Rihanna’s latest single “Rude Boy” proved once again that she is a hitmaking artist. The song is already #1 in USA and it’s taking over most of the international charts! She is now the 1st female artist to have six number 1 songs since 2000. And she’s doing quite well in the long run as well! Comparing to other female singers she’s now tying with Diana Ross and Paula Abdul who have also reached Billboard’s top position six times.
The record belongs to Mariah Carey, who has 18 singles that made to the top of Hot 100 list. Next is Madonna (12), Whitney Houston (11) and Janet Jackson (10).
Ironically, a spotlight on the most frequent female visitors to the Hot 100′s top spot leads to a look at all the boys who’ve reached No. 1. More specifically, songs featuring “boy” in their titles.
“Rude Boy” is the 11th such song to top the Hot 100, at least one of which has led the chart in each decade since its 1958 inception. Rihanna’s gender, however, maintains a comfortable lead in No. 1 representation. 21 songs sporting “girl” in their titles have led the Hot 100.
Other songs featuring “Boys”:
Title, Artist, Year
“Lonely Boy,” Paul Anka, 1959
“Soldier Boy,” the Shirelles, 1962
“My Boyfriend’s Back,” the Angels, 1963
“Thank God I’m a Country Boy,” John Denver, 1975
“Rhinestone Cowboy,” Glen Campbell, 1975
“Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” Deniece Williams, 1984
“Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix),” Los Del Rio, 1996
“The Boy Is Mine,” Brandy & Monica, 1998
“Baby Boy,” Beyonce featuring Sean Paul, 2003
“Crank That (Soulja Boy),” Soulja Boy Tell’em, 2007
“Rude Boy,” Rihanna, 2010
The Queen!

are you serious ????? he needs to stop talking about rihanna to get his carreer back , she’s happy and succesfull
Comment by leslie — March 19, 2010 @ 6:07 pm
@tboi No she did not say that on her cnn interview.In
fact she talked about how great her ablum is doing and
how happy she was with it.IDK about Teen Choice
awards. I think she may be nominated.
@leslie Fist is trying everything.He’s drowning and since
Riri won’t save him.Im glad people are seeing his true
nature.But she’s number 1, on her throne again, no
court jesters need apply.Plus Matt is *faints*dreamy

@leslie……are you fucking serious???? like what the fuck, that just pissed me off, and im not gonna left the fucking slide, im gonna fucking blow up his twitter, his fucking jealous ass, he fucked around with the wrong crew, and shit, matt is a real man, all his loser ass “boys” are lowlives, stupid, retarted people who need to get a career and do something with their lives…after Rih left, all he fucking does is sit his ass around, go on twitter for the whole fucking day, and talk mess, oh, and when i looked at his twitter, he be talking bout oh, he doing this literary thing for the kids, reading to them and shit, n helping out Best Buddies, thats such a bunch of fuckery, he only did that cuz he has to do community service, and i dont ever for a second want anyone to believe that he’s doing that out of the good of his heart, CHRIS BROWN IS A STUPID PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND EVERY DAY OF HIS LIFE, HE’S LIVES UP TO THAT STATEMENT, AND WILL ALWAYS BE A PIECE OF SHIT IN MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!…….thats a case closed, stupid fucking ass bitch, monkey looking retarded ass, ugh!!!!!!!!!!! that seriously pissed me the hell off today, ugh!!!
Comment by Qui — March 19, 2010 @ 6:17 pm
IF the ex really did say that about Rihanna he really hasn’t gotten over her.
Trust me. A man only says that when he is still bitter about not being able to be with a woman.
I can guarantee that the ex would do just about anything to get Rihanna in his bed again.
He’s not over her. Again, when a man (in this case a boy) gets over a female they don’t mention her OR even care to know who she’s dating.
Comment by cocoliza — March 19, 2010 @ 6:25 pm
omfg!!!!! that stupid loser, he can kiss Rihanna’s #1 making ass, and i cant remeber what magazine that was when the interviewer asked Rih if they would ever be friends again, and she was like maybe in the next 10 years….hmph, if that was me, and i knew he saying stuff like that about me, i wouldnt even dare look at him again, i would be so scornful, and shameful that i ever even dated someone like that!….thats really upsetting me

So you actually heard him with your own two ears say that?
How did he look when he said it? Like all angry or with a smile?
I tell you CB is no good at all.
God knew what he was doing that night of Feb.8th. God was in control and in the end CB has been exposed for the country scum that he is. SMFH.
I am so hoping he gets one of his video whores pregnant.
Comment by cocoliza — March 19, 2010 @ 6:42 pm
If Chris and his homies really said that the they’re losers , assholes. Doesn’t he realize the more he talks abou her the more his career is being damaged it’s like he’s pointing a gun at his own head. You know what he should keep talking about her til his career is dead completely.
BTW FUCK BOSSIP

The ex is truly a psycho path.
I’m so glad his career is over.
Seriously, what REAL man would say that about a woman who obviously really loved him.
SMH. Again, only a bitter person says this. From personal experience I know a person only says this when they want a second chance with their ex. It’s a way to make themselves feel better.
Matt Kemp you better NOT turn out to be an asshole.
Comment by cocoliza — March 19, 2010 @ 6:55 pm
Christine Brown cleary has psychological problems. He is still harassing Rihanna even though there is a restraining order in place. I am so happy that Rihanna is away from him. He seems capable of doing anything. He is getting desperate and is almost like a drowning man. He will resort to anything like that bullshit story about Rih at Bossip. Rihanna fan and any intelligent person does not believe that nonsensical article. I cannot wait for Chrissy poo to get an ass whopping and believe me its coming. He has no career and will not be able to afford a bodyguard for much longer. Therefore an ass whopping hopefully in the near future. He deserves it.

The ex and his camp are low down and dirty. They are so mad that Rihanna is doing well again. Let them continue their bitter smear campaign because karma will get them. They will all be out of jobs soon anyway.
The ex is the biggest loser I have ever seen. He has the nerve to be mad because Rih dumped his azz for cheating and assaulting her. Really? I’m so glad she has moved on to someone bigger and better.
Rodrigo and Natalie can you please remove the link to that trash web site. Thanks.
Comment by TakeABow2 — March 19, 2010 @ 7:14 pm
Been told you ladies he’s a monster.Thats why I don’t
trust chrihanna fans at all!!! He is scum and deserves
all the bad thats happened to his career.But he’s a
zombie. And only relevant to the hoodrats and Bets of
the world.
@Qui Don’t stress. Riri said that to be classy, but I
showed folks on that Cnn interview, she said his
name like he was a bad taste in her mouth.Also on
20/20 you could see she really hates that bastard.
Comment by maison martin margiela — March 19, 2010 @ 7:19 pm
@maison
I agree. I hate it when CB fans say if Rihanna doesn’t hate him why should you? Oh please. Do you REALLY think behind closed doors Rihanna isn’t disgusted by him?
Of course in front of the cameras she has to come off all diplomatic and be tactful BUT I am sure her inner circle gets to hear the truth about how she feel about this dumb ass.
Please remember there is a lot more going on behind the scenes than we are privy too. I’m sure CB tried pulling all sorts of crap and I am sure Jay Z had to step in and handle shit. I know Rihanna is strong but at some point her advisers/mentors had to step b/c I am sure the ex was trying to bully/intimidate her.
Comment by cocoliza — March 19, 2010 @ 7:23 pm
One thing that I remember that @maison said a couple months back, was that he was going to start pulling these stunts once his career was officialy in the trash. It’s so funny how he and his ppl want to talk shit again once Rihanna got that 6th #1 lol. I fucking knew his ass could not hold bck his true feelings. I hope the media gets a gold of this and splash this all on tv so his judge can see tht he needs more counseling.
Comment by Keeping it real — March 19, 2010 @ 7:31 pm
Oh and any time you can call some one you once loved SLOPPY seconds you can release those nude pics. I don’t give a damn what no body say he did it. And Rihanna knows he did because she never once tried to investigate how they got leaked, def jam just told every blog to take them down but never once got the police involved. Just something to think about.
Comment by Keeping it real — March 19, 2010 @ 7:37 pm
I don’t even understand how he is able to do this. Rihanna just need to ignore him. KIR, manison did say he would start doing crap like this. He is getting desparate. When this all started he was so cocky because he was reading all these blogs and didn’t think his career was damaged. Boy was he wrong. Too many people confuse blog world with the real world.
BTW, I will love to see the day when Bossip/MTO is sued. These stories are bordering on defamation of character, libel and slander.

Comment by Lindy — March 19, 2010 @ 7:43 pm
I too believe he leaked those nude pictures of Rihanna. He made sure not to leak any of his minute penis. :laugh: He tried to throw people off by leaking one with her underwear on his head so people would say if he was the one that leaked them,he would’t have leaked that one. You can fool some people some of the time but you can’t fool all the people all the time. Christopher Maurice Brown leaked them and only God can tell me different. He is such a douche.
Comment by NickeyRockstar — March 19, 2010 @ 7:53 pm
Why are u guys talkin bout that thing u call CB?? I mean seriously
Yeah now since Rihanna has 6 #1s i want to see 10 #1s so Te Amo, Photographs and Rockstar 101 which would make it 9 so then we need need another collaboration with someone then that would be 10 so 2010-2011 she will have 10 number ones
If that fails (good girl gone bad had only one number 1 hit in the US, but then when then reloaded happen and the new songs hit #1 so a rated r reloaded might be a possibility if the other singles dont reach top spot, im not saying its bad and all i like how rated r is and its singles can go 2 the top)
do you guys think that Te Amo would be released as a single?

You are so right. People get the blog world and the real world confused. Blogs only get thousands of hits a week rather they say they get a million or not THEY DON’T (except maybe perez hilton). My best friend does not have a clue that Rihanna has nude pics out and I keep it that way.
Rihanna hates Chris and you can tell every time she speaks about him. She seems angry. She just does not like him at all and is probably laughing so damn hard right now because he is getting all the karma while she is sitting at #1. Chris is gonna end up going into a depression because he is so desperate to get his fame back. Watch him self destruct because its going to be funny.
Comment by anonymous — March 19, 2010 @ 11:28 pm
Imma Be was released as a promo and hit #1 on the BBHOT 100 & Sweet Dreams by Beywolf was leaked and it hit the top ten/top 5 so Te Amo has a chance. Also if you were true fans/stans you would make it number one like how we did with RB. Also i have a feeling that Rude Boy might do an SOS and only hit number one in the US and Australia. (Hurry up other charts around the world )

The saying goes “A drowning man will clutch at a straw”..which means when you are desperate you will do ANYTHING that will help you, even if its not much.

Let his camp keep putting out shit. In the restraining order it specifically states “no harrassing”. Let his posse keep putting out slanderous statements because not only will the woman beater wind up in jail but he will be sued by the other parties. The woman beater has to tread softly…..and those footsteps lead to a judge who won’t take too kindly of any kind of harassment.
On a personal note, i challenge the woman beater to a no holds barred full contact brawl on my property. We will have paying guests and the proceeds will benefit a local abuse shelter. Up to it breezy?
