Although rapper Eminem dominated the Billboard charts this week with his ground-breaking new single, “The Monster,” he wasn’t the only artist on the record who made the history books. This time, it was actually the featured artist on the record who made the historic headlines when the song topped the charts. The featured artist is none other than Barbadian singer, Rihanna.

Rihanna ended up making it to the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the 25th time when the record landed in the No. 3 slot on the charts this week. According to Billboard.com, Rihanna is tied with Elvis Presley at number 25 on the the list for ‘The Most Hot 100 Top 10s.’
