Should featured credits count towards an artist's #1 count?

It depends on how prominant they were on the track. In this case, Rihanna was a huge factor in the success of both of her features.

Singing a hook shouldn't count.  |

It depends on how prominant they were on the track. No, it doesn't. Being credited on a number-one single is not subjective. One can add other criteria (e.g., "number-one singles as a lead artist") if they wish to look at something more specific than the number of times an artist hit the top of the charts, but one can't discount someone's number-one hits just because one of the contributing artists wasn't prominant [sic] enough or things like that. This but a SOLO #1 is a SOLO #1, so she has 6 to call her own Technically, only four of hers are solo, since she's the featured artist on two and has featured artists on another two. |

In all of Rihanna's 8 #1 singles she is clearly the draw. None of the songs would've been as successful as they were without her. |

Rihanna has six number ones. I feel that regardless of how prominent she is on the tracks, if they aren't her songs they aren't her #1s.

We must admit though that RiRi made Run This Town and Live Your Life memorable. Can't say the same for Love The Way You Lie 'cause her vocals on that one wasn't that memorable as the previous two.

We must admit though that RiRi made Run This Town memorable. Kanye's verse on RTT is more memorable than her chocked-sounding hook. Another singer could have sung the hook and the song wouldn't have changed one bit. Jay and Kanye made the song regardless. |

8. This is a fact. It is not up for debate. The only people I see adamantly arguing 6 seem bitter over her success

The above person is a case in point especially as evidenced by their readiness to respond since they are the type of person I was talking about. Rihanna hits #1 and suddenly they start talking about Mariahs #1 record. I can smell the fear

Rihanna has 8 number ones.
Rihanna has 6 solo number ones.
I see where people might get perturbed that Rihanna gets more number ones to her credit as a part of being featured on so much, but really...who cares. It's all used for PR spin, anyway, and there are far more ridiculous ways to spin artist accolades.

It seems that some people are upset and only want to dissect the credibility of an artist's #1s when they're a lot. Poor Rihanna & Mariah. Being picked apart for making hit singles. :'( |

6 solo #1's
8 #1's overall.
Should featurings got full #1 credit? Depends on how much said "featuring" contributed to the overall track.

I find it hard to differentiate between sarcastic statements and statements of true belief when its in relation to Rihanna. It wouldn't surprise me to hear someone of her stanbase say that at all.  |

Eminem and T.I.'s careers were in the pits and NEEDED Rihanna to resurrect them for success. He has name credit on it. That's the bottom line. In Eminem's case he didn't release a top 20 radio hit for quite some time until LTWYL came out....get into that! *takes a bow*  Now the song with Lil' Wayne is struggling to gain acceptance on the radio. |

She has 8. A feature or a duet on a track for someone else's album is nonetheless the featured artist's song as well. Otherwise the featured artist would just be a background vocalist without a featured credit.

Unless she wrote or produced her featured singles, I don't consider them her #1 singles.
6 were credited to her as a sole performer. So I'll go with 6.
