As reported by The BoomBox, just two months after the release of her sixth album, 'Talk That Talk,' Rihanna celebrates a new victory with the lead single from the effort. 'We Found Love,' her Calvin Harris-produced smash, is her biggest chart-topper to date.

The track has landed at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for eight consecutive weeks. 'We Found Love' beats both of her highly lauded singles 'Umbrella,' off 2007's 'Good Girl Gone Bad' LP, and 'Love the Way You Lie,' featured on Eminem's 'Recovery' album. The songs made their way to the top of the singles for seven weeks total, falling one week short of the 'We Found Love' accolade.

Rihanna expressed her excitement over the record's success via Twitter. "#WFL is still at #1 on BBHot100 for an 8th week, making it our biggest record to date! Who knew we wud beat LTWYL r UMBRELLA? #MAJAH #TTT," she tweeted.

Up next for the songstress, she'll unveil the visuals for her Melina-directed clip 'You Da One,' which is set to premiere later this week.
