As word of the album’s release spread on Twitter, several of Anti's cuts scored high debuts on the Trending 140 chart, led by the album’s lead single “Work,” which hit No. 1 for 15 nonconsecutive hours as Twitter’s most shared and discussed song upon its release.
One day after the Drake -assisted first single premiered on Jan. 27, a leak forced Rihanna and crew to advance the Anti release to Wednesday night (Jan. 28), up two days from a projected debut on Friday (Jan. 29).
In addition to “Work,” Rihanna scored three additional Anti No. 1s on the Trending 140, led by “Consideration,” the album’s opening track.
The SZA-featured number clocked four hours as the top trending track in the U.S. Meanwhile, popular cut “Kiss It Better” also climbed to No. 1 for one hour, before logging three nonconsecutive hours in the runner-up slot, and “Higher,” which the singer teased as far as back as March in Instagram posts, likewise leapt to a No. 1 placement.
You guys legit made me the happiest girl in the world!! I'm so grateful that you appreciate the #ANTI album! It's the most rewarding feeling
