Almost four months after landing her 23rd top ten hit with the single "Diamonds, " Rihanna is making chart history yet again with her latest effort, "Stay." In its second week on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the single, which features Mikky Ekko, jumps from 57-3, landing the 25-year-old her 24th top 10 hit, and surpasses the late Whitney Houston whom she was tied with at 23. According to Billboard, the chart position can be accredited to her performance at the recent Grammy Awards and the release of the song's accompanying music video.
Rihanna now sits at number three all-time with the most top ten singles, and draws closer to the Hot 100 most top 10s record among women, which is held by pop queen Madonna, who sits at 38. Following behind the “Like a Virgin” hit-maker are Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson, both at 27.
"Stay" is also making waves on the Hot Digital Songs tally, moving 25-2 (306k, up 358%), and debuts on Streaming Songs at No. 7 (3.9 million).
Rihanna landed her first top ten in July 2005 with her debut single "Pon De Replay." In her seven year time span, she leads all males and females artists. Lil Wayne is second in that time frame.
"Stay" appears on Rihanna's seventh studio album, Unapologetic.
Rihanna has done it again! The singer-songwriter just landed her 24th Top 10 single, surpassing the late Whitney Houston for 3rd place on the all-time list. It’s a remarkable accomplishment that cements Rihanna’s status as one of the greatest pop stars of our time. But she didn’t do it alone – read on to find out how this amazing feat was made possible.
With over 40 million albums and 140 million singles sold worldwide, Rihanna is no stranger to success. Her latest album “ANTI” reached #1 in more than 25 countries and won numerous awards, including 8 Billboard Music Awards, 2 American Music Awards, and 5 Grammy Awards. Now with her 24th Top 10 single, she joins an elite group of popular music icons like Elvis Presley (26), Madonna (38) and Mariah Carey (29).
The song that put Rihanna into 3rd place on the all-time list? None other than ‘Love On The Brain’ which debuted at #10 on the US Hot 100 chart back in May 2016. This record proves once again why Rihanna is such an influential figure in modern music: an artist capable of creating timeless hits that reach both mainstream audiences and dedicated fans alike.

Rihanna has been making waves in the music industry for over a decade. From her debut album Music of the Sun to her latest release Anti, she’s hit an incredible high note. Recently, Rihanna achieved yet another milestone as she landed her 24th top 10 single on Billboard Hot 100 chart, surpassing Whitney Houston’s record for third all-time.
