|  During the summer, Rihanna collaborated with rapper Eminem on "Love the Way You Lie", which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as other countries including Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden.[81] The song became Rihanna's seventh number one hit single on the Hot 100 of her career, making her the female artist with the fifth-most number ones in the chart's history.[12] In August, 2010, a wax figure of Rihanna was unveiled in Madame Tussauds in Washington D.C.[82] Rihanna was asked by Kanye West in or around August 2010 to contribute to "All of the Lights", the fifth track from West's fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. In an interview with MTV News, Rihanna stated that she "loved" the song, which also features several other artists, including but not limited to Alicia Keys, John Legend, Fergie and Elton John.[83] On October 19, 2010, Rihanna released a self-titled book,[84] and is currently working on Peter Berg's film, Battleship, scheduled for release in 2012.[85] On October 20, 2010, Rihanna announced that she was parting ways with manager Marc Jordan and will henceforth be managed by Jay-Z's Roc Nation Management.[2] She is also starting her own company, Rihanna Entertainment, in which she will "merge all of her businesses including music, film, fragrance, fashion and book ventures".[2]
Rihanna released her fifth studio album, Loud, on November 16, 2010.[86] The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, selling 207,000 copies in its first week, becoming the fifth top-ten album of Rihanna's career in the US, with her best week of sales.[87] Its lead single, "Only Girl (In the World)", was digitally released in the United States in September 2010.[88][89] After many weeks, the song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. "Only Girl" also reached number one in many other countries including Australia, Canada, and the UK.[90][91][92] Later the song won a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording at the 53rd Grammy Awards.[93] The album's second single, "What's My Name?", featuring rapper Drake, also reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.[94] Although it was the second single from Loud, it reached the top spot before the first single, "Only Girl (In the World)" making it the first time in Hot 100 history that an album's debut single reached number one after the second single.[95]
On December 5, 2010, Rihanna had three songs in the top ten on the UK singles chart with "Only Girl (In The World)" at number seven, "What's My Name?" at number eight, and the David Guetta single "Who's That Chick?" at number nine.[96] On January 9, 2011, the same three songs were in the top ten on the UK singles chart with "What's My Name?" at number one, "Only Girl (In The World)" at number nine, and the David Guetta single "Who's That Chick?" at number ten.[97]
On January 9, 2011, "What's My Name?" hit the top spot on the official UK singles chart, giving Rihanna the record of being the first female solo artist to have 5 number one singles in the UK in consecutive years. In 2007, "Umbrella" gave Rihanna her first UK number one single; in 2008, "Take A Bow" gave her her second; in 2009, "Run This Town" was the third; in 2010, "Only Girl (In the World)" gave her her fourth UK number one single.[98]
Rihanna will embark on her fourth concert tour, the Loud Tour, later this year, in support of the album.[99][100][101]
On February 20, 2011, the day of her 23rd birthday, she performed on the 2011 NBA All-Star Game halftime show, held at Staples Center, in LA.[102][103] | |
