Robyn Rihanna Fenty

On January 9, 2011, "What's My Name?" hit the top spot on the official UK singles chart, giving Rihanna the record of being the first female solo artist to have 5 number one singles in the UK in consecutive years. In 2007, "Umbrella" gave Rihanna her first UK number one single; in 2008, "Take A Bow" gave her her second; in 2009, "Run This Town" was the third; in 2010, "Only Girl (In the World)" gave her her fourth UK number one single. In April 2011 Rihanna earned another milestone when her song S&M reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her 10th number one single in the United States and she became the youngest artist in the charts' 52 year history to do so and in the shortest amount of time, topping Mariah Carey's previous record.
Rihanna will embark on her fourth concert tour, the Loud Tour, later this year, in support of the album.
On February 20, 2011, the day of her 23rd birthday, she performed on the 2011 NBA All-Star Game halftime show, held at Staples Center, in LA.
