Rihanna Mines A Gem Of A Hit With 'Diamonds' November 24, 2012 Rihanna is giving new meaning to the term "rock era." As "Diamonds" reaches the top of the Billboard Hot 100, the song joins the list of geologically-inclined No. 1s in the chart's 54-year history. With "Diamonds," Rihanna's 12th Hot 100 leader, taking its place at the summit, here's an updated look at rock- and gemstone-related No. 1 titles in the chart's archives…… "Rock"-music aside, Rihanna continues her quest toward the most No. 1s in the Hot 100's history. Now with 12, she's within eight of the act with the most leaders, the Beatles... originally known as, of course, the Quarrymen. ALWAYS LOVED: Rihanna passes Whitney Houston for the fourth-most Hot 100 No. 1s (12 vs. 11) but the late latter star's Billboard album chart discography notably expands. Houston's second greatest hits album, "I Will Always Love You: The Best of Whitney Houston," debuts at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The set is Houston's first compilation to include all 11 of her Hot 100 No. 1s in their familiar hit versions. Her only other U.S.-released best-of set, "Whitney: The Greatest Hits," offered many of her ballads but featured remixes of her uptempo singles in place of their better-known original versions. That album debuted at No. 5 the week of June 3, 2000. It reached a new peak of No. 2 for three weeks earlier this year following her passing on Feb. 11. http://www.billboard.com/ --
