Rihanna rumbles 13-8 on the Billboard Hot 100 (dated March 4) with Love on the Brain, marking her milestone 30th top 10. Dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, inception, only Madonna, with 38, and The Beatles, with 34, boast more. Rihanna breaks a tie for third place with Michael Jackson, who’s tallied 29 top 10s, as a soloist.
Notably, Rihanna sports the second-fastest accumulation of 30 Hot 100 top 10s (from an act’s first-ever week in the region to the first week in the tier with its 30th). Having first hit the top 10 with Pon De Replay on the July 16, 2005-dated chart, she needed 10 years, seven months and two weeks to tally 30 top 10s. Only The Beatles hit the landmark more quickly, from I Want to Hold Your Hand to Something, over a span of just five years, nine months and two weeks (Jan. 25, 1964-Nov. 8, 1969).
Here's a recap of Rihanna's 30 Hot 100 top 10s (with 25 in a lead role).
