    what use is being facebook famous when your album cant scan platinum?

      Dead, autopsied, funeraled and buried chile! THAT was an epic READ b****!

    • AmbeRussell January 3, 2013

      i say the same thing. and there ppl who dont have facebook pages who are not apart of the later generation x, so they cant “like” a certain female singer facebook page and there are ppl who can give 2 shits about “liking” their favorite singer’s page, while other do “like” a page, but doesnt mean they will go out and buy said musicians music or material. ex. my mom likes keyshia cole. my mom does not have a facebook page. so doe that mean keyshia has 1 less fan, 1 less person to buy her music?

    Facebook likes aren’t records sold. I don’t give a f***. I have seen many reports saying that celebrities buy fake Facebook likes (and Twitter’s followers) to boost their numbers. I am not here for this mess. :sipspepsi:

    • BEYHIVE MEMBER January 2, 2013

      Does Gilberto ever say anything but TRUTH?!

      • Gilberto January 2, 2013

        I say FACTS as well.

      • AFRO MAN January 2, 2013

        @Gilberto is THAT b****, though.

      • Lax January 2, 2013

        Gilberto says the truth and nothing but the truth
        I suppose that is why Beyonce Bought her first
        40 Million likes DUUUH!!

      • Lax January 2, 2013

        SHHHH,,,,Gilberto when shhhhh yo ass get a chance
        take some time out of yo busy scheldue and look at the World Global Charts and the RIAA, Soundscan and the Official Charts Company and use a little common sense,,
        http://newsimg.ngfiles.com/138000/138162_BK_Beyonce_Knowles___Unpos.jpg
        And see who’s who on the Year End Charts,,,
        PS
        We are going to see if we can get Rih to do it like Beyonce is doing it in this picture and see if Rih can spread her legs wider, I mean after all Rih is taller then Beyonce and is tall enough to lick salt off Beyonce’s Head and that is why Beyonce wears high ass heels almost all of the time.

      • Fresh Navi January 2, 2013

        why is Gilberto always so fluttered and frustrated about rihanna’s

        success if she is such a NON MOTHER F****** FActor

        why are you soooooo STEAM PRESSED?

    • mobwife January 2, 2013

      EXACTLY! Youtube’s bullsh** broadcast about “hackers” adding fake views to their system was a damn lie when they were initially advertising the purchase of a “robo-type” view-comment account where one could makea1 comment and it would appear up to 20 times under 20 different account names. It was crazy. I don’t trust YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK, TWITTER or any social media outlets as far as being a creditable account of an artists success!

    • AmbeRussell January 3, 2013

      why is ppl making this about rihanna. this towards all musicians who have huge fans numbers following or liking their pages, yet it oes not translate in music sells or general public actually liking them. has nothing to do with beef or this person vs that…

    Beyonce is the queen, 16 years into her career and shes still up there. If only social media was out when she was starting of her career.

    • Gilberto January 2, 2013

      Instead of virtual likes and virtual numbers, she has records sold. :sipspepsi:

      • Lax January 2, 2013

        @THE REAL XOXO, If what you and Gilberto says is true then why in the hell is Beyonce Dragging so far behind Rih in sales of Albums and Singles? Going back as far as 2008
        when B’s “I Am Sasha Fierce” Was so hot i notice that even back then for the year of 2008,,,,on the Urban Charts R’s
        “Good Girl” was #9 for the year end and B was #50 and I wonder why?

        Then in 2009 on the Urban Charts R was #2 “Good” and B was #6 with I Am Sash and Chris was #1 with Exclusive on the Urban I wonder why BHive?

      • Lax January 2, 2013

        And the end of the year sells in albums and single for the last over three years now Rihanna has come out on top. With Billboard Naming her #2 behind Adele for 2011 and 2012 Where was Bey What was her Number, BHive?

      • BEY FAKE…BEY A FLOP…BEY A LIAR…BEY A PLAGERIST…BEY A HOOD HIVE!!! January 2, 2013

        SO DOES RIHANNA B****!!! RIHANNA IS OUTSELLING BEY SINCE 2009 SO FAGERTO KEEP SIPPING THAT PEPSI WHILE RIHANNA STILL SLAYS YOUR FAVE

    • BEYHIVE MEMBER January 2, 2013

      And what will you choose?

      Being “Liked” on Facebook by a QUESTIONABLE 65 million people? Or selling +70 CD/DVD albums in your 15-years career?????????

      🙄

      KING B is not a 12.y.o. who has a lot of under-10 fans on the internet, she does the real thing, which is SELL RECORDS.

      @BEY HIVE,,,,,,
      See its kind of Scary the way Yall tries to single Rih’s Ass out when in Fact Many want to know where are all the others who are supposed to be raising Hell also. I mean Now taking into account that Beyonce has over 40 Million likes and she did not get a F**”n Hit., R U BYTCHES FOR REAL?

  4. King B>Rihanna(My Hair is Layed like Beyonce’s Haters Loose P****) January 2, 2013

    Facebook and Twitter means nothing cause not even a quarter of these fans that follow and like these artist buy their music anyway.

      Check with Forbes and BillBoard and see what they say about
      their Social Networking Abilities. And if Social Networking means nothing then I wonder why is some one who’s as busy as beyonce is with baby and all why would she even bother to put things on instagram??? Oh and RIHANNA IS

      @BEY HIVE An remember to take into consideration that RIHANNA isn’t supposed to be able to “Carry A Tune” in a brown paper sack if you let the BHive tell it…

      • Lax January 2, 2013

        Like I have stated before Beyonce has dropped 4 Albums But on the same token Beyonce also has which is something Rihanna don’t have is some Others Forms of Music like for instance Beyonce’s DVD’s In the top DVD’S for I forget what year but they was Beyonce’s ,,,
        ELEMENTS OF “4” DVD AND BEYONCE’S,,,
        I AM SASHA,,WORLD TOUR WAS IN THE TOP 50 OF BEST SELLING DVD’s,,,so Beyonce is SHOOTING from all angles and you can BET YO SWEET ASS RIHANNA IS GUNNNNNIN FROM ALL ANGLES THIS TIME AROUND BEY HIVE BYTCHES!!!

    ____________________________________________
    Exactly! This is why I’m not impressed by anything these days. FB & Twitter is a big joke. The likes, the followers – it’s all to build hype and give false impressions. This bs is honestly why I feel like the last decade that went out will be the last real decade in music. The last 2 years have been all over the place in so many ways. It’s uninspiring and completely irrelevant. I’m not mad at who made the list for any reason. I just hate that these things are always mentioned, but it simply doesn’t carry weight . I love Bey, but I could care less who follows her. I’m here for the stats, the ground-breaking achievements, but most of all the GOOD music by GREAT artists!!!!

    I told you that the Navy would be here with s*** to say……………How can a girl have so many fans on Facebook and can’t get a platinum record yet from this era.Taylor has less fans and made 1M in one week…………..Adele has the least likes but had the best selling album two year in a rows………..Stop trying to defend her you look dumb.

    • King B>Rihanna(My Hair is Layed like Beyonce’s Haters Loose P****) January 2, 2013

      Plus Beyonce had no hit singles, a low like rate compared to Rihanna and went platinum before her.

      Shine Bright Like A G-String!

  30. MissImpartial January 2, 2013

    What is the point of this article when people now know that Facebook followers, Twitter followers and YouTube views are bought by the record companies. I don’t take these seriously.

  31. KC January 2, 2013

    Even though I am proud of Bey for being top 5 15 years into the game AND she is perhaps the least social networking savy (shes only getting into it now) Facebook likes do not really reflect much realistically because anyone can ‘like’ a facebook page you dont even have to be a fan of the person. On Nicki Minajs facebook page I see nothing but hate in the comments smh. And also, we all know there are some dodgy deals going on when it comes to facebook and twitter followers.

    • KC January 2, 2013

      savvy*

      • PSA (FAF) January 2, 2013

        Thats bc ppl from other countries that do not speak english are being told by Lil Phlegm fans that Nicki is saying anti-muslim remarks in her music & they are too stupid to listen to it and see its a punchline … Nicki is a RAP artist. her lyrics are not always politically correct. like when she said she was a republican voting for romney even BARACK OBAMA knew she was mocking the republican party and shouted her out on the radio !!

      • Julia January 2, 2013

        But they still ‘liked’ her page though.

  32. Bryan Dossome January 2, 2013

    Ok another list…with all these likes,these b****** on the top 10 should be getting diamond certifications with ease….congrats to the REAL DIVAS mariah,madge,celine and mary j

  34. The female MJ (Beyonce’s Weave) January 2, 2013

    I understand the hood-hive is full of illiterates so really, them not seeing the significance of social media does not surprise me. Facebook and Twitter are a great marketing and market research tool. Most of Rihanna’s fans ate international, hence them liking Cristiano Ronaldo, and that is why Unapologetic is doing well internationally (1.6 million copies sold in 5 weeks).

    Times have changed and if you think FB and Twitter following is useless, then you need to crawl out of the hole you’re living in. Welcome to the NEW MUSIC INDUSTRY.

    • Uh Oh January 2, 2013

      But half her likes are bought babe.

    • Jenni January 2, 2013

      What is the significance of being popular on social media when your album doesn’t sell…….

      • ☠RIHANNA TITANIC ☠ January 2, 2013

        THIS B**** IS SO STUPID… 😥

      • joker January 2, 2013

        she feeding her ego. the sales and money is only second i might think.

    • Naomi January 2, 2013

      So wheres her diamond album then if its so significant and refelctive of her fan base.

    • Touché January 2, 2013

      I’m sorry but you’re quite dumb so there was no point in you insulting other fan bases. It’s not just Beyonce fans who find social media sites such as Facebook quite useless when it comes to the music industry. If you haven’t noticed majority of these “significant” millions of likes or followers (etc.) do not translate into albums sales whatsoever. If it were true than majority of popular music artists these days would be have multi-platinum or diamond albums which they don’t so don’t even.

  35. Petra January 2, 2013

    Beyonce doesnt use facebook and twitter yet she is at no 5 and also broke twitter record unlike some gimmick.

BEYONCE HAD HER REIGN BUT NOW RIHANNA DRIED IT UP!!!

  45. Naomi January 2, 2013

    This is actually shade because you have all them likes and your album still dont sell. If all those people were true fans you’d have a diamond album in your discography by now. The word BANDWAGON fans springs to mind!

    • Lax January 2, 2013

      Her sales are just about right Beyonce has 40 million she bought and the others are yall’s asses and look at her sales,,,Rihanna is talling on the year end charts really good and as compared to the top ten they are in order Bytches,,,,yall just mad because beyonce’s country ass isn’t in that number one spot,,,,lmao,,,,bitter d***** BaGS…

  48. JOHNVIDAL January 2, 2013

    Real memorable achievements:
    – Adele selling more than 20 million albums while sitting in her fave chair in London in an era when nobody sells more than 6 million anymore
    – Mariah Carey having the song of the decade twice in a row, both songwritten by HER
    – Whitney Houston having the biggest era a female has ever known in history of planet Earth: The Bodyguard— Best selling album by a female ever, best selling single by a female ever, best selling soundtrack ever, best selling album of the 90´s, fist album to sell more than a million copies in a f****** week in the uSA alone EVER even before any men or group, etc
    – Celine Dion selling 500,000 copies of her new French album in France ALONE in only a MONTH this last November, 30 years after her debut, when will Ritry do it? I´m talking about present sales, and Ritry is at her popularity peak, when is she going to do it? She can´t even do it in the uSA, a country with 4 or 5 times more population
    – Madonna´s tours when she is in her 60´s 🙂
    – Barbra Streisand being the biggest female album seller in US history

    I´m slayed with all these true facts and epic achievements, aren´t you? Those are very few examples I could give about the REAL RECORDS in music history. Each of these women have more than the ones I mentioned: Ritry or Beyonce have none. Next

    Congrats to everyone on that list but i can really care less about who is liking you on FB and twitter lol im only here for your music as an artist. half of them pple that are liking there pages among other social internet sources are only interested in the personal lives of these artist rather than what they put out musically. if it gets to the point of pple disrespecting you (for ex. “i cant stand this b**** is fake as hell”)and you have to curse them out and they are supposedly following you on twitter or instag. then something aint right, what are you really here for but hey to each is own.

  50. Loyalty January 2, 2013

    I just love Beyonce. The longest serving singer in the top 10, barely uses social networking compared to most of the others and shes still in the top 5. Id love to see if half these singers at their peak now, 10 years later still making it so high on these ever changing lists. And people have the nerve to say she aint relevant. Keep telling your delusional asses that.

    The female MJ: b**** stfu. Not everybody that said the likes didn’t matter were beyonce Stans. U calling the beyhives illiterate but u and ur navy are always the ones sayin first week sales don’t matter and it’s the long run that counts. Thats dumb logic because high first week sales WILL help it to potentially sale in the long run even years to come. Someone with low first week sales obviously is going to sell the slowest. That’s why a record label’s goal is to reach platinum sales by role of promotion and marketing and distributing before the actual album is released. And yes fb and twitter are great ways for an artist to be promoted but legends like MJ Whitney Mariah madonna celine dion were selling much better than the cookie cutters of today and they didn’t even have social media. That’s y ppl were questioning. I
