Rihanna revealed she hasn’t drank for a whole year in her latest Instagram post.

The 36-year-old pop icon brought on the New Year with a bang taking to social media to give her 150 million followers a glimpse into her festivities.

Surrounded by mates, Rihanna - real name Robyn Rihanna Fenty - could be seen holding an iPhone in her hand which counted down from five until the musician yelled out smiling: "Happy New Year!"

Take a look here:

It was then that the mother-of-two - who shares sons RZA and Riot with fiancé A$AP Rocky (Rakim Athelaston Mayers) - beamed: "Ya'll, I didn't drink all year."

As we say, in the caption, the singer - who also happens to be the best-selling female recording artist of the 21st century - wrote: "New Year, New Me."

Not all fans want a new RiRi this year, however - what they do want is new music.

In fact, some seemingly believed that her countdown was going to launch a batch of never-before-heard singles, a music video, or possibly a fully fledged album.

"Does this version drop music?" one demanded.

Another joked: "new year new me? SO THATS NEW MUSIC RIGHT."

A third asked: "New year new you new album ?"

"Yeah you didn’t drop any music all year either," another disgruntled fan noted.

Another confessed: "I thought it was the countdown for the album drop."

"Girl it’ll make 9 years since anti dropped… it needs to be new year, new music sis," a final Instagram user pleaded.

Rihanna hasn't dropped a new album since way back in January 2016, when Anti - which featured tracks like 'Consideration', 'Work', 'Love On The Brain' and 'Needed Me' - graced our headphones.

And, after a long nine years, it's no wonder we're all gagging for our next dose of RiRi magic, but it seems we'll have to wait some more given how busy she is with all of her current pursuits, including Fenty Beauty, Savage X Fenty, Fenty Skin, Fenty Hair and raising a family.

A few months back in October, the Fenty Lingerie founder told People exactly what get-up she dons when hanging out with her two sons, aged two-and-a-half and 17 months.

"Anything that's cosy, anything that's stretchy, anything that's easy to bend down and pick my kids up in. Those are the things I look for," she shared.

"Things that don't scratch me, don't scratch them. We've got a lot of work to do in a day of a life of a mum."
