Rihanna is celebrating a monumental achievement as her iconic album Anti has officially become the first album by a Black female artist to spend an incredible 500 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. This remarkable feat comes despite the fact that the Fenty mogul has not released a new album since Anti debuted in January 2016.
As of the chart dated December 6, 2025, Anti ranks at No. 134, marking a historic milestone in Billboard chart history. In response to this news, Rihanna took to social media, expressing her joy with the message, “God ain’t forget bout me!”
This achievement is particularly impressive considering that Rihanna has focused primarily on her thriving fashion and beauty empires over the past decade, along with raising her family with A$AP Rocky. While she has released a few singles, including the Oscar-nominated “Lift Me Up” for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in 2022, Anti remains her most recent full-length project.
The album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for two weeks and features a host of hits, including “Work” featuring Drake, “Needed Me,” and “Love on the Brain.” It also garnered six Grammy nominations, including Best Urban Contemporary Album.
In addition to her musical milestone, Rihanna celebrated another significant occasion by honoring her home country of Barbados on its 59th Independence Day. She shared heartfelt photos and congratulated the nation on its achievements, including the installation of its second president.
