The rate Rihanna has set and/or broken Hot 100 records in her short, yet accomplished career is literally astounding.
Just three months after we reported the ‘We Found Love‘ singer found her name beside pop icons Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson for number of top 10 hits amassed over their respective careers, it appears now, thanks to her new single ‘This Is What You Came For’ with Calvin Harris, Ri leaves them both in the rearview.
Details below:

The chart above was published the week ‘Work,’ the official lead single from her 8th album ‘Anti,’ reached its first rung on the top 10 ladder. It later went on to an impressive 9 week run at #1, giving the songstress her 14th chart-topper.
Now, just three months later, Billboard reports:
[With ‘This Is What You Came For’] Rihanna scores her 28th Hot 100 top 10, tying Stevie Wonder for the fourth-most all-time. Madonna leads with 38, followed by the Beatles (34) and Michael Jackson (29). Rihanna breaks out of a tie with Mariah Carey, Elton John and Janet Jackson, each with 27.
With this, in addition to being the only woman of color to have a #1 single this decade, Rihanna now holds the record for most top 10 singles for any woman of color. Congrats!

It’s ok, she will never be Mariah or Janet!
They’ve had more influence in pop culture than she will ever have.
She doesn’t want to, she’s Rihanna and we’re perfectly fine with that?
Let them know King Mark
Thank chu!!!!??
That’s right.we are perfectly fine by that! You girl
Must have felt good to write that! Furthermore she still holds the record! For being her! Not Mariah or Whitney! More influence! Like how she influenced yonce! ki!
“My greatest Idol is Beyonce”
-Rihanna
And la Reid said that Beyoncé stood beside him and claimed Rihanna was a beast over Tierra Marie. Stan girl!
@rihboy
If that’s the case, then Rhianna should be sending Bey a thank you basket right now.
“I knew she was a super star. We wouldn’t let her leave to room until we had a deal.” -Jay Z
Tyra: what was it like meeting Beyonce ?
Rihanna: I could not speak. That’s suppose that I looked up to for a long time.
*someone*
It’s OK? lol, you sound PRESSED like church clothes! EVERYBODY KNOWS this is IMPRESSIVE! Rihanna followed the rules and adapted to new rules…and she’s STILL young and relevant…I LOVE MADONNA’S MUSIC, but she better watch her EDGES! Cause Rih Rih is COMING TO SCALP! lol
The drugs will DESTROY her. She can’t sing or dance and her looks and ugly tatts are making her less marketable. SHE WILL NEVER BE A MARIAH OR JANET. Ever
Shut yo dumb ass up, dumb b****** these days…
I Stan for Janet period! That’s my fave my Queen!
But baybay! Comments like “she will never be Janet”‘ or whatever I don’t find them necessary.. Because Rihanna is busy being Rihanna.. Trust me she has a different unique model to this business and she has a distinct sound and she stays in her lane.
She is not the one that is always researching ideas from others and trying to make them hers.. She doesn’t have to and we all know that. So let Rihanna be Rihanna just like Whitney, Janet, Mariah etc had to be themselves and oh btw go listen/ stream/ but or watch #DammnBaby by Queen Janet. xoxo
?
Yes!!!!!!!!!!! My Caribbean queen did it again!!!!! “Needed Me” is steadily increasing on the Hot 100 chart and I honestly see it overthrowing “Panda”. Slay a ton, beautiful Barbadian black queen! ??????????

This is the season for our black women to win in all aspects of the entertainment industry (music, film, fashion, etc.) and I claim it right now in Jesus’ precious name!
Congrats!!

#femalepitbull
Puppy Dog broke these records too? ?
Wow. I mean that’s an incredible achievement. I am a her fan of rih and she truly is incredibly gifted and talented. What’s she’s done in 11 years I don’t think we’ve seen since the Beatles. I wonder at the end of her career where she will stand. She must go down as a legend even if she doesn’t release another song. The stats speak for themselves
Just breaking these legends records left and right. ?
Rihanna is gonna be like jody watly, Paul and Abdul Google them they ran the 80’s and was over by the 90’s
But she’s going on year 12 and about to past to the 3rd decade, so how? No need to look them up, I already ruined your lil fun.
Tell em boy bye, not with those shaky low album sales…I guarantee ‘work’ will be the ONLY #1 she she’s this ERA and her last for quite sometime stick a fork in that coconut she’s done #LEMONADE
You sound mad. Where’s the #1 hit from Kool-Aid?
Hold tight, ladies and gentleman! #15 and #16 (where you’ll find at the 9th and 13th positions on the Hot 100 chart) are coming. Mark my words!! This will be the era in which she gets the most #1 hits of her career.
______________________________
Hint: She had three Hot 100 #1 smash hits during her legendary “????” era. ????
????
Next week, she will have three songs in the “Top 10” – I am literally astounded by that.
.
Furthermore, have you seen the humongous gains that “Needed Me” is receiving on ‘SPOTIFY’ and “This Is What You Came For” on ‘Radio’?
.
#ICON.
Yes, sis! I’m so proud of how well the singles have been received already. Well, they are Rihanna songs, so we should know that they’d do good and to not doubt her power and reign. I’m telling you, hun! #15 and #16 are ready to show out!
Wth who said she never be Janet? This girl doesn’t want to be anyone but her. That’s what I love about her. People try to tear her down and she doesn’t let it get to her. She was truly built for this. No psychotic breakdowns or nothing. But she about to beat Stevie wonder if needed me rises to the top 10. It is currently #13 on the hot 100. My two favorite black women on top. Bey and Rih.
Congrats to Rhianna with those McSingles…
With those mcrecords and mccoins!
I’m laughing because she is hot 100 queen with assisted tracks not just individual like all the legends on the list .. Congrats team assist
Some assisted boo! Doesn’t matter lol most of those assistants didn’t have a number 1 until they featured. Stay in your seat!
One sweet day? Say say say (Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney) ebony and ivory (Stevie wonder and Paul mccartney) assisted number ones thanks
Album sales > Singles sales. BB 200 > BB 100
Nothing against her but her name sounds so out place in the list, all those people have impacted music in a way that Rihanna and any other artist of her time can only dream of, at the end of the day, all those records means nothing, what is important is your impact and influence and legacy, and Rihanna has a long way to catch those people in that department (if she ever does), that’s the real challenge for an artist of this generation to achieve.
I’m confused, didn’t you once state that Rihanna was the biggest black international star? … now her name seems out of place on the list? I need you to have more consistency! Don’t use Rihanna when it’s convenient to shade other artists and then flip things around when you see her making gains that can one day have her best your fav!
Lol I’m not surprised. S****** Blonde is a bandwagoner. He’s also a white supremacist. So it all makes sense seeing as how Rhianna is BLACK….
I thought Beyoncé was gonna be in the top 10 this week but Fomation already rolling down the charts…. Hopefully Serena can give Sorry some much needed life
Work #6
TIWYCF #9
Needed Me #13
Slay bish slay
Don’t worry about Bey! She’s just earned herself a historical #1 album with ‘Lemonade’! You know what chart she slays, so don’t insist that Bey jump through hoops to do s*** that doesn’t affect her one way or the other. The Hot 100 doesn’t make or break B!
OK rih!I see you black Queen!!
You are literally breaking records after records in 2016. My worrrrd! There is no slowing you down, is there?? And you are not even 30 as yet!!!
How much has ANTi-sales sold?
399k lmaooo finally cracking 400k???
Although 80% of them are already forgotten, the fact that she managed to amass all of those top 10’s and #1’s in that short period of time of her career is mindblowing.
Those radio deals are paying off hunty.. Congratz ?
You say that as if Most music this decade isn’t “forgotten.” If the song comes on the radio or in the club PEOPLE REMEMBER! Stay mad.
But dahhhhhhling, how many of her top tens did she write or have production credits on?
But dahling how many of Mariah’s hits were nothing more than well-executed karaoke covers?
Only one of my number one hits is a cover dahhling: Try again dahhhhling
She owns the masters to all of them so…
Yesssssss… you betta tell them lamb.
#ANOTHA-ONE This girl has her music as the soundtrack to a generation, and there is NO end in sight. What’s your fave up to? #NotShiit
Formation is crumbling off the charts harder than than Yonce’s baby bump…”sorrryyy, I ain’t sorry”
Screams@ all the singles free falling
I’m sorry, but how much has Anti sold in pure sales !?
You’re cocky for no f****** reason
Yooo Tyler is that the only thing you have to say nowadays? It’s becoming just as tired as Beyonce’s hairstyle. Rihanna gave out ONE MILLION albums away and has still appeared on top of the BB 200 twice. Not to mention breaking legends’ records…Meanwhile, the only thing Yonce is breaking is her marriage.
I didn’t ask you about Beyonce’s marriage or hairstyle. I asked you about cAnti.
Now, if you subtract those streams and SAMSUNG how much has it sold in PURE SALES?
Well, she is this generation’s “Hot 100 Queen” so I am not surprised.
.
Congratulations, Queen. 😉
Congratulations Rihanna!
????????
What a crying shame and sad state for the music industry that a foreign, cvnt, w**** of babylon like her is allowed to reach such feats. You used to need talent for such things but now…her accomplisment doesnt mean much because aside from beyonce, who is her competition?
Rihanna’s clearly in her lane when it comes to the Hot 100! Janet and Mariah both had a very strong presence on that chart and topping them is quite a big accomplishment. I don’t like for my favs to be surpassed in anything, but one things for sure, they’ll make you sweat trying to make it happen! Congrats to Rihanna!
She ran back to the same ole bubble gum pop formula.
Y’all wanna jump bad with Beyonce but what happened to all of that “timeless” music that Rhianna was supposed to make? This is a f****** joke lol. The music Industry has gone down hill.
The timeless music is on ANTI, her album (Love On the Brain, Higher, Consideration, Close To You, Kiss It Better, and Yeah I Said It)…Don’t hate because Rih has that golden voice that just makes non-stop hits.
So in other words, she sold out for sales. Because none of that s*** is timeless.
Thriller is timeless, Purple Rain is timeless, Rhythm Nation is timeless. A song like “Work” doesn’t fall into that category. It’s redundant, generic, and stupid. With no underlying message or meaning at all what so ever.
I repeat! What happened to all of that “timeless” music that she had up her sleeve ?
Please name some timeless music from Beyoncé ??
Beyonce wasn’t the one who was going around calling her music timeless, Rhianna was.
Please name some of those timeless songs .
Let me just say the following……
CONGRATULATIONS to Rihanna!
This is a great feat. No need to talk down in spite to praise your fave. Beyonce & Rihanna are two different artists with different creative and outstanding approaches in music. No need for the hate of these TWO black womens.
HASHTAG: #WomensEmpowerment 😉
Where is beynonsense on any list?
Congrats. I didn’t know MJ had 29 top 10 hits. Slay.
I think MJ scored another top 10 recently with the Justin Timberlake duet ‘Love Never Felt so Good’.
OFF TOPIC: Did y’all see how that lil black girl from Disney channel dragged Azealia Banks on twitter!???
Her name is Skai Jackson. She had me rollin haha ???
Sam! You have to do a post on it ROTFL
She’s dragging Azealia Banks thru the grand canyon right now ! I am gasping for air lolol
YES! Azealia never thought she’d see the day someone would drag her across the entirety of the Great Wall of China.
Lol she is getting thoroughly dragged by miss Jackson! That little girl is not playing!
OMG GIRL No one cares about this walking airplane landing strip. Post about Azealia Banks getting dragged FOR FILTH by a 14 year old Disney princess on Twitter.
I died and reincarnated so many times!
*YAWNS* call me when RIHSCEDULED can sell 200k in a single day after making album avalible to the public free for 2 days prior. Rih cant even sell that in a week. Frih got outdone in less than FOUR DAYS. still stalled at 400k US & 900k ww after 3 1/2 MONTHS. rihs success this year is all SMOKE&MIRRORS. Funny rih wins in the cheapest of ways 0.99$ singles. I bet bey has more when u include DC it was bey that excelled in the hot 100 department b4 frih just taking leftover records. The FORMATION tour meanwhile is set to gross more than all rihs tourz combined. #STADIUMSTATUS
It must sucks knowing that all the hate you pest give this woman, she keep on winning. Y’all going to be on ya death beds when 1 remaining T cell left saying Rihanna is over.
Skai Jackson: “Go fix your tired edges and stop hiding behind those cheap weaves.”

Azealia Banks: “You’re an irrelevant Disney girl, flatty Patty!”

NOT flatty Patty!!!!!! OMG!!!!! Who comes for a fourteen year old girl, even though the drags are funny? ?????
“A meme with 2.3 million followers. My memes are more relevant than you. Now that’s sad ” – Skai Jackson
Skai told no lies ????
Lol Skai told her to take this “L” and keep on moving lol, I can not. I never knew Skai had this in her. Beautiful girl, and my nieces love her.
DIABETES UNBOTHERED is crying right now for im foreseeing 3 flop singles in a row for SUGAR WATER… Flopmation Sorry Hold Up all Flops. YET somehow im relieved the Koolaid out sold Anti in FOUR days. Lmao!
SELF TITLED sold 2 million more than ANTI CHRIST in the US & 3-4 million more worldwide. Self titled & lemonade Cost more and no #1 for either. With this many hits rih should push albums too… just saying.
Like I said before this song was going to do something on the charts which is fine. The song was very much just ok to me (my personal opinion). I was not too happy that she went back to the EDM thing but it worked she wanted another top 10 which could very much be a #1. All in all congrats RiRi!!! I will see you Friday. Please just don’t perform that song. This song could have been a top 10 with anyone because its just that generic. I like the music from Anti way better.
LEMONADE just passed the 1 mill mark US & 6 Inch coming for rihs NECK, Anti will be out the top 5 this week. Cant compete with Prince Bey & Drake for long #460 i mean #400k
#Pray4Canti
http://youtu.be/E3N1bytLop8
Anti is fine, certified double platinum.Sis all I’m waiting on is that 10 mill sold from the queen of music/album seller. Why are her visuals stalling?
Iconicanna back to doing what she does best!
Cool for Riri
LMAOOOO drag navy!! Not these pest acting like Rihanna used Samsung throughout her entire discovery.What about the 7 albums she sold fairly? F**k outta here with that bull.
A significant feat but her discography will never be better than Janet or Mariah’s. There’s no way you can speak in the same breath about “That’s the way love goes” and “Rude boy”. She’s the odd one out of that list of people. She contaminates the sequence seriously I mean Madonna, Janet, MJ, Mariah & made music when a song really had to be special in order to be a hit. “Vogue”, “Got till its gone”, will outlive time itself. There’s something that “Only girl in the world” doesn’t do that “Rythym nation” does.
Go on the streets and ask which one’s lyrics they knw…#timeschange
Lol lots of her hits are features.. Streaming has been her best friend..
She is the main artist on 23/28 of those songs though
Rihanna is impacting this generation…and she will be recognize as a Legend by the next generation ..same with be . Janet and Mariah were in the same situation at their time because people used to say Janet, Madonna and all those artist we respect today that they were talentless ask your parents about it
Rihanna is doing her thing same for Beyonce and they will be recognize as legend by our children .
Other Z list star like Ciara will be remembered as being famous in the 2000-2005 and be at every awards show and act like legend.
That´s not true at all. They were respected massively. not to mention their success was on real album sales front too. Mariah talentless??? Who thought that with those vocals in the early 90s for example? LMAO
I Love to see Black Women shining and i’m sure Janet & Mariah would love to see more black women flying the flag as it makes everything they have put into music worth while, it proves they kicked that door wide open and made it easier for more black women to shine and that is every artist dream! Well done Rihanna! x
Good for her.
I hate that people think stats and numbers make a great artists. When it’s all said and done we’re going to remember Janet’s dance routines, Mariah’s vocals and Riri’s club bangers. Ain’t nobody going to remember how many top 10 singles any of these artists had. It’s all just dumb competition that record labels have made up.
Nobody cares for a record when it was only achieved thanks to streaming rules, feauring in like 7 songs every year and when the supposed success doesn´t come accompanied by big album sales to make the it credible.
Total joke nobody takes seriously. Talent totally absent too 🙂
Although congrats is in order for Rihanna, fact remains that if streaming hadn’t exploded and Billboard hadn’t changed their chart rules to include credit for features, she wouldn’t have this record. If anything this achievement should come with an asterisk.
Wow. Not even a fan of hers but this quite an accomplishment! Ten more and she will have the most top 10 hits of any artist. Considering her string of hits it is certainly within the realm of possibility.
this w**** puts out trash and her music will NEVER top their classics
It’s cute. But let’s face it, breaking this records on the itunes era plus streaming is not that difficult. Most rihanna songs has featured artists. Her albums sales are so low i can’t even…
If she had achieved that back when people actually have to buy music based on her star power that would have been different. That’s all.
