Rihanna is quickly gaining momentum on the pop charts, while at the same time boosting ratings for ABC and its primetime player 20/20.
"Russian Roulette," the entertainer's first official single to be released from "Rated R," moved 13 spots (36-23) on the Pop Songs chart just hours before a primetime interview airing on ABC Friday.
A reported 8.2 million watched as Rihanna sat down with Diane Sawyer on ABC's '20/20' to discuss everything from a troublesome childhood to the night that changed both her and Chris Brown's lives forever.
The strongest ratings for '20/20' this season, Rihanna's interview also ranked high among viewers between the ages 18-34.
ABC's relationship with Rihanna is far from over as the entertainer is due to appear on the network hosted American Music Awards November 22.
In other news, Rihanna has received criticism for the 20/20 interview and publicity surrounding it (including a feature in Glamour's 'Women of the Year' issue). Reportedly slammed for attempting to use her 'incident' with Chris Brown to promote the forthcoming release "Rated R," some observers say Rihanna is not sincere when it comes to helping young women (more on that story here....)
