Could the music business be any stranger?
Rihanna rolled out what many have deemed her most unintelligible single yet in the form of ‘Work.’ But in an add turn of events, not only is it besting previous releases – it’s on-course to become one of her most successful releases on the US charts…ever.
According to Billboard, the Drake drenched number has officially registered its 8th week atop of the Hot 100.
The feat, powered by 27 million US digital streams (down only 6% from the previous week) and solid radio play, sees Rih tie The Beatles for most time logged at #1 on the chart (59 total weeks).
Mariah Carey is the only act ahead of the pair, boasting a colossal 79 collective weeks at #1.
*************
Being the fair and unbiased outlet we are, we’ll give credit where due. Somehow Team Rih have managed – in the absence of album sales – to establish a successful face to the ‘ANTI’ era.
Still, we are the business of keeping it 100%. Hence, that is where the applause starts and stops.
‘Work,’ for all its wind and grind ability, just isn’t this deserving.
There’s no denying “singles” are Ms. Fenty’s forte, yet even by that standard, ‘Work’ falls short. It packs none of the dynamite of ‘Diamonds’ and doesn’t veer close to the quality of the sonic cousin ‘What’s My Name.’
What’s more, it’s alarming we live in time where the infinitely superior ‘Kiss It Better’ flops for points and drunk slurring dominates.
Sigh.

Congratz to her!
@Sam I live for your shade towards Rihanna, but don’t be rude! She is not ‘drunk slurring’ she is sining her naive tongue dialect.
*singing
Lol Sam told no lies with this one. The girl was drinking and smoking while recording this. Saw the behind the scenes footage.
Wow actually giving credit? Proud of u
And you get a certificate of completion for being another one of the thousands of people seeking validation from the internet *claps hands*
What are u upset about? I was speaking too @hailbeysus ma’am
Bitxh hasn’t that new strain of STDs killed you yet? LordT knows what else you picked up in them truck stop bathroom stalls giving blumpkins to 54+ year old men ???
LMAO QUEEN RIRI GOT STRUGGLEYONCES BUG NEST SO MAD THEY CAN’T SEE STRAIGHT! LMAO
#THATRIHANNAREIGNTHO
Exactly how is the Hive seething or pressed when for the last 6 POST IN A ROW! The gavvy were the ones who mentioned Beyoncé lmfao!
Why would anybody be mad about you typing through a Metro PCS phone?
Beyonce is Beyonce… and Rihanna is Rihanna.
.
Neither is shook of anybody.
.
They’re both doing they’re thing!
@IStan4Rihanna you just might be taking @IspeakTruth top Navy commenter for me. You always come through with a well grounded argument and have been leaving more unbiased comments lately.
aint you a gaga Stan tho @lol. Welp I would say I understand the switch but riri & shemale are almost in same category
LOL ALL THESE ROACH COMMENTS ONLY MEAN ONE THING…
Y’ALL
ARE
MAD.
LMAO NOW STAY MAD AND GO TRY TO FIND FLOPNATION ON THE CHARTS…ANY CHART LMAO.
#RIRIGOTTHESEROACHESSTRESSED
Oh, shut the fůćķ up Samantha… please. LMFAO.
.
This “BLACK WOMAN” has now tied a record with a half-century old, White Pop-Rock group (regardless of how ‘legendary’) and… you’re mad? If the song has been streamed over 27+ million times this week alone then people are clearly enjoying the song and still streaming it. The song will most likely fall to #2 next week because of ‘7 Years’ or ‘Panda’ so you can breathe again but for now…
.
8 WEEKS! YES! 😉 😉 😉
The haters wanted rih to fail so bad what haters don’t know is there is a higher power that hate cannot touch rih believes in God and she is rewarded with blessing the hives are the worst fan base on the planet
Yaaaassssss Praise him honey! You better give a praise report in such a frivolous manner.
LOL THE BEDBUGS ARE JUST MAD BECAUSE EVEN IGGY AZALEA CHARTED HIGHER THAN FLOPNATION LOL.
LOL This is ridiculous. The song has been out of the top 5 or top 10 of itunes for a while now. How is it still #1? Is mainstream scene really that appalling nowadays that there´s no song out there radio can pick up and get this terrible and generic song out of that spot? Seriously, must be the biggest joke of a long running #1 song ever. She had flopped with all her previous releases for this album, she ended going totally generic once again so that people could pay attention, and that was it? Is it that easy? Releasing a terrible song which repeates the same word again and again with the help of some payola and voila? LOL At least a few years ago that would mean a one or two week #1 song. But 8 weeks? LOL It´s crazy. Nobody sane takes it seriously though so it´s ok.
It’s called the power of her f****** navy and everything aint for everyone so your pathetic self go listen,to what,you like maybe people just want a irie song to feel good and jam to
LOL AWW YOUR BOOTY SORE CUZ EVEN WALDO CAN’T FIND FLOPMATION ON ANY CHART? LOL
Like I care for Formation or Beyonce! LOL These stans are pathetic. Rihanna is a joke. And nobody needs to be a Beyonce fan to understand that. 🙂
Congrats Miss RiRi…RiRi and Aubrey straight slaying the Hot 100 chile!

Singles artist
Congrats to the biggest selling Black female artist of all time!!! She is now second only to Madonna as the biggest selling female artist of all time….I hate this b****!! She just keeps making history.
I HOPE it gets nine weeks though I don’t think it will… UGH!!!
…
7 Years or Panda is gonna overtake it next week!
Wow. Work is a cute bop. But I didn’t expect it to be number 1 for long. Maybe a week tops but 8 weeks.
Messy era but she still happened to win.
That reign just won’t let up
Thank God u changed ur avi, I was having nightmares daily.
i cant help that “nigeria” sent demons to plague you in the night
Lmao, you wrong for that but no lies detected….
when compared to the greats like Mimi, Beatles even Mj with less #1 its makes riri look like a joke. She better thank God for payola and currently streaming.
#singles artist.
lmao your opinion < actual facts
You mad b**** that rih up there with the greats and not your fav I hope you haters have nightmares tonight vomit and choke in your sleep the fact a little girl from the island came here and achieve what your thunder thigh so call queen not even mention she is under the bubbling and under chicken coup asking the chickens to get into Formation
Rihanna is of this generation the Beatles sang Lolipop songs back in the day until they started breaking records that’s how the Beatles became legends mariah did not get respect either they kept comparing her to Whitney it was ridiculous even though she had a voice wrote her own music Whitney did not so you haters trying to belittle rih accomplishment
LMFAO Sam continue to stay pressed f**!
oldbitch seems extra pressed as of late. why dos a rihanna record make you mad?
LOOOOOOOOOL… The SEETHING is real!
…
Y u so mad SAMANTHA?
…
Rih is breaking records and you’re writing dissertations trying to fault them? LOOOOOOOOOOL. STAY MAD!
#TheFemaleJasonDerulo
When will HeHe?
When will Dumbyonce?
YAWN every Stan on TGJ automatically has an advantage over you because our faves actually have record deals.
Ghetto hoodboogers will never have an advantage over me
haaa .. and Ciara is actually a man
And you sound like broken record
Lol! True!
It who’s the female Ciara??
Your moms
And I still want to know how do you hide your d###, since you admit to having one
B**** Ciara is all woman. Rihanna is ET and Barrenyonce has no eggs. #SurrogateTeas
#WELP HEara has abs, strong pecs and a humongous d*ck… What’s not to love!
But who’s the female Ciara??
NOT ‘who’s the female Ciara’ ??????
Your moms
Is that a trick question? Bwahaha ????
‘Your moms’
—
That doesn’t even make sense in this context? I still wanna know who the female ciara is!?
And I still want to know how do you hide your d###?
IN YOUR MOUTH! ?
You’re confusing me with your mom
NO, I’m confusing you with HeHe! My badt !!! You’re both MEN, so that’s probably why I got confused!
So you fantasize about Ciara? I knew you had a lesbian crush on her.
#WELP HEara has abs, strong pecs and a humongous d*ck… What’s not to love!
ABSOLUTE DEATH!!! ???????????
In other words she has the same thing you do
Suck my D @Cinnabon!
YASSSSS to Rihanna for slaying the billboard hot 100 with an unapologetically dancehall song! I am all the way here for this and her “unintelligable” patois (?) slay on Rih!! ✊?✊?
By the time she turns 30 she will have beaten Mariah’s record as well ! What a bad lil betch from the islands !
Funny to think she was suppose to be a ” one hit wonder ” to eventually becoming the youngest to have the most hits !
LOL AND REMEMBER WHEN THE ROACHES SAID THAT FLOPMATION WOULD END THIS ERA? LMFAO
She truly deserves all her success and accolades. From being a so called “one hit wonder” to now having 14 number one singles and all of her “sales”. She truly works hard and it shows. And that’s coming from a Mariah Stan! Props when due!
Who… What… I’ve never heard this song ?
Not too bad for the island girl.
@Cinnamon Girl
“Ghetto hoodboogers will never have an advantage over me”
Please! You are living in a trailer park and eating spam on Ritz.
KIIII!!!!
And you’re living in a Section 8 apartment with a welfare queen
congratulations! you get a certificate of completion for being a broke ass b**** lmfao
And I now crown you the King of Hoodboogers
Kii broke b****! You probably wish yo p**** with mayonnaise
As the King of Hoodboogers, how do you intend to represent all of the ghetto hoodboogers of America?
I am way too fly to be dealin with your trashy ass right now.
Carry On!
This is huge congrats rih and her navy
That grape juice the only ones who love kiss it better. It’s a good song but no everyone is here for it, the best song on the album for me is needed me and close to you.
The roaches are always so MAD!
Congratulations Queen! I don’t understand people calling this generic. Who else is on the radio singing in Carrribean/Bajan tongues? Who else is releasing Dancehall that can impact any chart in the US. Give credit where it is due.
Work is the undeniable smash of 2016 as UFunk was last year. I can’t wait to see the music section in the 2016 guiness book of world records. It’s going to be a giant cut out of Rihanna and that’s it!
Im actually starting to get WORK, not its success but its minimalistic production & clever non-direct chain of lyrics in a almost timed as in say all the words before the track runs out of seconds lyrical delivery. I get it but 8 wks at #1 tho. ???? By the standards rih has set DC3 should have 9 #1s & bey 15 #1s. Btw if u count beys entire run at #1 bey isnt far behind with 53 weeks clocked with less #1s… 9 as aposed to 14. Once again bey wins with less just like Charmin vs the dollar store tissue lol #MACRIHONOLDS
LOL GIRL BYE WITH YOUR MADE UP STATS LOL.
RIHANNA’S STATS ARE FACTUAL DEAR, NO NEED TO MAKE UP SHIIT LIKE YOU DELUSIONAL BUGS HAVE TO LOL.
Is this one of her longest #1s ?
I sit should be clear as to why the song is still number one . Everyone got parodies and twerking videos on YouTube of it. Also you can use it with everything. In later for work work work. Do t wanna go to work work work. Lol and she on tour sonic sure people are buying and streaming it after the concert . Everyday j go to the gym I stream this song lol.
BTW is CANTi still STALLED at 300k US ??? 1 mill WW yet ??? It has been 3 months & FORMATION iz fast approaching.
Has Formation topped the bubbling under charts yet fat ass?
Are all of Mrs Mans last 5 albums still stuck at Double Sheet Rock or Aluminum???
Is Madam Camel’s photoshopped thigh gap as funky as her halitosis breath?
When is Mrs Man gunna complete her full transition? I mean Future out hear spilling all his tea kiii!!
When is Beyonce gonna pay her surrogate?
First off it’s already platinum in the US.
345k pure sales (US Only)
770k sales +streaming (US only)
1.25 million WW.
Soon to be double platinum in the US. So please have a seat hoee.
I predicted this song would have a huge cultural impact and I was right!

@JACKED
U cant be trying it when yur fav MANERROR JACKED makes CANTi look like 25.
Like I said. It’s always funny that the hive loves to compare rih sales and Beyonce sales. But when it comes to Taylor and Adele it’s ” their white!” ” they do pop music so of course they sell better” ” their not Beyonce peers” okay rihanna isn’t Beyonce peer either but you compare them lol
Holla at me when Formation out charts DLWML.
@ diabetic stroke you are the most pressed leaky bottom hive up here. It’s funny how you have to add Beyonce plus destiny child ( two completely dofferent acts)just to ATTEMPT to come close to rihanna record lol 59> 53 and 14> 9 it’s still less no matter how you add it. Get your obesseded ass a hobby and xanax. Beyonce wouldn’t even p*** on you of you were on fire.
Rihanna kiss it better #80 on hot 100 and needed me has jumped to #47 on the hot 100 with no video. Needed has the potential to be the next number one song if they play their cards right.
Sam bias is is so real. The fact that a black female who has been in this industry for a decade is breaking or trying records with legends is extremely impressive and needs congrulations? Not petty jabs. It’s funny that Sam will always praise Beyonce and Janet to the high heaven like they are scanning diamond for their little feats. But when rihanna is thing records with legends he’s pulling for straws to discredit her.
Now she just needs 21 more weeks @ #1 & she’ll beat MC’s record too.
Since the hive wants to compare sales. Adele 25 (6 months) : 8.5 million. Taylor Swift 1989 ( 1 1/2 year and a half) 5.73 million. Beyonce self titled ( 2,1/2 years) 2.3 million. Now compare those album sales please 🙂
But WHY is RIHFUND Just now surpassing Beys run with only 9 #1s in a 10 year period 1999 to 2009. Thats pathetic for 14 #1s rih should have been passed Bey. #THESTRUGGLE #460 #STILLCHRISBREZZYSTATUS #NIKKISLESSOR #BLUEIVYSCOMB!
Since you wanna compare artist compare this Adele 25 (6 months) : 8.5 million. Taylor Swift 1989 ( 1 1/2 year and a half) 5.73 million. Beyonce self titled ( 2,1/2 years) 2.3 million. Now compare those album sales please 🙂
she tied the beatles who have 20 to her 14, logic?

#RIHANNA’SPUSSYRAG
GTF OFF RIHANNA’S POST. AND GO COMMENT ON BEYONCE THE ‘COMMERCIAL QUEEN’ POST P**!.
QUESTION: Why has Blue Ivys Comb not sold 500k in the US yet ??? Drake does these numbers why cant FRIH????
LOL STILL WAITING ON YOU TO COMPARE ADELE AND TAYLOR TO THAT FLOPMATION S**** LOL…
All this she’s still having to give away her albums and tours for free. The kiiis write themselves.
Does anyone know why Sam hates Rihanna so much?
Oop, congrats Rihanna. Tying the Beatles record, mentioned among legends once more. Next stop, come for Mimi Rih, slay.
Mariah’s gonna call Bey to drop B6 like she called Adele to drop Hello when Ariana Grande was bout dropping focus.
LOL IF FLOPMATION COULDN’T STOP RIHANNA, WHAT IS FLOP6 SUPPOSED TO DO? LOL
Mimi speaking on #1 hits
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij3SnBaFHQc
Mariah’s shade is still as sweet as the honey straight off a bees’ ass
That comment along makes her a legend! Dissing Icky right in front of her face on LIVE tv, using Rihanna’s song as a reference, Mariah having the most #1’s for a female and solo artist, Rihanna is #3, Nicky still to this day doesn’t have a #1. She even tried by hopping on already #1 songs. lol
I hope she beats We Found Love record. Other than No by Megan, I don’t see any songs topping it for another week or so.
These are my predictions:
.
1. Panda 361 (+4)
2. Work 361 (-1)
3. 7 Years 353 (-1)
4. NO 284 (-1)
5. Work From Home 272 (+4)
6. I Took A Pill In Ibiza 270 (+2)
7. Pillowtalk 269 (-3)
8. Love Yourself 265 (-2)
9. My House 246 (-2)
10. Me, Myself & I 243 (=)
11. Stressed Out 236 (=)
12. Cake By The Ocean 229 (=)
13. One Dance 227 (+8)
.
‘PANDA’ accumulated 22 million streams this past week, amd has junoed from #14 – #5, whereas ‘WORK’ accumulated 27 million streams this past week If anything, ‘PANDA’ will surpass ‘7 Years’ and be #1 next week. ‘WORK’ is decreasing on all formats especially sales and slightly on airplay but I am PRAYING that it racks up a 9th week even if the gap is by a small margin. Mark… #Pray49thWeek. LOL!
Omg! And an amazing song like 7 years by lukas Graham is only at 2.
Shut up f**, that song sucks.
It’s amazing! It’s song of the year so far!
It’s so cheesy! lol
I don’t think so. The song actually moves me. Rihanna song does nothing.
The song is not even selling that well. Charts are a joke that no one takes seriously. She can and will never be on any legends level.
Samsung buying work so no mimarriedbiguy@yahoo.com ain’t worried
Mimi ain’t worried
Whats taking blue ivys comb so long to scan 500k US or go Plat with Work for that matter. I dont recall a post on work selling 1 mill. Even Cerror culd do that. As did STinky minaj with flop print. Why wont CANTi pull in #s?
Congratulations! Good for her!
It’s at #14 on itunees. How the hell is it still #1?
if you knew anything you would realise that its #3 on radio and #1 on streaming. People consume music differently and it was #12 on sales.
Payola and streaming from people who want to see some s*** bodies give you #1s now. It´s pathetic. At least everybody knows these forgettable #1s don´t mean anything anymore. Her fans will continue to believe she´s on Mariah, Whitney, Michael, Madonna, Stevie´s level though LOL
Wasn’t bulla man Sam the same one saying that diamonds was lack luster…and look now he praising it lol this fool is a flip flopper
P-A-Y-O-L-A
And they said formation is gonna slay anti. Beyonce–who??formation–what??b6–where??
the hate is real. keep on slaying my QUEEN and keep on making dem haters pressed#Riri’sImpact
All hail the queen!!
the hate is real.keep on slaying my QUEEN and keep on making dem haters pressed #Riri’sImpact
Who needs to know the words when the beat vibes and hook have ya body do things you dont usually do (not in my case lol)
Caribbean flavor reigning and I still love it.
Don’t seeth just twerk
Stfu about Beyonce song formation and this post is about Rihanna fenty so Congrats to Riri
“Work”-Rihanna and ” Sorry ” -JB both have dancehall rhythms.
Congrats Rihanna!
