Rihanna has achieved something that no female singer but Whitney Houston has accomplished.

No, not watching Bobby Brown drive your spectacular career down in flames in the carpool lane.

Rihanna's "Umbrella" was the No. 1 single in the UK last week, making the song the UK's longest-running No. 1 single since Wet Wet Wet's "Love Is All Around" spent 15 weeks at the top in 1994. Houston's "I Will Always Love You" spent 10 weeks at No. 1 in 1992.

"Umbrella" stayed ahead of Kate Nash's "Foundations" and Timbaland's "The Way I Are" featuring Keri Hilson, which grabbed the No. 2 and No. 3 spots on the chart, respectively. "Umbrella" only sold 131 copies more than "Foundations."

Frankie Laine's "I Believe" holds the record for the longest run at number one, with 18 weeks on top in 1953.
