes First Album By a Black Female Artist to Spend 500 Weeks on Billboard 200

Rihanna has Anti on the brain this week, as the album — which remains her most recent full-length a decade after its release — has just clocked a historic 500th week on the Billboard 200.

On the chart dated Dec. 6, 2025, the critically acclaimed LP ranks at No. 134, recording a milestone 500th nonconsecutive week on the ranking. It marks the first album by a Black female soloist in Billboard chart history to spend that much time on the Billboard 200.

And in a post on X reacting to the news on Monday (Dec. 1), Ri proudly wrote, “God ain’t forget bout me!”

The album’s reign is certainly impressive, especially considering the fact that the Fenty mogul hasn’t dropped an LP since it came out in January 2016. Spending most of the past 10 years focusing on her fashion and beauty empires and raising her family with A$AP Rocky, Ri has only released a few sparse singles — including the Oscar-nominated “Lift Me Up” for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in 2022 — in the years that followed Anti.

At its peak, Anti spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Featuring numerous Billboard Hot 100 hits — such as “Work” featuring Drake, “Needed Me” and “Love on the Brain” — the project also earned several Grammy nominations, including best urban contemporary album.

Also on Monday, Ri celebrated a very different milestone. Sharing photos of herself in her home country on X, the star wrote, “Congratulations to Barbados, MY HOME, on our 59th year of Independence and our 4th year as a Republic! Today also marks the installation of our 2nd President, His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel The Most Honorable Jeffrey Bostic, who alongside our Honorable Prime Minister Mia Mottley will continue to lead Barbados with excellence!!”
