Billboard has decided to to discuss the first decade of Rihanna’s music career. The icon known as Rihanna has a total of 13 Billboard Hot 100 toppers, tying Michael Jackson for the third-most most Hot 100 No. 1s all-time. Both Rihanna and Michael only trail behind Madonna (18) and The Beatles (20). Thanks to Billboard and Nielsen Music we get to take a look at how well Rihanna is doing in the music game. Sidenote “FourFiveSeconds” by Rihanna and Kanye West and Paul McCartney is one of the 10 best songs of 2015 so far according to Billboard. Here’s what they have to say about it:
It’s the end of June, and we’re still waiting for the new Rihanna and Kanye West albums… as well as some indication that either will be coming soon. To tide us over, however, the pair of music superstars linked up with a legend and recorded a durable, folked-up soul sing-along. Ye and Rih always zag when we expect them to zig, and we’re forever grateful for it.
