Rihanna Makes History with 100 Million Spotify Listeners

Rihanna has officially crossed a remarkable milestone, surpassing 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify for the first time in her career. According to the Ratings Game Music (RGM) website, this achievement makes her the eleventh artist in the platform’s history to reach this significant benchmark. The announcement was made on October 17, 2025, by Pop Base, igniting celebrations across social media platforms.

Fans were quick to express their excitement over the news, especially considering that Rihanna has not released a new album since her acclaimed work, ANTI, in 2016. Many supporters took to X to celebrate her enduring influence in the music industry. One user noted the impressive feat of maintaining such popularity without new releases, while others praised her timeless appeal, which resonates across generations. However, some users questioned the authenticity of her streaming numbers, suggesting they may have been artificially inflated.

Rihanna’s Personal Milestones

This achievement comes at a time when Rihanna is also celebrating significant personal milestones. On September 13, 2025, she welcomed her third child, a daughter named Rocki Irish Mayers, with rapper A$AP Rocky. The singer shared the joyous news on Instagram on September 25, posting heartwarming images of baby Rocki, who was dressed in a pink onesie, along with a close-up of her tiny gloves adorned with ribbons. In one of the photos, Rihanna wore a special ring engraved with the word “Mom.”

The couple first revealed their pregnancy during the 2025 Met Gala on May 5, when Rihanna debuted her baby bump while walking through New York City. A$AP Rocky confirmed the news on the red carpet, sharing their joy with the attending media. The couple are also parents to two sons, RZA, born in 2022, and Riot, born in 2023. Although their family expansion was not meticulously planned, Rihanna has previously expressed her desire for children and her commitment to motherhood on her own terms.

A source close to the couple told People Magazine that they were “thrilled to be growing their family.” The insider added that Rihanna had “always wanted a big family” and was eager to give her boys another sibling. The couple’s decision to have children close in age was intentional, as they wished for their children to “grow up together and share a close bond.”

Focus on Family Life

Since welcoming their daughter, sources have reported that both Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have been “so happy.” An insider shared with Entertainment Tonight that Rihanna has found deep fulfillment in family life and is fully committed to caring for her three children. Currently, her priority is to “be a great mom,” with all other pursuits taking a backseat.

With her remarkable milestone on Spotify and her new role as a mother of three, Rihanna continues to shape her legacy both in music and in her personal life. As she enjoys this new chapter, fans remain eager to see what the future holds for the multi-talented artist, who has proven time and again that her influence extends far beyond the music industry.
