Rihanna got as many #1 songs as Stevie and Janet

No kidding. :rolleyes:

And she got to 10 #1s faster than any other female or solo artist in history. She was only beaten by The Beatles and Supremes. She's also the youngest artist to reach 10 #1s (which only 8 other acts have done).

She's the "artist of the century" so far.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::lol::smh::smh:
 
Damn. Can't nobody name all her #1's?:lol:

If a mufucka had a gun to my momma head and told me to name 3 songs PERIOD by that bitch, I'd just look at my mom and say "I love you...but...damn...I'm sorry momma! I'm sooorrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy!!!!"
 
Are records counted the same in this era as in the past, during the Stevie Wonder, James Brown era, if an artist had a number one song, he more than likely sold 1 million copies of that single. I think airplay was also figured into the equation.

Is the formula today the same as in the past, on average how many singles does an artist sell today when they have a #1 single. Someone educate the old man. :dunno:

HNIC

Apparently sales and airplay.And as we all realize most radio stations repeat the same 10 to 20 songs on a constant loop.So being catchy has something to do with it but the age of pay for play does as well.

Sad thing is she's coming to town soon with Cee-lo as her opening act.Everybody who I've told about the concert has a)been confused by the combination of Cee-lo and Rihanna and b)was excited when I told them Cee-lo was coming to town for concert and then got disappointed real quick when they found out that Rihanna was part of the show as well.
 
Stevie... Janet? If Janets in there, what excludes Rihanna? I didn't know Janet or DIana Ross were considered great voices. Artistry is more than that.
 
Never been a fan of this chick. She just never impressed me. She just proves you don't need talent to succeed in the music business.
 
he did not just put Rhianna in the same sentence as Stevie Wonder......


Damn what has the world come to.....

Took the words from me

:eek:

I like this.

:yes:
 
Will people still play her songs or even remember her 20 years from now?
 
Talent and popularity are 2 different things. This generations taste in music is lacking because the average person that would actually listen to rihanna outside the club have never been exposed to better music and better talent. So yeah she'll get her #1s but as far as getting them for being really talented....
 
1. SOS
2. Umbrella
3. Take a Bow
4. Disturbia
5. Rude Boy
6. Only Girl (In the World)
7. What's My Name?
8. S&M
9. Live Your Life
10. Love the Way You Lie

And by no way was I comparing her hits or Rihanna her self to Stevie.:hmm:

Stevie's timeless.

We're just talking numbers here.

1. Fingertips - Pt. 2
2. Superstition
3. You Are the Sunshine of My Life
4. You Haven't Done Nothin'(with The Jackson 5)
5. I Wish
6. Sir Duke
7. Ebony and Ivory (with Paul McCartney)
8. I Just Called to Say I Love You
9. Part-Time Lover
10. That's What Friends Are For(with Dionne Warwick, Elton John and Gladys Knight)
 
Shit that good girl gone bad had 5 number one hits off the album. Plus putting jay z, eminem and t.i. to number one on her hooks alone.
 
Bitch Sound Like a West Indian Billy Goat

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Maybe she should of been a country singer with that voice.

NOT EVEN!!!

After Rhianna was paired with this Country Chick on the CMA Awards a few weeks ago...

Shit was confirmed that the ONLY thing Trini-Girl's vocal "skills" are probably good for are blow-jobs.

Jennifer Nettles BLEW Rhianna out of the water.
 
I don't measure music by units sold,that's the job of accountants,I measure it by how it touches my soul.....so on that front she looses.
But I do wish her luck in her business venture....
 
10 behind the Beatles, 8 behind Mariah, 7 behind Elvis, 3 behind Michael, 2 behind Madonna and the Supremes and one behind Whitney.

And she aint even 25 yet.

We kill this chick's talent on this board, but could she verfy well surpass these artist?

Or is this more an indictment on our tastes?

SOS and S&M aren't exactly classics.:(

Right there in bold.
 
Man, I don't have a CD player in my car so I listen to the radio and that shit might as well be called Rihannio.

Her song with Drake, "What's my name," is still played with insane frequency along with "Only Girl in the World". I just heard her song with Eminem, "Love The Way You Lie," today. I know I could name at least five more.


You have my condolences . I think I would listen to talk radio before i listen to what they pass off as music stations these days.They might as well put in a cd and loop it since they play the same 10-15 songs all day long.

Thanks god for xm-radio and ipods.

Janet is a performer and talented show woman. He songs are also better songs as far as being better written.

Janet could also sell out arenas on the strength of her shows.

There are many people back in the day who put out good music or put on great shows or both that didn't have the purest voices.

But Janet's voice is still better than RhiRhi



Dude knows the words ......:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I remember watching this concert on HBO

just a popular artist. i wouldnt be surprised if she passed the artists up there. but i mean tracks are only like 99cents. compared to where they were $2-5. plus cant even remember half her stuff. sales #s are so different then they were even 10yrs ago
 
This is not excatly an era in which original artists step up to the plate...I can not understand the hype about lady Gaga,she's Madonna all over again but Rihanna however has done some catchy tunes and she is sexy as hell,I gotta give her credit for that.
