Rihanna’s first album in four years, Anti, went to number one on iTunes in just 90 minutes.
Featuring rapper Drake, the three-minute R&B track topped the iTunes charts in more than 40 countries in a mere three hours, according to MIC.
As of Yesterday, the song had made number one in 70 countries and still counting.
This is the first single from Rihanna’s eighth album and follows the release of Bitch Better Have My Money, American Oxygen and FourFiveSeconds in 2015.
Meanwhile, ‘Work’ has been praised by fans on Twitter hailing Rihanna’s return, but many people have taken umbrage with the song’s repetitive lyrics – written by no less than eight people – and slammed the song as “boring”.
