Payola & Chart Rigging: Part Deux

More to come on this issue... We have Rihanna's record label attempting to buy another Hot 100 number one hit with her current single, "Take A Bow." It's quite distressing that a respected publication such as Billboard would make itself so subject to this sort of manipulation. For all intents and purposes, there are some weeks (Leona Lewis' current and legitimate #1 hit "Bleeding Love" not withstanding) where the song purported to be the #1 hit on the chart is in fact not even close to that.
