Rihanna has sparked a buzz in a MAJOR way. I so believe that she will go down in the books as one of the best. “Diamonds,” the first single has gone #1 on the charts. This makes her 12th number one single, coming in on a strong tie with Madonna. Not for nothing I don’t think Madonna is going to be having any more number one hits, so it’s only right to say that RiRi is going to win this one. Drop down bottom for more.
Having first led the Hot 100 the week of May 13, 2006, with “SOS,” Rihanna passes Carey as the female artist to reach 12 No. 1s the fastest. Rihanna’s six-year, seven-month span between her first and 12th leaders bests Carey’s seven-year, one-month, two-week stretch. Among all acts, only the Beatles (a rapid-fire, Beatlemania-fueled two years, four months and three weeks) and the Supremes (five years, four months) reached the milestone more quickly.
