@ROBERT you went INNNN!

& Dammme so what if she did not sell a million in the USA!
so are you trying to say for you to be a succefull artist you need to sell a million in the usa pshhhh plzz SIT you azz down!!
Just because she did not sell a million in the usa don't mean she is a flop..The U.S.A don't even support rihanna as much as Europe does! so I'm not suprised ...

I have respect for Alicia as a musician, I don't know what things she ha sbeen getting up to in her personal life jumping in bed with a married man but that is her personal life so im not going to judge... Alicia keys has been out longer so you cannot compare the two but Rated R still out sold Element of freedom so lets not go there.. Rihanna is a singles artist so she will always be top of the charts..Albums dont sell like they used to do anyways so album sells dont mean nothing really.!
