It's a happy new year for Eminem and Rihanna. The duo's second collaborative track "The Monster" stays atop the Billboard Hot 100 for a fourth week, helping Rihanna break yet another record on the chart service.
According to Billboard, "The Monster" topping the chart for a fourth straight week gives Rihanna 51 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, placing her at the third-most amount of time spent at the chart's summit. Rihanna zoomed past Boyz II Men, who spent 50 weeks at No. 1 in total. Only Mariah Carey (79 weeks) and the Beatles (59 weeks) have bested Rihanna.
"The Monster" is Rihanna's 13th Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 and Eminem's fifth.
The top three on the Hot 100 remain the same as last week, with Pitbull and Ke$ha's "Timber" at the No. 2 spot for a fourth week and OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" holding strong for rock music at No. 3. "Timber" topped in digital sales but falls on Streaming Songs and Radio Songs charts, leading to it being unable to beat "The Monster."
Lorde's nine-week No. 1 track "Royals" swapped places with A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera's "Say Something," and now the tracks sit at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively.
In a continually stagnant chart week, Imagine Dragons' "Demons" sits at No. 6 and Passenger's "Let Her Go" stays at No. 7.
A little shake up happened in the top 10, as Katy Perry's first Prism single "Roar" returns to the No. 8 spot. According to Billboard, the song received a notable boost in radio airplay, likely due to year-end countdowns. However, the difference was enough to launch Perry back into the top 10, beating her next two Prism singles "Unconditionally" and "Dark Horse" for yet another frame.
One Direction continue to have a shiny new year with "Story of my Life," which rose one spot to No. 9. Avicii's country/EDM hybride "Wake Me Up!" rounds out the top 10.
Meanwhile, that means Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" has finally fallen out of the top spots of the Hot 100.
