According to her Instagram feed, RiRi has become the first-ever recording artist in RIAA history to be certified with 100 million song awards. “Thank you to my kill team, NAVY we’re the 1ST & ONLY in history to be @RIAA_awards certified with 100M song awards and….. #ANTI is PLATINUM! Thank u for the love! 

Glory be to God!!!” she wrote alongside a snap of herself seated in front of her plaque while holding a second award for ANTI, which was certified platinum just a week ago.

ANTI earned its platinum certification shortly after it was released on Jan. 27. In only 14 hours, it was downloaded more than 1 million times through a free offer made possible by RiRi’s Samsung partnership. While those downloads helped her earn this award, they were not counted by Nielsen.

In any case, Rihanna is still putting in “Work.” Her Drake-assisted single reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.

 And as mentioned, ANTI was at the top of the Billboard 200 with 166,000 units sold in its first full week of availability.

Up next, Rihanna is set to put in “Work” (possibly alongside Drake) at the Grammys on February 15 before trekking to the U.K. for the BRIT Awards on February 24.

 At the end of the month, she is set to embark on her ANTI World Tour, kicking off in San Diego. In the meantime, show Rih some congratulatory love in the comment section below.
