Music lovers apparently have had Rihanna‘s latest release, ‘Love on the Brain,’ on their brains in a major way.

For, with little traditional promotional tied to the effort (the latest launched from her 2016 chart-topping album ‘Anti’), the scorching ballad has blasted to #20 on the wings of strong radio airplay and digital sales.

Extending her overall lead amongst her contemporary competitors, Brain’s boost gives the singer her 40th top 20 entry into the Billboard Hot 100 – a historic accomplishment only 5 other acts can boast.  Tuck in below to see the company Rih’s keeping on the legendary list and this week’s refreshed Hot 100:



Via Billboard:

Rihanna becomes just the sixth act to have made 40 visits to the Hot 100’s top 20, dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, inception. Here is an updated count, led by the King of Rock & Roll and the Queen of Pop:

Most Top 20 Hot 100 Hits
48, Elvis Presley
44, Madonna
42, Lil Wayne
42, The Beatles

    I’m shocked the song is blowing up! Rihanna can sell any genre of music. She doesn’t come off as a try hard either such an iconic queen.

  5. Jjfan1814 December 16, 2016

    Cause ‘Anti’ is a flop though right?

    Everybody will hate on the girl but can’t give props where props are due when it comes to her ear for music! Anti is a masterpiece for it to be a body of work, left field from her usual music and still have successful singles.

    • Swit Katz December 16, 2016

      Anti and rihanna are both overrated I just don’t get the fuss about this vile and selfish b****

    • Rima December 16, 2016

      Funny how all these new girls are out doing Beyonce.

      • Metzo December 16, 2016

        They sure aren’t outdoing her on album sales, tour gross or acclaim.
        So they can keep those 1$ singles ?.

        On a positive note, Congrats to Rihanna.

      • Danzou December 16, 2016

        @matzo but Adele is. So it’s Madonna. And Barbara Streisand. You tried it though.

      • Swit Katz December 16, 2016

        They’re outdoing beyonce how? bcoz no one is doing her tour numbers. Atleast bey doesn’t rely on SINGLES clearly the moment rihanna starts failing to chart on the hot 100 it’ll be over for her

      • LOL December 16, 2016

        LMAO THE BEDBUGS WILL KEEP CLINGING TO THAT RECYCLED DRAG SHOW WHILE RIHANNA AND ALL THE REST KEEP MAKING HISTORY MOVES ON THE CHARTS LMAO.

      • Danzou December 16, 2016

    • blue December 16, 2016

      unless you arent beyonce, getting songs to chart is easy. How many of those 70 actually reached top 20?

      • blue December 16, 2016

        are beyonce not arent beyonce

    • Danzou December 16, 2016

      I wasn’t talking about Beyonce who is successful with or without billboard.

  10. Rima December 16, 2016

    Best song on Canti

    • Swit Katz December 16, 2016

      Pure trash

  11. Hunny Hive December 16, 2016

    BUt cAnti is stalled at 590k….. #flop

    • LOL December 16, 2016

      LMAO BUT WHERE’S ALL NITE THO? LMAO

  12. Hunny Hive December 16, 2016

    Once again the Titanic and deluded Selena stan can’t keep Bey off their stinky tongues

  13. JOHNVIDAL December 16, 2016

    Call me when someone actually breaks or reaches a respectable and impressive real record. Last time I saw someone really doing that it was Adele with her last two albums. Everything else is smoke and mirrors all teh time. No true records which represent momumental success have happened in the last years, except Adele´s.

    • Danzou December 16, 2016

      Did you forget about views?

      • JOHNVIDAL December 17, 2016

        LOL what real record has Views broken? Streaming? LMAO Dead at all these people thinking Rihanna or Drake are having Michael Jackson´s type of monumental success.

  14. Shakira Stan December 16, 2016

    Another list Beyonce’s name stays missing… Now tell me why she is considered the greatest of her generation when her name stays missing on every list that matters .
    Enough of the tour, every artist over 35 sells tour tickets well because the generation that grew up listening to them are all grown and working
    ..tell me another place Beyonce is winning apart from her so called tour that has not even grossed nearly as Madonna u2 etc

    • Swit Katz December 16, 2016

      You’re too obsessed with beyonce you can’t even congratulate riri for her achievement lol

  15. Shakira Stan December 16, 2016

    And don’t even get me started on her bought Awards, Kanye clocked that mess long ago.

  16. Swit Katz December 16, 2016

    To all the idiots bringing up beyonce remember rihanna has more albums and releases dozens of single every era so it’s no surprise. Her team deserves props tho

    • LOL December 16, 2016

      LMAO NICE EXCUSE. THE BUG QUEEN IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE GREATEST YET RIHANNA HAS BEEN SLAYING HER ALL YEAR LMAO.

    • Caribbean native December 16, 2016

      But by the hive logic…doesnt that makes her saturated and therefore it supposed to ne harder for her to sell…but yet she still manages to go playinum with every release and habe mega singles on every album……..so……….whats good?….you tried it tho

      • Swit Katz December 16, 2016

        Streaming saved her this era and please never compare to hardworking and talented people to tramps like rihanna who are at the top not because of their talent and hardwork but simply because she slept her way to the top

    • Shakira Stan December 16, 2016

      Beyonce makes a zillion music videos still she can’t chat.

      • Swit Katz December 16, 2016

        She can’t chart but can sell out stadiums unlike your fave who’s in her prime. Bey is good honey.

  17. Swit Katz December 16, 2016

    Rihanna may break even a million records but her failure to prove herself as a credible artist is what will never make anyone take her seriously. she’s the only joke on that list

    • LOL December 16, 2016

      LMAO STILL MAD HUN? LMAO

    • IStan4Rihanna. December 16, 2016

      And yet her name is still there?

      .

      STAY MAD.

      .

      ???

      • Swit Katz December 16, 2016

        Her name is there but only you guys care. She has zero talent and doesn’t deserve all this. She’s busking in the glory of sia and her many writers and producers. Adele and Beyonce are the real deal. Beyonce may not be a writer but her work ethic and quality performances are enough to prove her talent. Rihanna only has 4 decent performance which are not even that great when compared to the greats

      • IStan4Rihanna. December 16, 2016

        Unfortunately for you, I, nor anybody else, could care how you feel.

        .

        The fact remains that her name is there and isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon. In just 12 years of her career, she continues to set and break records and that is just how life is.

        .

        If you have any other surmounting issue with this, well… therapy is your only option.

    • Caribbean native December 16, 2016

      Ur shook huh?

  18. Keri Qween December 16, 2016

    When will All Night or the fourfiveseconds lessor daddy lessons?

  19. Kimbella December 16, 2016

    Kudos Riri continue slaying the game.

  20. Joseline December 16, 2016

    Someone plz help me find all night on the charts!!!!

  21. mr.m December 16, 2016

    She is a truly successful artist. so versatile
    but iconic??? legendary??? ……. NO.
    I don’t see her as an inspiring artist
    she just releases a popcorn hit after a popcorn hit
    no identity no originality not even a true performer

    I respect her musical risks tho
    but all these arists nowadays are just EMPTY for me

    XTINA/JT/BRITNEY/BEYONCE are the last generation of true inspiring performers.

  22. Mark111 /.\ December 16, 2016

    Notice all the singles from Anti are not only hits, but urban to R&B songs as well? Anyway, the song is just great, this girl ‘s voice matches very genre. She make it look so easy, and every era, she’s just HER. No gimmicks, no PR BS, just a new hair do and outfit, but she’s still Rihanna.

  23. B_Roni December 16, 2016

    As a Rihanna fan I can honestly say she can sell any genre. She doesn’t try to do a lot of runs and be all R&B or too pop. She sticks with her signature sound and voice. She doesn’t give too much in her songs or too little. She stays in her comfort zone and I like that about her. I also like that she sings live. She doesn’t always sound the best but she sings live and she loves what she do. There is a song for every occasion as far as my life goes. Guess I’m just loving this ANTI album. My favorite next to Rated R.

  24. Danzou December 16, 2016

    Rated r and anti have been the eras that saw her start something new for herself. The rest of her albums were pop bangers. I’m eager to hear what’s next from her. I honestly thought anti was about to be a banger but in hindsight it’s good that she went against the grain.

  25. FASHION_ICON ~ Anti&Lemonade December 16, 2016

    Metallica said Rihanna is the next level…they are right

  26. Bryhmin December 17, 2016

    Rihanna is so fresh. I just love her unique voice!

  27. Jordan December 17, 2016

    But non of the songs are classic or legendary like Madonna or Elvis! Forgettable generic trash!!

  28. kai2dasuan December 22, 2016

    Can we sit back and look how Rihanna has 57 hot 100 songs 14 went to number 1 and she has has 40 top 20 hits. Rihanna is slaying and more ways then we can think of
