Rihanna has officially joined Spotify’s most elite club — surpassing 100 million monthly listeners for the first time ever.
Rihanna is now the 11th artist in Spotify history to pass 100 million monthly listeners, joining a lineup of legends like Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Ed Sheeran. It’s been nearly a decade since her last studio album ANTI dropped in 2016, yet her presence on the charts hasn’t faded one bit.
What’s wild is that Rihanna has only released four features since ANTI, but her catalog still holds strong — songs like “Work,” “Needed Me,” and “Love On The Brain” are still streaming like it’s 2016 all over again. Fans have been craving new music for years, and this milestone just proves how timeless her sound really is.
Every few months, there’s a new wave of “R9 when?” posts online, and honestly, this achievement just adds more fuel to that fire. If Rihanna can pull in 100 million monthly listeners without a new album, imagine what will happen when she finally decides to drop.
Whether she’s in the studio, on a yacht, caring for her kids or running Fenty, Rihanna’s influence is everywhere — and her latest Spotify milestone is just another reminder of her global power.
