Singer Rihanna Crowned Queen Of The Charts
Rihanna is queen of the pop charts this week, with the number one album, number one single and two other songs in the top ten.
The 22-year-old is also re-writing the record books, as her fifth number one makes her the first female solo artist in chart history to achieve five number one singles in successive years, according to the Official Charts Company. The only other solo artist to equal the success was Elvis Presley in the 1950s.
Her Album "Loud" held on to its number one slot thrashing off competition from British rapper Plan B's "The Defamation of Strickland Banks" which had been ahead in the race for pole position last week.
