As ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s often groundbreaking door closes, ‘Love & Hip Hop Hollywood‘s low brow door opens.

Fortunately, joining its cast to add some class and credentials is Lyrica Anderson, the singer/songwriter who fronts the ‘King Me’ musical series and was behind the  Beyonce number ‘Jealous.’

The chart-run of Rihanna‘s octonary opus, ‘Anti,’ has been nothing short of impressive…on the surface.

Excluding that confusing multi-“lead” single startup and #27 debut, the album has been a Billboard 200 juggernaut, not only capturing the top spot for multiple weeks since its February 2016 debut, but also only knowing a handful of weeks outside of the top 5 for the nearly 6 months its been available.

However, what appears a clear victory to chart-watchers has been achieved on the heels of some interesting supporting stats.  Even after earning an RIAA “double platinum” certification  (note:  some of the stats that make up this achievement include “free” downloads) and, later, a Nielsen-reported sales receipt confirming at least platinum status (a figure majorly made up of streams), Billboard confirms the ‘Work’-led work has only recently crossed the 500,000 mark…in pure sales.

Tragic or triumphant?  It’s a matter of perspective we suppose.

But, while the ‘Cheers’ singer and her team lift up a glass to ‘Anti’s continued “success,” we encourage you to tuck in below to check out who else is occupying the Billboard 200’s upper rankings alongside the Bajan beauty this week:
