With “Diamonds”, Rihanna logs a 47th cumulative week at number 1, a sum compiled among 12 leading titles. Thus, another way to consider Rihanna’s “Hot 100” success is that she spends almost four weeks on top once sending a single to number 1.
I.e., “She has a 3.9 WIN average on the “Hot 100″.”
The takeaway is that when Rihanna tops the “Hot 100”, chances are she’s not ceding the top spot quickly; eight of her 12 number 1s have spent multiple weeks at the summit.
