[Source: NME.com] Rihanna has equalled a chart record set by Elvis Presley by scoring five UK Number One singles in consecutive years.

The Barbadian singer hit the top spot with 'What's My Name' tonight (January 9) to become the only female solo artist in UK chart history to achieve the feat.

The track, which features Drake, follows the chart-topping success of 'Only Girl (In The World)' (2010), 'Run This Town' (2009), 'Take A Bow' (2008) and 'Umbrella' (2007).

In a remarkable week for the singer, 'Only Girl (In The World)' stayed in the Top Ten, moving down to Number Nine, while 'Who's That Chick?', her collaboration with David Guetta, was at Number 10. 

She also remained on top of the albums chart with 'Loud'.
