Rihanna Rules!

Filed under: Rihanna > Music Minute > Mariah Carey

wenn5117516.jpg

Princess RiRi reigns supreme!

Her latest single, Take a Bow, had an opening week of 267,000 digital downloads, landing the track at the number one spot on the Hot Digital Songs chart in the U.S. this weel.

Rihanna also made a stratospheric rise to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 this week, jumping from number 53 to the number one spot as well!

RiRi has made the second highest jump in Billboard history, with the highest going to Maroon 5 last year with Makes Me Wonder jumping from number 64 to number one on the Hot 100.

Riri's expanded version of her Good Girl Gone Bad album is set to release on June 17th.

Gotta milk it while you can!

Rihanna now has two of the top three opening-week downloads in history. She was only surpassed by Mariah Carey's Touch My Body, which hit the all time high number-one spot with 286,000 downloads last month. That beat out Rihanna's Umbrella which debuted last year at 277,000.

At this rate, though, RiRi might be beating Mimi soon!

    Rihanna has the WORST voice ever. Umbrella was a good jam that's all, everything after sucked. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard! I know so many people who feel this why about her that I'm surprised EVERYONE hasn't caught on to it yet. Must be the Chris Brown thing keeping her relevant. Anyone ever hear her older stuff. Can you say ears bleeding…GEEZ! Perez, seriously, I thought you had better musical taste. Really listen to her voice next time.

    Go Riri!!! Take the bow has grown on me. It also comes to show that people are downloading singles and not buying them from shops anymore. I'd rather buy an album itself and not download it because I like having the object their iteself.

    Riri is a fashionista, but she aint and could never be better than Mariah! Mariah is THE VOICE

    I like that JayZ dissed her hard when she tried to hug him at the award show. He sould have after the way she dissed Beyonce (it's only her mentors woman) in her passive aggressive way. She deserved that. She thinks she is the poo but she's really just a major poser. A Flash in the proverbial pan.

    She is a pretty girl, the camera loves her, and the haircut has made her look much more mature (she looked like a my little pony when she was a new artist), but I wonder…how long will it all last for her?
    Re-releases are a hustle, for most artists it is either the album is doing really bad (Kelly Rowland) or very good (Alicia Keys in the past) and they want to parlay that success into another 1-3 million copies sold (or at least shipped).

    The people who write and autotune her voice are the real stars. Having a number1 on the charts means shit, want proof? soulja boy had a number 1.The music industry sucks shit!

    I can't stand her!!! She is a talentless, mediocre looking, full of herself nobody. Everyone talks about how talentless Ashlee Simpson is, yet the swoon over Rhianna??? I don't get it. Please report on people with at least some talent. Having a cute haircut and a edgy style does not make her newsworthy.

    I really have enjoyed most of Riri's songs, but she should make more club like songs like she has in the past. Don't stop the music, pon-da reply, and umbrella were my favs. I really don't like the take a bow song. So I am surprised it has gained so much popularity.
