You knew Rihanna was big in the U.S., but did you know just how loud the 'Loud'-creator is overseas?
The singer has become the very first female to have U.K. No. 1 singles in five consecutive years, as her singles from 'Rude Boy' to 'Only Girl (In The World)' consistently achieved the No. 1 spot every year from 2007 to 2011.
'Cheers,' RiRi!
Right on Rihanna's heels is Lady Gaga, setting her own record for her Monster following and earning the world title for Most Followers on Twitter.
She also reigns with the Most Weeks on the U.S. Hot Digital Songs Chart for 'Poker Face.'
Brit powerhouse Adele set a whopping three new Guinness World Records, as she was named the first female to have two singles and two albums simultaneously in the U.K. Top 5 -- a feat previously only achieved by the Beatles.
Adele's '21' album also established new records for Most Consecutive Weeks with U.K. No. 1 album for a solo female with 11 weeks at the top of the charts, and the Most Cumulative Weeks with U.K. No. 1 album for a solo female after '21' spent a total of 18 weeks at No. 1.
Other World Record Holders Include:
The Black Eyed Peas for the Biggest-Selling Download in the U.K. with 'I Gotta Feeling'
Taylor Swift for Fastest-Selling Digital Album by a female and Most Simultaneous US Hot 100 Hits by a female
10-year-old Willow Smith is officially the Youngest Top 20 Transatlantic Star for 'Whip My Hair'
Justin Bieber boasts the Most Popular Video of Any Kind Online for, of course, 'Baby'
Lil Wayne held it down with Most U.S. Hot 100 Hits by a Rap Artist for a staggering 64 tracks
