Congratulations are in order for Kelly Rowland! Her latest single, “Motivation,” has reached number one on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop chart. The song has been climbing the charts for 10 weeks since its debut and has become Kelly’s best-performing solo hit to date.

“Motivation,” featuring Lil Wayne, is Kelly’s second number one single, with the first being her 2009 dance hit, “When Love Takes Over.” Kelly’s album, “Here I Am,” will be released later this year.

Kelly’s bestie, LaLa Vasquez, updated her Twitter status, proclaiming, “At the Shape Magazine Shoot w/ @KellyRowland. [Her] single Motivation just went #1 on Billboard!! We r in here JUMPING around! This is BIG!”

It sure is! Congrats again, Kelly!
