An extraordinary year 2023…looking forward to returning in 2024?

The presence of the star, who has become a true Arlesian, is rare, with the exception of a few collaborations, the single “Lift Me Up”, and rumors of a new album are logically rife. However, its performance from a commercial standpoint remains impressive. Spotify, the number one streaming platform on the market, still has over 80 million monthly listeners today. This is enough to rank him among the 10 most popular artists in the world. And in 2023, he once again had an incredible year, as proven by this ranking from specialist site Charts Masters. Thus, Rihanna has come in 20th place among the most listened artists worldwide on this platform. Thus it collected an astonishing total of 5.95 billion plays. This feat is all the more extraordinary because she has not released an album for eight years, even though these figures were significantly boosted by her show during halftime of the last Superbowl, which allowed her to break the record.

And given this enthusiasm, which does not weaken over time, there is no doubt that a new record, which would already be an event, given the period of his absence at a time when music has not been so short-lived. , can break many records. And that’s good because according to the latest information on the subject, a record may soon see the light of day as well as a tour, as evidenced by their recent announcement: ” I want to tour when there’s new music. I think it’s only fair that my fans get what they expect, which is new music, and after that, let’s blow it up! “. It remains to be seen when this imaginary album will finally be released.
