Last year, Rihanna matched Whitney Houston’s tally of 11 #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and now she is inching closer to equalling another of the late diva’s feats. Indeed, Rihanna is just a single song away from tying Houston’s total number of top 10 tunes on the chart.
Adele ’21′ was released in February 2011 in the US but the album is still maintaining its sales momentum. In fact, after 66 weeks on the Billboard 200, the record has still managed to chart in the top 3 of the lineup!
