One thing that Bieber has on Rihanna is Twitter followers. He is the most popular person with 40 million followers surpassing Lady Gaga in January.
Rihanna's newest single, "Stay," reached a new milestone for the singer. The song charted at No. 9 on the "Adult Contemporary" chart on Billboard. This marks the first time she has ever made that chart.
The chart she frequents most is the "Pop Hot 100" where she holds a record 10 No. 1 songs , and holds the record for top 10 appearances with 23, and a total of 36 charting.
Rihanna recently made headlines with her latest concert performance where she smacked a fan with a microphone.
The concert was in Birmingham on her Diamonds tour, where the singer came off the stage and sang in front of the crowd while touching a few fans.
However, one of the fans would not let go of the singer, resulting with her swinging the mic off the fans head.
She defended herself later on Instagram saying, "Purpose!!! That b**** won't let me go (sic)."
