Each and every week, Rihanna scores multiple hits that appear on Billboard‘s worldwide tallies, the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. The first of those two ranks the most popular tracks all around the planet, while the latter is nearly identical, except any form of consumption via Americans is left out entirely. Multiple career-defining wins by the Barbadian pop and R&B icon make homes on the rosters this frame, with one climbing to a new all-time peak.
Rihanna Sends “Don’t Stop the Music” to a New Peak
Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music” only steps up two spaces on the Billboard Global 200, but that is an important ascent. “Don’t Stop the Music,” one of the singles from her hugely successful album Good Girl Gone Bad, reaches No. 132, which now stands as its most impressive placement on the list.
“Don’t Stop the Music” Ties “S&M” and “Born Again”
Of the 19 tracks that Rihanna has pushed to the Billboard Global 200, “Don’t Stop the Music” ranks as her fourteenth-highest-rising. Coincidentally, it is now tied with both “S&M” and “Born Again,” which similarly topped out at No. 132. “Don’t Stop the Music” has lived on the list for 16 frames, while both “S&M” and “Born Again” debuted and then disappeared and have yet to return.
“Don’t Stop the Music” Holds Steady on Another List
As “Don’t Stop the Music” establishes a new high on the Billboard Global 200, it holds at its loftiest position on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. The dance floor filler is steady at No. 149, a slot it reached just last week.
Rihanna Returns With “Umbrella” and “Love the Way You Lie”
At the same time that “Don’t Stop the Music” climbs to an exciting new peak position, two classics by Rihanna become worldwide wins once more. “Love the Way You Lie,” one of several collaborations with Eminem, reenters the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. at No. 175. “Umbrella” is back at No. 196 on the Billboard Global 200 after not making it to that register only a few days ago.
Rihanna Charts Seven Singles in Total
A total of seven singles by Rihanna appear on at least one of the two rosters, and three of them occupy space on both at the same time. “Don’t Stop the Music” is the highest-ranking of that trio. “We Found Love” dips to No. 170 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and No. 195 on the Billboard Global 200. That cut, a team up with electronic dance producer Calvin Harris, lands one space above where “Umbrella” returns. That latter Grammy-winning smash lifts from No. 197 to No. 183 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S.
“Kiss It Better,” “Only Girl (In the World)” and “S&M”
“Kiss It Better” is Rihanna’s only track to make space solely on the Billboard Global 200, where it slips from No. 176 to No. 193. Joining “Love the Way You Lie” on only the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. are “Only Girl (In the World)” and “S&M.” Those Loud-era favorites currently settle at Nos. 186 and 200, respectively.
Rihanna Only Appears in America on the Dance Chart
Of all of the tunes by Rihanna that appear on any Billboard chart, “Don’t Stop the Music” is the only one to carve out space on a list that focuses entirely on American listening habits. The cut climbs ever so slightly, just one space, to No. 9 on the Dance Streaming Songs chart, which looks at the most-played dance compositions in the U.S. on platforms like Spotify.
