I would say Fergie, she was the best selling with over 10m.

I think it's Rihanna:

I think Fergie would have the better average though.

Artists with most No. 1 songs (Not including featured acts)
1. Rihanna (4 songs)
2. Justin Timberlake (3 songs)
3. Fergie (3 songs)
4. Beyoncé (3 songs)
5. Mariah Carey (3 songs)

Artists with most weeks at No. 1 (Not including featured acts)
1. Rihanna (15 weeks)
2. Flo Rida (13 weeks)
3. Kanye West (11 weeks)

Thanks for compiling this!

However, while I think separating out the non-featured acts is worthwhile, BB always counts them as included in their totals. Also, in your artists with most #1s, they'd really be tied for #2, not 2, 3, 4, 5.

If you include featured artists (as Billboard does), you get these results (including Give it To Me as "Timbaland featuring Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado" as I believe it was credited on the charts):

Most #1 singles:
1. Justin Timberlake (5)
2. Rihanna (4)
3. Mariah Carey (3)
3. Beyonce (3)
3. Timbaland (3)
3. Fergie (3)
3. Akon (3)

Most weeks at #1:
1. Rihanna (15)
1. T-Pain (15)
3. Flo Rida (13)
4. Justin Timberlake (12)
5. Kanye West (11)

i think it must be Rihanna.
and surely Disturbia will put any debate to rest.

Actually, DFAU has a very poor sales in it's entire chart run, especially if you consider it was a massive airplay hit.

A few years ago the #1 song barely reached 50k and today #1 songs sell easily over 200k. Amazing.

Almost everyone I know has an MP3 or iPod. ;)
