Rihanna's Anti Certified 2x Multi-Platinum

It's official. On May 5, 2015, Rihanna's Anti is certified Double Platinum by RIAA Gold and Platinum Awards Program.

Now then, according to Rap-Up, "RIHANNA’S 'ANTI' CERTIFIED DOUBLE PLATINUM"

Rap-Up continued to reply, "Rihanna’s ANTI sales are climbing even “Higher.” After nabbing 1 million downloads in just 14 hours and topping the Billboard 200 back in February, RiRi’s latest album continues to reach new levels.

On Thursday (May 5), ANTI was certified double platinum by the RIAA, becoming the first 2X multi-platinum album of 2016. Additionally, her Drake-assisted single “Work,” which spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, is the first 3X multi-platinum song of the year."

Rihanna tweeted, "#ANTI is the 1st album from 2016 to go @RIAA double platinum!!! Blown away by your support every day. thank you"

ANTI is @RIAA's first 2X multi-Platinum album of 2016! Congratulations to @Rihanna! @RocNation", RIAA tweeted, " More Gold & Platinum accolades for @Rihanna: #Work is RIAA's first 3X multi-Platinum song of the year! @RocNation".



It's great to see Rihanna's Anti is certified 2x multi-platinum. Wait until Meghan Trainor gets to see about how many copies of Thank You sold during its first week. Sounds exciting.

Rihanna's Anti also out-certified Carrie Underwood's Storyteller. It looks like America will have to stick with junk music and celebrities like rap/hip-hop music and Jennifer Lopez repetitively and avoid popular music in general like country music and Hilary Duff these days.

But still, I'm loving non-US artists including Rihanna because international artists like Ellie Goulding are far superior to the American counterparts like Beyonce. I'll take artists out of the US like Ed Sheeran over US artists like Lil Wayne any day. I hope Needed Me will do well in the US charts.

What do you think about Anti certified 2x multi-platinum?
