Rihanna's 'Breakin' Dishes' Makes a Chart Comeback: A Look at the Song's Resurgence and Impact
Rihanna has not released a new album in almost ten years, leaving fans eagerly anticipating new music. Despite the underperformance of her recent song "Friend of Mine," an older track, "Breakin' Dishes," from nearly two decades ago, has made a comeback on multiple Billboard charts, debuting at No. 14 on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart in the U.S.
This marks Rihanna's twelfth appearance on the Dance Digital Song Sales chart, with "Breakin' Dishes" matching the peak position of her song "SOS." While "SOS" has spent 41 weeks on the chart, it has never surpassed the No. 14 spot. Rihanna has achieved success with ten top 10 hits and three No. 1 songs on this chart, including collaborations with Calvin Harris and her recent track "Friend of Mine."
"Breakin' Dishes" has also reentered the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, showcasing its international appeal. Originally from Rihanna's album "Good Girl Gone Bad," the track gained popularity this year and has been climbing various charts worldwide. The renewed interest in "Breakin' Dishes" has also boosted the performance of the album on Billboard rankings, including a return to the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart at No. 40.
In conclusion, Rihanna's enduring popularity and the resurgence of "Breakin' Dishes" demonstrate the lasting impact of her music on fans and charts alike.
