After journeying to Paris to support his wife Beyonce on her ongoing ‘Mrs.Carter Show‘ outing, ROC boss Jay Z has learned that the label has scored their latest win this year.
A win, that comes in the shape of the #1 album ‘Unapologetic‘.
Recorded by the entertainer Rihanna, the last week has seen the Def Jam/Roc Nation led LP has been certified Platinum in the US for shipments of 1 million units in the market, six months after its November 2012 release date.
Owing the bulk of its success to Jay Brown, Omar Grant, Jay Z, Terese Joseph, Evan Rogers and Tyran Smith, the project’s sales also come courtesy of the Sia penned single ‘Diamonds’, also responsible for the Rita Ora smash ‘Radioactive’ and Beyonce‘s ‘Standing On The Sun’.
News of the label’s latest success story comes after they- in partnership with Joel Klaiman‘s ‘Columbia‘ and Sarah Stennett‘s ‘Turn First‘- pushed Ora’s debut album ‘ORA‘ and its supporting singles to sales of 1.3 million units and ventured into lucrative field of sports management- as explained here.
It also comes after the aforementioned Brown was billed one of the most influential figures in the industry by Billboard’s ‘40 Under 40′ tally, commending him for his contributions to Pop music via his work with ROC and Quincy Jones Music Publishing before that.
Congratulations!

Oh s***… Congrats RiRi
So let’s get this straight.
She had thanksgiving sales, christmas sales and a number one single and she’s only now going Platinum. The struggle to slay is so real.
Your point is valid but you stan for Ciara so now it’s nul in void. Sorry. Pun intended.
Who let this trick B**** out of the h***** pound.
The same B**** who certified Ciara’s BP triple sawdust. You mad?
Oh miss b****, the only mad one here IS you. But i don’t blame you, cos I’d be mad too if my faves p**** lost all elasticity.
Drake really stretched that overused snatch to the max didn’t he?
Leave my King out of this please.
STOP putting Rita s*** on everything that is Rihanna. She ain’t NO RIHANNA damn it – not even close. IDC how much u want her to be. Fucktard!!!
Lmfao! After almost 6 moths of it being out it just now reached Platinm status in the US. Well we already knew Rihanna is good for singles,not albums. Anyways, congrats to her. Her first number #1 album!

This is stupid
HMM the efforts to promote beyonce is shameful
CONGRATS TO MY QUEEN THOUGH
#THATREIGN
Lmfao, what reign. Did you just read the article, UnApolegetic was released last november and it is just reaching platinum status in the US! That isn’t an accomplishment Hun, especially since it is a full out RnB album and had the hit Diamonds on it.
2.8 million WW b**** 2.8 million! get your life
I just wanted to comment on The Wanted new songs Walks Like Rihanna. I dont knowo why the Navy is so pressed, The Wanted are dragging the s*** out of Rihanna with that song. They are throwing so much shade,just listen to the lyrics. She CANT Sing,She CANT, dance but who cares because she walks like Rihanna. They are saying Rihanna has no talent, but she is very cocky even though she has nothing to be cocky about. Basically she is overly confident about nothing. Just wante dto put that out there. Yall were saying they were saying it is because she walks like a model and s***.
Gurl shut up! You are so retarded that you can’t even read properly!
“She can’t sing/ She can’t dance/ But who cares?/ She walks like Rihanna.”
They are talking about girls without any talent. They are not saying that Rihanna is untalented, actually it is the opposite. The gurl they ar singing about is not talented like Rihanna but at least she can dance like her, that’s her only quality. try again. _/
Lmfao..Why do you think they mentioned Rihanna in that song, do you really think they like her walk that bad. You have to understand the lyrics, She Cant Sing,She Cant Dance,But Who Cares because She Walks Like Rihanna. They are shading Rihanna, saying Rihanna cant sing or dance (which is correct) but she walks with confidence.
No b**** they was talking about your fave #DEAL
Gurl no, that’s not the point of the song. Ofc Rihanna haters will take that as a shade but actually it is not considering the fact that the song was made by Katy Perry and Dr Luke, one of Rihanna’s BFF. The girl is not talented as Rihanna but she can walk like her 😉
@likica Lmfao…Ok..Fine Believe what you want but that was a good amount of shade being thrown at Rihanna.
Making that song about rihanna was a good thing they know what they are doing and they are getting the buzz they need and it also will help rihanna. And if rihanna can’t do anything and all the others are better than she is then why aren’t they
booking stages around the world like rihanna is doing.
You would think that there was no more stages to book especially since beyonce is supposed to be the number one chick and is supposed to own this year how was rihanna able to book these stages shes seen performing on right now, oh did jayz pay for rihanna stages also.
My fav’s man always winning.
And stealing
Your p**** smells though.
It is a good thing rihanna is on a winning team.
KIL! OKay hasnt this s*** been out for like half a year now..why is it just now reaching platinum status in the US.. Wow.. I see why her fans never boast about album sales but they rely on singles, 7 albums and not even over 30 mill sold WW yet.
Kiiii. This post is about to get filthy!
Roc nations unapologetic? Really sam
Paw zat! Only going platinum now?
How exactly is this an accomplishment,just now reached a mill,seriously… I see why the Diamons Tour is a flop now.. She is canceling shows and telling her fans she is sick then you see her partying,when really it is because of poor ticket sales.
Oh my, 1,000 comments here we come.
Anyways congrats Rihanna
Congrats to Rihanna.
There are a few tunes on this album. But this is the first album that I had to skip a few tracks.
Rated R and Loud are both albums I can listen to in full.
I hope she gets some rest this year and releases a new album next year as Unapologetic seemed rushed and forced in regards to concept. Like all of a sudden she’s ratchet now and is “Unapologetic” for it. Please Rihanna hit the studio with timbaland and maybe we can’t get another Rehab-esque song.
Stop this ratchet attitude it’s really annoying and seems forced.
Right..It seems at the beginning of her career she cared a little bit more but as fame got to her head she let it all slip away. Her highest selling albums was Good Girl Gone Bad and Rated R,I dont think she will ever do something that good again.
SCREAMIM TO THE TOP OF MY LUNGS LMAO @ UR NAME!!!
Why are the Navy celebrating this mess. You guys know good and wel if this was any one else yall would call it a flop,but since it is your un-talented fav it is an acheivement..Okay..
What kinda shade…?
Congrats Ri . The tittle is so unnecessary, its rihanna’s album.
To be honest Rihanna just needs to stop rushing her albums. I remember that one interview when they asked her about her feelings on producing music and she said it is like going shopping, I just pick out what I like. She needs to put more time and effort and actually get into the production of her material, then maybe she will sell more. I mean this is already her 7th studio album,she needs to get serious.
LOL! I remember her saying that, but when you have no creative input in the development of the music, you can just walk in a studio, pick all the “for sale” tracks you want, talk over it and let the engineer do the rest..
and the so call people who take 1 to 2 years what the hell do they come up with. do even produce albums good as rihanna. it doesn’t matter how long you take to make an album. RIhanna have people working on her songs long before she hit the the studio. she tells them what she wants. what she’s looking for . Every artist recording process is different. some people have to record over 50 songs to pic 10. and some times you wonder if they pic the 10 worst one to put on the album. rihanna just pick what she wants and record and to me she puts out a dam. good album every time. one of the few artist when you put in the cd in the car you don’t have to skip a song. RIhanna is a person who look like she gets bored quickly, so i don’t see her spending one year doing an album. her process works for her.most of rihanna’s album are record at her home with a portable studio. this woman has too many business ventures going on to spend a 1-2 years recording an album
Xedos and some artist persents seventy songs to drop one album.
Lmao f****** flop takes 6 months to reach platinum the w**** is PATHETIC
When was the last time Ciara had at least a Gold album?
PEOPLE WERE STILL BANGIN HER LAST ALBUM. BEFORE …UN-APOLOGETIC . ..IT TOOK ME A MONTH TWO TO BUY THE NEW ONE TOO…CUZ THE LAST ALBUM WAS STILL SELLING & PEOPLE WAS STILL BANGIN IT….
(
1,000,000 SOLD….GET ‘EM B**** .
Fryn pan face b****!
So immature but the Titanic are going to seethe!
Screami`s fatass could never
The way TW are shading Rihanna though.
Hive better hope Beyonce goes platinum within 6months aswell she’ll get dragged worse since she calls herself king that king better go platinum in a week
She will
So this is a good thing. But if it is osmeone else it will be called a flop right. Almost 7 moths in and she just now reached platinum status is the US. Lol, Okay! That Rihanna Reign though….
5 months is almost 7????
she sold a milli off of 3 US singles 2 international. when will your fav?
This site is so immature & petty smh
Congratulations Rihanna atleast your albums reach platinum status no matter how long it takes
yes, yes and YES to your comment
The shade is so weak it’s not even funny. Last time I checked when ever Rihanna wins something all the people you name she thanks them and said we did.(We) meaning her bad ass crew Jay-z,TyTy,Jay brown Even Rogers and The Navy. So your shade is a majah decline like your t-cells #letstalkaboutthatbugslife. Congrats to the Bajan princess she did it again. #stillgotmymoney #allIseeisplatinum
Hahahahahahahahhhhhaahhaahhaja MY fave stays winning!!!! Hahahajaahahah
Diamonds tour stadiums sold out!!! Hahahajaahahah a
First 12 shows sold out ahajahjhaahahahahaja
Unapologetic 3 million sold Ww. With only 2 singles and lack of promo hahahaahahhaahajahjahahahaha
Her tour isn’t sold out….. It’s almost… but not completely.
The proof is on Ticket-master! No shade… just stating the facts!
Yess and how many more dates will get cancelled? Ms Carter World Tour will be in London tomorrow…. Why are the wanted throwing shade though? after 1D already snatched their flop wigs. How the f*** did this number one album just turn platinum, Fantasia will outsell this watch!
Rihanna has bunch of #1 singles…. but she’s just now going platinum? This just goes to show that people don’t respect Rihanna as an artist like they do JT, Adele, and Beyoncé. They can sell albums…a full piece of artwork… Rihanna’s only good for singles!
Beyonce is just slightly a better album seller than Rihanna but she could never compete with Britney Spears, such a shame.
Are you kidding??? Beyoncé is completely above Britney on EVERY level…. and if she can’t RIHANNA CAN’T EITHER! BYE H**!
Beyoncé>>>>>>>>>BRITNEY AND R****! : /
Hahaha yeah right. Baby One More Time has outsold entire Beyonce album dsicography. Circus Tour outgrossed I am.. Tour. Once again, a delusional Beyhive member.
Beyonce is way more respected and credited as a performer. Stats are fine but Brit Brit has a pretty bad reputation as a performer and star in comparison to Beyonce.
Why is the #Navy so ahppy about this tho..You guys are so hypocritical, if it was anyone elses it would be called a flop,but since it is your fav she is winning. She needs to take time and put work into her albums and maybe they will actually sell more. She is to worried about staying relevant so she keeps releasing quick singles after single then releasing a trashy album. Out of Rihanna 7 albums only 2-3 have actually been midly successful.
Why would we call it a flop when the last album took twice aslong to go platinum so yes were happy about it, Another platinum plaque for a girl who can’t sell albums
@riribad She can’t sell albums, seriously, 7 albums in and she still hasn’t passed the 30 mill sold WW mark. Anybody can release album after album to sell alot. Just like price sold 80 mill albums but released 32 albums. The only difference was prince was actually talented.
Honey I don’t care about her selling 30millions wtf is that guna do for u & me????? lol aslong as it goes playboy I dont care regardless Rihanna is here to stay
@Connector actually Rihanna has sold 30 million albums and 120 million singles WW……
She JUST went platinum? What kind of underperformance.
When will Frank?
Let Missguel borrow his Grammy?
This post was so badly written its baffling. Also I could of sworn Rihanna was on another label!?
Either way…WW she will smash she has longevity and still strong singles to release. Unlike others who keep pushing their singles back. Or mabe it’s the radio station declining them. Anyways who didn’t see this coming!?
You don’t know s*** b****, Rihanna is and will always be ROC so shut the f*** up.
lol. that’s some twisted post. tryna stir up things… again? how many times you wrote posts like that… tgj? i can’t remember. seriously… wtf.
anyway… it’s platinum. so… it’s good.
Glad it didn’t take 10 months like talk that talk… Its like her odd number albums always sell better and faster than the even albums
Lana sold 5 million world wide with BTD. Has TTT done that? Nope!!!
Lana it at 3.9 million. Did Lana’s debut album sell at least 1000 copies like Katy Hudson? I don’t think so!
Good for lana
#liestoldonTGJ
Lmfao! Okay I am #Navy all day but Queen Rih needs to get her act together. This s*** was released 7 months ago and it is just now reaching Platinum status in the US. WW it has only sold about 2.1 mill. Rih come harder, stop worrying so much about being a bad girl and take time to work on your singles. Stop canceling your fcking shows,we know you aren’t sick.
It was released 5 months ago if you were a real member of the navy you’d know that
It has sold 2.9 million so far, not 2.1.
It was released last November Hun, I know when the Queens album came out. It just got to Platinum status, and only sold about 2.1 mill WW. Her tickets for the Diamonds World Tour also came out last November and only 12 concerts are sold out. She needs to come harder.
@likica Dont do that! It makes the #Navy look bad. Please stop reaching! I love Rihanna but according to RIAA it has only sold 2.1 WW.
You are not her stan, you probably hide under Navy name to shade her since you are a Beyonce stan. And Unapologetic has sold 2.9 million copies worldwide and as a stan you should know that but you obviously are not the one. Diamonds World Tour is doing very well, so far all shows have been sold out. We will see its result when all is said and done.
December equals 1st month
January equals 2nd month
February 3rd month
March 4 th month
April 5 th month
Its sad I have to do this cause you h*** are so basic dont know how to count n s***
@lickia its obviously not a Rihanna Stan ive never even seen this b**** on here before lame ass hive got nothing to do besides discredit rih
@likica How the fck are you going to tell me who I stan for. I am a stan but I dont reach. I dont like everything just because she is my fav. I will admit what is true and I wont make stuff up. If you ont belive it just go check the website. There is no point in lieing to make my fav look better,it makes the navy look desperate. It is a shame how you think just because someon e says the truth about rih they are a beyonce stan. You are making it seem like we are scared of the beyhive. quit it.
You proved that you are a flop stan. These are Unapologetic sales.

@likica Stop reaching.. Like I said it makes the Navy look bad, just check any official chart site. Riaa or even Chart News.
ChartNews post Mediatraffic numbers though. Stop trying, you are so misinformed for a Rihanna stan.
@likica Omfg..Ok..Believe what you want all I know is Rihanna needs to gt this s*** together.
UnaFLOPlogic had Black Friday, Christmas, a #1 hit and many discounts through the year, but it got a million certification only now. KIIIIIIII. What a flop! I can’t. I bet that it didn’t sell one million yet.
Many discounts? What are you talking about? It had a discount just in the UK, while it is still selling with a full price in the USA, it was never discounted there like Pink/Bruno did with their albums. The fact that she sold more than 4 in just 6 months though even though 4 has a generic dance song like RTW :/
@Likica It was discounted in the Uk during the holiday season, it was only about 5 dollars, during black friday,and she reduced the price on i-tunes also. Also, 4 has sold 3mill WW, UnApolegetic has sold 2.1 as of 2013,stop reaching.
You should stop trying. 4 has not sold 3 million worldwide, it is at 2.7-2.8 million at best. Unapologetic has sold 2.9 million according to Mediatraffic and 3.1 million according to MusicCharts. It was never discounted in the USA though. Have a _/
@likica 4 has sold 3Mill WW as of 2013 Hun, after the superbowl it got back on the charts and sold more. You can check SoundCloud and ChartCheck. Rihanna has discounted her album multiple times, and it only sold 2.1. Stop reaching so fcking much, you are trying to say it is almost at 3mill WW.
@LIRIKA
What dumb, b****? They were selling UnaFLOPlogic for like $3 a few months after its release. I can’t. Did you forget about it? I didn’t it. KIIIIIIIIII.
RTW is generic?!? LOL. B****, you’re so dumb. Really dumb. You don’t even know the meaning of generic. Could you name another 2011 song that sounds like RTW? I dare you! If RTW is generic, the whole existence of R****** is generic since she’s a bad carbon copy of the KING.
UnaFLOPlogic outsold 4??? KIIIIIIIII. THE REACH! I want see the receipts.
There are so many songs that sound like Run The World which was a rip off of another song though. RTA was a basic song. She perfromed that song everywhere, hell Rihanna has never performed that much any of her songs like Beyonce did. You are a dumb b**** though since you don’t even know your fav sales. Rihanna has better songs quality wise, I mean Fire Bomb, Cold Case Love, Unfaithful, Stay, Cry >>>
If you were a real stan you would know that 4 is at 2.7-2.8 million worldwide and Unapologetic is close to 2.9 based on 6 months sale. How is that flopping? She has yet to release more singles. Just because you hate her it doesn’t mean her album is a flop.
chile we’re gonna drag beyflop under the sea when her new flop album takes longer to go platinum.
@likica You need help hun
You need it more than me. I don’t hate Beyonce like you hate Rihanna 😉
Girls, is it just me or is Jay kinda hot in that picture.
Stay away from him w****!
Rihhoe only lent her voice to the album, the real credit should go to the writers and producers who made her sound somewhat like a singer on this album. without all the studio trickery and rihhoe sucking off every producer she has worked with and being the biggest s*** on this side of the Mississippi river she would be nothing.
R****** is as hot as her producers are. She doesn’t write, produce, sing or dance. She doesn’t put any input onto her trashy music. She’s a completly image drive artist. That’s why she changes her hair and personality everytime DefScam is about to release a new album. That’s why she spends more time bitching on Twitter than rehearsing.
HAHAHA!! I can’t today lol!
Congrats to the Queen.
LMAO! Queen of what? Opening legs for every rapper and football player. This b**** is loose and cocky. I was with her during the AGLM,MOTS,GGGB after she became cocky and all that bad girl image I lost interest. Huge turn off. This b**** v***** is torn apart who hasn’t she slept with? From Jay Z to L.A Reid who hasn’t slept with this girl from the industry? She’s loose!
LMAO back to the TOPIC. After 50 years its platinum but anyways I’ll keep it cute yall
Congrats bad girl riri 🙂
Lmfao.. You drag so effortlessly though some of the navy is reall reaching saying that it has sold 2.9mill ww..I just cant
DEAD!
Bring us the receipts for all that you are saying, if you don’t have stop wasting your time! 😉 It took it 50 years to go platinum but it has outsold 4 worldwide which went platinum faster in the USA. Lets talk about other countries… It’s been 2 years and 4 is not certified 2xPlatinum in the Uk yet? It took Unapologetic 5 months. What about France? Unapologetic is at 240 000 copies there, which is better sales than any of Beyonce’s albums. What about Germany? Is 4 even certified Gold there? Italy? Spain? Canada? Hello?
I will just remind you of this if you already forgot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9tb8hsRwP4
Hater. You actually believe material creasing = Fake Bump lmao. Prosthetic bumps do not fold. Peep these pics with her BARE belly and be seated.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCnVyhpQSPg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxoUYoBUyMA
You actually believe shed do that? Walk around bare bellied with a fake bump on? Thats pathetic. And that bump shown there WOULD NOT fold. She put on so much weight and was swollen, she was hiding it during the early stages you are a real hater Likica dont ever try and deny it.
The world got a big laugh off this and beyonce will never live these images all the way down even after Bic Graduates
from her private high school.
People who actually believe that are really stupid and out of touch with reality. Watch when she falls pregnant again which Im sure she will, I guess they will say shes faking that too! smh.
Rihanna demands the haters attention and keep them working around the clock to try and knock her.
OOOOOOOP more money for Queen Blue’s college tuition. Thanks Riri!!!
The Queen keeps these h*** PRESSED another PLATINUM PLAQUE
Lmfao! Just Imagine How many Beyonce has though!!
Do I care tho? Good for her who cares who has more wtf
Ok So after all the discounts, holiday sales, promo, and after Diamonds went to number 1, this album has just now reached platinum status in the US and has only sold 2.1 mill WW. Wow!
IKR. It’s PATHETIC. Titanic’s standard is so low. She tried, but failed again. If she has a flop single, her album wouldn’t even reach Plastic certifcation. She’ll always need a producer to keep her career relevant.
I remember when ‘You Da Flop’ flopped and made her flop album fell off of the charts.
NAVY TWIN
And you claim that you stan for Rihanna. LOL h** you’ve been caught.
@likica Who the fck is Navy Twin. Get your delusiona lass out with al lyour navy buddies. You and Navy Twin can go suck a d***, tf. All of these crazy ass NAZI stans though.
I really don’t get how Beyonce fans talk so much s*** about rihanna sales when Beyonce is a weak album seller aswell they both can’t sell albums to save their lives the hive be acting like Beyonce be selling like Adele n Taylor swift smh Beyonce can’t even come close to it…..
Well I guess you can say that but if you were to compare Rihanna vs Beyonce in album sales Beyonce wins. She has sold over 30mill with only 4 albums while Rihanna is still struggling to get to 30mill WW with 7 albums already.
Beyonce has not sold 30 million albums, she is at 25. Rihanna is at 29-30 though.
Britney stan I agree! Both are average album sellers. The nerve of Hive to come for Britney when Baby One More Time has outsold entire Beyonce’s album discography. :/
OMG Rihanna is only like less than 5 mill ahead and she has almost double the albums bwahahaha!
Beyonce might sell more albums then rihanna and beyonce has dropped as many albums as rihanna has with her remixes and rihanna is still out selling beyonce in singles
and giving beyonce a run for her money in the albums department and rihanna’s music over all has broke a lot more new ground then beyonce music ever has even when beyonce was the front woman for destiny childs group.
For beyonce to be the best or the baddest she must never let the likes of rihanna, adele, and britney, gaga beat her in sales of her music and they all have beat beyonce and adele and britney has diamond where is beyonce diamond. What other musician is beating rihanna on the charts because beyonce sure isn’t as a matter of fact beyonce is trying to get a hit perhaps jayz will buy beyonce a dozen hits off her next album.
Lol okaaay has bey ever sold a million in a week??
No. And neither had Michael and Madonna. Did Taylor have an iconic performance? Michael, Madonna and Beyoncé did.
At least Beyoncé didn’t need to sell her album with a pizza slice to reach one million. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL.
Your fave isn’t even internationally known. So let’s not REACH.
@Britney Stan
Beyoncé has albums that its sales in US outsold R******’s in the entire world. KIIIIIII. Have a seat.
@likica Lmfao.. Dangerously In Love has sold 11million WW..B-Day has sold 8million WW.. IASF has sold 8million WW..Year Of 4 has sold 3million WW. Now if you add that all up what do you get.. 30million Hun. NO wadd that up with her dvd sales, and DC3 sales and see how many you get. You could also add singles if you want to get even more slayage. Rihanna has yet to surpass 30mill w ven after 7 albums. dont try me hun
Spare me those inflated numbers, I am not here for them. 😉 Rihanna has sold 29-30 million albums, Beyonce is at 25. Deal!
Even more proof that Rihanna is basic if Beyonce is less than 5 mill behind when she has almost double the albums.
Jay-Z : Do What Thou Wilt
Beyonce demonic hubby
This is the only site on the net who post the artist manger when the artist is rihanna and has reached a new milestone, this show the pain and hurt many suffers in behind rihanna’s achievenments. The rihanna wins is a struggle for those who want her to not do well and it shows.
Rihanna is a lot of the reason jayz is smiling from ear to ear rihanna is one of the crown jewels in jayz and beyonce’s crowns they wear daily.
Why do the Hive and the Navy hate each other so much? What is up with all the Rihanna Vs Beyonce comparisons? Don’t you guys know that Beyonce is Rihannas idol? Dont you guys know Rihanna basically works for Jay-Z and Beyonce? They are so different, the two of them are like apples and oranges. It makes no sense to compare especially when they are so close.
DEATH at the title and picture. Come on guys, dont fall for it Sam knows what hes doing.
We all know Rihanna isn’t a big album seller but she gets those albums to platinum status everytime.
To the hive when Beyonce sells a million or s*** atleast 700k in the first week then get back at me… You girls run your mouths so much
But Beyonce has sold more than Rihanna..Rihanna or Beyonce both have’nt sold 700k in the first week but B-Day sold 500k in the first week.
That’s pathetic for someone who calls themselves queen…
Real basic tbh.
Anyway,My fav is still winning with her #12 number 1 singles though, all I know is she better not cancel any other shows or I will go awf!! Almost all of her albums have gone platinum and she has almost sold 30mill WW! Whenwill your fav ::)))
How is she winning when your fave doesn’t have a f****** sponsor for her flop tour? LOL. They same thing happened during the “The Last Girl Tour”. The history is repeating. Rihanna didn’t see any penny from that tour.
If 4 was THAT much of a flop why did it go platinum like 5 months faster than Unaplogetic? Get ya life.
Does it really matter when Unapologetic outsold it 2-year-old sales in those 5 months?
Yes because people are reaching when they call it a flop when it has acheived things (this for example) Unapologetic hasnt.
@LIKICA Did UnAFlopegetic sell 3mill WW yet??
I didnt type that, who dat using my name^^^
It is close to it, it is at 2.9 million. 4 has yet to reach 2.9 million gurl 😉 It is not at 3 million either so what’s your point? Unapologetic has already outsold 4 in the UK, in France, Germany and almost all European markets. Rihanna is bigger in Europe, Beyonce is bigger in the USA so what’s a big deal?
The big deal is people calling 4 a flop hon. People throw that word around too easily.
I dont know why you are getting on the defensive when i only stated facts.
I’ve never called 4 a flop though, I even like that album. I think that 3 million is quite successful nowadays considering the state of music industry :/ Anyway, I didn’t lie, I stated facts. 4 is not at 3 million yet. :/
And tell me other black artists beside Bey and Rihanna that can sell 3 million nowadays? They are both successful and they work hard for that, so no need to hate on them. I don’t hate Bey, it’s simply that I like Rihanna and her music more. Bey is a better performer but Rihanna’s fashion and music are better for me, that’s why I stan for her more than for Bey.
@likica Well according to SoundScan,RIAA, and ChartCheck Beyonces Year Of 4 has now sold 3Million WW as of 2013. It has sold 2.7 as of 2011 but sales increased after the SB! Stop making s*** up, also UnApolegetic has just reached 1 million in the US and has sold about 2.1 WW.
Omg why are you using my name you imposter lol^^^^ Anyway I agree with you though.

As you can see Unapologetic is there at 3 million. 4 is not, sorry, it is at 2.7-2.8 million. The sales may increased but they were not 200 000 for sure :/
But it doesn’t really matter to me, I like both albums, but Beyonce fans were the first to come to this post and hate on Rihanna and her sales.
@likica Wow! Typical hater actions! Deflate your enemy and inflat your fav! Dead at you saying rihannaunaflopegetic solld 3mill ww! YEAR OF 4 HAS SOLD 3MILL WW! HATER SIWLL DEAL!
Omg the you are reaching Una is at like 2.9 and 4 is at like 2.8/7 there barely any difference lol! Yet you have the nerve to say you dont try and discredit Beyonce?
@SASS
The Hive were first coming for Rihanna in this post. Unapologetic did in 5-6 months what 4 did in 2 years. :/
But anyway, I don’t consider 4 a flop and I’ve never said that.
@MWAH
I am not inflating/deflating anyone’s sales. You have the receipts, if you don’t want to believe it it is noy my problem. Unapologetic is more successful than 4 so far and it has sold more albums/singles/records worldwide so far.
My point was people going in on 4 being a flop and you have to jump on a whole other bandwagon about unapologetic when the fact still remains if 4 was such a terrible flop yet it still went platinum faster! You dont think its a flop so why even respond? Like i said I only stated a fact!
Gurl, it doesn’t matter if it went Platinum faster or not. At the end of the day, worldwide sales are what actually matters. My point is that people shouldn’t mock Unapologetic/the time it took to go Platinum since we know that Rihanna is not that huge album seller in the USA, but she compensates that with Europe and other countries which show her total album sales. 9.5 million in the USA and 21 million outside of it. Have a nice time and bop to this;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSC_ZoY2Ncc
If it dont matter then why are you responding? It must be getting your goat up. And I still stand by the FACT i presented in reference to THIS post about going PLATINUM in the US. Deal.
Why are you concerned about Rihanna’s sales if you don’t like her anyway? You are a typical Rihanna hater. The dislikes obviously agree with me and you will have to deal with it, not me hun 😀
I dont dislike her actually, thats the funny thing! I just dont like her fans so will shade her just like you shade Beyonce 😉
I’ll leave the Taylor and Britney. Since I enjoy they faves. I’m waiting for any katy or Xtina stan to get involve. Not that I fear them don’t get it wrong, I can drag these b****** with my eyes closed.
Beyonce>>>
Lady gaga>>
Pink>>>
Those are my b****** mess wÍth them. You will quit commenting her basics
Congratulations Aunty Rih Rih !!!!!
Congratulations Aunty Rih Rih !!!!!
I see the same s*** is going on….the Beyhive and the Navy arguing when are they ever going to get along ???????
But we all should know that The Mrs. Carter Show would possibly outside Diamonds Tour I mean hello…..its common f****** sense.
All of Beyonce Tour have outsold Rihannas. It is just natural because Beyonce is the better performer, I doubt the Diamonds World Tour will make that much, it didn’t even get any sponsors.
And with Rihanna canceling all of these tour dates !
She probably wont outside Beyonce`s show.
And with Rihanna canceling all of these tour dates !
All? She cancelled 2 shows because of sickness. If she was able to earn 90$ with Loud Tour she will pull over 100+$ this time because she is doing 9 stadiums and her European leg is sold out.
Okay
@likica She claims she was sick Hun, but they got photo of her partying it up and she was sick yet she was on Ig on twitter..Ok. Just because you are doing stadiums doesn’t mean you will sell them out. You can request a stadium but she deosn’t sold them out. Beyonce is selling out her Arenas in 22 seconds! Kill!! If she did stadiums she would fill them up quick because the demand is high for her shows. Like in Amstedam,only 30k people got to go,when 100k were trying to get tciekts. Rihannas tour dont ever do that well,hr best tour was loud and it inly grossed 90mill,that is why no-one wants to sponsor her tour.
And the less shows rihanna do the smaller jayz pocket cash is going to be and what ever rihanna lose in canceled shows it is a good thing beyonce will more than make up for it and things will still be good.
Has Rihanna found a sponser for her tour yet?
Yes her tour mangesr is jayz and beyonce and you
all or working over time tearing that down.
lol the hive is still going on on four that s*** was released years ago and it still hasn’t sold 2 million in the us it stopped at 1.3 i dont get how yall dog rihanna for having a platinum selling album when beyonce has one too and even before she hit a million here her worldwide sales was over 2.3 million the hive needs to get over themselves and stop acting like their fave is the best album seller in the world there’s always a new artist who comes ut during her “eras” and sell plenty more than her! she’s just average
No one said beyonce is the best album sellers, shes better than Rihanna though. Thats the point when the Navy try come for her.
4 has sold 3Mill WW and was the biggest selling RnB album of 2011. It was a full out Rnb album and it went platinum in the US faster than Rihanna Unaflopegetic. Dont try that s*** Hun,her album just reached platinum after 6 months and has only sold 2.1 ww.
1.4 has not sold 3 million yet.
2.Its first single was a generic dance track not an r&B song though.
3.If it did, the fact that Unapologetic outsold 4′ 2-year-old-sales worldwide in 5-6 months with 2 ballads being singles and an urabn track put 4 even more to shame:/
4.It doesn’t matter if you reach Platinum in one month or two, it’s important that you reach it.
5.Unapologetic is close to 3 million, not 2.1. You tried though.
who cares who sold faster at the end of the day rihanna went platinum with talk that talk and unapologetic especially are still pulling in numbers! yall always make sales like its a damn race and what people sell their first week are their final sales no one gives a f*** lets see what your album sale 2 years from now and beyonce sold what is currently 2.1 million it wouldve sold less if she didnt pull that pregnancy stunt and the way she handled the album by poor single choices
Its relevant to this post, thats why people care. Rihanna took ages.
And your numbers are outdated anyway @MC
#No Tour Sponser
Dear Hive
Can you please stop being mean to my favorite employee Rihanna?
Tell them beyonce, tell them.
DWT HAS GROSSD OVER 13 MILLION!! EVERY CITY SHE HAS DONE SO FAR HAVE BEEN SOLDOUT!!! ATLANTIC CITY WAS HER RECENT SOLDOUT VENTURE!! DEAD @ THE FLEA HIVES ADDING ON DC SALES WITH BEYFRAUD!!! RIH DON’T NEED A GIRL GROUP!! ACCORDING TO MTV WIKEPEDIA VH1 RIHANNA HAS SOLD 150 MILLION RECORDS(AND COUNTING) WORLDWIDE!!!
So Beyonce sold out Revel too……
Dead!!! Do you know that the tickets for the diamonds world tour went on sale last november of 2012. Only 13 dates sold out,Lmfao. You are shading yourself there. And they add single sales to the total sales,Rihanna has yet to sell 30millWW with 7 albums. You stay reaching though,Why do you think Rihanna has no sponsos for her tour,Beyonce has already grossed 116mill
Roc nations unapologetic?Like are you serious….
But at the end of the day…Beyonce and Rihanna are both successful women in the industry so…….
OAN F** SAM….. QUEEN RIH IS WITH DEF JAM AND IT LOOKS LIKE BU(CB MANAGER) WILL BE MANAGING RIHANNA. IT LOOKS LIKE RIH WILL BE LEAVING FLOP NATION!!! OAN RIVER ISLAND CLOTHING HAVE SOLDOUT AND SHE IS NOW WORKING ON HER SECOND COLLECTION!! HOUSE OF HORRORS WILL NEVER!!
House Of Horrors! LMAO!!
Where. Onicka? brandy? Xtina? Monica? Keri? Kelly?
Atleast. Rihanna has a number 1 single and platinum album although it took her million of years. Pfft!
Hive you dont need to justify yourself against the navi, Beyonce is a better album seller than Rihanna overall everyone knows this. Shes less then 5 mill behind Rihannas sales with only 4 albums compared to Rihannas 7. Shes breaking records in countries for selling out a tour with no new music. Beyonces name and reputation alone is powerful she doesnt need 12 #1s or even new music to sell.
\LOL! Samantha even on a sunday you still shading lol. How are you gonna post on her album going platinum and not even post her pic or mention her name to congratulate her?? LOL!! Hilarious..
Rihanna will gross $100+ this tour
All kinds of wrong for putting that picture and title there lmao
Rihanna wants outs of her Roc Nation contract.
Jay Z took a nice island girl and turned her into an alcoholic drug taking wreck.
He doesn’t care about people.
She’s exhausted and he keeps sending her on tours to make money and doesn’t care about her health, he just want’s the money.
Rihanna need’s a manager that care’s about her.
Blaming Jay Z for Rihannas stupid behaviour is just lame. Jay Brown is the one who has innings in what she does anyway. Jay aint her father, hes got his own daughter, aint nobody got time to deal with an immature 25 year old.
lol. she doesn’t have a contract with roc nation. they’re only her managers. hired or coop. helping her make more money. she can fire them anytime if she thinks they doing a bad job building her up and managing her stuff. the only contract she had was with defjam records. a regular distribution deal. more about the cost and $hares of the production and the incoming ca$h selling her music big.
It does make you wonder whos running things for rihanna.
I just don’t understand the disrespect from Sam you would think Rihanna stole something from him I mean congratulate the girl and move on damn you’re obviously a fan in denial as much Rihanna s*** as you post she must be paying your bills
lol she is he knows that rihanna brings him more hit especially when he puts people against her
Beyonce and Rihanna really do run this site! The Kiiiiiis in this post though.
SAM IS THE TYPE OF BEYHIVE MEMBER I DON’T LIKE; ALWAYS BRINGING RIHANNA UP IN BEYONCE POST AND BEYONCE ALL UP I A RIHANNA POST, JUST SO HE CAN START SOME S***. ON BEHALF OF THE BEYHIVE I WANNA SAY F*** SAM, AND ALL OF US (BEYHDIVE) DONOT HATE RIHANNA. SOME OF US ACTUALLY DO LIKE HER SAM, SO STOP BEIN SO MESSY ALL THE TIME. GET OFF BEYONCE P**** FOR ONCE AND LET RIHANNA LIVE.
WITHOUT BEYONCE AND RIHANNA, SAM YOUR SITE WOULD NOT KEEP US FLOCKIN BACK AND FORTH, AND TGJ WOULDN’T BE S*** WITHOUT THEM (BEY AND RIH). ITS LIKE THEY BASICALLY PUT FOOD IN YOUR MOUTH AND PUT A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD.
November 19-now is FIVE MONTHS, not six….congrats rih! 🙂
I see a lot of y’all are MAD as usual, but what’s new???? Zzzz
Let them seethe! Alors on danse! 🙂

Kiii like 5 months makes it any better!
Lmao
I have never commented on any blog! I needed to say this to whoever this blogger is.
To the owner of this blog…It’s absolutely shameful and absurd that you promote divisiveness and hatred in the Black community. Why do you and most of your audience thrive and perpetuate hatred?
My question to you and some of your emotionally imbalance followers is, what is wrong in having more than one Black entertainer on top? Is there a written rule that states you must bash one in order to uplift one?
I love Beyonce, Rihanna, Ciara, Ashanti, Keyshia Cole, Kelly Rowland, etc… In order words, I love all Black entertainers. My wish is for all of them to be on top of their music game and other endeavours they pursue. They all don’t have to have a “Whitney Hudson (R.I.P), Jhud, and Mariah Carey’s voice”, I particularly will find it boring if they all had the same voice and dancing styles. Let them each be their own persons.
The white community are logical enough to want to dominate every aspect of music and acting cultures by supporting their own. Why can’t the Black community do the same?
You are extremely unprofessional and very emotive to constantly want to bash and belittle Black entertainers and their achievement, no matter how small.
Most people try to pursue their dreams (in different industries) and work hard to achieve it. Rihanna is not a saint (no one is) but she is living the dream she dreamt of as a child. Her music and her achievements may not be to your liking but she does have an audience that is buying her music.
Learn to remove your emotions from the situation and just report as an anthropologist would. If you don’t like Rihanna but feels the need to report about her, all you had to say was “Rihanna’s unapologetic goes platinum” and leave it at that. Why belittle her success? Unapologetic is hers. Weather she wrote the music or not, is the not the question. Rihanna recorded those songs and executed the ideas. Stop being too emotional and use logic!!!
When you have a tool such as a blog and have decent traffic, you should use it to promote togetherness, love and peace instead of divisiveness and hatred.
Promote inclusiveness because there is already too much hatred in the world, particularly towards Black people.
Enough of the hatred, you should not perpetuate cyber bullying, use the platform you have to bring beauty into the world!
Wow that was some REAL s*** the only people that will disagree with this is Sam & the rest of the ignorant hive that stays kissing his ass
I respect this comment alot best comment on here
I wonder how this person you call Sam sleeps at night, knowing that he or she foster a community of hatred and divisiveness?
One thing is clear, consumers have power.
When you visit this site and others, you are paying to do so via your internet connection. IF you all speak out and condemn this kind of behaviour instead of participating in it, they will listen, especially when its starts hurting their pockets! Just ask Rick Ross!
You may not be able to appeal to the logical side of this blogger but you can call him/her to uphold their profession with almost integrity. One way to do that is by gathering people together to sign an e-petition calling for a bycott. Another way is to write to their advertisers of how they are perpetuating hatred and bullying in the fabric of society.
Consumers have the power and you are one of them!!!
This spilled the tea and its steaming hot and is the
fiyah that many need to know. There are more than two artist in the game of music and they all deserves a chance to be the best they can be.
If youre willing to take action, im in.
You guys really don’t like Rihanna, huh……lol
like not a bit?
the girl can save a child from a building that’s on fire, and people will still bash her!
Why can’t people just say good job and move on! any other singer would been amazing, but since rihanna is always shade!
yall act like rihanna f*** yall man or something! we aleast sam do!
LMAOOOO SIX months?? 🙂 🙂
#1 single and other successful selling singles, yet she’s just now reaching PLATINUM! Kiiiiiii
Honey if this aint proof that she’s a SINGLES artiste, i dont know what is!The mothafuckin STRUGGLE! 🙂 🙂 🙂
But your fave dont even have a single or an album out, now that the mothafuckin STRUGGLE!
“im a WASHED woman”
Kiiii nice try…your only shade is that my Queen doesnt have a single out?! Kiiiiiiii
Not everyone feels the need to ANNUALLY release subpar generic repetitive garbage to get a #1 single…its MUCH deeper than that to QUEEN CARTER! 😉
That’s just in the USA honey. What about France, Germany, the Uk, Italy, Spain? Has 4 been certified in those countries beside the UK? :/ It is not even 23xPlatinum in the Uk after 2 years, while Unapologetic went in less than 5 months.
Don’t act like your fav is a huge album seller when she has yet to outsell Brtiney’s baby one More time album with all her album discography combined 😉
2xPlatinum*
I don’t consider 4 a flop though, but are the USA sales the most important thing. Worldwide <<< The USA. You all act like Unapologetic is done but it is not, she will release more singles from it. Right Now will be the next single.
Yes, she is singles queen but Beyonce is average both at albums/singles. 😉 Don't singles make part of record sales? Yes. So, what's your point? Beyonce has sold more singles than albums as well so is she a singles artist? Pretty much like everyone else in the game beside Adele xD
And where did S****** come from! Lmaoooooo i can care less about her sales…..yeah she slayed back in her day! Kiiii
Im not here for you comparing a “white” t*** bubble gum pop star’s sales to Bey’s…of course they will be better! The reach! Have a bed bxtch…YOU’RE TIIIIIIRED! ZZZZZZ KII
Ofc you will not because Britney puts her to shame. It’s not like Beyonce’s music is deep and meaningful too. She has some good songs but her discography is wekaer than Britney’s. Stripped wasn’t as generic as DIL and it was bigger seller than it as well. Let Go was a pop/rock album, less generic than DIL and it did better as well. :/
Kiiiii see you bxtches are missing my point…. I know 4 wasnt the Queens best selling album,
yet it still sold close to 3 million WW with NO hit singles! Went platinum in US within six weeks and is slaying a world tour with this so called “flop ” album! #SHADE
But Rihject takes 10 years to get to platinum with THREE hits from UNA! KIII
SINGLES BXTCH! #THEEND 😉
I don’t consider 4 a flop though, but are the USA sales the most important thing. Worldwide <<< The USA. You all act like Unapologetic is done but it is not, she will release more singles from it. Right Now will be the next single.

Rihject has 100 albums tho compared to Beyonce’s 4…. Shouldnt Rihanna’s sales be atleast 20 million ahead of Bey’s?? Bey sales more albums as a whole versus a few ringtones kiiiii
The only average seller i see is Rihject! Kiiii
11 #1s with album sales that dont match! What a MESS! 😉
Both are gurl, both are. Beyonce was known when she released her 1st album. But looking back in the past, her debut album with DC flopped as hard as Music of The Sun. A Girl Like Me did pretty decent, 3.5-4 million for a one-hit-wonder. Then came GGGB which is bigger than any era of your fav and then all Hive began hating on Rihanna.
Beyonce is a better album seller than Rihanna but she is average as well. Rihanna would sell more if she didn’t release an album a year and if all of her eras had 2343543556 singles like Beyonce’s (MOTS has just 2/AGLM 4,while first 2 Bey albums had 10 + COI/WIO and FT). Loud has sold almost 6 million in a year and 2-3 months.
But Rihanna really slays her when it comes to singles. I mean, Crazy In Love is still struggling to get 2xPlatinum certification and it was #1 single while Pon de replay reached #2 and it is already 2xPlatinum. Such a shame. :/
You need to learn that while sales are good, they are not reflection of everything. Crazy in Loves impact>>>>>> Pon De Replay baby. That song does not need all these certificates to be recognised as one of the biggest songs of the 00s. And now you wanna bring DC into it? I thought that didn’t count towards anything Beyonce. Convenient much. Because just because you come out of group and are known does not guarantee you debut solo success.
Kiiii Rihanna could sale more albums than Beyonce if she didnt release every year? LIEEEEEESSSS
thats the reason she releases every year because her albums start to lose momentum and interest after about six to 7 months after release
….so then she changes her hair color and throw an album together real quick! STOP IT! Kiiiiiii
CRAZY IN LOVE >>> pon the replay… I mean who even remembers that mess?! Girl just stop! 🙂 🙂
And you could uses that same theory with Rihanna singles since some Beyoncé singles such as Halo and If were a boy have gone 2x platinum over some Rihanna #1s. So it swings both ways.
excuse my typo, whether and not weather!
KIIIII at this Navy Twin/Really/Mentions forgetting to change their gravatar. YOU ARE NOT A NAVY, UNA HAS NOT BEEN IN STORES FOR SIX MONTHS NOR HAS IT SOLD 2.1 MILLION WW. Gtfoh here you Hive loser lmaoooo
5 MONTHS & 2.9M WW 😆
I don’t why you are talking when you’ve been exposed for forgetting to change your name aswell kiiiii!
OMG THE SHADE! LOOOOL!
Sams shady ways will be the downfall of this site… Lets see were this site will be in 3years.
So basically Sam you are saying that the album would have done this well if any random was singing the songs? good luck with that hater, I don’t know when your delusion will end, it’s really sad.

SPREAD LOVE NOT HATRED!!!
B**** you know your fat ass done commented on this black plenty of times stop the b******* h**!
You don’t have to believe whether I have never commented or not. I detest the B word so please reserve it for yourself.
Spread love not hatred!! Remove your emotion and be logical!!
Blessings to you and hope you find balance in your thinking!
@Pro Unity
I read the comments and there has not been a comment posted with this level of truth to it that i can say i have ever read here are on any blog. The hate is something that is always stated about more then love. Love is what make the world go around, and hate makes things stay in one place and not get a chance to reach your full ability of the work that each do for their careers are in the ordinary people who work hard for their money.
@Pro Unity
Spread Love Not Hate.
babe, half of the commenters on this site are angry teenagers who probably don’t get any love at home, so they live their lives vicariously through these artists. it’s funny sometimes, but sometimes its absolutely pathetic.
I hate when people think that only black people knock black people down…I been on plenty of white dominated websites to see that even white people knock white people down…It has nothing to do with race, or the color of the skin people will knock people down no matter what so stop this crabs in the barrel bull crap! People love different things, it has everything to do with taste, and matter of preference! I don’t support every black person simply because i am black, i support them based on matter of preference so people get over yourself! I feel like that’s just a way to trap people, telling them they have to support
something because of skin color alone!
Black people do belittle their own more than any other race! FACT (with statistics. You do not have to believe me, just do the research)!
I am not saying white blogs do not cyber bully their own sometimes but this horrendous behaviour (whether perpetuated by white or black) is particularly prevalent in Black blogs!
The owner of this blog can have a house rule of no offensive comments; instead he or she is the one perpetuating the divisiveness.
With regards to taste and support for Black artists. You do not have to support every black artists financially by buying their music, support them by not cyber bullying them and belittling their achievements or not. You do not have to knock down Beyonce, to uplift Rihanna, vice versa. If Beyonce, Rihanna, Ciara, Kerry etc is your taste, then support them but do not belittle others just because you do not support them. Less emotion, more logic. Spread love, not hatred!
Too much hatred in the world already, spread love!
The rule of no Offensive wording would be great because it make no kind of sense all of the cursing people do to try and get their point over , because it does not take all of that .
I say let them belittle each other all they want them all want to just don’t let the fowl cursing and swearing go on it is bad and it is wrong on all levels.
🙄 @ SASS my comments are being held I’m not even copying and pasting anymore bisch. Next! 😆
Why are you h*** from others fanbases shading Rih? She’s selling more than your faves and yet you have the guts to come here comment. Watch Rih keep winning as your faves can’t put an album out.
Congrats to her….
The Queen is WINNING, gold & platinu singles with NO promotion, 2.9 million albums ww
& Una has still outsold 4orgotten in ww sales 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
*platinum 🙂 🙂
Im not a fan of either Beyonce or Rihanna but this is a blog guys they will support and shade whover they want. Sam is notorious for shading Rihanna just like there are other blogs that shade Beyonce, its part of the package. They are not here to be politically correct all the time thats why they are BLOGS. Nobodys forcing you to visit and give them hits ijs. Rihanna and Beyonce know damn well there are sites that will shade because of thei status and I am sure they dont give a s***, it doesnt affect their success because at the end of it, its all promo. No its not nice, but its media.
I totally agree with you but people will thumb you down, because they hate the truth! They don’t seem to know what a blog is…F*** why come on here? Go read wiki!
Exactly! They complain but when truth be told TGJ would not be TGJ without the shade!
Sam just kill ur self already. Swallow bleach and choke.
Mmmm ok, now where is beyonce’s diamond certification, if she is regarded as the greatest why she never had diamond sales?
And why is this site posting random thiefonce songs, LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo It’s not gonna happen.#TRY-HARD.
I just watched two navy members arguing about being real Stans. Lmao.
What baffles me is the fact that Rihanna has STANS. Like that one Kim kardashian Stan
On this site…what has she done to deserve stans? Give lazy performances, drinking and partying,
Pretending to care about her fans and rehearse for shows…she doesn’t have the strong work ethic like Beyonce does
Or else it would show live. How pathetic. I can understand Gaga, MJ, Mariah Carey, Miguel, etc having Stans tho.
The point is Rihanna ain’t exceptionally talented enough for STANS. So just why don’t u be a fan
And stop embarrassing urself. She’ll never be as great as u idiots make her to be.
I’m sorry Navi but this post is hilarious. That big ass Jay Z picture had me dying.
Rihanna don’t promote her album pass the first week. once the album is out its like she’s finish with it . she don’t promote the singles she does videos for the pop song ,but none for the RNB. she don’t go on late night talk show to perform. had she done all of the above,” her album would sell more. I think she looking at it and said, most of the money from album sales goes to the record label so why should i stress my self”.
name the last black artist that went platinum?. Black artist don’t really go platinum. anytime a black artist goes platinum its an achievement
Black artists do go platinum…. Black artists that have gone platinum in the last 2 yrs
1. ALICIA KEYS ( PLATINUM WORLDWIDE) & GOLD IN U.S.
2. DRAKE – 2 platinum in US alone
3. NICKI MINAJ – platinum worldwide
4. LIL WAYNE – platinum in 2 weeks
5. KENDRICK LAMAR ( 2012 debut CD sold 800,000 IN US) & still on charts selling
6. Beyonce – 4 is platinum
7. Emile Sande in UK sold over 1 million
8.Jayz & Kanye WTT is platinum
9. Rihanna — platinum in US anad multiplat wordwide
GOLD CDs in last year
2 chainz
TI
Wiz Khalifah
There were only ELEVEN ALBUMS that went platinum in the US in 2012… and that is with ALL GENRES in the US. Music is not selling in any genre…to go gold is a BIG deal in 2012/2013.
YASSS RIH

Wow this has got to be the most shady post to date! Sam your ass is bad! I see you’ve made em’ seethe aswell.
First off rocnation is her management not her label! She is Jay-z boss! She can replace him easily! To the navy stop arguing with the hive they can’t take away her accomplishment.yeah ok she does have more albums but she has also accomplished just as much in less time tho! And without the platform off a girl band behind her. All but one of her albums are platinum and she has broken some records! Yes she may change her image before every album but they are very much different.she had managed to do all this with lack luster performances,as the hive say, with mediocre voice but it’s able to gross $90 million tour! So let them shade the fact that all her success with all the not so good things they shouldn’t even critique anyone.to then it’s bad but hey with all the negative s*** they come with she the only person on beyonce level as far as black female artist.so they should ask themselves if this ids their fav only competition just how great can their fav be?
That is great for her, although one would think that she should have went platinum much faster seeing as she the most twitter followers, facebook friends, and YouTube views. Nevertheless, her success, when she rarely gets it, is just another check in the Carter’s billion+ dollar pockets.
Ohhh,and death at the fact that Chris Brown’s father hates this b****, and wants him to date Jordan Sparks because according to him “She’s a wholesome young lady, very pretty,”
But Chris Browns father isn’t even in his life, so his opinion is uhhh….invalid.
That’s how you know jay-z is an ugly man, When you put on a damn suit, and tie and still look like you belong on a damn box of cigarettes ewwww…
Jay Z will always be higher than Rihanna in that hierarchy. He was the one who signed her in the first place, she will always be indebted to him to some extent. Yall will have to deal.
@ My Forehead tho:
death at the fact that Chris Brown’s father hates this b****, and wants him to date Jordan Sparks because according to him “She’s a wholesome young lady, very pretty,”
ROTFL!
This is good considering the fact that my Caribbean queen releases an album every year, back to back with no breaks.I don’t see any black woman beating the pop queen in sales this year. And it’s hilarious that the HIVS want to come at Rihanna when their fat ugly crooked nose fav hasn’t had a hit since “NoSingleLadies” When was the last time you saw Ci-error on the relevant charts?? I know people who think these bytches retired.
Kiiiii funny that my fave hasnt had a #1 since single ladies but her tour can outsell a bxtch with numerous generic hits! Show up to perform EVERY night AND SLAY! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
That jug head anorexic c*** could NEVER! kiiiii
THE STRUGGLE!!! BXTCHES HAVE TO RELEASE AN ALBUM EVERY YEAR JUST TO KEEP UP! 🙂
QUEEN Carter hasnt even released a full song yet and she has still the #1 topic of 2013! 😉
Try again Bxtch! _/
And once again she rips off an entire song to score a hit 😉 Someone lacks originality. And please, how is Rihanna’s music generic when most of her songs are urban just like your favs? It’s not like Beyonce doesn’t have generic dance songs like Sweet Dreams/Radio/Why Don’t You Love Me.
The fact that she said that B Day was made just in two weeks :/
Anyway, enjoy it. Maybe the melody is going to be familiar to your ears? 😉

Girl STFU! 98% of Rihject’s music is simple and genrric…Rude boy WMN, POU IT UP, S&M,…..she doesnt have many heartfelt songs that she actually SINGS! KIIII I think you get my point 😉
Beyonce has dance songs as well but is well known for her ballads and vocal ability hence the 17 grammys! ;)(see: DIL, HALO, I CARE , START OVER, 1+1, irreplaceable, Listen, IIWB ETC…..Bey has real talent kiiiii
Hun i didnt even waste my precious time clicking that link!When did it become illegal to sample?? Kiiii bxtch you better scramble and search through youtube to TRY and shade Bey #pathetic
Russian Roulette/Stay/Cry/Fire Bomb/Photographs/Unfaithful/Final Goodbye/A Million Miles Away/California King Bed/Cold Case Love/Take a Bow disagree 😉 What about Diva, Deja Vu, Crazy In Love, Check On It, Single Ladies, Naughty Girl, Baby Boy, Ring The Alarm and etc.? All are generic R&B/urban songs. Rated R is more critically acclaimed than any Bey’s album.
Ofc you wouldn’t listen to it since you know that she is lacking originality once again. Hell even her biggest hit crazy In Love was a sample. :/
GIRRRL it took you all night to research the songs and finally respond?! Kiiii
And STILL 80% of the songs you named are still generic and went NOWHERE! The only people who know those songs are her stans kiiiii
nobodys here for “singing” Rihanna…only club music! 😉 #sorry
what was the point of you naming all those Bey songs, clearly i stated earlier that she’s made dance songs!
;)…….
And all of her #1s have spent more weeks at #1 and made more of an impact than ANY Rihject song you named!
Lastly, whats the point of you saying CIL was a sample, like that will erase any impact it made! Kiiii
Thats like me saying Rihject was trying to rip off MJ with Dont stop the Music KIIIIII!
Hun i didnt click on the link because Beyonce using a sample is IRRELEVANT to me, a Rihject stan calling anyone “unoriginal” is the big KIII of the night! (FEFE DOBSON WANNABE, MADONNA WANNABE, AND lets not forget who she swagger jacked 1st! 😉 have a good night c***!
Actually her stans are here for her ballads, you see Diamonds and Stay? Rihanna ballads are not generic. If they are, so are Beyonce’s. They slayyyyy. Aren’t all of Beyonce’s #1s uptempo songs? Crazy In Love, Baby Boy, Single Ladies, hell even Irreplaceable is not completely a ballad..? How come that most of Rihanna albums are more critically acclaimed than Bey’s?
Her songs spent more weeks but Rihanna #1s easily outsell them, even her top 10s singles. All her #1s went at least 2xPlatinum. Is Crazy in Love there, Baby Boy, still struggling to get there?
Rihanna has never sampled an entire song like Beyonce did, she just samples some parts of them. So Don’t Stop The Music is not a complete rip off. And talking about impact, I don’t think so. Umbrella made bigger cultural impact than any of your fav’s songs. We Found Love is there too. Even if Rihanna had the best song in the world you would never give her credit for that. There is not a music competition without at least 2 Rihanna’s songs. So spare me that b******* that her music is generic and forgettable when that is not true. She may have some generic songs but so does your fav, what’s a big deal?
Wasn’t Beyonce sued so many times for plagirism, copying and lying about writing credits? If Rihanna is a Madonna wannabe, Beyonce is a Tina Turner wannabe. I prefer to be the most successful female artist of all time than the average one. As you can see many people try to copy Rihanna and her sound, you have Rita Ora, Paige Thomas, Willow Smith etc. I can assure you that she is the biggest star in my country and that all singers here are copying her fashion, especially hairstyle and sound.
I don’t hate Beyonce at all, but you need to be realistic and stop shading Rihanna when your fav and her are the biggest black starts in the game. Bey’s stans were first to come to this post and bash Rihanna and how long it took her to get Platinum and calling her album a flop despite outselling your favs last album in 5 months and still charting very well in all countries. If Rihanna is a singles artist, so is Beyonce. Aren’t like 70% of her total records sold singles and 30% albums? Yeah, so? An album artist is someone like Mariah Carey, Madonna, Whitney Houston, people who sold more albums and singles. Rihanna and Beyonce are not among them, sorry. Have a nice time 😉
but TGJ fave Nicki Garbaj’s album has been out for over a year and still aint platinum, even with a re-release.
HA! Better late than never I guess!
why does it matter how long it takes someone go platinum? going platinum is so rare these days. the bickering is silly. congrats to rihanna!!!!
That’s right b****, make my Queen that money.
This is a PLATNUM album. Certified Platinum while a couple thousand sway from scanning 1 million copies…. not certifed Platinum at sales of 600k…
SAM YOU MAKE THE BEYHIVE LOOK BAD. NOT ALL OF US ARE HATEFUL SCUM LIKE YOU, WHO ARE OBSESSED W/ RIHANNA’S SUCCESS. BOTH RIHANNA AND BEYONCE DO THEIR THING AND THEY’ARE BOTH GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO. IF YOU DON’T LIKE RIHANNA THATS FINE BUT APPARENTLY YOU LIKE THE MONEY SHE HELPS PUT IN YOUR WALLET ASWELL AS BEYONCE. WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING AND YOUR NOT SLICK. ALWAYS HAVE TO START A STAN WAR FOR SOME ATTENTON #LAME!
Shade fest!
Congrats Queen Rihanna!!! Each year a platinum album!!!
That Rihanna Reign…!!!!!!!
Keyshia Cole’s album came out the same day, where’s her plat? Where Brandy’s? Where’s Chris Brown? Ushers? And for the Hive, when will Bey get another top 10? Or #1? Ciara stand (all three of you) when will Ciara do ANYTHING? Rita Ora olny sold a million with singles and album combined? Nice try, but when will she get a platinum hit or album. Congrats to Rihanna on her 6th platinum album + 1 gold album.
Platinum is platinum. Go RiRi!!
So tacky.
She’s loose
