After George Michael scalped Michael, Madonna, Whitney, Etc... No one in the 1990s was able to have 4 or more #1s in a calendar year...
Kinda sad.

She had 3 number ones in 2010 (California Gurls, Teenage Dream, Firework) and 3 number ones in 2011 (Firework, ET, Last Friday Night)
All of them as a lead artist...such as all the artists in the list above except for Rihanna...she had 3 singles as a lead artist in 2010...and 1 collabo as the featured artist...

It's pretty much just because the advent of Soundscan tracking provided more accurate, longer runs at #1 for big hits.
