"We Found Love" Becomes Rihanna Longest No.1 Single

With an eighth week atop the Billboard Hot 100 for "We Found Love," featuring Calvin Harris, Rihanna links her longest command of the list. 



The song's reign bests the seven-week rules of two of her prior leaders: 2007's "Umbrella," featuring Jay-Z, and last year's "Love the Way You Lie," on which she assisted Eminem. 


"We Found Love" also takes over as the longest-leading No. 1 on the Hot 100 this year (just beating the buzzer, as this week's Billboard charts are dated Dec. 31, 2011). The song had been tied with Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," the year's No. 1 Hot 100 song, for the chart's longest penthouse residence this year.


"Found" remains at No. 1 on the Hot 100 by logging a fifth week atop Radio Songs. On Digital Songs, the track holds at No. 2 for a fourth frame, after five weeks at No. 1, with 149,000 downloads sold.
