The pop music industry is slowly lurching back into activity after the holidays. The biggest story this week is clearly Rihanna who earns her fifth #1 in the UK with "What's My Name" and with her David Guetta collaboration "Who's That Chick?" re-entering the top 10, she once again has three singles in the top 10 this week. Jessie J rides winning the 'BBC Sounds of 2011' poll to a top 5 placing for her "Do It Like a Dude" single.

It is another week of no significant new releases which allows Rihanna to hold on to a second week at the top and rule both album and singles charts. Plan B rises one more notch to sit comfortably at #2 eight months after the initial release of The Defamation Of Strickland Banks.
