#ThisIsWhatYouCameFor APRIL 29 ⚡️

A video posted by Calvin Harris (@calvinharris) on Apr 28, 2016 at 10:00am PDT

Pop superstar Rihanna shows off her breathtaking figure and rides motorcycle in the killer music video for "Needed Me", the latest single lifted from her 'ANTI' album. Watch it beneath:

As "Work" spends it seventh consecutive week at the summit on the Billboard Hot 100, Rihanna has premiered the video for "Kiss It Better", one of the next two singles that will be released from her 'ANTI' album. Watch the explicit video for the new single beneath:

Rihanna takes charge of both Billboard charts this week!!! As "Work" spends its fifth week atop the Billboard Hot 100, the pop superstar sees her latest album, 'ANTI', rise back to the summit on the Billboard 200 by shifting 54,000 equivalent album units.

Overall, it is the second week that the album has spent at No.1, and only 17,000 were in pure album sales with a whopping 69 percent of the units comprised of TEA and SEA units.

Rounding out the top 5 on the Billboard 200 this week are: '25' by Adele at No.2 with 51,000 units, 'Purpose' by Justin Bieber at No.3 with 48,000 units, 'Hymns' by Joey + Rory at No.4 with 44,000 units and 'Untitled Unmastered' by Kendrick Lamar at No.5 with 38,000 units.

Just two weeks after toying with her inner cowgirl on the cover of British Vogue, pop superstar Rihanna is back with a breathtaking cover for the April 2016 issue of the American edition of Vogue, which boldly proclaims, "It's Rihanna’s World".

In the issue, the "Work" singer gets real about a lot of topics including her long-rumored rivalry with Beyoncé, her current relationship status, Drake and her 'ANTI' album. Excerpts beneath:

On Her Rumored Rivalry With Beyoncé:
"They just get so excited to feast on something that’s negative. Something that’s competitive. Something that’s, you know, a rivalry. And that’s just not what I wake up to. Because I can only do me. And nobody else is going to be able to do that."

On Her Love Life:
"My schedule is so crazy right now. It’s definitely going to be a challenge when I do decide to pursue a relationship … but I have hope!"

On Drake:
"Everything he does is so amazing."

On Her 'ANTI' Album:
"I just gravitated toward the songs that were honest to where I’m at right now. It might not be some automatic record that will be Top 40. But I felt like I earned the right to do that now."

On Breaking Barriers & Feeling Empowered:
"Women feel empowered when they can do the things that are supposed to be only for men, you know? It breaks boundaries, it’s liberating, and it’s empowering when you feel like, Well, I can do that, too."
