Rihanna makes UK chart history... again

[Me. I Am Salman]

Rihanna has joined The Beatles and Elvis Presley as one of just three acts to top the UK singles chart seven times over seven years.

The singer has stormed into the number one spot, as the featured artist on rap star Eminem's new track The Monster.

The pair held off a challenge from boyband One Direction, who were tipped to have their fourth number one with Story Of My Life.

The Monster is Eminem's first number one hit since 2006.

A previous collaboration with Rihanna, Love the Way You Lie, made it to number two in the UK charts in 2010.

The track is taken from his latest album Marshall Mathers LP 2, which also features this month's top 10 hits Berzerk and Rap God. It will be released on 5 November.

I actually hadn't heard the song until about 4 hours ago. But :worship:

A number #1 for the last 7 years, I hope she can make it ten years.

Eminem's Last album First Week Sales - 714,000

Rihanna Unapologetic - 238,000

Rihanna Talk That Talk - 197,040

Maths homework for you kids is to find out how many Rihanna albums it takes to make up irrelevant Eminem's last album figures. Answers on my desk by tomorrow morning.

[Me. I Am Salman]

yeah because higher album sales suddenly make him the bigger artist
she trumps him in many other departments

[MeMyselfAndI]

At least I can say Taylor Swift owns Eminem in every thread now with that argument, ty BL

[Me. I Am Salman]

anyway I like Eminem but lbr, he's pretty bad now :/

The surgery did him in

[Saph]

what surgery?

[Brother Leon]

The argument was that he isn't "relevant" though......not that he isn't a good artist. Good try though.

[Me. I Am Salman]

^ it was obviously a joke tho, I know Eminem still slays unbelievably hard

[reece(:]

what surgery?
The facial surgery

So Eminem fans are more likely to buy and listen to full albums of material whilst Rihanna has a more casual fanbase inclined to purchase or download singles.

Sounds fair enough to me. I know which group I'd rather have as fans.
