Congratulations to WESTBURY ROAD/ROC NATION artist RIHANNA, who joins an elite club by scoring her third top 10 hit on the BILLBOARD 100 chart, as "Love On The Brain" moves 13-8.  RIHANNA joins MADONNA (38) and THE BEATLES (34) as the only acts with at least 30 Hot 100 Top 10s, breaking a tie with MICHAEL JACKSON, who had 29.

RIHANNA achieves the second-fastest accumulation of 30 Hot 100 Top 10s.  Having first hit the Top 10 with "Pon De Replay," she needed 10 years, seven months and two weeks to tally 30 Top 10s. Only THE BEATLES hit the landmark more quickly, from "I Want to Hold Your Hand" to "Something," over a span of just five years, nine months and two weeks.

Props to RICK SACKHEIM, NICKI FARAG, KEITH ROTHSCHILD, and everyone on the DEF JAM team who have planed an instrumental role in helping RIHANNA achieve this milestone.
