When Rihanna met Calvin, plus more “Love” songs that dominated the charts, on the Pop Shop Podcast.

Are you in the mood for "Love"? Well, Valentine's Day is fast approaching on Friday, so the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast team thought we would count down the top 10 biggest "Love" songs ever — the tunes that have the word "Love" right there in the title — on the Billboard Hot 100.

The results range from 1976 to 2011 and were all No. 1 hits on the chart. While you'll have to listen to the episode (below) to hear the full top 10 countdown, there's a hint right there in the photo of Rihanna and Calvin Harris at the top of this article.

And finally, we have a very active top 10 on this week's Billboard 200 albums chart, from Lil Wayne's No. 1 debut with Funeral to Louis Tomlinson bringing the revamped Arista label back to the top tier with Walls.
