The cover of Rihanna’s new album, ‘Unapologetic’.

The early sales predictions were accurate: Rihanna has scored her first #1 album on the Billboard 200 with her new set, ‘Unapologetic’. Yet, her reign didn’t end there as she also continued to rule the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘Diamonds’, this achieving a truly impress feat.

‘Unapologetic’ entered the Billboard 200 at #1 this week by selling north on 238K copies. As her first chart-leader, the album also earned Rihanna her largest opening figures to date by outselling the 207K debut sum of her previous fastest-seller, ‘Loud’ of 2010.

Over on the Hot 100, Rihanna continued to lead the lineup with her twelfth #1 single, ‘Diamonds’, which first claimed the top slot last week. However, the Roc Nation superstar will need to watch her back because a glitter-wielding wild child, Ke$ha, is slowly approaching the chart summit with her own hit song, ‘Die Young’, which is now positioned at #2.

Back on the Billboard 200, another artist made her mark, although it was greeted with less media fanfare. Keyshia Cole’s ‘Woman to Woman’ pierced the top 10 of the chart at #10 by exceeding sales predictions and selling 96K copies. The LP has become her fifth consecutive top 10 album on the Billboard 200.

Finally, Christina Aguilera’s ‘Lotus’ has fallen out of the Billboard 200 top 10, following an embarrassing dip from #7 to #17. On the bright side, at least her album received a notable mention unlike Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up’, which performed so poorly that the sales have yet to be reported.
