Rihanna’s ‘Anti’: Which Tracks Have Been Streamed and Sold the Most?

#Music

Five years ago today, Rihanna’s Anti dropped (in somewhat memorably messy fashion) as her first album since 2012’s Unapologetic, and thus her first major release following the streaming boom of the mid-’10s.

Despite the issue-plague release, the album debuted to strong reception — a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and some of her strongest reviews to date — and its reputation has only grown in the half-decade since. At the end of 2019, it finished towards the top of many lists of the best albums of the 2010s (including Billboard’s, where it finished No. 7), as its free-flowing nature, mostly bite-sized tracks and generally intense vibiness generally helped make it a perfect pop album for the streaming era, with nearly every song turning into some kind of fan favorite.

Undoubtedly you’ve continued to play your favorites from the set in the five years since — and probably the whole thing a number of times as well — but which cuts from it have been sold and streamed the most in its half-decade of existence? See Anti’s 16 tracks (including its three deluxe edition bonus cuts) ranked both ways below, according to numbers provided by MRC Data.
