This afternoon, Rihanna dropped the visuals for her chart-burner “Work” off her eighth studio album ANTI.

The Boi-1da-produced track is the lead single off ANTI, which has already been certified platinum.

In the video's first-half, directed by X, Rihanna and her co-star Drake tear up the dance floor inside a Caribbean restaurant.

RiRi and Drake can be seen getting more intimate in the club's VIP section, in the video's second-half, which was directed by Tim Erem.

Shortly after dropping the video, “Work” rose to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track becomes Rihanna’s 14th single to top the chart, pushing her past Michael Jackson for the third most No. 1s of all-time.

This isn't the first time the pop megastars have teamed up, RiRi and Drake appeared together on Drizzy’s “Take Care” in 2011 and in RiRi’s 2010 jam “What’s My Name?
