DJ Y2K Malone™ Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 HistoRIH! Rihanna’s “S&M” rises 2-1 on the Billboard Hot 100 to be released tomorrow (Apr. 21) on Billboard.com, granting the singer her 10th No. 1 on the survey and ownership of a pair of historic chart records. Rihanna bests the five-year, four-month span between current Island Def Jam labelmate Mariah Carey‘s first (“Vision of Love,” Aug. 4, 1990) and 10th (“One Sweet Day,” Dec. 2, 1995) toppers to complete the quickest sprint to 10 Hot 100 No. 1s among solo artists. (Carey collected the first 15 of her 18 career No. 1s while signed to Columbia Records). Among all acts, Rihanna trails only the Beatles (one year, eight months and one week) and the Supremes (two years, eight months and three weeks) for the fastest accumulation of 10 Hot 100 No. 1s. Rihanna is additionally the youngest artist to notch 10 No. 1s in the Hot 100′s archives. At 23 years, two months and one week, Rihanna (born Feb. 20, 1988) eclipses the mark established by Carey, who was 25 years, eight months and one week old when she tallied her 10th Hot 100 leader. Having first reigned atop the Hot 100 the week of May 13, 2006, with “SOS,” Rihanna logs the shortest span between a solo artist’s first and 10th No. 1s in the chart’s 52-year history, a stretch of four years, 11 months and two weeks. (This week’s charts are dated Apr. 30, 2011). Rihanna is just the ninth artist to total at least 10 Hot 100 No. 1s and the fifth solo female, following Carey (18), Madonna (12), Whitney Houston (11) and Janet Jackson (10). (The Beatles lead all acts with 20 career No. 1s; Michael Jackson has the most (13) among solo males. In addition to the Supremes (12), Stevie Wonder (10) is the other act with at least 10 Hot 100 leaders). “S&M” ascends to the Hot 100′s summit fueled by the first full week of digital sales for the song’s “Rih-mix” featuring Britney Spears. All versions of the song, which claims the Hot 100′s Digital Gainer award and becomes Rihanna’s record-extending 10th No. 1 on Digital Songs, sold a combined 293,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan, a 108% increase over last week. The Spears-assisted version of the track accounted for 66% of the song’s overall weekly digital sum. “S&M” spends a third week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (124 million audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS). Now listed as featured artist on “S&M,” Spears earns her fifth Hot 100 No. 1 and second this year, following her own “Hold It Against Me” in January. She had previously reigned with her debut single “…Baby One More Time” in 1999 and returned to the summit with “Womanizer” (2008) and “3″ (2009). “S&M” displaces Katy Perry’s “E.T.,” featuring Kanye West (No. 2), after three weeks atop the Hot 100. Although the song’s airplay continues to build, as it spends a second week at No. 2 on Radio Songs (122 million in audience, up 13%), securing the Hot 100′s Airplay Gainer nod, its digital sales decline by 12% to 284,000. billboard got in yes i'm loving this it's been a great week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtraordinary Xternal Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 If its so easy why can't janet get a number 1 single on a chart that matters? Its actually not that easy to get a number 1 considering people can just get songs for free now and all of the competition out there. I won't downplay Rihanna success to make some insecure people feel better. She deserves this we should celebrate and be happy. I'm sure Janet doesn't really care she knows how the business is. Rihanna has constantly changed her style with each era and gives you something different that will remain timeless unlike beyonce who just rehashes single ladies & get me bodied to death.

Xtraordinary Xternal Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Well, how bout you don't shade Janet for once. How is that shading Janet? I feel like everyone should be judged under the same rules to be fair. I won't excuse certain things just because I like Janet. What if people were saying oh it was easy for Janet to get those number 1's at the time.... that wouldn't be fair. Janet worked hard to get her number ones... and so did Rihanna and to just dismiss her accomplishment as a fluke is just bull... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I have Facebook but I get on that for barely a minute each day Stop trying to be a nonconformist and get a Twitter. You're like one of those ppl who tries to be different, rather that it being natural. You're like the Gaga of the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
