With a storied decade long career that boasts an impressive co-star tally featuring the likes of rockers Bono and Paul McCartney, it seems Grammy-winning pop diva Rihanna is no stranger to working with some of music’s biggest legends.
Arguably en route to such status herself, if recently surfaced reports are to believed, the Bajan beauty is ready to pencil another name in her growing list – Prince.
See how and why via the report below:
With a hurricane of hype and only promo pics to show for it, is Rihanna finally ready to hit the live circuit in support of her new music?
It seems so.
Having only given one performance of current single ‘FourFiveSeconds’ at this month’s Grammys, it appears Rih is gearing up to take to the stage at the UK industry’s most prestigious night – the BRIT Awards 2015.
Details below…
At the rate Rihanna, Kanye, and Paul McCartney are moving, it looks more like they’re ‘FourFiveSeconds’ to hitting #1 on the Hot 100 with their modern day pop-folk single. Giving McCartney his first top 5 on the chart in 31 years, the song is slowly, but surely creeping to the top spot.
But, as the week has evidenced, such creep will be no easy feat.
As the tally’s refreshing shows, ‘Locked Out of Heaven’ hitmaker Bruno Mars appears to be locked in the #1 spot and has clocked yet another week on the chart’s perch with ‘Uptown Funk.’ In fact, reigning in lucky week number 7, the run gives him his longest reign at the top – besting his former longest reign ‘Heaven’ by 1 week.
Elsewhere, on album charts, it comes as no surprise that Drake‘s surprise album ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’ is #1 with over 535,000 united moved its inaugural week (495,000 of those are pure album sales). To put this into context, Beyonce’s self-titled surprise moved 617,000 units in a little over 3 days, but could at least later boast physical copy sales in its tally.
Drake’s sales are expected to be relatively sustained over the next week but, unlike Bey, will not have any physical retailer as its considered a “mixtape.” Furthermore, Drizzy’s reign atop the Billboard 200 enters him in history books as only the second hip hop act to see his first 4 albums debut at #1 (DMX is the first).
Enough chatter, tuck in below to see this week’s refreshed Hot 100 and Billboard 200 lists below:
After impressing music lovers at this year’s Grammy awards ceremony, ‘No Love Allowed’ singer Rihanna has reportedly signed on to perform at this year’s Brit Awards.

While Sam seethes, it becomes evident yet again that the Rihanna reign simply will not let up.
For, after the Bajan beauty delivered a critically acclaimed vocal showing of her Paul McCartney & Kanye West-assisted hit ‘FourFiveSeconds’ at the 2015 Grammy Awards, she joined Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith as having the week’s top sales gains as a result of the showing.
Blasting right into the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 not even a month after the tune’s release, Ri’s latest traipse into the chart’s upper rankings not only sees her threaten another slew of legendary Hot 100 stats, but also sees her three steps away from adding her name to history books for another singles’ accomplishment.
