Rhianna Clinches Rare Billboard Achievement As Single “What’s My Name” Jumps 59 Spots To #1

Rihanna has clinched a rare Billboard Hot 100 chart achievement, as “What’s My Name” made the jump to #1 (a 59-point leap from #60-bullet last week) to become her eighth #1 single. Meanwhile, “Only Girl (In the World)” is still ranked at #4. Rihanna’s Top 5 duo of “What’s My Name” and “Only Girl (In the World)” puts her in the rare spot of acts who have managed two Top 5 singles at once.

Both songs are from Rihanna's new album, Loud, which drops on November 16. "Rihanna is a true original, a gifted hitmaker, with a style and a musical flair all her own," said Island Def Jam Music Group Chairman L.A. Reid. "In our collaborations on this project, we really honed in on songs and expressions that would bring out the best in her already incredible gift. So I am especially proud of this project, as I feel it perhaps best captures the spirit and essence of Rihanna."

The singer also will open this year’s 38th annual American Music Awards on November 21.
