With the huge critical success of Anti, also 'Work' being #1 for nine weeks now, and with 'Needed Me' going down the same path - It's seeming like it.

There was a lot of talk after Rih was given the Icon award that the next album would really prove it, did Anti prove that she's an icon and a staple in the music industry?

Yes

even without promoting, she managed to turn ANTI era around. how does she do it. QUEEN

Idk, her career hasn't improved. She's just brought it back to where it was and has gained some more interest/respect musically. But her success is so immense that I think she was already an icon.

absolutetly no

I wouldn't call ANTI a 'huge critical success', but yes. An icon and a legend in the making.

No, definitely not.

Rihanna has been an icon for years now, ANTI made her a legend.

Anti sold like 5k or something, ANTI was literally the pits, the only reason its doing "well" is because of the changes to streaming, i cried tears of laughter when they changed it because she was literally the biggest artist to flop in this current decade.

numbers don't lie henny, ANTI was not ANTICIPATED

besides the fact her voice is subpar at best compared to the likes of actual singers.

Yes

Gworl, you ain't slick

She already was an icon.

No. Her fashion is definitely more iconic than her music.

No, she was already an icon.

Absolutely yes

No, but it did make her a LEGEND

A lot of critics hailed it as her most compelling record to date and that we witnessed a departure from her previous sound.

I would call an album that has high profile reviews like these hugely successful.

When LOTB smashes yes

Isn't it going to go 2x platinum by the end of the year? Poor others

It will be 2x platinum in the US in less than one month. Poor haters
