Interestingly, FourFiveSeconds, American Oxygen, and Bitch Better Have My Money didn't make the final cut. So have we have for Anti singles is an early 2016 Rhianna single instead called Work. That same title that is also Iggy Azalea's single 3 years ago back in 2013. This Rhianna single contains Drake as a featured artist.

Now, according to MTV's website, "It’s been a whirlwind day for Rih, who released the LP’s first, Drake-featuring single, “Work,” Wednesday morning. By 7 p.m. EST, however, ANTI had reportedly leaked in its entirety online after surfacing on Tidal, apparently by mistake. It was officially made available on the streaming service shortly after.

Executive produced by Kanye West, the 13-track LP is Rihanna’s first album in three years, following 2012’s Unapologetic. The two featured artists listed are Drake, on the aforementioned “Work,” and R&B singer SZA, who appears on album opener “Consideration.” ANTI also includes a cover of Tame Impala’s “New Person, Same Old Mistakes.”"

The offical MTV website continued, "Rihanna most recently teased ANTI’s arrival by posting a selfie of her listening to it on $9000 headphones, and by teaming up with Samsung to launch ANTIdiary.com, which sent fans on a virtual hunt to discover details about the album. Beginning next month, she’s slated to kick off a world tour alongside openers The Weeknd, Travis Scott and Big Sean." Work reached number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (Billboard) chart. According to Wikipedia, ""Work" peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, in doing so Rihanna scored her 14th number one, breaking her tie with Michael Jackson as the artist with the third-most number ones on the chart." In addition, filming of the accompanying music video took place at the Real Jerk restaurant in Toronto on February 5. Rihanna later announced its premiere date to be February 22, 2016 via her Twitter account, while also releasing a videoclip via YouTube. There are two versions; the first was directed by Director X while the second was directed by Tim Erem.

So far, the music video has gained 90 million views on YouTube and ironically, Rihanna didn't perform Work at the 2016 Grammys. Wow, Rihanna was absent while that idiotic Justin Bieber did. Stupid Justin Bieber. At least she did perform that single at the 2016 Brit Awards on February 24, 2016.

Wow, talk about Work between Drake an Rihanna. I personally think that Drake and Rihanna were amazing international duo because there's way too many American artists like Miley Cyrus and we need more international counterparts like Ella Henderson. OK, off to the video.

Wow, talk about creativity and hotness. Why? Because I think Work is one of Rihanna's most creative singles that I ever listen. Talk about the single's music sound. It is quite different. Also, the lyrics represent the word work a bunch of times as well as her Bajan talk since she's a rare Barbabian star, not an American star. Since I do like Japan or Mexico, Barbados is quite tiny. Even compared to sall countries like Japan. Anyway, I never like the Director X music video that mich since there's twerking. This is why I personally don't like sex selling music because sex selling music does NOT represent music at all. Fortunately, I like how Rihanna was felling sexy and it's nice to see Rhianna gets to show her butt and her breasts in the Director X music video. Now that's what makes Rihanna so hot and she will continue to be hot despite she's getting older. I know Rihanna is a pop veteran now.

What I do like is the other music video directed by Tim Erem. The Tim Erem music video is very creative. Too bad MTV Hits wants to go with the more generic Director X music video rather than the Tim Erem one. At least the setting in the Director X music video takes place in the club. So MTV Hit would rather go with the Director X music video since the Director X music video takes place in the club and therefore represent the single itself. Duh. Overall, I do like both music videos. But I prefer the music video for Bitch Better Have My Money since the Bitch Better Have My Money music video is way darker than other Rihanna music videos including Work. Good thing I really enjoy Work. Work is a well-rounded Rihanna single. The commercial label primate Drake was featured since Rihanna is a naturalistic singer. Nice raggae-pop sound. Very innovated sound. It's such a creative Rihanna song. I would like more singles that goes by mainstream creativity one day.

What do you think? Do you like the music video for Work? Do you like Work as a single? Do you like music video directed by Director X? Or Tim Erem? Sound off below!
