Two weeks after topping the Billboard Hot 100 with “What’s My Name?” (featuring Drake), Rihanna will return to No. 1 on the chart released Thursday (Nov. 25) with “Only Girl (In the World),” the debut single from her new album, “Loud.”

It’s the first time in Hot 100 history that an album’s debut single reaches No. 1 after the second single does. “What’s My Name” dips 7-8 on the Hot 100, though it does take the Airplay Gainer for a fourth straight week. “Loud”, meanwhile, debuts at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

“Only Girl” is Rihanna’s fourth single to ascend to No. 1 in 2010, making her the first female, and first artist overall since Usher in 2004, to hit the top that many times in a single calendar year. Rihanna also moves to the forefront for most No. 1s in the millennium (since 2000), as “Only Girl” is her ninth track to lead the list. She had been tied with Usher for the past two weeks, with eight chart-toppers since 2000.

List of Rihanna’s No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100:

• S.O.S. (2006)
• Umbrella (2007)
• Take A Bow (2008)
• Disturbia (2008)
• Live Your Life (2008)
• Rude Boy (2010)

Kanye West wrote the cover story on Rihanna for the upcoming issue of Interview Magazine. Click the thumbs below to view the magazine scans. Rihanna even talked about having a baby:

“I don’t really plan on the age. It could be a year from now. It could be 10 years from now. Whenever is right. I mean, I have a lot of other stuff to accomplish before I get to kids. Whenever the time is right, I’ll just know. If I had a girl, she’d probably be really rebellious,” she laughs. “She would be like a bundle of karma.”
