'Work' Week: Rihanna Tops Hot 100 for Seventh Week, Fifth Harmony Earns First Top 10 HitSpeaking of The Beatles and Carey, Rihanna has now spent 58 total weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 via her 14 leaders.
Rihanna is just one week away from potentially tying The Beatles (59) for the second-most weeks at No. 1; Carey leads with 79 cumulative frames at the summit. (Boyz II Men, with 50 weeks on top, and Usher, with 47, round out the top five.)
Meanwhile, thanks to "Work," Rihanna ties her second-longest Hot 100 reign, as "Umbrella" (2007) and Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie," on which she's featured (2010), also led for seven weeks each. Only her "We Found Love," featuring Calvin Harris, spent more time on top: 10 weeks in 2011-12.
Rihanna additionally joins Carey as the only artists with four songs each that have led the Hot 100 for at least seven weeks.http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7318927/rihanna-work-hot-100-fifth-harmony-first-top-10
