Beyonce records only 3 albums solo and rihanna 5 !!! and she still can beat Beyonce’s albums sales no matter what you say, all yur number, all her 1#s ^^ If you were in the industry for 13 years wouldn't you be doing that too.? Realistically beyonce's fan base have been growing for 13 years, I would think she Should outsell rihanna. But in 5 years, Rihanna have held her own enough for people to always be comparing her to the veteran. So that's great for Rihanna!!
