Posted December 8, 201014 yr "This gives Rihanna the distinction of having credits on three singles simultaneously in the Top 10, a feat achieved previously by only other three acts in chart history" In light of Rihanna's 'achievement' -

December 8, 201014 yr This is very interesting but I don't see three acts that have had three songs in the top 10, I only see John & Yoko. Edited December 8, 201014 yr by Marina Hurts
December 8, 201014 yr "This gives Rihanna the distinction of having credits on three singles simultaneously in the Top 10, a feat achieved previously by only other three acts in chart history" Seanster - the source is wrong, anyhow:, Rihanna is the 6th Act to achieve it:, 1) Vera Lynn (1 Week - In the very first UK Singles Chart - W/E 15th November 1952) 2) Frankie Laine (For 8 Weeks in 1953 - 4 Top 10 Hits for 3 of those 8 Weeks) 3) Ruby Murray (For 4 Weeks in 1955) 4) The Shadows (For 1 Week in 1960) 5) John Lennon (For 5 Weeks between December 1980 & January 1981) 6) Rihanna (2010)
