"What's My Name?" is LOUD's second single. Rihanna played the record to Drake backstage somewhere to try to get him on a verse... Regarding the collaboration, Rihanna explained that "Drake is the hottest rapper out right now and we've always been trying to work together," she said. "He's the only person I thought could really understand the melody of the song." She further stated that when he heard the song he loved it and wrote his verse three days later. The collaboration was originally planned to be a remix, but later it was decided that the version featuring Drake would be used as the original."What's My Name?" managed to reach number one on the chart, before the lead single "Only Girl (In the World)", which topped the chart after two weeks.Rihanna became the first artist in Billboard Hot 100 history to have their first single go to number one after their second single ("Whats My Name?" followed by "Only Girl (In the World). On December 5, 2010 the song reached a new peak in UK of number eight, and during the same week, Rihanna had two other top-ten singles with "Only Girl (In the World)" at number seven and "Who's That Chick" (by David Guetta featuring Rihanna) at number nine. With that Rihanna became the fourth artist in UK chart history to make this achievement. On January 9, 2011 it peaked at No.1. As a result, Rihanna became the first female artist in UK chart history to have a number one single in five consecutive years. It was also the second time in her career that Rihanna simultaneously topped the singles and albums charts in the UK
