Media Claims Rihanna Equals Elvis UK Chart Record

[Brian Quinn]

Worldwide Media reports that Rihanna has tied a chart record set by Elvis after hitting the top of the pop charts in Britain again.
With her hit, "What's My Name," it states Rihanna has become the first female solo artist in UK history to achieve five number one singles for five years in a row and ties with Elvis. She may have been the first female solo act to have No.1's in 5 consecutive years but has NOT equalled Elvis' record.

Elvis had fourteen No.1's in 7 consecutive years (not 5 as claimed for Rihanna) as follows:
1. All Shook Up (1957)
2. Jailhouse Rock (1958)
3. One Night/I Got Stung (1959)
4. A Fool Such As I/I Need Your Love Tonight (1959)
5. It's Now Or Never (1960)
6. Are You Lonesome Tonight (1961)
7. Wooden Heart (1961)
8. Surrender (1961)
9. His Latest Flame/Little Sister (1961)
10. Rock A Hula Baby/Can't Help falling In Love (1962)
11. Good Luck Charm (1962)
12. She's Not You (1962)
13. Return To Sender (1962)
14. Devil In Disguise (1963).

Just shows how the media are trying to boost other artist's careers at the expense of giving out false information.

while they aren't truthful about the charts and sales - they do emphasize one underlying truth - Even 30+ years after his death, Elvis remains the artist to beat.
