Rihanna Beats Michael Jackson's Record For 'Most Number Ones'
Rihanna must be seriously chuffed as it is reported that she has beaten music icon Michael Jackson in becoming the artist to chart the third-most US number one records of all time.
The 28-year-old star’s most recent single ‘Work’ has become her 14th release to top the Billboard Hot 100, beating Michael’s 13 chart-topping singles.
RiRi was understandably over-the-moon to have nabbed the prestigious number one spot, tweeting: “#WORK tops Billboard #Hot100!! Navy you killed it this week! #NavyRDie ”.
Billboard confirmed that she’d beaten MJ’s record, explaining: “The song becomes Rihanna’s 14th leader, lifting her past Michael Jackson for the third-most No. 1s all-time.”
Rihanna is still behind Mariah Carey, who has bagged herself eighteen number ones, and The Beatles, who hold the world record with twenty number ones.
Meanwhile, Rihanna has landed in London ahead of tomorrow night’s BRIT Awards - strengthening speculation that she is set to perform, with host Ant saying: “Rihanna’s plane has touched down so we are fairly certain she will be performing.
“She didn’t even get on it last year, so at least she is physically in the country.”
We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for this one!
