Rihanna's latest single, Take a Bow, has become her third number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in America. It is the second single with the same name to top the Billboard Hot 100 after Madonna's 1995 ballad Take a Bow.
Take a Bow was written by R&B singer-songwriter Ne-Yo and production-team Stargate for the re-release of Rihanna's third studio album Good Girl Gone Bad. It was officially released to US top 40 radio on April 15 and to iTunes on May 6 where it has proven to be immensely popular both in the United States and internationally.
To date, the single has reached the number one position on iTunes in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Ireland, and has achieved top 10 chartings in ten countries across the globe. The single is currently number one on the UK Singles chart.
Rihanna's hit streak kicked off in 2005 with the catchy and bouncy Pon De Replay. She later followed up with hits including If Its Loving That You Want, Unfaithful, We Ride, Don't Stop the Music, Shut Up and Drive and Break it Off. Her number one Hot 100 hits include SOS and Umbrella featuring Jay-Z. Umbrella won the Grammy Award this year for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
