Rihanna makes British chart history


Singer has number one singles in five consecutive years to equal feat of Elvis Presley



Rihanna has become the first female solo artist in British chart history to achieve No.1 singles in five consecutive years.
The Official Charts Company announced her record after 'What's My Name?' rose from number two to the top spot. The last solo artist to achieve the feat was Elvis Presley, who had number ones in each year from 1957 to 1963.
Rihanna's album 'Loud' also holds on to its number one slot, giving her the second UK chart double of her career. The 22-year-old Barbadian singer has sold more than 15 million albums and 45 million singles worldwide.
In 2007, her album 'Good Girl Gone Bad' and single 'Umbrella' topped both charts simultaneously.
The 22-year-old singer knocked X Factor champion Matt Cardle's "When We Collide" from the top spot to number two after three weeks at number one.

Rihanna has this week been filming the music video for her upcoming single with Nicki Minaj called 'Fly'.
