Rihanna tops the Hot 100; B.o.B. cracks the top 5
Posted in News on March 17th, 2010 by The Prophet
Rihanna has ended Taio Cruz’s short reign at the top of the charts by racking up her sixth No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Rude Boy”.
This makes RiRi the female artist with the most No. 1 singles since 2000, and she’s done it all in less than four years!
Things started off a little shaky for RiRi in the beginning of the Rated R era, but now I think it’s safe to say that the album has definitely been a success. It may not have sold huge numbers but two top ten hits and a No. 1 is pretty damn good.
In non-Rihanna related news, rapper B.o.B. has made a huge leap on the chart thanks to strong digital sales as his debut single “Nothin’ On You” soars from 16-5.
The hype for Lady GaGa and Beyonce’s “Telephone” video doesn’t seem to have translated into chart success yet with the song only moving from 11-9 this week, but the move into the top ten now ties Bey with Rihanna for the female with the most top ten hits of the 2000’s, with both women on 14.
Meanwhile country group Lady Antebellum are sitting at No. 2 for the second consecutive week with their single “Need You Now”, but they have moved from 4-1 on the radio songs chart, making them only the second country act to do so after Taylor Swifts and her hit “You Belong to Me”.
Give this group of fine young artists a round of applause! *golf claps*
