Rihanna's albums are not as prominent on the Billboard charts this week as they usually are. While her albums like Good Girl Gone Bad and Anti are not on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums or Top R&B Albums rankings, they do see a slight rise on the Billboard 200 chart. On the Dance Streaming Songs chart, three of Rihanna's tracks make a comeback, with "We Found Love" and "Only Girl (In the World)" reentering at Nos. 12 and 14, respectively. Another hit, "Don't Stop the Music," climbs to No. 6 on the Dance Streaming Songs ranking.
With three songs on the Dance Streaming Songs chart, Rihanna ties with Zara Larsson for the most appearances on the list. Meanwhile, Michael Jackson also has multiple hits on the chart this week. "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" are at Nos. 7 and 11, respectively. Among Rihanna's 10 hits on the Dance Streaming Songs tally, "We Found Love," "Only Girl (In the World)," and "Don't Stop the Music" have all made it to the top 10.
"We Found Love" reached its peak at No. 3 in February 2023, while "Only Girl (In the World)" debuted at No. 4 during the same period. "Don't Stop the Music" entered the chart in February 2023 but reached its peak at No. 6 in July 2026. This week's chart shows Rihanna's enduring popularity and success in the dance music genre.
