If there is anyone who can, that's Rihanna. I think Katy is the second closest to it.

Judging by the last two eras, her lead singles are her only chances at going number one, s&m was obviously a special case.

not true Whats My Name her second single of Loud went number one before OG so no this is wrong.

Who knows? She could surpass Mariah's number 1's as it's very easy nowadays to hit number 1 in Billboard BUT she could never surpass Mariah's cumulative weeks at number 1 which is the much more difficult one to achieve.

Atleast it's 99c and not 69c like some other artist really wanting a #1

[slw84]

Yeah. I think Rihanna has had 1 #1 hit this era. I'm thinking she will achieve 1 for the next few eras. I think she is starting to become overexposed to the point where those #1s are not going to come as easy.

As much as Katy claims that she knows she will never have an era like Teenage dream...I honestly think she is going to make her next era bigger because it's do or die.

That said,
I can see both Katy and Rihanna getting close to 18 #1 hits; however, I honestly think Mariah has another 1 or 2 #1 hits left in her. And they have to come with her next two albums...after that it's a wrap.

TTT reached #31 with no promo&no video
WHYB is currently doing well giving her 22nd top 10

She hasnt reached her "commercial peak' yet she still selling&selling well
Nice try tho

She's not selling as well as her previous efforts despite having a massive hit.

I love Rihanna but it is apparent that her US/WW sales are leveling off like any pop star.

I think her best chances are her 1st and 2nd singles for each era. I don't think she can pull a 3/4 #1 hit with or without features now that she is becoming more and more overexposed.

I pray she takes a break after her 7th album era. Rita Ora is no competition...she can take a break in a year or two and still be good.

when BB said she got the most #1 in a decade, I think they meant 1990-1999 and not 10 years since MC started...if that makes sense

i wouldnt be mad if rih pass mariah for #1s because records are meant to be broken but i dont think rih will have the title "QUeen of #1s" because MC was the first female artist to have 14 in a decade. she got that title in the 90s.

just my opinion

Rihanna has got #11 #1s in 7 years so she still have 3 years to break MC´s record....

You guys seem to think it's easy to continually rack up no 1 hits.

This.

I personally think she might, but people need to realize that both Katy and Rihanna won't be able to reach #1 so easy over the next 10 years...........

[XChrisX]

I hope not. She doesn't deserve it.

Why are you quoting me numbers like #14 and #31 and then expecting that to sound impressive?

No-one can keep churning out #1 hits indefinitely, year after year. Rihanna has taken barely a break for what, 7 years now? She will obviously slow down at some point - in my opinion, in the not too distant future.

I admire your confidence thinking it will be straightforward for her to get 8 more #1's to pass Mariah. But that is a hell of a lot. I don't think she's going to do it.

I will again go out on a limb and say she will not surpass Michael Jackson's 13. If she does, feel free to quote me and show me how wrong I was.

[BBathHausOfGaga]

If its catchy and very generic then i guess.
But as someone said above, she doesn't deserve it.
At all. (even tho i luv her)

i agree with this

[Strangergab]

Yup

Rihanna is more likely to have the amounts of #1's that Mariah has another number 1

8 to catch up. 9 to pass

Mariah = 18
Rihanna = 11

So it's 7 to catch up and 8 to pass. Not that it matters as RiRi won't do it.

[Harajuku]

Now that I think about it, I dont think she will
