There's not that much weirdness: Rihanna's song is the newest of the lot, it's pretty normal that she is increasing once people get accustomed with her new release.
If she manages longevity (which I think she will) with this song she might slowly but steadily climb, too.
The top songs in the list are the same since an eternity... the casual buyer might be more interested in a new song (and unexpected) than something he/she has listened to for the past three months continuously, which they probably already bought, too.
I quite like the perfect European club feeling of this latest offer by Rihanna, in fact, and I am not really a fan of her music generally.
Americans might be slower to like it than Europeans, more used to that kind of electro dance beat, but I am sure in a little while the song will actually flourish in charts everywhere.
As I said, it's often a matter of getting used to something, and for once Rihanna might find more success in the "casual" buyer than not with her usual fanbase.
The only real contender to the number one now being Adele with the only "Fall-ish" sounding song in the top ten (though Stereo Hearts has a bit of Fall-ish feeling too at its core), and maybe Bruno Mars with the Twilight soundtrack, if it's as well a "Fall-ish" number.
Ballads will soon take away the chart, but for some reason, I feel the ethereal resounding of WFL will fit well among them, for a change of pace.
