A few months ago, I informed you all that Geri Halliwell held the record for most UK number one singles by a female artist - four in her solo career. (As of yet, haters.) A few girls - Leona, Alexandra, Pixie, Cheryl - all have three a piece, but a struggling (to put it mildly) to match, let alone break the record set by Queen Ginger.

Rita Ora is on track for her third consecutive number one in her adopted homeland.

Will she break Geri's record?

And Union Jackers, what can we do about this tragedy?

I didn't know she's huge in the UK

Probably with less than a year. OMG without releasing the album yet?

Wow at that slayage

I don't think she will. I think How We Do might get number one, but I'm going to call it a flop. But that's just based off of what we have over here in the US, Public opinion might be totally different over there, but here's to hoping she can atleast tie.

Get it Rta

It's not a particularly hard or amazing record to break. Successful UK women sell more albums than singles, which is why it's not been broken yet.

Rihanna hasn't gotten 3 UK #1s yet?

Four is such a low record.

This is only for English female artists right? I swear Madonna and Kylie has more than 4.

The record is for Female BRITISH Artist, which Rita is. She is a legal citizen of the UK.

The UK loves her because she's so similar to Rih tbh

Ah.

But surely the DJ fresh track shouldn't count cause she's not the artist of it.

OMG,She is British?!


She might,which is sad
Her songs are really basic,even though i did enjoy some of her songs.

Geri was SO close to 5 #1s. Look At Me peaked at #2, and from what I gather it definitely would've gone to #1 if it'd only been given a second CD single. I remember someone telling me that it was in more individual transactions that week than whatever went to #1, but the other song had both a CD1 and a CD2 available for purchase, so it ended up selling more in the end.

Anyway, I think Rita's probably got it in the bag. I don't mind her though.

Nah, she only has 1 in my eyes.

At the end of the day "Hot Right Now" is Rita's vocals.

!!!

Yes it should. It's turning out to be just as much her song as it is his.

Is Rita actually doing that well over there? I hope she doesn't. Geri is flawless and deserves that record.

Even if Rita did hardly anything on the song, it should still count. Featurings ALWAYS count for things like this. They have to specify as a lead artist if they want to exclude Hot Right Now.

I think How We Do will go to #1, but I think maybe not, because it's SO generic, and there's nowhere near as much hype around it as there was with R.I.P.

I don't even know who that Geri girl is, so GO RITA!!

R.I.P., How We Do, Hot Right Now and Roc The Life are all perfect and most of the previews of the album sound great too.
