Rihanna matches her longest command of the Billboard Hot 100, as “We Found Love,” featuring Calvin Harris, spends a seventh week at No. 1. Good work Rihanna Navy!
She had previously led for seven frames with “Umbrella,” featuring Jay-Z, in 2007 and as a guest on Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie” last year.
“Found” equals Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” – the year’s No. 1 Hot 100 song – for the chart’s longest rule this year. “Found” extends its stay in the Hot 100′s penthouse by spending a fourth week at No. 1 on Radio Songs with 146 million all-format audience impressions (up 2%), according to Nielsen BDS. On the Digital Songs chart, the track holds at No. 2 for a third frame, after five frames at No. 1, with 149,000 downloads sold (down 9%), according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Below Rihanna’s Hot 100 leader, LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It” logs a sixth week at No. 2. The cut rebounds 3-1 on Digital Songs, although with a 5% decrease to 149,000 downloads sold, while holding at No. 2 on Radio Songs (110 million, down 1%). While it still could command the Hot 100 in coming weeks, “Sexy” has spent the most time peaking at No. 2 since Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” (seven weeks, 2009-10).
Bruno Mars’ “It Will Rain” remains at No. 3 on the Hot 100 for a third week, claiming Airplay Gainer honors for a second consecutive week as it surges 8-4 on Radio Songs (96 million, up 21%). On Digital Songs, “Rain” falls 1-4 (129,000, down 22%).
As previously reported, Katy Perry’s “The One That Got Away” vaults 9-4 on the Hot 100 to become the sixth top five hit from her album “Teenage Dream,” an achievement previously belonging only to Janet Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation 1814″ (1989-91) and George Michael’s “Faith” (1987-88).
My favorite tracks from TTT, Someone Like You, Born This Way, Party ft J Cole, Firework. She #1 songs oh yea, no mention about #1 albums, you know why b/c she don’t got none and she can’t. Mention her diamond album oops she aint got none. She’s 4 spots from the top female artist oh but she still not #1, she still not the top female artist. Now she is not. She is still not good enough. She is #5 . 4 other female artist are better then her in evry way including earnings.

Comment by alison — December 14, 2011 @ 5:35 pm
Rihanna reign just won't let up! For some reason I thought Umbrella was #1 for 11 weeks. I think I got 11 because of 11 number 1 songs. To many records to memorize. Lets have WFL stay number 1 for 11 weeks. Like we said haters this reign won't let up! Haters, if you want to live join us, if not then you must die! hahahahaahahahahahahahaha,hahahahahaahahahahahahahah…………hello haters!

Comment by Battleship — December 14, 2011 @ 7:21 pm
Navy your fave just can’t cut it. She is #5 among female artist top earners. Now how do you come at the bottom of the list when you have a album out sveral #1s from the same album and a tour of 90+ dates. I mean seriously how whack is dat. Bey no #1 no tour and she making more chedda. Gaga 1 #1 did she even tour and she killing her in earnings. Rihanna is weak and whack so are her fans. Navy continue paying 99 cents for the singles evry bit count. lmao! Rihanna just not good enough.
Comment by Imka — December 14, 2011 @ 7:55 pm
did someone really say #5 was good. lmao! Navy just not use to the best ah. How do you have 90 tour dates, album and #1 songs oh not to mention endorsements and make 29mil and rank #5 among female artist. Not even top 3 with all them singles. Then you have artist who had 1 or no #1 songs. no or couple endorsement no tour or couple tour dates and still make more than this chic. Not to mention her perfume that is suppose to be successful. Maybe she need to write her own songs and own her own products like the perfume she put out. Maybe then she can compete with the top females in the game. Maybe just maybe she will be good enough to be among the top earners like Bey and Gaga. Ah who am I kiddin. Never. Even when Bey is away from the game she still make more than this fool.
Comment by Imka — December 14, 2011 @ 8:06 pm
Oh you must be one of those stans that knows everything about Rihanna, her positions on the chart, her endorsement deals, her tour dates, but pretends to not be a fan. What's your favourite track on TTT? Don't act like you haven't heard it lol! You got Rihanna notifications on your iPhone or BBM?? So why you hear then? Rihanna got 8 weeks at no.1-more than your fave. 11 no.1 singles-more than your fave and is 4 stops from the top female earners this year. If you spent less time bookmarking RihannaDaily you'd be helping your faves do the same. Better yet-help yourself get a life. YOU need help if you feel the need to follow an artist you dislike. Psychiatric ward for Imka please!
Comment by Typical! — December 14, 2011 @ 8:53 pm
you like some of her songs. good. then why come here and talk about #1 albums? this' unimportant. ;)

@Typical!
Amen! These secret stans are pathetic and jealous.
Comment by RiRi4TX — December 14, 2011 @ 9:58 pm
so annoyed at all these people asking where rihanna's numer 1 album is. I don't if you realize but TALK that TALK debuted at number 1 worldwide. By the way its not her first album to do so either. LOUD also spent i think like 4 weeks at number one worldwide. So yeah maybe no number ones in the us but who cares. Where's your number one albums Imka? how many number 1s you have? who said you are good enough?
Comment by @RihannaNavySEAL — December 15, 2011 @ 1:32 am
in case you didn't notice this is Rihannas turf. You better watch out what say about Rihanna and the navy on here!!! And i know your not very intelligent and up to date with reality but singles on itunes are $ 1.29 not 99 cents. Rihanna is good enough. And she's young shes only 23. She has plenty of time set more records. She made more money this year than you'll ever have in your life. So fuck outta here
Comment by @RihannaNavySEAL — December 15, 2011 @ 1:38 am
I love Robyn, but I agree…..She is EVERYWHERE has the biggest hits in the world how does GA GA earn that much more than her? And I thought Rihanna was bigger than KATY!

THAT doesn't include the Loud Tour earnings it from May 2010 to 2011, so hopefully it would be even higher next year.
Comment by RihFlavour — December 15, 2011 @ 11:18 am
we found love is #1 on itunes #1 on Radio so we're looking at another 2 weeks at #! on billboard!!!!
Comment by RihFlavour — December 15, 2011 @ 11:19 am
tell the truth, you are secretly obsessed with RiRi aren't you? Cmon be honest. Cause if i dislike someone i just don't care enough to write sooooo much about them, so come out of the closet, we know you love RiRi.
Comment by chanchile — December 15, 2011 @ 10:55 pm
For all those who thought she would go number one and stay long because of Jay-Z and Eminem..we found love dunn de place….rahh rahh!!!!
Comment by toutlaguerre — December 17, 2011 @ 5:30 pm
It probably will be, her nearest competition, "Sexy and I know it", is lyrically retarded and about 30-40Million audience impressions behind on radioplay. They're also equal in sales on itunes, so she's still got a big advantage.
I'll say 9 weeks, 10 at the most.
Comment by Truth Teller — December 18, 2011 @ 6:31 pm
Eminem stayed long BECAUSE of her… he knows it, he even thanked her specifically for his album sales and the song's success.
His seeking her out for the song wasn't an "artistic" decision, he wanted her radioplay and audience impressions, and it worked. If you want the "midas touch" on a single, you get Rihanna as a featured artist.
And Jay-Z had little to do with Umbrella, his verse is great but he's on so little of the song that everyone forgets he was even on it. He does much better on "Talk that Talk".
Comment by Truth Teller — December 18, 2011 @ 6:38 pm
Dont say that name…. Im reporting this for profanity.
Comment by Truth Teller — December 18, 2011 @ 6:40 pm
Her tour did very well, a successful tour brings in a buttload of cash. But she's on a major decline and will be gone in a few years. People are bored and sick to death of her crap now.
And Katy Perry doesn't make any money because she sells all her singles for half price so they reach number 1 at some point. She loses money on her music and is about as cheap and manufactured as an artist can get. She's the industry's biggest "Pinnochio" right now. Rihanna went slumming for friends when she hooked up with her.
