In addition, "Only Girl" becomes Rihanna's ninth number one hit overall. She's now scored the most number ones of any artist since the year 2000.
Additionally, this marks the first time in the history of the Hot 100 that an album's lead single has hit number one after the second single has already done so. Rihanna's "What's My Name" overtook "Only Girl" to land the top spot a couple weeks ago.
Meanwhile, Rihanna's new CD Loud enters the Billboard chart at number three, with first-week sales of 207,000 copies, according to Nielsen Soundscan. That's the most any of her albums have sold in a single week. Loud is Rihanna's fifth top 10 album -- all her previous albums have reached the top 10, as well.
