Chart Check: Adele Reigns Atop Singles Chart, Rihanna Rises

Published: Wednesday 12th Oct 2011 by Rashad

With their battle at the 2011 American Music Awards forthcoming, it seems the competition is already heating up on the charts.  For chart titan Adele, the premiere of the ‘Someone Like You’ visual two weeks ago undoubtedly assisted its (re-)ascension to the top spot.  The cut, the latest lifted from her multiplatinum ’21’ LP, moved ‘Moves Like Jagger’ from its previous reign – checking Christina Aguilera and co. into the #2 spot for the third week in a row.

Rihanna, on the other hand, is finding herself getting two steps closer to dethroning the soulful songstress as ‘We Found Love’ rises from 9-7 in its second week on charts.  And, with its accompany visual’s upcoming release, the song will assuredly get the boost it needs to get into the top 5 (if not top the tally).

Otherwise, the charts saw little movement with David Guetta and Usher‘s ‘Without You’ remaining at #8 for a second week and chart titan Lady Gaga‘s ‘You & I’ rebounding to round out the top 10 at #10.

    Rihanna IS THE QUEEN.
    Haters will have to deal.

    I laugh at yall bringing tired list released months ago in order to diss her.
    Fact is Rihanna made $29Million at 23yo.
    Rihanna has already made MULTIPLE Forbes list of richest under 30yo. Rihanna been making the list since she was 19yo

    Beyonce has NEVER made ANY Forbes list until after she reached 25 yo.

    Go sit down and watch Rihanna go to the top of that list next year with the income from her record breaking Loud tour.

  16. MINDBLOWIN October 12, 2011

    The girl had to become a s** toy to keep ppl attention and that is SAD!!!! She had to sell herself short to keep SOME ppl interested or talking about her. The only reason We Found Love is doing okay is bc of that video or p*** or whatever you wanna call it had ppl talking and not in a good way. Wow if this is what female artists have to do to stay in the music industry then yes MUSIC IS DEAD!!!!

  17. winning October 12, 2011

    I prefer DUFFY to Adele… seriously

    And Im happy that Rihanna keeps rising

    HATE is so 2008

  18. Those That Cannot Do, Stan October 12, 2011

    Congratulations to Rihanna and Adele.

  19. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) October 12, 2011

    I like the title.”Chart check”.It sounds good 😳 😎

    Anyway, ‘SLY’ is a lovely song, so I’m glad that it’s getting some success, but I REALLY hope that it’s not going to get insanely criminally overplayed like ‘Rolling In The Deep’ because then all the magic (the little that has remained) will be gone 🙁

    Now who would have told me 5 months later that Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera would churn out a song that would become the absolute smash and defining anthem of summer 2011.I really cannot wait to see what position it will reach in the year-end chart.It’s already double platinum in the US and it keeps going 😀 😀

    i’m rootin for Adele all the way 🙂

  23. commanderofthedancefloor October 12, 2011

    @MINDBLOWIN,

    the not even released video is what made we found love top 10, the song debuted at #16 all by itself without any visuals and it was two weeks before she even began production on the video. this video/ porno which you have not seen either boosted the song, i dont think so keep making up excuses for why rihanna keeps selling.

  24. Ealdorman October 12, 2011

    **********************

    You might as well pull out your best black attire, buy flowers and prepare for the funeral march. The music industry is rigged and this hot mess they call a song will top the charts trust that. Quality music falls by the way side garbage rises to the top –> *cough* E. freakin’ T…. BLOW…. etc.

    When is she going to be touring again?

  28. RIHHI5 October 12, 2011

    After she roared to her 20th Hot 100 top 10 last week, reaching the milestone faster than any other solo artist in the chart’s history, Rihanna’s “We Found Love,” featuring Calvin Harris, bumps 9-7. The first single from “Talk That Talk,” due Nov. 21, charges 39-23 on Radio Songs, up 36% to 44 million. The cut ascends 6-5 on Digital Songs (144,000).

    someone let me know if i’m wrong but maroon 5 and christina have held the #1 spot for 3 and adele has held it for 2 straight weeks if she’s in that spot next week. they’ve been wrestling over # 1 for about 6 weeks or more.

    The One That Got Away will be slaying soon too 🙂

  41. I’ma have to send her to her maker October 12, 2011

    This has been breaking news for a while. Big whoop.

  42. Alex October 12, 2011

    I hope to the heavens that Rihanna does not reach #1.

    I personally don’t think she will.

    That song is more generic than any skinny blonde model.

    It will not reach #1.

    It’s sales are already declining. The only reason it has ascended has been to the fact that the other top 10 hits are older and this is why their sales are declining much more rapidly.

    We Found Love:
    1st week sales: 147,000
    2nd Week sales: 144,000 (down 2%)

    This is all according to BillBoard

    Adeleobese needs to lay off dem cheeseburgers and start makin better music cus ur music is SH!TE and Rigoat who the f*** she think she is her and Kerri are desperate for p****!!! Beyonce slays once again

  46. gdub October 13, 2011

    Rihanna doesn’t need to promote this song.. its radio fast food.. its not hard to digest.. there’s nothing to it.. euro POP is where its at.. beyonce should come out with a sweet dreams style cd… So people can see how many 1s she would get off of that. It’s the star power plus the crappy music that makes hits.. I love rhi tho. Beybey needs to make POP remixes people would eat that up.

  47. Ms Lovely October 13, 2011

    @TRUTH TELLER

    Girl have several seats with them b******* lies!!!!! Beyonce has been on the Forbes list with destiny’s child(19/20yrs) back in 2001 , made the list as solo artist in 2003(21/22yrs) and has since then remain a fixture on the list. Rihanna has yet to make it on the list, but her fellow peers(Gaga,taylor and Katy perry) have all mad the list. I bet Adele will make the list next year before rihanna.lol

    Dead @ Rihanna earning that amount,and she still can’t make Forbes list.

    Why do the Rihanna stans lie so much?!?

    Here’s the lastest list from Forbes and rihanna is no where to be found. Even with all the projects she had from last to this point.

    2. Lady GaGa – $90 Million

    3. Bethenny Frankel – $55 Million

    4. Gisele Bundchen – $45 Million

    5. Ellen Degeneres – $45 Million

    6. Judge Judy – $45 Million

    7. Taylor Swift – $45 Million

    8. Katy Perry – $44 Million

    9. Beyonce Knowles-Carter – $35 Million

    10. Danielle Steele – $35 Million

  48. JohnVidal October 13, 2011

    Ok I would like someone with as much talent as Adele to detrone her already, you know some competition. But oh well, this is not the 90´s so THANK God for Adele, cos that Rihanna song just can´t get a #1 please I´m begging now. Are people retarded????? LOL It is the most generic and worst song I´ve ever heard, and I´m not even talking about her horrible voice or something. This time even her producers work is the lamest thing ever. Go Adele abd Moves like Jagger. They can stay on top for months if it is necessary to stop the crap

  49. linker nippel October 13, 2011
