In less than two days since its release, Rihanna’s eighth studio album 'Anti' has gone platinum. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), shared the news in a tweet Friday.

"Congratulations to @Rihanna! #ANTI is officially #RIAAPlatinum. @RocNation @TIDALHiFi"

Rihanna thanked her fans on Twitter Friday after learning her new album went platinum after less than two days on the market.

"THANK U NAVY!!! #ANTI IS PLATINUM!!"

After 'Anti' leaked on TIDAL Wednesday night, it became available to purchase on the streaming site. Soon after its release, Rihanna released a promo code, allowing fans to download the collection for free.

According to Tidal, it was streamed more than 13 million times in the first 14 hours, and was downloaded more than 1 million times. The record then debuted on iTunes Friday with three additional tracks that also became available on Tidal.

The RIAA certified 'Anti' platinum that same day.

2/8/16

Rihanna just landed her second No. 1 album.

The singer’s new release, 'Anti', just hit first place on the Billboard 200 chart, and according to Billboard, the album sold 166,000 units in the week ending Feb. 4. (124,000 of those units were pure album sales.)

Last week, 'Anti' debuted at No. 27 on the list, since it was released towards the end of the tracking week, and this week marks the album’s first full week of sales.

'Anti' was also briefly available to download for free, and those free downloads don’t count toward its chart numbers.

'Anti' first premiered on Tidal on Jan. 28, and according to the music service, it was streamed more than 13 million times in the first 14 hours and was downloaded more than 1 million times.

The Recording Industry Association of America also certified the album as platinum after only two days.

Previously, Rihanna had a No. 1 album with 'Unapologetic' in 2012, which sold 238,000 copies in its first week. All eight of her studio albums have been in the top 10.
