Today marks the day Rihanna takes the title of "Most successfull Dutch Top40-act" off all time, beating Madonna.

This feat is based on a point system (if a song is #1 it gets 40 points, #2 39 points etc. etc.)
She first charted in September 2005 with Pon De Replay (#17) and is charting with This Is what you Came For and Work at this very moment.

Despite being the biggest Top40-artist she only landed one #1-hit with "Don't Stop The Music"
Diamonds was her biggest hits in points, gathering a total of 784 in total.

She now has 13.486 points in total, beating Madonna by 40 points

How long has this chart been active.

Not sure about Dutch charts but Madonna's True Blue held #1 38 weeks in Europe on the album sales chart and had never had any remote competition since.

I use the Single Top 100 but snatch those records global icon

Interesting but with only one number one it must be a new chart. Not to take anything away from Rihanna she is amazing.

Queen of music.

Its actually amazing how much she has achieved in 11 years..

amazing feat... specially as she only has 1 #1 there....

incredible that most of her signature hits peaked always at #2 #3 or #4... shame

Most of madonna singles are solo .

Well, congratulations on being successfull Rihanna.

Well songs chart a lot longer now than they did in the past because of the limited availability of physical singles, so this inverse point system doesn't really make sense without taking that into account.

Pretty much all of them apart from last two or 3.

This blatant attempt to belittle the achievement. Nobody cares. The singles landscape has changed since the 80s + 90s. People collaborate more. And regardless, Rihanna will probably overtake Madonna even with solo singles eventually.

Mess I was waiting to post this till more people were online

Slay queen

Black Madonna.
