Rihanna is enjoying an extended stint atop the Billboard Hot 100 this week. According to Billboard, the “Rated R” entertainer’s latest single “Rude Boy” holds on to the top spot for a fifth week. In related news, Rihanna joins Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott and Erykah Badu as an act slated to perform during this year’s Lilith Tour. Rihanna is the latest female artist to join the festival’s founder, Sarah McLachlan, on the summer trek which runs through late August. As previously reported, Rihanna is also due to launch her own tour, the Last Girl on Earth tour, with Ke$ha, this summer. She is also working on a follow-up to “Rated R”.
Rihanna is continuing her streak of success, this time with a fifth consecutive week at the top spot on the music charts. Her latest accomplishment has also earned her a place among other musical superstars as she joins Lilith Tour’s lineup for 2019 – an impressive feat and one that shows just how far Rihanna has come since her first chart-topping hit in 2005. As if all of this wasn’t enough to make fans proud, it looks like we can expect more from our favorite pop star! Let’s take a closer look at what makes Rihanna so successful and why she deserves such recognition.
With over 250 million records sold worldwide, Rihanna is undeniably one of the most popular artists out there today. But it isn’t just about record sales; she also dominates radio airplay, streaming services and digital downloads. In addition to being one of the most streamed female artist of 2018, Rihanna also became only the third woman ever to have four number ones on Billboard’s Hot 100 songs list, making her name even bigger across the world.
Her success continues with yet another milestone: becoming part of Lilith Tour 2019 alongside names like Halsey and Brandi Carlile. This tour brings together some of the biggest female acts in music right now and marks yet another achievement for Rihanna in terms of both commercial success and industry recognition. With each new single or album release, millions around the world wait eagerly for their next dose of creative genius from RiRi – which means we should be expecting something big soon!
Record-Breaking Streak
Rihanna’s reign continues to grow as she takes the No. 1 spot for her fifth week in a row on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. This marks an impressive streak, having topped the list with ‘Work’ featuring Drake and now ‘Needed Me’, making Rihanna only the third artist ever to have two songs at No. 1 consecutively. She joins elite company alongside The Beatles and Mariah Carey who both accomplished this feat in 1995-1996 and 2008 respectively.
On top of that, the singer has just announced plans to join forces with fellow superstar Lilith Fair for their tour later this summer. Performing across North America alongside some of music’s biggest names such as Tegan & Sara, Cat Power and Lauryn Hill is sure to make this one of the hottest tickets around when it kicks off in July.
