^And there's plenty of time to get there- she's only 23.

I doubt at this point in RiRis career that she's concerned of getting more #1s.. She already has 10 of them. Label is confident that she'll place high regardless when the single is released. They want that record...dont be fooled. Yes, they won't stop until she breaks The Beatles' s rceord

She might even get there before Mariah will.

As someone who has religiously followed the charts for thirty years and seen so many trends come and go, I wouldn't necessarily count Rihanna out yet. She has an interesting way of adapting her style and appealing to pop, urban, dance and adult radio at the same time. In collecting 10 #1s in 5-1/2 years, she's exactly on pace with where Mariah Carey was at that point of her career, which, in the post BDS era, I almost thought impossible. Anything's possible regarding her future, but she's certainly done amazing things in the last 6 years.

Indeed, she's done amazingly well already and whilst not a good album seller she is a pop icon who releases songs which are current but still sound great after several years (Pon de Replay, Umbrella, Rude Boy)

The thing about Rihanna, is that even tho she IS indeed a huge star, she (or her team) doesn't feel like they are above doing collaborations/featurings.
Back in the 90's (pre Glitter and post WBT) Mariah wouldn't even consider being the feature of another big star.
I think Lady GaGa has fallen into the too big to collab category (with the exceptions of her collab with legends.... ie Bennett).
Katy Perry is too early to tell, but post TD, she hasn't done collab where she is not the Main artist.

Katy Perry is too early to tell, but post TD, she hasn't done collab where she is not the Main artist. Pre-Glitter, Sony didn't want her all over rap hooks because that wasn't the image they were trying to project. Post-WBT she recorded a flop single with Bone Thugs and Bow Wow, so I don't think she's really "above it". I think she did it out her love for them working with her on "Breakdown". Plus there has been word that Mariah may be featured on Nicki Minaj's sophomore album. I would agree she's not the type of artist who is looking for rap hooks to appear on or will just work with anyone who asks and can pay her fee (Lil' Wayne), but I don't think she's "above" it.

@lugus That's not true. Mariah has collaborated with other artist many times, she just wants the right chemistry when it comes to her material and the other artist. And she has done features as well: "Lil Love" with Bone Thugs, "IKWYW" with Busta, her feature with The Dream...

Mariah needs the exposure, what does she have to lose here? I think it'd be for the better, that way she could click with younger audiences without being solely "heavy ballad" singer. We know that when it's good (I Know What You Want) it pays off big time - that's what got her back to the spotlight in '03, so shouldn't cross out anything just yet.

Who said she's actively turning down collaboration offers from big artists? Her track record as a hook singer isn't exactly great either. Yeah, she had "I Know What You Want" but she's also had a handful of major flops doing hooks. I think a lot of rappers have chosen her to sing the hooks on some really mediocre songs hoping her name would be the selling point, because most of her collaborations have been very disappointing.

It was obvious that Bone Thugs N Harmonie feature wasn't gonna do anything. Even if she flops, all those weird songs get urban airplay she can use. My point is, she's got nothing to lose, so she should feel free to do what she pleases.

Yes, she needs another I Know What You Want at the moment to gain interest in her. Anyway, Lil' LOVE is such a jam! She looks sexy in the music video!

Rihanna actually has a shot at breaking the #1's record, if she keeps going at this rate (or even slows it down a little). If she ever does it would be a sad day for me and for many others I'm sure, but unfortunately it's quite possible since she keeps on releasing new, successful material almost every year. I hope she doesn't do it though

Dang, looks like she's going to miss #1 on iTunes. Hopefully she gets there later with promo and airplay.

Y'all r fools if u really think Mariah woke up and said, "collaborating with Bone Thugs n The Dream on THEIR songs is gonna give me a #1 hit" She did it /does it because she loves what she does and is a fan of those artists. Not because she's after a mega hit.

If it managed to stay #1 for a week, it would mean her getting another #1 on the Digital Songs chart.

She might even get there before Mariah will. Mariah's not getting it so fast either. She's over 40 and if her last album is any indication, her hit making days on top 40 might be over.

Now that's amazing. :)

Also impressive were the Supremes' run of a dozen #1's in 5 years(1964-69).

Even though Lil Wayne had 12 songs charting simutaneously, many were just album tracks, and not actively promotes singles.

Wrong...haters are gonna LOVE...dedicating all of their time, energy, and effort on something they can't change. Teehee... ;) Rihanna actually has a shot at breaking the #1's record, if she keeps going at this rate (or even slows it down a little). If she ever does it would be a sad day for me and for many others I'm sure, but unfortunately it's quite possible since she keeps on releasing new, successful material almost every year. I hope she doesn't do it though I agree...but records are meant to be broken. Her record company will push her to break the record but it is all up to the public. I don't know if she is getting 10 #1s within the next 6 years but I think she can get close to that point in the next 6 years. Mariah will probably aim for number 1's to keep her at bay...not sure if it will work.

Were you referring to me? If so, I really don't get you. Calling people haters for having an opinion on someone?! I love Mariah. I listen to her songs and people laugh at me. I was waiting impatiently for months since the moment she said when her latest is gonna get released. Rihanna? I fucking tweet her all day long to get a reply, and she doesn't even bother, but I love her and her songs. Most of recent times biggest hits belong to her!!! In Beyonce's 4 thread I said that it's a fact that 4 is her worst. I was wrong to say it's a fact but compared to B"day & Sasha that's too Jennifer Hudson of a direction se picked. yet I was called a hater. Once again I get mocked for listening to her. So IF you were referring to me, get your facts straight first, and if you will, let me have an opinion of my own.
