RIHANNA'S #1 AND THE
BIBLE'S BUMBLE

As we mentioned earlier, Rihanna's ANTI is headed for the top spot on the HITS sales and SPS charts, dethroning Adele, and the Westbury Road/Roc Nation superstar's lead single "Work" is gigantic at radio (closing out the Rhythm panel, a rare feat) and iTunes.

While the leak of RiRi's album ahead of street date caused the Industry Bible to put her on its chart early (at #27), it's worth noting that Team Janice certainly has discretion in such cases, and might have looked the other way for a major artist who's one of the biggest brands in the biz. It's further confirmation that the Bible bunch have virtually no grasp on the nuances of the music industry.

Their coverage of the sexiest sweatpants and nastiest Twitter feuds, however, is above reproach.
