Rap-Up.com || Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love’ Becomes Her Biggest Hit

Rihanna received an early Christmas present this year. The pop superstar’s dance smash “We Found Love” has become her biggest hit yet, remaining at No. 1 for an eighth consecutive week on the singles chart.

The Calvin Harris production surpasses 2007’s “Umbrella” and her collaboration with Eminem, “Love the Way You Lie,” which both topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks straight.

RiRi took to Twitter to celebrate the big news. “#WFL is still at #1 on BBHot100 for an 8th week, making it our biggest record to date! Who knew we wud beat LTWYL r UMBRELLA? #MAJAH #TTT,” she wrote.

@EL, I still think “Umbrella” will be her most memorable hit though. That was the song that really made her a star.

@Triniti, Just cause you’re number #1 doesn’t mean your music is a masterpiece. This girl could breath on a track and it would go number #1. That ain’t necessarily a bad thing though. She’s on top of her game. I can’t hate.

However its bitter sweet. WFL is the most commercial song she has ever released. I miss Good Girl Gone Bad Rihanna. I love Ri but she has sold out.

WoW! Can’t believe it beat out Umbrella! I do love We Found Love. Definitely one of her best. I think Where Have You Been should be her next single after You Da One.

Good for her. I remember when this song first came out I didn’t really like it but it really grew on me. I think the video helped push it to the top too. Great storyline. Am I the only one who’s pretty shocked at the way “Talk That Talk” is performing on the charts? I mean, #1 song for 8 weeks and her album slipped out of the top 10 after like 3 weeks. Her singles and album sales NEVER match up. I think her fan base consists of mostly younger kids who don’t know what buying a full album means. Kinda sad.

@Audrey Hepburn, Her Touring has flopped, her CD has flopped, her singles are falling, and she is a LIAR. Her reign has been dethroned by Willow Smith.

@unknow, Thank you. It’s only the US that still hasn’t really clocked on regarding her albums. They eventually do as always and another platinum selling album is on the way for her.

Proud of her, I just dislike this song. I would say Umbrella or Take A Bow are the most memorable #1′s from her.
