Rihanna breaks chart record
Rihanna has broken a chart record after she held on to her number one spot for a tenth consecutive week yesterday with single 'Umbrella'.

The song is now the longest running chart topper this century and the longest running number one since Wet, Wet, Wet released 'Love Is All Around' in 1994.

Rihanna is one of only seven acts to reach that record for that length of time.

The longest-running song ever was Bryan Adams' 'Everything I Do (I Do It For You)', which stayed at the top of the charts for 16 weeks in 1991.
