The Truth Behind Why Rihanna Dominates Dance Clubs

Rihanna remains second in the record of most No. 1s in the chart's history of more than 40 years. The only artist blocking Rihanna from the top spot is Madonna, having 46 No. 1s. Towards the end of 2016, Rihanna was dubbed No. 3 Dance Club Artist in Billboard's Greatest of All Time during the recap first 40 years of the rankings.

LOTB is Rihanna's first No.1 of 2017. In 2016, she scored 4 No.1s, putting her in the A-list, which she leads. Only three other artists join her in the list. In a January-December span, Lady gaga has done it twice (2009 and 2011), Beyonce (2009) and Katy Perry (2014) each once, but Rihanna is the only one who has earned the honor four times (2007, 2010, 2011, 2016).

Since the birth of the Dance Club Song charts in August 28, 1976 as a national survey, these are the top 15 acts who have tallied the most No. 1s: Madonna (46), Rihanna (28), Beyonce (22), Janet Jackson (19), Mariah Carey (17), Kristine W (16), Jennifer Lopez (16), Katy Perry (16), Donna Summer (15), Lady Gaga (14), Enrique Iglesias (14), Dave Aude (13), Whitney Houston (13), Pitbull (13), Kylie Minogue (13).

The prowess of Rihanna has been proven by her hits. Named as the ultimate 21st century pop star by theundefeated.com, Rihanna has never missed a beat. The mentioned album was 2016's first double platinum project. During that year, 'Work', a single from the same album, stayed as the top song of the country for nine weeks.

Inquisitr.com says that RIhanna is already working on her 9th album, entitled 'R9', with new song ready to hit the charts.
