Rihanna tops UK charts

Pop star Rihanna has topped both the album and singles chart in the UK.
Talk That Talk, her sixth album, took the top spot in one of the busiest weeks for new releases this year.
Meanwhile, her single We Found Love racked up six weeks at number one, fighting off competition from X Factor stars Olly Murs and Kelly Rowland.
Rihanna scored a further three singles in the top 40, with new album tracks securing chart places alongside her duet with R&B star Drake, Take Care.
The 23-year-old also looks set to have the number one album in the US this week.
Her success cements her position as one of the top female artists in the recording industry, having sold more than 20 million albums in total.
This comes despite – or perhaps because of – her tendency towards lewd lyrics and provocative videos, which have often landed her in trouble with censors.
Born in Barbados in 1988, the singer has rarely been out of the charts since her debut single Pon De Replay in 2005.
She won her first Brit award, for best international female, this year and is currently in the middle of a 10-night run at London’s O2 arena.
