Rihanna now has more top 10 singles than Michael Jackson

Rihanna has the third-most top 10 hits now, trailing Madonna at 38, and The Beatles at 34.

It seems like only yesterday that radio DJs everywhere were forced to say ‘Pon De Replay’ after a 17-year-old with a great voice stormed charts everywhere. Little did we know that song was the first of 30 American top 10 hits the artist would score – a milestone she hit this week as he surpasses Michael Jackson’s 29 top 10 singles.

She has the third-most top 10 hits now, trailing Madonna at 38, and The Beatles at 34.

Considering Rihanna turned 29 a few days ago, it’s safe to say that if she keep anywhere near this rate, she’ll topple those two before too long.
