As fans of Ciara continue to rejoice in the praise awarded to her self titled new album, and Beyonce supporters revelling in the glory of the ‘Mrs.Carter Show‘, Rihanna‘s join both fan bases in celebrating positive news today.

For, in what can only drum up fresh excitement for her forthcoming studio album, Rihanna has broken a new Billboard chart record this week!

What that record is?

Good news below!

Billboard explains:

“Rihanna rewrites the record for the most No. 1s on Billboard’s Nielsen BDS-based Pop Songs radio airplay chart, as Eminem’s “The Monster,” on which she’s featured, jumps 4-1. The song is Rihanna’s 11th No. 1, pushing her past Katy Perry (10) for the most leaders in the chart’s 21-year history.”

Achieved as the cut dominates the Rap Airplay tally, ‘Monster‘s brand new Billboard record comes after it was certified Silver in the UK for sales of 200,000 units and 2x Platinum in Australia for 140,000 units shifted since impacting the market!

  5. Lily Gaga December 10, 2013

    Where is her ASCAP awards?

  6. Overdose December 10, 2013

    Why is Ciara and Beyonce in the picture?

  7. Slayty Perry (Who You Love) December 10, 2013

    I’d like to point out that Rihanna snatched Katy’s record. Katy, who has released 1/4 as many singles as Rihanna. I’ll let everyone else do the math 😉 Congrats to both

  8. Unconditionally December 10, 2013

    Katy Perry does it on her own. Rihanna needs to hop on all the rappers tracks.

  9. Leon in SA December 10, 2013

    Riri !!!
    can we call her queen of POP as she leads the chart.

  10. Leon in SA December 10, 2013

  11. Leon in SA December 10, 2013

    can we call her the queen of POP as she leads the chart?

  12. Unconditionally December 10, 2013

    No^

  13. u kno dat shade?!?! December 10, 2013

    congratz to EMINEM. he’s now POP. 😀

  14. BEYHIVE_MINAJ December 10, 2013

    It’s still eminem’s song at the end of the day

  15. BEYHIVE_MINAJ December 10, 2013

    @u kno that shade
    Um,excuse me,but if you look at eminem’s entire discography, 20% of it is pop. He’s only a bit mainstream these days because this is 2013. Times have changed. Underground isn’t as big as it is. Mainstream appeals to all audiences,and it’s radio friendly. But if you listen to the entire MMLP2 cd,it sounds like MMLP1,just a more mature sound.

  16. BEYHIVE_MINAJ December 10, 2013

    *underground isn’t as big as it used to be

  17. COCKINESS December 10, 2013

    why hell would you even put ciara in that picture like if she was in contention or is a power player in music. she has no records to her name

  18. Carameboi December 10, 2013

    Congratz to this slutty bully w****,katy be like oh hell no b**** I’m about to release 2 new singles at the same damn time. Lol

  19. COCKINESS December 10, 2013

    and by the way the people who are saying that she needs features to accomplish this feet need to remember rihanna does not just do pop like katy and gaga, she is the most diverse artist of our time. she dominants not only on pop but also on R&b and urban charts. it is easier if you are a pop singer to have records on the pop charts but if you are a diverse artist like rihanna, the fact that you can dominant pop, r&B and urban charts set her apart from the rest

  20. BREAKING NEWS December 10, 2013

    Lady Gaga confirms 3rd single from ARTPOP- Jewels N’ Drugs …

    🙁

  21. u kno dat shade?!?! December 10, 2013

    @BEYHIVE_MINAJ sorry i ninjaed you on “eminem’s song”. and i know he’s gotta do it all. but him being measured in pop is kinda… 😆

  22. BEYHIVE_MINAJ December 10, 2013

    @u kno dat shade
    Yea,I know most of his stans aren’t down with him doing pop. But it’s what sells these days

  23. senshi_nynavy December 10, 2013

    Yes @cockiness clock them riri is the most emotive of her generation she can cover any genre and jump on anyones track and still slay

  24. iconic cici December 10, 2013

    Who cares

  25. Go Away Monsters December 10, 2013

    Gaga’s new hip hop single Jewels N’ Drugs will FLOP y’all !!!!

    🙁

  26. BEYHIVE_MINAJ December 10, 2013

    @Iconic Cici
    Obviously you do,since you clicked on the post

  27. Amanda Bynes December 10, 2013

    Oh please, she’s only a featured artist on it. Her fans needs to stop claiming like she own that song.

  28. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 10, 2013

    Oh wow, Rihanna’s so diverse for a black artist to cross over to the urban charts….that’s never been done before *rolls eyes* Regardless of your actual genre, if your a black artist doing pop music you unfortunately still get considered R&B and urban by a lot of the industry.. Call me when Rihanna does a country or rock record, then we can talk diverse…

  29. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 10, 2013

    And don’t try it with Rockstar 101 lol

  30. lala December 10, 2013

    Ya’ll mad that everyone wants to work with rihanna? She’s not calling them they’re calling her to get a hit record.

  31. just me December 10, 2013

    I can see all the jealousy going on.
    I understand she is slayanna so keep it up

  32. AINTREADY December 10, 2013

    TAMAR COMING FOR THAT ASS BOO #STAYPRESSED. #

  33. C squad above you all December 10, 2013

    Rihanna nothing more then a features artist w****

  34. just me December 10, 2013

    Rihanna is very diverse and you know it. Reggae, dancehall, hip hop, r and b, soul, pop, ballads, yes i said it even rock and others so be quiet.
    It is only one feature she had to break her own record and two for her billboard 100 record.
    Y’all hating on rih like there is no tomorow. But you wont keep her from slaying.

  35. senshi_nynavy December 10, 2013

    But @enough_onika you have admitted one song in general, she crosses multiple genres including country (CKB ex.)

  36. Molly December 10, 2013

    Rihanna does have rock inspired songs like the last song, and firebomb also California king bed is a country song. @Flopnika

  37. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 10, 2013

    @Molly LOL girl stop, pop and POP. Neither would chart on the rock or country charts, ever. Having a rock “influence” is different than being an actual rock track..

  38. stop December 10, 2013

    Stop putting Ciara name in the same Post with them. She is no where near what the other two have achieved. It’s an insult. lmao

  39. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 10, 2013

    Reggae, dancehall, hip hop, r and b, soul, pop….what URBAN act hasn’t done a dancehall, hip hop or reggae inspired track. Ya’ll act like that’s SO innovative. Urban acts always venture into other URBAN genres. I’m talking about REALLY cross over like MILEY can with doing r&B/Hip Hop, country AND pop, and ALL chart on different billboard charts, NOT just the hot 100, pop or R&B..

  40. MC!!!!! December 10, 2013

    what does beyonce and ciara have to do with the monster its not their song!! where’s eminem to be honest?!

  41. MC!!!!! December 10, 2013

    *puts navy hat on* she did rock records California king bed Russian roulette fire bomb fool in love what now question existing shut up and drive if I never see your face again(which got a Grammy nom) and don’t for she sung California king bed with Jennifer nettles at the cma awards!! rihannas diverse as hell get over it! she pretty much do anything

  42. LALA December 10, 2013

    Everybody is calling QUEEN RIHANNA to get a hit record. She slays your fave, now deal b******!

  43. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 10, 2013

    @MC All POP records with “rock” or maybe “country” (ya’ll REALLY reaching far with that one) influence to it. That is NOT the same as a legit rock or country record. All POP has an influence of whatever is TRENDING in music, that’s what POP is. Would you see California King Bed top the Billboard Country charts or even be recognized by the CMA association? Call Miley to get a clear understanding of diverse lol. #iDontStanForMiley #StatingFacts

  44. *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* December 10, 2013

    B**** Is The F*****’ Queen, Queen of Pop, Queen of R&B and Queen of dance Songs.

    Year of The ICON. RIHANNA.

    I can’t be more Proud Of her. 😀

  45. Molly December 10, 2013

    ewww enough onika not you giving Miley more credit then Rihanna, lets see Miley do a song like man down then get back at us.

  46. *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* December 10, 2013

    @Enough Onika :

    you’re a Miley Cyrus Stan now ? you stan for the “I want it to feel Black” ?

    The one who made a fool of herself Just to be noticed?

    WOW.

    can’t Wait for her to get Rid of this “Urban”/Rihanna-wanna-be act When she’s Bored with herself,probably after 15 minutes, to see how you all gonna react, because we all know how easy for her to ditch everything.

  47. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 10, 2013

    @Molly I have to give a clear example which Miley is. She still a dirty lab rat but she DID truly crossover to other genres and not just have an “influence” in her song(s). Rihanna isn’t doing anything that innovative like people make her out to seem. Rated R will forever be her MOST innovative album with bringing dubstep (still urban hough) to mainstream.

  48. d December 10, 2013

    ummm didnt she perform at the country music awards?!? oh and didnt she perform with bon jovi?!?!… and thats your cue to have SEVERAL seats

  49. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 10, 2013

    @PopRoyalty you can’t read very well can you? Using someone as an example to give a precise description of what they mean doesn’t mean you stan for them..INFLUENCE is not the same as a legit genre specific track

  50. d December 10, 2013

    @enough onika …that comment was for u

  51. *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* December 10, 2013

    b****** are Trying to use Every Excuse in the book to knock her RECORD down.

    Keep Tryin’. 😆

  52. Rihboy December 10, 2013

    The Rihaffect..got girls falsifying receipts. Got h*** in straight denial..over defeat. Deal 101.

  53. kkkkkkkk December 10, 2013

    F*** you EnoughFlopnika you ugly worthless piece of trash! Go die trash! FireBomb is a rock song and California King Bad is country, you can stay pressed. You are the one who likes Bow Down yet you have nerve to come for someone’s taste in music. Shut up you repulsive w**** ass b****!!!!!

  54. d December 10, 2013

    at the END of the day…your hate for her really only increases interest in her.if you just didnt comment then less and less people would care and you would win.but CLEARLY the haters arent smart enough for that…ie ciara n beyonce fans…stupid ppl have stupid fans

  55. Molly December 10, 2013

    Im not the biggest Rihanna supporter and i like EnoughOnika but there is no way in hell Miley is more diverse musically then Rihanna, Rihanna has done EDM,R&b, hip hop, Reggae, & Country Miley simply added hip hop in her discography just like GaGa and Katy did with their new albums.

  56. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 10, 2013

    Pause: to irrelevant trolls trying to @ me won’t get a response from me..

    *continues discussion*

  57. d December 10, 2013

    hey hey hey now @KKKKKKK the NAVY doesn drop to the level of these delinquents… we are smarter and more pwoerful than that.let their ignorance shine and we continue to let our results speak for themselves…

  58. mya December 10, 2013

    Crazy, Rihanna has like what 40 singles with 11 No.1s and Katy has like what 13 singles with 10 No.1s.

  59. Molly December 10, 2013

    You guys dont have to degrade enough onika for his opinion tho.

  60. *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* December 10, 2013

    @Enough Onika:

    Exuse Me, But you won’t Come for my Reading Skills lol, You were trying to say Miley is Diverse but rihanna isn’t ?

    Bye, just Bye.
    Rihanna is undoubtedly The most diverse Female artist Out there at the moment, Tell Me who can Do “princess of china”,”California King bed”,”Only Girl” then switch it up and do “pour it up”,”loveeeeeee Song” Now And succeed in All ? Who Beside her? WHO ?
    Stop Playing. 😉

    And “California King Bed” Is considered Rock. You can Google it baby if you are Unsure. 😀

  61. d December 10, 2013

    LMAOO yes for the pause @onika enough!! i live for the pause. and being that we r both posting on a blog that will mean nothing two days from now, i assume that makes us both irrelevant right?!?

    OR am i just irrelevant because your at a loss of something factual and smart to say?!?! … PLEASE dont think to hard about that one

  62. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 10, 2013

    But MY argument @Molly is that trailer park Miley ACTUALLY charted on the country, pop, and hip hop charts while Rihanna dominates pop and R&B charts, regardless of her “influenced” pop tracks. My views on being a successful “diverse” artist is clearly different as I think your single should chart on a legit genre chart other than pop and R&B…

  63. kkkkkkkk December 10, 2013

    @MYA

    All of Rihanna albums are certified, can’t say the same about katy Hudson. That flop has yet to crack 2xtiolet paper sttaus, not to mention that Trust in me and Search in me are 2xwood. Katy had to completely change her genre to become relevant and she only sticks to generic, childish pop, radio-friendly hits.

  64. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 10, 2013

    @PopRoyalty most diverse “black” female artist yes, I’ll give you that. Female artist period, no…

  65. Teacher December 10, 2013

    Congrats Rih! And F*** Katy Perry! B****!

  66. *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* December 10, 2013

    Guys Be Civilized, The Thing about The navy is, unlike other Known fanbase Who shall be unnamed 😉 , we Don’t attack people who have Different opinions Than Us, we just let Them See It as we See it and THEN let them Decide.

    I simply Think Rihanna Is The most diverse Artist out There, Because She Did Songs In Different genres and they were all received so amazingly and Even went to #1, she is diverse that artists from Different genres ask her to be on Their albums” Eminem, coldplay, maroon 5,Kanye west, jay z and many More”, I’m sorry But Miley is not like her when it comes to that, Just cuz she made couple of “Will made it” tracks When t’s Hot for a minute won’t make her urban or Diverse, at least not as Rihanna’s Diversity, also that is me not getting too deep into it, lol. 😀

  67. *ℙᏫℙ ℝᏫᎩAℒᎿᎩ* December 10, 2013

    s/he But it as “black” and chose Miley Instead, Ok I get it Girl.

  68. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 10, 2013

    @Molly thanks hun but I expect the less than educated ones on TGJ to resort to insults instead of having an intellectual discussion like I can you and a few others on here. I already addressed the lessors and my stance with them..

  69. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 10, 2013

    @PopRoyalty I respect that you can have a civilized conversation and be cordial as well, TGJ actually feels like a real music blog today lol. But a question about your statement:

    “Because She Did Songs In Different genres and they were all received so amazingly and Even went to #1, she is diverse that artists from Different genres ask her to be on Their albums” Eminem, coldplay, maroon 5,Kanye west, jay z and many More”

    What “charts” did all these songs chart on though? And a lot of these artist feature Rihanna on their POP records. Maroon 5 song was clearly pop. yes they’re a pop/rock group but that was not a rock track. Same with Coldplay, that was a VERY pop Coldyplay track.

  70. Molly December 10, 2013

    @EnoughOnika guess were gonna have to agree to disagree, glad we can both admit Miley is trash!

  71. The Reign December 10, 2013

    Listen to the girls cry and seethe at Queen Rih as she slays. Word is that “the monster” will be #1 this week and then what will you do? Lol keep in mind if there was no Rih Miley would have had no one to jock so that “diversity” you’re ranting about is still influenced by Rihanna. #thatreign loll

    Xoxo.

  72. Molly December 10, 2013

    @EnoughOnika No problem sis, i know your not comin from a bad place just simply speaking your opinion which i love you’ve actually have come to become one of my favorite people on this site. xo

  73. ENOUGH ONIKA (NEW & IMPROVED) December 10, 2013

    @Molly Agreed. Thanks hun and you too! I’m glad I have you and a few others on here to actually DISCUSS music and different opinions from time to time. xox

  74. ratedx(love is beautiful) December 10, 2013

    can you get any gayer? rolls eyes…

    congrats to rihanna and eminem…I don’t know why people are still acting shocked when ever rihanna gets a number 1 hit, or her singles sells alot…

    and eminem has been mainstream for years, if you listen to his older songs, and watch his older music videos, you would see what I mean..he’s not considered to be the “king of rap” for nothing

    he didn’t get pop or mainstream because he worked with rihanna

    he has worked with Dido, and other pop stars in the past

  75. ratedx(love is beautiful) December 10, 2013

    rated r didn’t turn rihanna into the versatile chick that she is…good girl gone bad reloaded did..or mainstream.

    miley is not the first and last chick who has gone urban in their music, madonna, britney,all have gone urban with at least one album or couple of songs…

    as a black person, if miley wants to be urban, who gives a s***?
    and as for she’s trying to be like rihanna..umm people forget rihanna became mainstream when she started to dress, and look like another female artist..

    if you going to bash somebody for something your fav has done in the past, at least keep it 100

    it makes you look like a f****** hypocrite

  76. Bey Fan December 10, 2013

    I thought Mariah had 18 #1’s …. am I wrong?

    Anyway, congrats to Rihanna.

  77. Perry Power December 10, 2013

    Lol Katy was tied with Rihanna even though she’s released a quarter as many singles? That’s embarrassing. The fact that Katy Hudson, an album that wasn’t even released outside California, is the only shade people have against Katy further proves that she dominates your fav. Katy will retain this record by the end of this era. Unlike Rihanna, she’s good for than the first two singles.

  78. HOTSTUFF December 10, 2013

    @Beyfan

    it’s the pop song chart not the Hot 100

  79. HOTSTUFF December 10, 2013

    This year has been too much for me to handle, Liked her since Pon De replay, Been a fan @ Good Girl Gone Bad and staning @ Rated R …. what i’ve been saying for years on Blogs as turned into FACTS…i’ve always said that she’s a versatile unique singer…and that it will take her to the top and beyond, haters will have to deal, i’ve always said even before the award, that she’s an icon of this generation….. I know for a fact i’m not delusional and she’s an incredible pop star…. can’t say the same about some fan bases *cough Z cough Squad cough *

  80. ShitGotReal December 10, 2013

    LOL @ people sayin that Miley is more versatile than Queen Rih. The delusion on this site.
    Keep pressed while the queen continues to reign

  81. HOTSTUFF December 10, 2013

    @ PERRY POWER

    LOL H** i won’t debate with you cause i like Katy… But don’t be bitter and jealous, as for today Rihicon Broke the record and u will have to DEAL.

  82. JOHNVIDAL December 10, 2013

    So now standards are at such a low level that people really think Rihanna or Katy or Milye or whatever are diverse??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? LOL I´m going to die one of these days!!!
    Not that it is too important since all these girls lack in every possible way, but I agree with the few ones saying Rihanna has not that big percentage of #1 hits. She has been releasing tons of singles every year since 2005 non stop, including lots of features. She gets a #1 every 5 or 6 singles.

  83. Yup! December 10, 2013

    Rihanna is artist with the most #1s on Radio Songs chart of all time!
    Artists with the most #1s on radio:
    12; Rihanna
    11; Mariah Carey
    7; Usher
    5; Kanye West, Bleach, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry. Rihanna scored 3 #1s in one year on Radio Songs chart: “Diamonds”, “Stay” and “The Monster”

  84. Yup! December 10, 2013

    #TheMonster: Pop no.1, Rhythmic Songs no.1, Rap Airplay no.1, Adult Pop no.37 (debut), Latin Pop no.30 (debut), Latin Airplay no.36 (debut).

  85. Navy Nick December 10, 2013

    BUBBLE GUM MUSIC RULING THE WORLD! sad days of music (I LOVE RIHANNA) but to breaking records with unoriginality, is quite sad)……

  86. JER December 10, 2013

    Not when it wold take an act of God to get your fave anywhere but the opening act on her own farewell tour BYEEEEEE!

  87. NAVY COMMANDER December 10, 2013

    The hater may try to downplay, by saying features and blah blah. But this is a monumental accomplishment by not only a pop artist, but a black pop artist.

  88. Nicky22 December 10, 2013

    When will Slayty Perry headline a stadium?
    Rihanna’s 15 dates out grosses Katy’s entire 120 date tour. She’s pathetic

  89. MuiMui December 10, 2013

    Rihanna isn’t the only artist who is featured on
    songs with other musicians. Many of you will find something to say no matter what she does. She is
    breaking records and making history,and you will deal.
    Call her music generic all you want because with her
    Unique Island accent, shes the talk of the music world, and
    while shes not a belter she don’t have to be.
    And when you speak of her music being generic,then half of all the music that is out there can be generic it just depends on who is doing the talking. I dare anybodsy with a working brain to say that shes not singing her song “Diamonds” and one will be hard pressed to find a song that can top that song, and music video,even from the Legends. And who give a hoot
    about hoiw many albums she has dropped, ni one can ever say shes lazy. People are worried about her doing Features because they know good and well that Eminem is the biggest Selling Rapper, and his biggest single
    is with her as a feature. and you do not get that many Platinum and that many Youtube views as that song has gotten.
    If its not broken then why fix it, if he can make a song that break records and chart well then why not.

  90. MuiMui December 10, 2013

    Many years from now when many of you are old and grey,you will still be down playing her talent.
    The reason you down play her and try to pit her against all the musician is because shes different,
    and come from another land.Its okay for the other musicians but a black artist who is popular and is loved around the world cramps many of your style.But shes hear for a reason , and she isn’t going any place.Why should she go any place when she is having the time of her life, keeping you stressed and pressed to high heavens, Lol.

  91. NAVY COMMANDER December 10, 2013

    HOW CAN YOU COME FOR RIHANNA HAVING MAJORITY FEATURED #1 HITS WHEN YOURE FAVE COULDNT EVEN DO HALF WITH FEATURES ONLY HUSH

    Haters been talking smack for how many years now. Still
    she took that no talent and her non performing Diamonds tour around the world ,and was able to cross the 100 Million mark.That in itself is enough to shut the naysaysers down, but that isn’t even good enough ,they still have to try and justify why she is making music history, because they do not believe fat meat is greasy,but oh it is, very much greasy, hide and watch what this new year is going to bring for your viewing pleasure. And just think if she wasn’t doing something then we would not be discussion her in the first place,now would we.
