Rihanna logs a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "We Found Love" (featuring Calvin Harris), which scores Airplay Gainer honors for a second consecutive week.

Continuing her rapid-fire release schedule, Rihanna will reportedly unveil the second single from her forthcoming album "Talk That Talk" on Friday (Nov. 11), just as "We Found Love" stays strong at the top of the Hot 100.

"You da One" will officially be posted on the pop star's Facebook page on Friday, 10 days before "Talk That Talk," her sixth studio album, is released on Nov. 21, according to MTV. The Dr. Luke-produced track is the first song on the full-length, according to a track list Rihanna posted online on Tuesday.

In other "Talk That Talk" news, Rihanna has apparently sampled indie-rock darlings the xx on the album track "Drunk on Love." Check out a 30-second clip of the song, which reworks the group's "Intro" from their 2009 self-titled debut album (via Popjustice):

 

 

"Talk That Talk" will arrive in stores 1 year and nine days after the release of Rihanna's last album, "Loud," which spawned the hits "Only Girl (In the World)," "S&M" and "What's My Name." For Rihanna fanatics who can't wait until Nov. 21, the pop star is also featured on Coldplay's "Mylo Xyloto" track "Princess of China," as well as "Take Care," the title track of Drake's sophomore album, out Nov. 15.
