actually, rihanna released 3 albums in 2 years, just so you know. music of the sun = 2 million, a girl like me = 4 million and gggb = 9 million, which equals 15 million albums

britneys first album "baby one more time" sold more than 8 million in the us in 1999. what do you think the number was worldwide a year later? alot bigger than gaga id guess.

as for beyonce: "The Writing's on The Wall was certified 8x platinum by the RIAA on November 6, 2001" - Destiny's child's second album. And thats just the US

but okay, i see your point. never said gaga aint big, and i am also glad 4 her.
riri, britney and beyonce have also alot of awards and honors.
