Hot 100: Rihanna Breaks Major Michael Jackson & Madonna Billboard Records

Published: Wednesday 22nd Feb 2017 by Rashad

The last month has been very kind to Rihanna.

Barring that whole Grammy fiasco, the songstress – who celebrated her 29th birthday on February 20th – kicked the month off by learning her latest single, ‘Love on the Brain,’ was officially certified platinum.  As if that’s not enough, this week the song ascended to the top 10 of the Hot 100.  The upward move not only granted her third trip into the tally’s upper dectet from the ‘Anti’ project alone, but it also came as a historic achievement for her (whose Hot 100 resume knows few equals).

In fact, proof of this comes just 1 year after she broke King of Pop Michael Jackson‘s Hot 100 #1s record , she’s now unseated his record-setting top 10’s record.  Get the details inside:


Rihanna’s ‘Love on the Brain,’ which moved to #8 this week, comes as her 30th top 10 hit on the Hot 100.  Moving her past Michael Jackson’s 29 career top 10 hits, Rih becomes the first and only artist of color to have amassed at least 30 entries into the Hot 100’s top 10.

As if tugging at the King of Pop’s Billboard throne wasn’t enough, the accomplishment also snatches a title from Queen of Pop Madonna.

Via Billboard:

Notably, Rihanna sports the second-fastest accumulation of 30 Hot 100 top 10s (from an act’s first-ever week in the region to the first week in the tier with its 30th). Having first hit the top 10 with “Pon De Replay” on the July 16, 2005-dated chart, she needed 10 years, seven months and two weeks to tally 30 top 10s.

While she’s the leader for the most Hot 100 top 10s, Madonna took 12 years, eight months and two weeks from her first top 10, “Borderline,” to her 30th, “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” (June 16, 1984-March 1, 1997)…

To sum it up, as of this week Rihanna is:

  • First artist of color to have 30 career top 10 hits on the Hot 100
  • Fastest accumulator of 30 career top 10 hits on the Hot 100 among solo artists (male or female)
    • Only The Beatles did it faster

Add to this, she is already:

  • The only artist to have a #1 single from 7 consecutive albums
  • The only female artist of color to have a #1 single this decade
    • Solo & as a featured artist
  • Countless other Hot 100 achievements we can’t even begin to name

There is no other way to spin it:  that Rihanna reign just won’t let up!

    Good for her!!! congratulations.

    • ? + ✈ = ? February 22, 2017

      Good for her I love her music and image. BUT you can’t compare the achievements of yesteryear to the achievements of today. It’s a completely different ball game now. Look at Future he just had a number 1 album with 55k physical sales and next week his next album will probably do the same.

      • Lamb4life February 24, 2017

        Trash music from a trash “artist”

  2. Chileplease (the first and only bih) February 22, 2017

    Great for Rihanna, but Michael released only 6 albums in the 22 years between 1979-2001 (his solo years). Rihanna released 8 albums in 11 years between 2005-2011 and many more singles than Michael did.

    So, IMO he’s still the greatest based on the fact that musical tastes changed so much between the late 70s to early 2000s and he was still able to make huge hits.

    I don’t know enough about madonnas discography to compare, but I know she released more than Michael did.

    • Chileplease (the first and only bih) February 22, 2017

      *6 years, not 11

    • Meme February 22, 2017

      There is no denying that MJ is the greatest. That’s not what this post is about. The fact remains that Rihanna has beat out his record. This isn’t a debate on whose greater than who. And your logic is baseless because I can think of 100 artist who have more albums and singles than Rihanna is still don’t have ANY #1 records. Haters love to use the excuse that Rihanna releases a lot of music that’s why she has a lot
      of #1 singles. If that was the case then all these flops would have to do is release a lot of albums then they would have a lot of hit singles like Rihanna? Right.

      • RihNaj February 22, 2017

        Yasssss reeeeead them!! Ppl need to just congratulate and move on ffs…The queen reign won’t let up and y’all shall deal!! ?

      • Chileplease (the first and only bih) February 22, 2017

        It’s not “hating”. I’m saying if you want to compare, compare two people who have released the same amount of music in the same amount of years. It’s like comparing someone who released one album and 3 singles in 10 years with someone who released 6 albums and 10 singles in the same amount of time. Of course the person who released more will have a greater chance at having more number ones. I love Rihanna, but I’m not gonna compare her to michaels record when he released a lot less music than she did.

  3. Adele4Life February 22, 2017

    Rihanna & Adele are the Queens of music.
    They run this s*** and aint nuthin haters can do about it.

  4. Meme February 22, 2017

    That’s my girl (4th harmony voice). No but for real though…it’s easy to brush this woman’s accomplishments under the mat because she makes it look so damn easy but we really need to start giving her her respect in the industry. Her name stays up there with the legends.

  5. Carl February 22, 2017

    So proud of her #thatrihannareign?❤

  6. Jeans February 22, 2017

    This is crazy! 30 Top 10s. She can drop the mic wherever she is!

  7. B_Roni February 22, 2017

    I wish she release a video

  8. Tori February 22, 2017

    Congratulations. The music industry is definitely a joke. Any inspiring singers or musician, you can accomplish ANYTHING with out real effort or stride. 2017: Donald Trump is president and Rihanna beats MJ Records thank to streaming. Every month it’s some new b*******, I can’t wait for March.

    • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

      Actually the song isn’t even doing that well on the streaming front plus it has no video and no promo! Just congratulate and move on

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        It isn´t thanks to streaming??? It sure isn´t thanks to real sales when the bish has not touched the top10 of itunes with this song at any point, and Anti´s “staying power” on Billboard 200 a year later sure isn´t thanks to sales when it has literally sold less copies every single week than many other albums throughout the entire year that have been cosntantly under hers on that chart… but magically Anti is still somwhere there. Why is she there for then?

    • Caribbean native February 22, 2017

      the real kiii is that this is tanking in the streaming area…..spotify is not supporting it….its gaining on airplay and pure sales…..yall try to downplay every accomplishment

    • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

      No discounts no promo no video and top 10!! Slay !

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        Rihanna knows damn well what a discount is just as much or more than any other artist. Ask Rated R in its first week and still nobody caring. Congrats to her but her fans need to stop living in the illusion that this singles success so typical when it comes to Rihanna (only thing worth the mention in her case) is only taken seriously by them. Where the talent at? The monumental real sales? I still have never seen neither of those things.

    • Swit Katz February 22, 2017

      It’s quite sad i just can’t wait for her to finally decline and leave the music scene. She’s a f****** cancer.

      • Caribbean native February 22, 2017

        seethe h**!

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        Swit I don´t think the end of her singles chart success is that far away. Just like Katy Perry´s case. Once you are over 30… in fact streaming has already kind of saved them a little bit. Knowing they have no plan B due to their lack of real album power or talent… I don´t think it is that far away.

      • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

        Love on the Brain > Gagas discography

        Get over it hun your seething up and down this post

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        In what pucking world? LOL And… did Rihanna songwrite it or something to begin with? Rihanna only sings, she should be excellent at that at least, just like all of my faves are 🙂

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        This is what a bad bish that doesn´t write her songs sounds like 🙂

  9. JoJ February 22, 2017

    Im both happy and sad, happy the song doing well, sad that shes paying it total dust, no promo, no video. Its like she has already mentally shelved the anti era. But congrats.

  10. Shakira Stan February 22, 2017

    Give us a video queen, I wanna see the ants seethe when this goes 1

    gratz.

  13. RihNaj February 22, 2017

    This song has been my fav since the album dropped. It sure #1 worthy, I just hope she release a video for it boost its sales and streams, I can see it being blasting to #1 spot ??

  14. d February 22, 2017

    This is a huge accomplishment! as a woman of color she has accomplished something that is beyond amazing! i really don’t understand that hate for her. regardless of if she has released 30 albums in 8 years or streaming accounts for 100% of her music accomplishments, the fact remains she is in demand.the fact remains she makes music that people clearly listen to and she is clearly on her way of being in the record books and being a legend. i think we don’t really appreciate accomplishments by her bc she has done so much and moves at this rapid pace but she has done more in the past 10 years than most do in an entire career. she might go down as one of the most important artists ever when all is said and done.

    • Swit Katz February 22, 2017

      She’s trash thank God no one but her fans care for this b****.

      • d February 22, 2017

        thats fine if u think she’s trash. I’m not a huge fan but i can appreciate accomplishments and appreciate her doing her job well and loving it. i don’t know who u r a fan of but i don’t think they have accomplished what she has

      • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

  25. Wayment February 22, 2017

    What I love about her is that she allows her music to speak for itself

  26. JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

    Streaming queen!!!!!! Congrats.
    Where the real sales at thou? 🙂

    • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

      Don’t be shady this song is slaying on radio with no radio deals and has no video and a performance almost a year ago!! It’s not even doing that great on streaming and it’s nearly platinum in pure sales! No discounts unlike Gaga 60 cents

    • IStan4Rihanna. February 22, 2017

      Are you trying to be a dumbass on purpose or are you just naturally thick?

      .

      You do know that sales are DEAD right – down 60% from last year whilst streaming is the NUMBER ONE music consumption format in the world hence why its included on every international chart.

      .

      Only 3 songs sold 100K+ this past week in digital sales. Most songs are selling below 75K now. SALES ARE DYING and they wont be growing anytime soon.

      .

      Even katy perry and all have had massive first week sales declines… everyone has but they’re all slaying streaming. Get with 2017 and move on!

    • Molly #HeGivesItToMe #Everyday February 22, 2017

      Worry about million reasons dropping out of top 10 after one week. Rihanna slaying your fav without a superbowl performance.

    • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

      Blah blah blah never staying on TOPIC. No wonder you all get so mad when it comes to someone telling a truth. Gaga is not the topic and she isn´t among my very favorites. But now that you mention it Joanne, an album with a REAL change of genre and direction and no hit singles to support and make peopel listen to it, is on course to sell as much as Anti with all this “singles success”. let taht sink in before making a joke of themselves. I even congratulated Rihanna, didn´t I? 🙂

      • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

        A Grammy is a Grammy ! 70 percent of artists can’t even get nominated!

      • King B February 22, 2017

        You yourself are being delusional. What change of genre? She’s simply riding the ballad trend set by Adele, nothing’s extraordinary. I can’t believe you just said that. If Lemonade creativity can’t impressed you (you said it on prev post), then why Joanne can. It’s harder to make an album movie that’s cohesive (and with songs of multiples genres)

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        King B
        Hey hey hey relax!!!! lol Ballad? In Joanne? No, that´s not the change she has done. The album is not about ballads. Maybe you have not listened to it and are taking Million Reasons as the entire album? She has really changed direction, in many fronts. I mean it is obvious and it is the reason why some peopel left her behind this era supposedly to begin with. Don´t tell me now that she hasn´t made a change please! About Lemonade: I have never said it is not cohesive, you must be mistaking me for someone else. Last week I remember saying Beyonce doesn´t have to be the best just cause some of her fans say so and that there are many many many otehr talents out there, and especially in the past (I say that cause some of her fans talking about about “OF all tome” last week). Beyonce´s last 3 albums are her best musically, no doubt. I don´t remember saying I´m IMPRESSED with Joanne´s CREATIVITY either. Look, Gaga is one of the biggest talents in mainstream now, and I´m more into her than into Beyonce, same way you are the opposite. But I have never said Gaga is the best and that´s it or things like that. Nor I have denied truths about her like sales declines or whatever. I repeat, I´m not a delusional stan. That´s the difference. It´s funny that this post is not about Lady Gaga anyway, she really did soemthing right this era against all odds when people have to constantly mention her to reply to me (as if she were my biggest music “idol” to bein with).

  27. iSpeakTruthNoFallacy February 22, 2017

    Yasssss Rih! That murtherf*cking reign. Who needs Grammys when you’re already in the history books. Such so can’t be said for other acts out here on the verge on nervous breakdowns. The Guinness Book of World records are going to have a lot of Caribbean punnanny up in it this year.

    • IStan4Rihanna. February 22, 2017

      If this heffa would just release a DAMN music video… It would easily be her 15th #1 as many chart experts have said. She’s so f***king frustrating. UGH.

      .

      Anyway, who else but the Queen. None of these girls are doing it. Can u imagine… the FLOP album accumulating 3 top tens/4 top tens from the era as a whole. 2M+ album equivalents moved in the US and 3.3M WW. Amazing. 😉

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        He probably means one that can be taken seriously 🙂

    • King B February 22, 2017

      Still mad about the Grammys? Sounds like you really wants ur fav to have one.

      • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

        Our fave has 8 dear

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        He probably means one that can be taken seriously.

  28. IStan4Rihanna. February 22, 2017

    No promotion.

    .

    No live performance since August.

    .

    No music video.

    .

    Yet this “heffa” is still scoring top tens from a 52+ week old album.

    .

    Its a fact: ANTI is the biggest female era of 2016 with success coming into 2017 and ANTI is still perched in the top 20.
    .
    30 top tens and top ten hit every year for the past 13 years!

    .

    I love my ICONIC fave so much!

    • BEY>RIH February 22, 2017

      How Sway?? When 25 and Lemonade are wayyy ahead of it in sales??

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        Oh yes I forgot about the monumental “25”. Like I said, delusions… 🙂

      • Danja February 22, 2017

        25 is ahead of everybody in sales but that album wasn’t released in 2016 – it was released in 2015 and outsold ur faves album 7x over. Stop putting them in the same bracket. Of all the albums released in 2016, ANTI was the only one to find success in both album sales/streaming and singles sales/streaming. Your girl flopped with every single and sales in general are so low that Lemonade has yet to outsell 4. Rihanna has more album certifications WW also. ANTI has moved 2.1M album equivalents in the usa whoch is the same as lemonade… lemonade is only 400K or so ahead of it. Im not even a rihanna stan but this s*** is obvious. Shes still achieving top tens a year later.

    • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

      I´m sorry but it isn´t 2016 biggest female era when you have Beyonce with an album that sold like 3 times more and was actually taken seriously at the grammys. I´m not a Beyonce fan but I just cannot at delusions from stans. The singles charts success has to come accompanied by equally impressive album power. Has never been Rihanna case, and it is teh reason why nobody takes her seriously exceot for her stan base.

      • IStan4Rihanna. February 22, 2017

        Who are you?

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        A person that leaves comments in this blog just like you (only that a little bit more realistic 🙂 ). Hope this answers your question.

      • Danja February 22, 2017

        You continie to seethe through every rihanna post. Why is your white spanish ass here anyway… f*** off and go and do something

      • King B February 22, 2017

        It’s one of the biggest era but definitely not the biggest. Congratulations to her for breaking records and she’s a force when it comes to Hot 100. She has the most top 10, most number ones, most streams, most Vevo views, most singles sold, airplay, just any records related to SINGLES. But it is just strange that her album never sold more than 3 Mil copies. For example, GGGB couldn’t outsell Teenage Dream and The Fame, all of these are their biggest era. She also never had 200 M tours or top Forbes like those artists as well as JB, Adele, Taylor. This is just weird. Marian was once the Hot 100 Force, but she has no problem selling albums.

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        Every Rihanna post? I hadn´t clicked on one about her in months. Stop teh delusions and accept reality. I know you all hurt a lot when someone unbiased tells a truth. It´s not that serious. Rihanna is a streaminga dn singles queen, isn´t that what you guys love? I don´t get why so mad then 🙂

      • IStan4Rihanna. February 22, 2017

        @KING B.

        .

        GGGB has far outsold Teenage Dream. GGGB is at 9.1M units WW whereas teenage is at 6.8M units. Furthermore, LOUD has sold the same amount as teenage dream. Also, LOUD and TALK THAT TALK are the two top selling albums by a Black artist this decade – male or female followed by Beyonce and 4 and then lemonade and ANTI.

        .

        I get what you’re saying but stop.

      • IStan4Rihanna. February 22, 2017

        Also, The Fame has outsold every Beyonce album WW also so whats your point? Anyway… im tired of thw constant convos about bey vs rih. They both excel in areas that the other doesnt but they’re still two dominant forces in music and two of the top biggest this decade.

      • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

        Most of those artists you just mentioned have to how many shows to get that 200 gross though? Be logical Rihanna’s tour stats are quite alright along with her 8 Grammies !!

    • King B February 22, 2017

      No. I’m comparing US sales since she had 14 number ones and 30 top tens in US. All three of them had a re-release with multiple hits. TD and TFM was released in weaker market. GGGB charted for 99 weeks, compare to TD and TF 200+ and 170+ weeks respectively. Both Gaga and Katy had 200M tours and top Forbes before.

      • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

        How many shows did Gaga and Katy have to do though to get that gross ? Lol a read dear! Katy did like 200 shows her gross should have been way more! Rihanna has never even done a tour with over 100 shows GTFOH here with that bs

    • King B February 22, 2017

      I DID NOT MENTION BEY. And thanks for bringing up Beyoncé. Beyoncé is R&B artist who makes R&B, urban musics, the fact that she sold as much as the pop artist shows her star power. Bey is all about catalogue sales. Remember when 4 opened with 310k? It sold nearly 1.6 Mil now. Just 900k away from BTW. Imagine those 400k of BTW wasn’t included, lol just 500k away.

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        King B
        Beyonce has been doing really well on sales these last few years as I have been saying for a long time. During the 00s, she wasn´t one of the very top sellers. However, now that sales are so poor in general, she made the change she needed to make, and is now one of the top sellers. I have always recognized that since that started to happen. I have no problem telling truths even if I´m not into her (Rihanna fans now calling that clinging to Beyonce lol).

  29. Beyoncé Jackson February 22, 2017

    I may question her talent, but her hot 100 power cannot be denied. Congrats to her.

  30. JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

    My favorite song they made for Rihanna is probably Diamonds.

    • Beyoncé Jackson February 22, 2017

      Shade ?

    • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

      “I’m bluffin with my muffin ” Amazing lyrics by your fave that she wrote ! Lol GAGs music doesn’t come close to Queen Rihanna’s!

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        Datredd Your arguments are so 4-year-old-like that I don´t really know how to reply to you. You can find those type of lyrics in any of these girls catalogues. But yes, with the difference Gaga actually songwrites them, and of course with the difference Gaga is able to songwrite many other type of songs. I mean, at this point, trying to deny Lady Gaga´s talent, just makes you look a damn basic fool.

    • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

      Gaga just doesn’t do it for me hun? I don’t like her tone or voice or lyrics she’s not that great stop putting her on this mighty pedestal! The other girls have surpassed her a long time ago

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        Why should I care if you´re not into Gaga???? LOL Don´t mention her in this unrelated post and everything will be fine! lol Hilarious. Such childish arguments. You live through this stan wars so much that you cannot take a simple truth stated in a post. It not taht ahrd to accept.

  31. King B February 22, 2017

    Congratulations and Happy (Belated?) Birthday! ??

  32. Sippingmytea February 22, 2017

    okay like is this really something. Billboard. Come on. ! (NO SHADE) HAPPY BUT THAT’S MICHAEL POP KING JACKSON

  33. Mark111 /.\ February 22, 2017

    Stans of the old are (how do y’all say it?) PRESSEDDD. lol New age, out with the old, in with Rihanna.

  34. Blackkupid February 22, 2017

    I see Johnvidal is busy pissing all over himself and atill clinging to Beyoncé for some credibility. Girl hang it up already all these talent yapping you are doing like some used up tapon is dated and redundant.
    Instead of worrying about Rih, ur focus should be on Gaga who is currently tn need of ur support. Rih has proven time and time again that she deserves every accolade that co, es her way by being consistent, hard working and remaining the hit machine she is designed to be. If it’s so easy, ur fave wouldn’t be struggling even with a superbowl, mega album release promo, discounting of both albums and singles. And being almost everywhere. even with ANTI being a change in direction and showing a lot of artistic growth, you and ur band of haters are still convulsing with hatred. Rih is here to slay. Get over it sis.

    • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

      She is soooooooo pressed over Rihanna

      Clocked Mr.man

    • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

      LOL oh yes I´m so pressed over Rihanna that I hadn´t visited a post about her (I actually clicked cause Michael Jackson´s name was also involved) in months 🙂 🙂 🙂
      Truth of the matter is that none of your points are valid and that 3 or 4 STANS thumbing up the comments they like won´t change the truths people know about Rihanna. Nobody talked about Gaga. But you insist (funny that nobody mentions my lifetime faves LOL) and I´ll give you this: Joanne, a difficult album to sell, is on course to sell as many REAL copies as Anti, without hits and all. What does that make Anti????? 🙂 Your own reasonings invalidate your “arguments”. It wa sa nice attempt at trolling though.

      • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

        John had a major discount though sweetie and Anti is over 3.5 million equivalent albums sales worldwide. Where is Joanne? Her album is available on all steaming platforms aswell but will not see nearly those numbers ! Even after Anti had 1.4 million free copies given away!! All that promotion GAGs did ?! White privileged and all and she still can’t sell more then Anti or have a hit single ! I mean is been a year later and Rih just got another top 10!

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        Only truth of the matter is that Joanne is on course to sell as much as Anti in the USA despite not having the biggest promo of all: A hit single. I don´t understand why you are mad at that. I certainly am not.Nobody, absoliutely nobody, and certainly not me, has said Gaga is having tremendous success sales wise lately. However, you and a few delusional stans are making it seem like those sales (or similar) from Rihanna are a big success of an era. Be more realistic and unbiased. Just that.

  35. THE REAL February 22, 2017

    I’ve always REALLY liked Rihanna. I don’t play into stan wars at all so I can appreciate everybody for their uniqueness.

    CONGRATS Rihanna!

    *Aside* Riri is the only black female artist to hit No.1 in the last 8 years? I did not know that. ??

  36. Kimbella February 22, 2017

    Katy and Rihanna tagging teaming Flopga on the hot 100 right now. That’s the real reason johnvidal is mad

    • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

      This Rihanna song is at #23 on itunes today and Million Reasons is still at #7, but whatever makes you happe. I personally don´t feel better or worse over these nowadays useless chart positions. Talent makes me happy and enjoy life though.

      • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

        With all versions it’s around 12 combined on iTunes sweetie! Lol you don’t even know what your talking about half the time but think your opinion and interests are better then everyone else’s! Is Gags still selling Million Flops for 60 cents?

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        I don´t know how much Million Reasons costs since I don´t follow her every move and I don´t buy digital cheap singles 🙂 Million Reasons is still higher than that anyway and Love on the Brain is not top10 anyway then. You just keep proving my point. Rihanna is always higher than she should thanks to streaming and other things 🙂
        The point of teh post is Rihanna breaking a Michael Jackson singles record, which is as luaghable as when Katy perry did it. Nobody takes is seriously since everybody knows each of thsoe artists real success. Your obsession with Gaga is real, and like I said, it´s funny you don´t come for my favorite artists ever. Only Gaga when nobody mentioned her.

      • Blackkupid February 23, 2017

        Well if yoi don’t know how much she is selling, perhaps u should shut ur mouth and not brag with a chat position of an over discounted product in comparison to a full priced single that has zero push or promo but manages to be thriving based on QUALITY.

    Billboard Hot 100: #4(new) Chained to the Rhythm, @katyperry Feat. @SkipMarley. *top debut*

    Welp Gaga dropped 14 spots within a week wheres the longevity sis?

    • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

      Longetivity career wise? LOL Stans already tried to destroy Gaga´s career but it didn´t happen cause her talent is giving her longevity on all fronts where it matters most (which is credibility and recognition) and will give her that in the future. However, singles won´t give you longetivity once they are over. I still don´t understand how this was about Gaga but anyway.

      • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

        GAGs better get some of that money she paid to the NFL for bookin that halftime gig Million reasons is already flopping John Wayne flopped Perfect illusion flopped all of Artpop flopped you have the nerve to come for EMPRESS RIH! The delusion

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        Blah blah blah never on topic. It´s incredible how a little truth inserted in the buble a few stans leave in can make so much harm 🙂 The point of this article is: Rihanna is a streaming and singles queen. I only said that, which is true, why so mad? Nobody is denying truths about other artists.

    • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

      Yep! And did anybody said Gaga was slaying sales wise or something? The post is about Rihanna supposedly breaking singles records by Micahel Jackson (which nobody takes seriously). What are Rihanna´s Anti real sales after a year anyway? Not much bigger than that I believe. Could you do us a favor and post them here? 🙂 That would be more on topic 🙂 🙂 🙂

      • Mark111 February 22, 2017

        1.5M WW. Something Gags will never see.

      • .:: Centurion ::. February 22, 2017

        SCREAMINGGGGG!!!!
        ______________
        What exactly is not on topic? YOU brought up SALES. You stay bringing up sales of other artists, but when your Gaga’s sales are post up, your response is “blah blah blah” and some amusing ludicrous explanation.
        ______________
        Go buy or stream Joanne. ?

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        The point is that this is a post about RIHANNA LOL And also that nobody has said at any point Gaga is doing amazing in sales. Again????? Why don´t you post Adele´s real sales or something? I don´t know, if you won´t to NOT stay on topic… or maybe some of my lifetime faves like Whitney Houston real sales and overall REAL success and recognition? Mariah´s? 🙂

      • .:: Centurion ::. February 22, 2017

        The SELF-DRAG. Gaga can’t even touch those artists in sales. SCREAMING @ you bring up artists when your fav can’t even compare. And why bring up Whitney? Bringing up the dead to prove your nonsensical point, have you no shame? ?
        __________
        Gaga peaked with her debut album. Most artists grow, but she came onto the scene just be slowly declining with each album.
        ________
        If I had to compare Lady Gaga to something, I’d compare her to a fart. Gaga was like a fart; she caused a big commotion only to disappear moments later. ?

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        I´m starting to pity you. Can´t you really understand a damn thing???? Of course she can´t touch those people´s sales???? LMAO Who said otherwise? A mess. Those are my faves. But you only focus on gaga when nobody mentioned her. Why is that? 🙂 🙂 🙂

    • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

      Love your avi with two amazing singers btw.

      • .:: Centurion ::. February 22, 2017

        I know. Thank you. Gaga will never reach their peak btw. Not in sales, records, impact, artistry, *Shirley Caesar voice* YOU NAME IT!!!!
        _______
        Humble yourself baby. ?

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        LOL Of course she won´t. Your point? Rihanna definitely is not going to either when her own peak was smaller than Gaga´s peak to begin with LMAO Seriosuly, stop it. Change the topic or something.

      • .:: Centurion ::. February 22, 2017

        “Rihanna definitely is not going to either when her own peak was smaller than Gaga´s peak to begin”

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        You´re talikng about peaks. Lady gaga´s was bigger than any Rihanan era. That´s all. I don´t know why you cannot focus. Also, STOP your delusion then if you want to call me out (still don´t know why) cause you´re trying to make it seem like Rihanna is really on Whitney Houston type of legend status with that statement of yours:) 🙂 🙂

  39. Mark111 February 22, 2017

    The Gag is up, streaming and discounted singles helped Gaga last week and like every gimmick, it doesn’t last long and she’s falling right back off the charts. Must sting to see Rihanna the only current artist killing these 80s stars… Again.

    • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

      And again, the post is not about Lady Gaga. And again, Joanne´s sales are not far from Anti´s 🙂

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        The post is not about that. It is about Rihanna´s singles success. Which has never came accompained by equally big sales. Just that. You keep proving my point by trying to make Gaga´s sales look poor when they are so similar to Rihanna´s lately 🙂 #Stopit

      • .:: Centurion ::. February 22, 2017

        White gays… :/
        _________
        So what you’re saying is you can bring up sales of other artists, talk shît or whatever, and I can’t talk about your fav… because it’s not a Gaga post? :/

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        Already explained like 10 times in this post. Do you have trouble understanding? It is about Rihanna. I didn´t trash her. Only congratulated her on her streaming success, and said a truth that she is bigger in singles than in real sales. That´s all. You didn´t have to bring up anyone else, no. And once again, nobody told you I only have one fave or that my very fave is Lady Gaga. She simply is not to begin with. I am very sensitive towards people that have problems of any type, so I´m sorry for not detecting at first that you have comprehension problems. I´ll try to avoid your replies in the future so that you don´t feel forced to make a second or third reply to my reply. Ok? Cheers!

  40. JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

    Talking about unrelated things, look at how great and natural Celine Dion looks at 50:

    • Datredd23 February 22, 2017

      Celine sure looked good praising Rih and singing Work on like 3 television shows this year 😉

      • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

        Yes she praises everybody. She doesn´t care 🙂 The way she so easily imitated Rihanna´s basic Work was kind of shade though LOL

  41. ? February 22, 2017

    Not @johnvidal posting Celine Dion videos trying to deflect from the fact that his ass got gathered. The struggle ??????????????????????????????????????

    • JOHNVIDAL February 22, 2017

      Hmm another slow one? If you read all the commentys you´ll see that not a single argument of mine was invalidated by any delusion from stans, and that I invalidated of of theirs. The Celine videos were shade at the fact they cannot stay on topic (you would have understood if you could read). Although now that you mention it Celine is a perfect example of what an artist that doesn´t songwrite or dance should do: SANG!

      • ? February 22, 2017

        YOU GOT DRAGGED!

      • JOHNVIDAL February 23, 2017

        How? LOL None of my arguments were made invalid not even despite many different peopel trying. Rihanna fans delusions are not reality and that won´t change outside of their buble. Learn to read, their arguments were clearly invalidated by me 🙂

  42. kiki February 22, 2017

    I knew JohnVidal, an obsessed Rihanna hater would be here. Always saying the same b*******. Rihanna is ahead of Mariah and Whitney in tour gross and singles sales, she has way more #1 hits worldwide, earns more money. Outside of their albums sales (thanks to the peak of albums sales, their sales are horrible since 2000s sans The Emancipation of Mimi),their success is mediocre.
    Loud is the best selling album by a black artist this decade with Talk That Talk being the second one AND WE KNOW BLACK ARTISTS HAVE IT HARDER BECAUSE OF RACISM. Anti was among top 10 best selling albums worldwide/in the US last year, so was Work.
    No one cares about Celine, she has 0 impact/influence. Janet Jackson sold less records than her but destroys that karaoke, nasal singing h** with fake/calculated emoting on stage. Great proof that numbers mean nothing.

  43. Tikklzzz February 22, 2017

    lol like really? Are we mad that a black woman made history AGAIN? Congrats Rih!

  44. Samsung brought my albums February 22, 2017
