Rihanna Renews ‘Love’ Affair Atop Hot 100

  • After a two-week respite, Rihanna’s “We Found Love,” featuring Calvin Harris, returns to the Billboard Hot 100 summit (2-1) for a ninth total week in charge.

The song, which already represents Rihanna’s longest residence at No. 1 on the Hot 100, matches Ke$ha’s “TiK ToK” in early 2010 for the longest time tallied atop the Hot 100 for any song since the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” racked 14 weeks on top in summer 2009.

On Radio Songs, “Love” rules for an eighth week (152 million audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS), granting Rihanna her longest reign on the list as a lead act, besting the seven-week domination of her “What’s My Name?,” featuring Drake, early last year. She also ties her longest stranglehold atop the chart overall, having spent eight weeks at No. 1 on Radio Songs as a guest on T.I.’s “Live Your Life” in 2008-09 and Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie” in 2010. 

On Digital Songs, “Love” descends 2-4 with 185,000 downloads sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

With its return to No. 1 on the Hot 100, “Love” dethrones LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It” after two weeks in the penthouse. “Sexy” slips 1-3 on Digital Songs (212,000, down 49%) and 3-5 on Radio Songs (98 million, down 1%).
