In less than a
day, Rihanna’s eighth studio album is already going through the roof.
ANTi hit 13 million streams in 14 hours according to Tidal, the
streaming service it was initially exclusively available to.
Tidal

But
the success didn’t end there. On its very first day, the album’s lead
single, the Drake featured “Work”, is the most-heard song on more than 1
200 radio stations according to Nielsen Music for the Billboard Hot
100. It drew in 23.4 million audience impressions – the largest of the
day – from its 2 300 first plays.
To
paint a clear picture, Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” ranked 21.7 million
impressions and Adele’s smash “Hello” came in at 20.9 million.
While
the track list might only reveal two collaborators – SZA and Drake –
under the hood, there were a few chefs who had their hand in cooking up
R8, including: Travi$ Scott, Jeff Bhasker, The-Dream, James Fauntleroy,
and PARTYNEXTDOOR. Timbaland, DJ Mustard, No I.D., Hit-Boy, and others
all score producer credits.
