Rihanna Notches 25th Hot 100 Top 10 Hit, Matching Elvis Presley

Album sales be damned, Rihanna is still the unapologetic queen of singles — and the Bajan banger, who’s frequently notching esoteric Billboard sales records, has a new feather in her cap: As of this week, with her Eminem collab “The Monster” debuting at No. 3 on the Hot 100, she’s now had 25 Top 10 hits on the Hot 100, tying her with Elvis Presley.

There’s seven artists still ahead of her — Madonna remains queen, with 38 songs on the chart — but it is worth noting that the ratchet queen of pop is several decades younger than the next-youngest person on the list. If she keeps churning out hits with the same breakneck speed, the 25-year-old singer could actually overtake Madonna’s record by age 30. 

See the list of her Top 10-conquering compatriots below.

38, Madonna 34, the Beatles 28, Michael Jackson 28, Stevie Wonder 27, Mariah Carey 27, Janet Jackson 27, Elton John 25, Elvis Presley 25, Rihanna 23, Whitney Houston 23, the Rolling Stones
