The champ is here!
With her latest Nicki Minaj/M.I.A.-assisted single ‘Give Me All Your Luvin’ getting nothing but love from fans, music monarch Madonna continues her reign over contemporaries with reports that ‘Luvin’ has landed her a 38th top 10 single. The first single lifted from her 12th studio album “MDNA”, due March 26, only extended the singer’s etch in history books as original gain of the record came from 2008’s ‘4 Minutes To Save the World’ (her 37th top 10).
While Barbadian pop princess Rihanna bumped Madge from atop her other Billboard record (most top 10s in shortest time) by only 5 months, she does not stand as a present threat to dethrone the diva from this newly secured placement.
There are a few who still can, however. Find out who after the jump:
38 — Madonna
34 — the Beatles
28 — Michael Jackson
28 — Stevie Wonder
27 — Mariah Carey
27 — Janet Jackson
27 — Elton John
25 — Elvis Presley (whose career predates the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, inception)
23 — Whitney Houston
23 — the Rolling Stones
Given Rihanna’s age and unwillingness to relent with her incessant aural attacks, chances are the ‘We Found Love’ diva may find herself soon tying, if not breaking, Madge’s record. With Drake‘s ‘Take Care’ giving Riri her 21st top 10, only 17 placements stand in her way. Oh, the power of the fast food hit.
