Rihanna earns her 12th career top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart released today, as “Russian Roulette” rockets 75-9, triggered by first-week download sales of 132,000, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

“Russian Roulette” also opens at No. 9 on Digital Songs and edges 36-35 on Radio Songs/Hot 100 Airplay with 29.4 million audience impressions. The song’s digital release coincided with the singer’s first public comments since being assaulted by then-boyfriend Chris Brown in February. Rihanna participated in a three-part interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC’s “20/20″ and “Good Morning America” Nov. 5 and 6.

Rihanna’s 12 Hot 100 top 10s place her second among female acts this decade, trailing only Beyoncé’s 13 top 10s since 2000. “Russian Roulette” previews Rihanna’s new album, “Rated R,” due Nov. 23.

    22. She will lead after the release of her other songs such as Hard which is already a hit in my head. Go Riri. Wow such a young lady and she has already accomplished so much….
