Rihanna “Works”- Her Way to Another No. 1 Hit—and Surpasses Michael Jackson

By -

Rihanna has had to put it mildly, an up-and-down few weeks. Her highly, highly-anticipated eighth album, Anti , debuted a few weeks ago in . . . somewhat haphazard fashion, getting leaked, and then, ultimately, posted on Tidal, where it was given away for free thanks to a deal with Samsung. The album eventually hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts, after its first full week out on the market. So, things were, momentarily, looking sunnier. But then Rihanna cancelled her Grammys performance last-minute (due to bronchitis) and also postponed the first eight dates of her forthcoming Anti World Tour (due to . . . it’s not quite clear).
After that period of cloudy skies, though, things are looking up again for the pop star. She turned 28 on Saturday, celebrating in characteristic Rihanna fashion , and then, today, dropped the video for her first single, “Work,” which is a two-for-one deal, in which, in the first video, she and Drake dance provocatively in a dancehall club . . . and, in the second, she and Drake dance provocatively . . . in a private room. And it’s a fitting day for the clip to debut, as Billboard announced today the song has
reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 , making it the 14th song of Rihanna’s to climb to the top. This puts the superstar past Michael Jackson, leaving her shy only of the Beatles (20), Elvis Presley (18), and Mariah Carey (18). So, Rihanna needs seven more No. 1 hits over the rest of her career to reach the top, which seems pretty possible.

Dancehall king, Shatta Wale has acknowledged that he is blessed beyond measure but says only Angel Daniel Obinim and a few pastors can explain the kind of blessings he has received from God. Ever since Shatta Wale rebranded from Bandana to his present brand, everything the artiste has touched and brought has turned to gold. He has been consistent in the music industry for over three years. Shatta Wale who is religious when he is in his studio but wild when industry players take him for a ride use any opportunity that comes his way to give thanks to God for his mercies. Well, in a post on Facebook, the artiste has sang the praises of Angel Daniel Obinim, leader of International God’s Way church and a man frequently embroiled in several controversies saying he is the only pastor who can explain how great the Lord has blessed him as an artiste. He said:” Only Bishop Obinim and few men of God can explain how great the Lord has blessed me..God bless you daddy.Good morning”. Source: my
