RIHANNA TIES MICHAEL JACKSON WITH 13 #1 SINGLES

The singer now has a total of 13 number ones, tying her only with Michael Jackson and passing Madonna and Katy Perry along the way – who have achieved 11 number ones. The single also reached number one in UK, marking her eighth UK number one. It also made her the third act ever to the achieve seven number ones in seven consecutive years. Elvis Presley and The Beatles are the only other acts to achieve this.

BOSSIP recently reported:

Well, Rihanna‘s really startin’ somethin’ now (ba-ziiiiiing!). Thanks to her feature on Eminem‘s second Marshall Mathers LP 2 single “The Monster,” which bumps Miley Cyrus‘ “Wrecking Ball” off the top of the Hot 100 this week, the Barbadian songbird has now tied Michael Jackson‘s string of 13 #1 singles in the US, according to Billboard. This puts MJ and RiRi behind only The Beatles (20) and Mariah Carey (18) as far as the most #1s, and it has them now just ahead of Madonna and The Supremes (both have 12).

Of course, it should be noted that 12 of Michael Jackson’s #1s were billed to the King Of Pop alone (only “Say Say Say” was a pair-up, with Paul MCartney). Three of Rihanna’s chart-topping singles are features: T.I.‘s “Live Your Life,” Eminem‘s “Love The Way You Lie” and, now, “The Monster.”
