I think we all can learn something important from this.
"Hard" and "Russian Roulette" didn't really have that much success in the US, while "Rude Boy" got to #1. We can learn from this that people still love the "old", fun-dancy colorful Rihanna, and not the dark, edgy one. So Rihanna, Give us more Disturbias!! <3
ATTA 'BOY'!: Rihanna rules the Billboard Hot 100, as "Rude Boy" rides 4-1. With the ascension, the singer improves upon an already impressive chart history that began less than five years ago.
The song marks Rihanna's sixth trip to the Hot 100 summit, tying her with Paula Abdul and Diana Ross for fifth-most No. 1s among women in the Hot 100's 51-year archives.
Here is a look at the chart's leading ladies, ranked by total No. 1s:
18, Mariah Carey
12, Madonna
11, Whitney Houston
10, Janet Jackson
6, Paula Abdul 6, Rihanna
6, Diana Ross
5, Beyonce
5, Olivia Newton-John
5, Barbra Streisand
Yeah, this is Rihanna's first single ever that went #1 on the Hot 100 without reaching #1 on the Digital Sales! (Pon De Replay stayed 6 weeks at #1 in the Digital Sales but never went #1 being blocked by Mariah Carey's We Belong Together)
) It's safe to release Fire Bomb after Photographs!
