Rihanna and her new single “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z has grabbed the No. 1 spot on the United Kingdom’s singles chart through download sales alone.

She is the first woman to accomplish this feat and the second artist since Gnarls Barkley who did it last year with the classic “Crazy.’

“I can’t believe it, finally,” Rihanna responded when she heard the news. “I always stay at No. 2 in the U.K., but thanks to the fans that get it, it’s a great thing. My first No. 1 in the U.K., it’s a great feeling. The single isn’t even in the stores yet, a lot of people have got it digitally, so thank you to them.”

Sha Money’s mix skills and producecr prowess are all over the soundtrack for the newly released videogame FreeStyle Street Basketball.

“The real challenge was matching music with the game play,” Sha told Billboard, “so I went into my lab to come up with exciting, energy-driven beats to fit the mood of action. You’ve got to have them really pulsated to match the fast face of street basketball.

Artists on the soundtrack include Lloyd Banks who does the theme track, “Go Hard or Go Home” along with a  Sha-produced video.
