Rihanna's'ANTi'is the gift that keeps on giving.

Despite being released in January 2016 - as in two years next month (how?!) - the pop icon's eighth album is still dominating the charts.

The timelessly incredible album that blessed us with 'Work', 'Needed Me' and 'Kiss It Better' has now officially spent 100 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart.

At just four weeks short of two whole years on the chart,'ANTi'is now Rihanna's longest-charting album in the US. Not bad for an artist 12 years into her career, huh?

Its longevity is truly a testament to how brilliant the music is, as she has not promoted it since the supporting world tour ended in November 2016.

Since thenshe has remained in the limelight for her various other ventures, from acting ('Ocean's Eight' is out next summer), her PUMA collections and, of course, her industry-shaking Fenty Beauty cosmetic brand.

RiRi is said to always be working on music so we should be on red alert for her ninth album to drop imminently, as she has surprised us with several collaborations this year.

From N.E.R.D's comeback single 'Lemon' to DJ Khaled's UK Number 1 'Wild Thoughts', anything the Bajan superstar touches still turns to gold.

Are you ready for R9? We know we are...
