It is an unusually quiet week for Rihanna’s albums on the Billboard charts. Typically, several collections appear on multiple tallies, as Billboard classifies some of her biggest releases as R&B in nature – though words like “pop” and “dance” would also apply. This frame, however, neither Good Girl Gone Bad nor Anti lives on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums or Top R&B Albums rankings.
Both projects do rise slightly on the Billboard 200, but even those minor gains take place during a tame period for the superstar. Rihanna does gain ground on one dance roster, though, as multiple hits — some of the biggest in her catalog — return together and another climbs back to its all-time high.
Rihanna Brings Two Dance Hits Back to the Same Chart
Three Rihanna tracks appear on the Dance Streaming Songs chart this week, and two of them rebound after missing the list just last frame. “We Found Love” with Calvin Harris and “Only Girl (In the World)” reenter at Nos. 12 and 14, respectively. The roster measures the most-streamed dance songs throughout the United States on websites like Spotify, Apple Music and others.
Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music” Returns to Its High
At the same time, another Rihanna classic surges and makes its way back to its previously-established high point. “Don’t Stop the Music” steps up one space to No. 6 on the Dance Streaming Songs ranking. The track first reached that position only about a month ago.
Rihanna Ties Zara Larsson
With three hits on this week’s Dance Streaming Songs chart, Rihanna ties Zara Larsson for the most wins on the 15-space rundown. Larsson appears three times within the top five. Her own tracks “Midnight Sun” and “Lush Life” sit at Nos. 2 and 5, respectively, while “Stateside,” her collaboration with PinkPantheress, lands at No. 3.
Michael Jackson is the only other artist with multiple smashes this frame. “Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough” and “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)” settle at Nos. 7 and 11, respectively.
Rihanna Has Scored 10 Dance Streaming Hits
“Don’t Stop the Music,” “We Found Love” and “Only Girl (In the World)” are counted among Rihanna’s 10 career hits on the Dance Streaming Songs tally. All but one of those tracks have broken into the top 10, though only one has conquered the ranking.
“We Found Love” climbed highest among her three current smashes, as it peaked at No. 3 in February 2023. “Only Girl (In the World)” stalled one space lower during the same frame, when it debuted at No. 4. “Don’t Stop the Music” also debuted on the roster in February 2023, but it did not climb to its No. 6 peak until July 2026.
Rihanna Charts Five Global Hits This Week
Five Rihanna songs appear on at least one Billboard ranking this week. “Don’t Stop the Music,” “We Found Love” and “Only Girl (In the World)” are joined by “Umbrella” with Jay-Z and “S&M,” and all five tracks appear on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Every one of them climbs on the two worldwide rankings this time around.
