Russian Roulette sold another 105,000 copies last week, coming in at #25. The song is less than 56,000 copies away from surpassing the 3 million digital sales mark.
Hard is #38 this week with another 66,000 copies surpassing the 1.3 million mark worldwide.
Rated R zips from #17 to #11 (almost top ten) this week with 59,000 copies sold worldwide. The album is projected to enter the top ten in the UK making it her 3rd consecutive top ten album, also setting the album up to re-enter the top 10 on the World Chart.

Comment by maison martin margiela — March 6, 2010 @ 6:57 am
I really hope Def Jam releases both Photographs and Rockstar 101 for the summer!!! It would be a huge disappointment if they don’t release both of them!!! People that like slower songs and the BEP sound can relate to Photographs. Rockstar 101 is the MONSTER up-tempo club banger single from Rated R!!! The video has to be EPIC too!!! Def Jam, don’t mess up with our Rihanna!!!
Comment by Nenns — March 6, 2010 @ 7:59 am
I think Def Jam needs to be careful with the next single choices since rude boy is a happy fun song she needs to release a song that slowly goes from happy to dark
so for example
rudeboy (fun), photographs(mix), firebomb(dark/not so dark), rockstar 101 (dark/fun) then a new album next year
do you get what i mean? She cant just go from a fun song to dark straight away
Comment by GFath — March 6, 2010 @ 8:32 am
Rude Boy needs to get to number 1, Rude Boy is worth much better than 3! And yes, Rude Boy is number 1 on itunes here in Australia! So glad, hopefully it get 1 on ARIA Charts in Australia. Go Ri!
Comment by DOS — March 6, 2010 @ 12:54 pm
@jeremy….rihanna is number2 on us itunes,its just that they dont show the song when you open that top tens itunes page…thatx a lot to the us fans she is doing great there aswell….lets continue requesting and buying
Comment by redemption song — March 6, 2010 @ 1:22 pm
Next single should be Firebomb, released worldwide, that’s another hit. After Firebomb, she should release Photographs, and I can be 99% sure that it will be #1. And after that, she should close with The Last Song.
And I think Rockstar 101 should be released in the US, cuz I don’t know how US will react on Firebomb.
Comment by HumanitySector — March 6, 2010 @ 4:08 pm
RUDE BOY, #2 ON ITUNES. GO RI RI.
Comment by nadri — March 6, 2010 @ 4:59 pm
@neddir, TelePHONEY just like Video Disaster were contrived efforts on the other sides part to surpass break the #1′s tie with Rihanna. Because God is not fond of ugly, Rihanna was the one to break the Top 10 hits tie, and she just might break the #1 singles tie all by her lonesome. She what happens when you are shallow and insecure? Nobody can’t say Rihanna doesn’t make GREAT music, because she is a woman with standards and strong sense of industry insight…My vote is for Rockstar…that joint rocks!!!
Comment by nomore — March 6, 2010 @ 5:03 pm
They don’t want to release Telephone because of Rude Boy

@jazmine/lilly Damn, you girls stole my thunder.I
pointed that out to RD 6am this morning.Riri, Diddy
Jimmy Iovine and others were flying back to LA.
Rude Boy is adding in world domination and we got
to keep requesting and buying, no let up!!!!!
Funny story, I woke up late last nite and went to a
certain website.In it were folks arguing about how
Rude Boy was becoming a phenomena and how
mad they were.I’ve lurked here before and knew
these are known haters.They were so angry and it
gave me insight into how mad haters are at the
succes of the song already.Let keep them mad. LOL

Comment by Die Hard Rihanna Fan — March 6, 2010 @ 7:25 pm
Yes Buy buy buy and request
rude boy came in at number 16 on vh1 top 20 video countdown vote and also vote on 106 & park. I wish TRL was still around I miss that show so badly and rihanna’s videos always do well on that countdown and it bostes the sales of the music and albums that show was great promo! why did they take it away they should have taken 106 instead.
Comment by lilly — March 6, 2010 @ 7:27 pm
Ok enough of da sensitive stuff back to work. Buy request buy request.
@ mmm. That’s what we Rihanna fans do we keep da haters employed. Dam I luv it.
Comment by Die Hard Rihanna Fan — March 6, 2010 @ 7:29 pm
so I guess rihanna left moscow russia and is on a plane with gaga, diddy and jimmy iovine, to LA for the oscars weekend.
Comment by lilly — March 6, 2010 @ 7:30 pm
@ lilly I got u but I will much prefer 2 buy and request so that she gets another no# 1 to her name. That will give her a new record. Most female no# 1s.
Comment by Die Hard Rihanna Fan — March 6, 2010 @ 7:34 pm
@ die hard rihanna fan yea I feel you we got to make rihanna history so we have to buy and request! so she could get that 6 number 1 single on the billboard hot 100. it’s possible she could be number 1 next week because she is the only one thats leading on itunes that is in the top 10 on billboard hot 100 because taio cruz is not in the billboard hot 100 top 10 and lady antebellum is number 3 and rihanna is number 2 on itunes and the BEP are sliding so they won’t be number 1 next week on the billboard hot 100 and if they are billboard is making a big mistake so still buy and request so we could get rih rih number 1.
