Rihanna your favorite star from Barbados has joined the ranks of other foreign acts that took over American charts in The Beatles. Not only does she have a song with Paul McCartney himself, she has also now tied one of his records while he was a Beatle.
According to VULTURE
On this week's Billboard Hot 100, Rihanna and Drake's "Work" has landed its eighth week at No. 1. That news might not immediately sound special, but eight weeks in the top slot puts Rihanna on par with the Fab Four. With "Work" again in first, she's now accumulated 59 weeks at No. 1 — the same as the Beatles. All she needs is 20 more weeks there, and she'll match Mariah's record of 79 total weeks at No. 1. She also only needs six more No. 1 songs, and she'll be in the history books for tying the Beatles' all-time record of 20 No. 1 songs. Rihanna, by the way, is only 28. And when he's not busy ruling the charts with his work wife, Drake also has two new songs on the chart: "Pop Style," featuring Kanye West and a few words from Jay Z, has debuted at No. 16, while the summer-ready "One Dance" enters at No. 21.
