Rihanna's well-timed "Work" video now plays as a victory lap: shortly after the clip arrived, Billboard officially announced that the singer's latest single jumped from No. 4 to No. 1 on the Hot 100, dethroning Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself." 14 Rihanna tunes have now reached the summit of the Hot 100. Only Mariah Carey (18 No. 1's) and the Beatles (20) have released more chart-toppers. On Twitter, Rihanna thanked her fans: "Navy you killed it this week!"

Drake, who is featured on "Work," earned the second No. 1 of his career. Both of his trips to the top have come via guest verses on Rihanna tracks. Revisit the "Work" video.
