Barbadian hit-singer Rihanna debuts atop the chart with her newest single “Work” alongside Canadian rapper Drake. This earns Rihanna her ninth Number 1-hit on this list, making Rihanna the artist with the third-most chart-toppers, placing her just behind Britney Spears (10) and the Spice Girls (12). Rihanna started her career in early August 2005 with “Pon De Replay”, which became her first Top 10-single and kickstarted a multi-decade string of hits. In November 2007, Rihanna scored her first Number 1 with “Please Don’t Stop the Music”. Even bigger success followed, especially between 2010 and 2011, when she scored twelve Top 10-entries, including five Number 1-records. Her biggest hit to date remains “We Found Love” alongside Calvin Harris in 2011. The single spent eight weeks atop the chart, earned a 5 x Platinum-certification and amassed over 144,000 points. In total, Rihanna scored forty-four entries on this list, of which thirty-two reached the Top 10. Overall, Rihanna is one of the highest-scoring acts of all time.
