"Work" lifts the diva into a tie with three legends.
As previously reported, Rihanna's "Work," the lead single from her new album Anti, rockets onto the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Feb. 13) at No. 9, instantly becoming the superstar's 27th top 10.
With the song's arrival, she ties Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson and Elton John for the fifth-most top 10s in the Hot 100's history.
Especially impressive, Rihanna has reached 27 Hot 100 top 10s faster than any other soloist. Dating from an artist's first week on the Hot 100 to the frame in which it notched its 27th top 10, only one act has reached the sum more quickly: the Beatles tallied their 27th top 10 (1969's "Get Back," with Billy Preston) a mere five years, three months and three weeks after their 1964 Hot 100 debut with "I Want to Hold Your Hand" (their first Hot 100 charted title, top 10 and No. 1).
