Posted by Natalia Buia on October 6th, 2011

 

 

Fizzled out pop icons of the 80′s better watch their back! Rihanna’s in it to win it. The 23-year-old singer has now beaten Madonna as the fastest solo artist to reach 20 Top-10 hits.

Rihanna’s newest single, “Talk That Talk” with Calvin Harris currently sits at #9 in its second week on the charts, giving her a total of 20 songs on the Top-10 charts in just six years and four months.

For the Queen of Pop herself, well it took her a little bit longer. Slow and steady didn’t win the race, it seems. Madge was beaten by just five months.

It appears Rihanna’s popping hit after hit since Pon De Replay. while Madonna’s giving us flop after flop. I mean, remember her urban pop album Hard Candy? Yeah, we don’t either.

Rascal Flatts Beats Out Miley Cyrus On The Albums Chart

Posted by Ilan Mester on April 16th, 2009

Rascal FlattsMiley Cyrus may have a No.1 movie at the box office, but she doesn’t have a No. 1 album. Country trio Rascal Flatts took the top album spot with their latest “Unstoppable,” selling  351,000 copies. Meanwhile, the “Hannah Montana soundtrack” sold 196,000 copies, per Nielsen SoundScan numbers.

Still, it looks like Cyrus benefited from the “Hannah Motana: The Movie” release because the film’s soundtrack sold 57,000 more discs then it did during the CD’s debut.

Also, Cyrus’ on-screen and off-screen father Billy Ray Cyrus reached the No. 41 spot with his latest album “Back to Tennessee.”

Bruce Springsteen Takes The No. 1 Spot

Posted by Ilan Mester on February 4th, 2009

It took eight weeks for another album to top the Billboard albums chart: Bruce Springsteen was able to knock Taylor Swift’s “Fearless” album from the No. 1 spot with “Working On A Dream”.

According to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan, Springsteen’s latest album will top the album’s chart on sales of 223,000. Meanwhile Taylor Swift will hold onto the No. 2 spot.

Despite his widely viewed performance at the inauguration of President Barack Obama and his Super Bowl appearance, Springsteen’s latest album sold 100,000 fewer copies than the band’s 2007 album “Magic” in its first week.

Beyoncé’s “I Am … Sasha Fierce” landed the No. 3 spot selling 51,000 copies followed by “Dark Horse,” the latest from Nickelback. Kanye West’s “808s & Heartbreak” earned the No. 5 spot with 33,000 copies, while the newcomer 2009 Grammy Nominees is at No.6 with 32,000. Jamie Foxx follows with “Intuition” (31,000) and “A Different Me” by Keyshia Cole reaches No. 8.
