US EditionRihanna's 'Anti' Turns 10: When Is New Music Coming? Everything the Singer Has Said About Her Elusive Next Album
ANTI redefined Rihanna’s sound with moodier production and enduring hits; it remains her longest-charting album with over 100 million monthly Spotify listeners, Billboard reported.
- On Jan. 28, 2016, Rihanna released ANTI amid intense appetite for new music, and as of today, it is the longest-charting album by a Black female musician.
- A four-year gap followed 2012’s Unapologetic, stretching anticipation as ANTI’s rollout featured delays, erratic singles, and a bungled TIDAL leak that heightened expectations.
- On ANTI, Rihanna shifted to a subdued, moodier sound with collaborators like SZA and Timbaland, producing hits such as "Work," which spent nine weeks at No. on the Billboard Hot 100.
- Rihanna shifted toward soundtrack work after ANTI, earning a 2023 Oscar nomination for 'Lift Me Up' and releasing 'Friend of Mine' from the 2025 Smurfs movie, while during writing in January 2026 she climbed Spotify’s global artist chart with more than 100 million monthly listeners.
- Ten years on, ANTI is seen as Rihanna at her most musically self-possessed and helped pass the baton to the next generation, featuring early-career SZA and Travis Scott.
