Thanks to Rihanna and Fifth Harmony, there are two ‘Work’s rocking the upper echelon of the Billboard Hot 100 this week.
Full story below…
Per the latest tally, Bajan wailer RiRi extends her stay atop of the chart with the Drake assisted ‘Work.’
Cementing her status as one of today’s top digital dominators, the 28-year-old’s feat is powered by gargantuan streaming numbers for the Dancehall kissed cut (28 million US streams in the week ending March 31st).
Radio remains a major component of the song’s success, with the track boasting 120 million audience impressions within said tracking week.
Elsewhere, Epic’s Fifth Harmony have ample cause for celebration.
‘Work From Home,’ the lead single from their sophomore album ‘7/27’ (due May 20th), has become the group’s first Stateside top 10 -rising #12-#10. Prior to now, the Platinum coated ‘Worth It’ was their closest effort (peaking at #12).
Digital sales of the Ty Dolla $ign featured single peaked at 89,000 by the close of counting, while amassed US streams were to the tune of 14.4 million (up 20% from the preceding week). On the radio front, the song is sitting pretty with a colossal audience of 49 million.
**************
Kudos where due! Granted 5H get our vote for the better ‘Work,’ it’s clear both songs have had a commanding spell on the masses. It will be interesting to see how follow-up tracks fare in the wake of the strong foundation both cuts have established.

Good for her!
Have your moment gurl
11 years, 14 #1’s, over 200 million record sold is a moment? ok…
I really don’t f***ING get it anymore! This is the absolute worst song in the past decade and all she says is Work work work work work and the rest you can’t even tell WTF she’s saying. People officially have no more taste or standards in what they listen to.

You sad because the masses think otherwise? You probably bend over and start twerking when it comes on stop being a hater.
But you had no issue when 7/11 was slaying top 20.
These songs are nothing in common other than the name WORK. Anyway, I thought that Queen who’s single that was performed in front of 100 million stopped Rihanna. Where is Formation?
Congrats Rihanna Selena and Fifth Harmony these girls making major moves right now.
Odd. I have yet to hear the song a single time. Not on radio not on the internet not anywhere. The Navy must still be streaming the 5h1t outta that song on their phones, tablets and computers 24/7.
You know you have this song downloaded on your Boost Moble phone. The lies. lol
The lying is not desperate and evident. Seethe lightly dear.

Congratulations Rihanna –
The only Black female artist to chart at #1 this entire decade thus far with 9 #1 singles.
–
I believe she will remain at #1 for at least one more week or two before Lukas Graham’s “7 Years” or Meghan Trainor’s “NO” dethrones it.
–
The Millenial Queen of the Hot 100; The Digital Era; The Streaming Era. 🙂
No will get it in two weeks. I’m calling it. But I want Work to get 10 or 12 weeks.
As do I, however “7 Years” is fast increasing in downloads and streaming albeit Rihanna is the first artist to accumulate 25 + million streams in 6 consecutive weeks.
–
I want ‘WORK’ for at least nine weeks.

*Prays*
The hive can’t call work trash when Bey has released songs like Videophone, 7/11, and Formation.

What kind of slayage? THE QUEEN. 😉 😉 😉
Rihanna is hands down Queen of Digital Pop. The crown his hers.
I like that title @MARK…
The Queen of Digital Pop. I also like The Millenial Queen of Pop and The Queen of Urban-Pop.
Queen Of Urban Pop is taken by Aaliyah. I like Digital Pop because she started at the start of that age and runs it.
YESSSSS @ “The Queen of Digital Pop”!
I agree, but I think she’s even bigger! I think that she’s the last true rockstar and the queen of the hip-hop generation.
Queen of EDM. Who can touch WFL?
You’re right! There’s been many imitators and reductive duplicators, but none have come even an iota close.
Aaliyah? Queen of Urban pop? LMAO! Have she outsold Destiny Child? Oh wait, the standard is high, shudve set it lower, have her highest selling album outsold Born To Die? Or have it outsold “4closure” after 15 years with cassettes? Didn’t 7/11 outsold try again? Grammy? VMA? Queen of what? Queen o flop? The founder for Grammyless Club?
In the UK. But who cares, she flop in both states?
Navy! Stream Anti non stop. Play it on repeat and mute it. We want it BACK at #1 next week. Pass it on.
Prime example of why people don’t like streaming!! LMFAO! What kinda Navy? B6 will show you h***
Congrats RiRi
Most cumulative weeks at #1 on the Hot 100:
1) Mariah Carey – 72 weeks.
2) The Beatles – 59 weeks.
3) Rihanna – 58 weeks.

COME ON NAVY… Let that song SLAY for at least two more weeks to break The Beatles Record!
Congrats Rih !!!
Sam can praise his faves hood anthems like 7/11 and Formation but Work is a problem ?
Correction Mariah has 79 weeks at # 1 on the Hot 100
The navy only agreed to stream and support till week seven… Now we are moving on to Kiss It Better and Needed Me.
Exactly
Congrats to her.How many black women topping the charts for 7 weeks this decade?? What a huge accomplishment! Don’t forget, the song had no major television performance in the US.She skipped the Grammys.
“Kamikaze if you think that you gon knock me off the top”
But the excuse is that Formation is not charting because it is only available for streaming
‘
KANYE STREAMS INTO THE FOREFRONT
Although sales will likely account for a minuscule piece of his total (The Life of Pablo is for sale only on his website), Kanye West may be a contender for #1 on our next Sales + Plus Streaming (SPS) chart. Since going wide to Spotify, Apple Music and other services last week, preliminary data suggests Pablo (G.O.O.D./Def Jam) is on track for some 90m streams, which would put him at 60k+ SEA.
This would, as far as we know, be the first time an album hit #1 SPS with virtually no sales—a benchmark for the new era.

#ShotsFired #FACTS #TheyWillStillMakeUpLameExcuses
I guess we have to wait one more week for Anti to return to the #1 spot.

I need that headline, Rihanna beats Beatles record, scores #1 album and #1 single in the same week
Work is the Uptown Funk of 2016. It’s become this Lochness Monster of a hit that will undoubtedly leave a mark for the rest of the year. Now, once Work loses its grip on the top spot, I want Kiss It Better to be the next smash. With the right promotion, it certainly has the potential to be bigger than Work.
My heart and soul cried tears of joy and rejoiced when I heard the good news. Honestly, I set the goal for the single to last at #1 for 8 weeks, but I just want “The Little Engine that Could” to truck forth and press on for 10 weeks at #1. If she gets to 11 weeks, even if they’re not all consecutive, I’m gonna play “Independent Women” all day long.
That black girl in Fifth Harmony fine as hell. Damn she fine! Anyways, congrats Fenty! #SinglesQueen
Up! Up! Up! Loving the success of “Work”! #ItsACaribbeanThing
Congratulations to Riri and Selena Gomez and 5th harmony girls
7 weeks @ #1 is an amazing feat. Congrats baby girl.
Lukas graham should be number 1!!
LOL This pathetic song 7 weeks at the top of Billboard hot 100. It´s devastating although everybody knows it doesn´t mean s*** anymore. Especially when you can absolutely never match your singles supposed succes (due to its basicness and radio appeal more than anything) with some real album success. She´s basic and will continue to be. Her career almost died last year, until they decided they had to go back to releasing crap once again (Work) cause nobody was buying Rihanna trying to release better music. She´ll just disappear the moment they don´t cook generic singles prepared for nowadays terrible radio taste for her. Like I said, it almost happened last year already and she´s not even 30. If it wasn´t for her looks… lol Jennifer Lopez teas mates! LOL Although Lopez can at least dance 🙂
And the Navy tries to make fun of Demi…. The delusion
