Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love’ has clocked a 6th week atop the Billboard Hot 100 and increased her cumulative career total  time at the top to 40 weeks yet it was her mentor who achieved a historic feat on the tally. Jay-Z has achieved his 18th top 10 single on the lineup – the most for any rapper.

Jay-Z’s ‘N*ggas in Paris’ – his collaboration with Kanye West from their platinum-certified ‘Watch the Throne’ album – advanced from #15 to #8 on the Hot 100 and became his 18th top 10 hit. This accomplishment has given him the boost to surpass the 17-song totals of Ludacris and Lil Wayne. Furthermore, the track has been registered as West’s 14th top 10 entry.

Over on the Billboard 200, Adele’s ’21′ has reentered the top 5 at #2 after selling 144K copies during the last week. Furthermore, Mary J. Blige’s ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act 1)’ has leapfrogged and Rihanna’s ‘Talk That Talk’. The record slipped to #6 on the chart by selling 72K copies but still outperformed ‘Talk That Talk’, which only sold 68K units at #7.
