Rihanna has 'bagged' her 12th US Number One

  • November 21, 2012
  • Sam Hine

Rihanna has claimed yet another Billboard Hot 100 Number One.

'Diamonds' has moved up into 'pole position' and thus given the 'Willing To Wait' song­stress her twelfth Number One.

This all means that Rihanna is now in joint fourth position with Madonna and The Supremes for the most Number Ones in the history of Billboard's Hot 100, which is quite the impress­ive 'feat'.

In other Billboard-related news, One Direction sold 540,000 copies of 'Take Me Home' to 'score' their second US Number One album, while Christina's warbla­thon 'Lotus' only managed to shift 73,408 copies to land at Number 7.

Poor Christina.
