‘Rude Boy’ : Number 1 on Billboard!

Rihanna’s label website has been updated with awesome news!

Billboard  Hot 100 singles chart: “Rude Boy” by Rihanna jumps into the #1 spot, the 22-year old star’s 5th #1 solo single (and overall 6th #1 career single) in less than four years.

We are so proud, RiRi! You deserve it! And congratulations to the fans, we know you worked too hard this week – and it was worth it!

Rihanna is now the female artist with most number 1 singles (S.O.S., Umbrella, Disturbia, Take A Bow, Live Your Life, Rude Boy) in the United States since 2000 – she’s not tied with anyone. She also has 8 top 3 singles, 14 top 10, and 18 top 20 singles!

UPDATE: Billboard.com reported:

Rihanna  replaces labelmate Taio Cruz atop the Billboard Hot 100, set to be released tomorrow (Thursday, March 18), as her latest single “Rude Boy” jumps 4-1.

“Rude” is Rihanna’s sixth Hot 100 No. 1 and fifth as a lead artist. Her most recent chart-topper had been as a featured vocalist on T.I.’s “Live Your Life” in 2008. Her other leaders are “SOS” (2006, three weeks), “Umbrella,” featuring Jay-Z (2007, seven weeks), “Take A  Bow” (2008, 1 week) and “Disturbia” (2008, two weeks)

Since debuting on the scene in June 2005 with the No. 2-peaking “Pon De Replay,” Rihanna has posted more Hot 100 No. 1 than any other artist. Next in line is Justin Timberlake who’s scored five chart-toppers during this span.

With “Rude Boy” knocking Cruz’s “Break Your Heart” (1-3) out of the top slot, the Island Def Jam Music Group (IDJMG) label posts back-to-back Hot 100 No. 1s for the first time since “Gold Digger” by Kanye West featuring Jamie Foxx replaced Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together” at the head of the chart dated Sept. 17, 2005. “Heart” continues to top the Digital Songs chart, moving 202,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan (down 26%).
