Eminem-Rihanna Collab Leads Billboard Singles Chart for Fifth Week

I read the online news story this week called "Eminem-Rihanna Collab Leads Billboard Singles Chart for Fifth Week" which was published on 19 August 2010 on EW.COM. The story was posted by Brad Wete. You can read it here.

You can watch the Video about "Love the Way You Lie" here.

With regard of content and structure, the story shows that Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie" featuring Rihanna leads the Hot 100 singles chart again at the beginning. Then, it illustrates other singers and their songs from Top2 to Top10 in Billboard singles chart. Also, it points out the changes of the rank. This is simple story. However, one thing to be mentioned is that the story used a rhetoric question and an answer –"Looking for some major shake-ups on the music charts? Sorry to disappoint…"at the beginning. In this way, the fans can understand the approximate situation about the rank. Of course, this writing approach is able to strengthen the theme– Eminem-Rihanna collab leads Billboard singles chart yet again.

In the matter of values, the story has timeliness to some extent, because it can leads music lovers to grasp the trend of popular music immediately. Also, it has reliability and authenticity, because the content of story is the result of the Billboard singles chart. But the impact of the storymay not be very wide. I think that only music lovers and Eminem's or Rihanna's fans may concern about it.

Lastly, the online page has the main story, a photo and  message area. It does not include related links which can help readers to find more information. If the story had some links about the mentioned songs, readers could listen them and give their comment in the message area.

In conclusion, I think the story may help music lovers to catch the trend of the popular music immediately.
