Rihanna sets UK chart record
R&B singer Rihanna took the British pop music charts by storm this week with a number one single, album and two other songs in the charts.
And the Official Charts Company has confirmed the Barbadian singer is the first female solo artist in UK chart history to achieve five number one singles in consecutive years with What's My Name.
The only other solo artist to equal this achievement was Elvis Presley in the 1950s, the charts company said.
Rihanna, 22, knocked X Factor champion Matt Cardle's When We Collide from the top spot on the singles chart to number two.
Her album, Loud, held its number one slot, beating off competition from British rapper Plan B's The Defamation Of Strickland Banks.
