J. Cole isn’t the only one celebrating a birthday. Wednesday also marks the 10th anniversary of ANTI, the last album Rihanna released. While that is enough for a celebration, there’s even more reason to toast: The album’s tracks have earned new certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America.

“James Joint” and “Woo” have officially earned Platinum status, while “Consideration” is now double Platinum. “Desperado” is certified three-times Platinum, while “Kiss It Better” and “Sex With Me” are four-times Platinum.

“Work” featuring Drake is now 11-times Platinum, “Needed Me” sits at 12-times Platinum and “Love on the Brain” leads the pack with a Diamond certification. 

Spotify also shared data highlighting ANTI’s growth in the years after its 2016 release.

According to the platform, streams have increased by 130% over the past five years, reaching an all-time peak on Feb. 13, 2023, following Rih’s Super Bowl halftime performance. Part of this resurgence can be credited to Gen Z listeners, with 5 million of them discovering her music in 2025.

“Love on the Brain,” “Needed Me” and “Work” all joined Spotify’s Billions Club, and ANTI marked its biggest streaming debut to date this January.

The album’s most-streamed tracks on Spotify in order are: “Love on the Brain,” “Needed Me,” “Work,” “Kiss It Better,” “Desperado,” “Woo,” “Consideration,” “Yeah, I Said It,” “Same Ol’ Mistakes,” “James Joint,” “Higher,” “Close to You” and “Never Ending.”

With Rihanna’s focus seemingly on Fenty Beauty, Savage X Fenty and being a mother, fans continue to wonder if she will ever release another album.

In 2025, she told Harper’s Bazaar, “I just cracked the code on what I really want to do for my next body of work. I am actually feeling really good about this.”

The Maine has released a new song called “Die to Fall,” the first single off the band’s upcoming album, Joy Next Door.

“‘Die to Fall’ is a dialogue with myself about the desire to let go,” says frontman John O’Callaghan. “Let go of my insecurities, my ego, my worries, let go of ‘me’ for even just a second and truly feel the gravity of all the little moments we can often take for granted. If none of the above resonates, then at the very least, it’s a song to rage to.”

You can watch the “Die to Fall” video on YouTube.

Joy Next Door is due out April 10. It’s the follow-up to The Maine’s 2023 self-titled effort, which includes the singles “blame” and “thoughts i have while lying in bed.”

The Maine will launch a U.S. tour in March.

Dolly Parton now has chart hits spanning 60 years, thanks to her rerecording of “Light of a Clear Blue Morning” with Lainey Wilson, Miley Cyrus, Queen Latifah and Reba McEntire on the occasion of her 80th birthday.

ROSÉ has always been very private about her romantic life, but now she’s revealed what lengths she went to in order to hide at least one relationship from the public.

While appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast, host Alex Cooper asked ROSÉ how she avoided getting photographed by the paparazzi with a man. The answer, the “APT.” singer revealed, is that she wore disguises. Specifically, she said, she “studied how elderly women would dress on the street,” and then she’d order those same kinds of clothes, plus a short dark wig, and wear it to visit her then-boyfriend. 

“I would go to his house, because we can’t go anywhere,” she explained. “I would travel that way just in case somebody [saw me].”

She laughed, “For a while in my house I had a whole section of grandma clothes, because I went wild. I just ordered, like, light-blue flowery long skirts.” She said she did that for “at least six months,” because she was “so committed to keep the secret.”

Also on Call Her Daddy, the BLACKPINK singer, whose birth name is Roseanne Park, talked about her stage name, revealing she only found out that she’d been assigned the name “ROSÉ” by her record company about eight hours before it was announced publicly.

“They actually came up with it and I freaked out,” she recalled. “I was like ‘What?’ I mean, I love it now but at the time I was like ‘What? ROSÉ?’ At first I was like, ‘I sound like a grandma!'”

After she saw it onscreen, she said, “That’s when I was like, ‘OK, it looks nice.'”

BLACKPINK’s new mini-album, Deadline, arrives Feb. 27.
