Rihanna Beats Madonna's US Chart Record With New Single 'We Found Love'

Rihanna has broke a US chart record previously held by Madonna with new single 'We Found Love'.

The singer's new Calvin Harris-produced single is currently at number nine in the US Hot 100 chart, making it her 20th hit to reach the Top-Ten.

Rihanna's latest chart entry has now made her the fastest solo artist in history to achieve 20 Top 10 singles on the Billboard chart.

Madonna previously held the record, with 'Lucky Star' entering the US Top-Ten in 1984 and her 20th track being 'Hanky Panky' in 1990.

Meanwhile, Rihanna kicked off her record-breaking run of gigs at the O2 Arena in London on last night (October 5).

The singer, who will play a total of ten shows at the venue before the end of the year, delighted fans with a colourful stage show at what was also the first night of the UK leg of her Loud tour.
