Rihanna's single "Needed Me" has spent 16 weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 thus far, which has set a record: it has totaled the most weeks in the top 10 without going top five. It passes Kelly Clarkson's "Behind These Hazel Eyes," which peaked at No. 6 and spent 15 weeks in the top 10 in 2005. "Needed Me" has reached No. 7 on the Hot 100 so far.

That song is resilient
It's been on the charts for 30+ weeks I believe. And STILL in the Top 10.

It's actually an unique record to make.

!!!

It gets so much radio play. I hated the song when the album came out but it's the best this era..

I didn't think it'd catch on like that
especially since KIB didn't

I think KIB should've been a stand alone last single from the era... it needed more attention and treatment

in terms of commercial success + critical acclaim, this era actually probably rivals GGGB for her, given the times

[Rxxf]

I am surprised that Needed Me slayed Kiss It Better

Omg

Did Brandy set the record

Yes. She was the first to do at least 12 weeks. That's a feat.
Cause usually to have to long weeks in the Top 10, you had to have had a #1 hit or a Top 5 song.

She peaked at #6. Which just shows the longevity of the song, as most songs below Top 5 are IN and OUT and replaced by new songs.

[Rxxf]

Brandy also set the record for the BIGGEST jump into the Top 5 in 1995 with "BABY"
#60 to #5
Right after that.

She held the record until the digital era.
