Though it may be hard for some to believe (or accept), single’s Queen Rihanna has never enjoyed the sweet joy of having a #1 album in the United States.
Yes, while many of the singles she has released over the years have gone straight to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, none of her albums- rather surprisingly- have ever sold enough copies in their first week of release to secure her a position atop the Billboard 200.
With her latest album ‘Talk That Talk’ due out tomorrow, we want you to weigh in.
Do you think Ms Fenty will ever release a #1 album?
In this universe?
no
MJB will go straight to #1 so TTT will fail again.
YALL ARE DOING THE MOST. SMH
Yes I am not a fan but I think she will beat Mary.
Talk That Talk = The best album by Black Female Singer to-date.
Rihanna rules!!!
She’s THE BEST
Mary will sell 3 times what she will sell.
it’s a fact that Rihanna is the best black female singer in history.
We Found in Love with you Rihanna!!! 😀

BOW DOWN TO THE PERRYLICIOUS… (THE QUEEN OF TGJ)
_______________________________________________________
Hi Ho’ ! 🙂
im sure this time around her album will go to #1. (;
as if it matters to her fans and herself !!
when she can triple your fav’s supposedly – greatest album , u know #1 albums in US doesn’t matter !
TTT rocks !!
*plays watch ‘n’ learn*
😉
yes C**** , i’m back ! u missed me h*** 😉 ?! 😛
LMFAO ! we gonna talk that talk all night this era !!
LMAOOOOOO
MJB will outsell her on the first day of the release !
Checking preorders and she got Mary beat.
I’m sire this album will debut at #1.
Honestly, Rihanna will slay, #RihannaNavy is the best fan base.
Mary J. Blige has fans? No? EXACTLY
*Flips Hair*
____________________________________________________________
TGJ i will be BACK LATER, specially on NEXT MONDAY to LAUGH IN Y’ALL faces cuz y’all shadin’ Queen Rihanna.
#TalkThatTalk 1M In First Week !
^_______________________________^
Even though TTT is probably her worst album to date…I think she has a pretty good shot at getting her 1st #1. It really is a show down between her and Mary. So idk. Mary has a very solid fan base but 2010 n 2011 have been so good to Riri I’ll be shocked if she doesn’t go number 1. Guess we’ll see.
I kno the rihanna stans like to b******* themselves sayin its not about number one albums its the long run .. well first of all let me jus say having the most number one singles and to only hav 2 OUT OF 5 albums sell over 5 million copies and no not jus in the US ww is not something to really brag about wen we look at her peers chart histories (britney,beyonce,gaga,christina) who all have at least one diamond album .. I’m srry there has always been something off to me about rihannas career .. It almost feels like she’s a nice shiny package that looks amazing on the outside but when ur open her up its completely empty .. I duno maybe the navy will support like they say they will (they said that with loud tho soo hmmm) .. but hey I really hope she gets a top spot debut because again to hav 11 number singles and 6 NON number one albums can only be summed up as a hot ass mess LOL
Well given that Rihanna is not American. I don’t see it as a big deal especially since she goes on to outsell those that do see F.A.M.E, as an example. It’s odd that she hasn’t but this proves that her music sells itself and its not just the stans who buy in the first week that gives Riri her sells.
Wait there are people in this world who actually believe that Rihanna is the #1 female singer of all time. hahahahahahahahahah
holy smokes. thats hilarious. Especially with 5 albums , none have gone number 1. LOL… Did you here those terrible vocals on X factor… hahahahahah WTF.
When Rihanna gets 16 grammys and 4 #1 albums. we can talk
Who knows?
Mary just may sneak up on Rihanna. Her fanbase is solid.
My guess for the Billboard 200
#1 Drake 320-350K
#2 Nickleback 300-320K
#3 MJB 250-300K
#4 Rihanna 200-250K
#5 Michael Bubble 200-250k
But I bet yall Rihanna will be #1 WORLDWIDE.
Rihanna was never a local gal.
FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @HONEY_DIP11 I FOLLOW BACK!
@crave12 I couldn’t agree more .. Its insane to me she hasn’t been able to do it I mean her first two albums were jus terrible and shouldn’t even have been released but from gggb on .. especially rated r which she sold for 3.99 during the biggest shoppin week of the year in the US .. I think she has a good shot with talk that talk although NO ONE could of told me loud wouldn’t debut at number one being proceeded by TWO number one singles so I duno we shall see ..
Brandy never gota #1 album, neither did Aaliyah (when she was alive).
So Rihanna will be ok as long as she sells in the long run as she always does.
If her album is being sold for .99 and her singles are $1.29. There is your answer.
mary WHO 😯 ?!
SHE EVEN HAS NO HYPE !!
EVERYONE LISTEN TO TTT SNIPPETS AND ASK FOR MORE !!
MARY WHO h*** ?!! 😆
we are in 2011 , not in 1999 !!! 😛
GET YOUR COPY OF ttt BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE !!
LMAO at the rihannas stans trying to downplay the US when it comes to album sales but wen it comes to the US hot 100 its ALLLLLLL about The United States hhahaha comedy .. Anyway marys gna grab this without a doubt .. she has a core fanbase that goes beyond itunes and digital downloads
lmao @ Music fan
Actually, we talk a lot about WFL being #1 on the WW charts too. And Rihanna have more worldwide #1 than any female artists in history other than Madonna.
Worldwide >>>>>>>>>>> USA.
That is a fact and u will deal.
No Rihanna will not take the #1 spot…Mary J has been known to do BIG numbers without having successful singles. I can not see Rihanna beating out Mary J. But do I believe the album will sell absolutely. She’ll do 200,000 + only due to the holiday season.
@POP royalty umm mary hasn’t debutted with lower than 300k in a decade .. U may not be familiar with 300K seeing as rihanna has never come close .. Hun marys fanbase goes out to the STORES not download from the comfort of their own home .. Rihanna will be lucky for a top 3 debut MARK MY WORDS
@POP ROYALT (RUDE BOY)
LOL!!!
EVERYBODY KNOWS I AM A HARDCORE RIHANNA STAN ALSO – BUT CORRECTION – MARY’S LAST ALBUM SOLD BECAME HER 1ST ALBUM SIMCE 2002 NOT TO DEBUT @ #1 BECAUSE OF SUSAN BOYLE – AND IT STARTED @ 400.000 COPIES + … EVERY ALBUM PRIOR TO THAT BLASTED STRAIGHT IN @NO. 1
SO…
WHEN YOU SAY “MARY WHO H***” – WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN???????
@truthteller so when the navy are constantly throwing around her 11 number singles r they talkin about the us or ww?? I’m confused now LOL
Tbh I don’t think so! Drake will get infront of here! I love the album but I don’t think so! Rihanna makes good music but no one cares about buying an album just a single! Which is sad she diserves one for sure tbh she’s worked hard!!
Video review of the album coming: http://www.youtube.com/yurgesBitch 🙂
MAR J BLIDGE IS OFFICIALLY AN ALBUMS ARTIST!!!
IN HER 16 YEAR CAREER, SHE HAS ONLY HAD “FOUR” TOP FIVE SINGLES CHART ON THE HOT 100…….
#2 – NOT GON’ CRY – 1996
#1 – FAMILY AFFAIR – 2001
#3 – NO MORE DRAMA – 2002
#3 – NO MORE DRAMA – 2002
AND SHE HAS NEVER DEBUTED ON THE BB200 WITH SALES LOWER THATN 350K+ COPIES!!!
SO WHY IS THEIR HATE TOWARDS MARY??? SHE WILL SLAY. AGAIN.
of course rihanna doesn’t have any number one albums she sucks lol ppl need to hear at least 3 songs before deciding to invest their hard earned money in rihanna .. her name is linked with quality which is why ppl NEVER run out for a rihanna album .. When ppl buy her albums they aren’t buyin an album they’re buying some singles they like
Also by the Way Rihanna Navy…Rihanna will NOT beat Drake’s 3rd week sells….
nah I think Drake and Mary are gonna beat her. Sorry rih rih 🙁 maybe next time LMFAOOO
I like Rihanna, but I still hope Mary is snatching that #1 spot! #TEAMMJB!
@greg I’ve never heard it summed up so clearly .. Rihannas name isn’t linked with quality .. I feel like rihanna sells albums on the back of the casual listener of radio not a strong core fanbase (which easily explains her affinity for chart topping singles yet her album sales fall flat 3 out 5 times)
Mary and drake for 1 and 2 .. rihanna will be lucky if michael doesn’t beat her for 3
Talk That Talk is her best second album after Rated R, it’s like part 2, the album is great, this girl only gets better, i’m in love with Where Have You Been, Drunk on Love, We All Want Love, Farewell, Birthday Cake, Watch ‘n’ Learn, the whole album is awesome, i love the dubstep sounds, the only thing missing on the album was a song ala Rude Boy but the rest is just perfect.
@POP ROYALTY
That’s not true at all. Mary’s duet with Bey is buzzing all over the place. I’m surprised at that, but don’t lie because you want Rihanna to succeed. That’s a legend who likes Rihanna that you are talking slick about. (F***** Stans!) Mary was trending all over the place yesterday—so I’ll hold you to that.
As far as Rihanna scoring a number one album this time, I think she has a really good chance. She’s got a single that’s smashing, and a pretty strong number two single. No one that’s in her lane is releasing an album at this time, so she’s getting it in. I think she may very well her get first number one album. She could easily get one if she released it on an off week, but she wouldn’t sell as much in the long run. THINK ABOUT THAT SAM. It’s not a big deal that she doesn’t have a #1 album. It’s more serious that she doesn’t have a #1 album in COMPETITION with other artists.
the way the navy has been going at every other artist in the industry these past few months that b**** had BETTER debut at number one with higher first week sales than beyonce, britney, katy perry (gaga is not gna happen) and basically every chick in the industry or the week after next I’m going to go IN!! LOL
i think the only reason why its always pointed out that she has no number in the US is because her biggest feat till date is her 11 number 1s in the US, she doesn have that many no1s anywhere else so its like if u wan talk that talk when it comes to singles , can u do the same for albums. if it no 1 album in US doesnt matter, surely no 1 singles shouldnt either. her latest 3 albums have been released around the holidays for the sales rush but thing is other artists eye that prize too, if she released in the summer, she may get a number 1 album but her 1st week sales wont be as good
if TTT does as well or better than loud, then 1st week sales is a non-factor in her career but if it sells like her 1st 2 albums, then Rih is a confirmed singles artist with hit or miss albums. im watching this space
@TEACHER
hi …. in advance
OK SO…IMMA SAY THIS….
AND BEFORE I START~ I LOVE BOTH LADIES SO RIH STANS *FALL BACK !!
I ONLY HAVE ONE QUESTION….
I READ TGJ ON A DAILY BASIS, AND EVERYTIME I READ A RIHANNA POST..IT SEEMS THAT (SOME) OF HER FANS..SEEM TO THINK THAT SHE “SLAYS” BEYONCE AND THAT BEYONCE NEEDS TO ” SIT DOWN “…
NOW AGAIN..IM ON #TEAMBOTHLADIES!…
BUT !!…
HOW IN THE HELL CAN YOU SAY THAT RIHANNA IS A BETTER ENTERTAINER THAN BEYONCE , WHEN RIH ( WE FOUND LOVE IS THE JAM )…HASNT EVEN HAD A NUMBER ONE YET ??…
AND I PROMISE YOU I HAVE ASKED MYSELF THIS QUESTION TIME AND TIME AGAIN ??…..
SO HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO ANSWER THAT FOR ME~~
AND YES I KNOW..RIHANNA HAS A LOT OF SINGLES..BUT IF YOU ADD THEM UP,,WOUDNT THAT EQUAL AN ALBUM ANYWAY ??…JUST SAYING..
ALSO I LOVE ( YOU DA ONE )…BUT I PLAY BEYONCE’S 4 ALBUM DAILY..SONG AFTER SONG….
THE ONLY ALBUM I CAN LISTEN TO WITHOUT SKIPPING FOR RIHANNA IS “RATED R “…
SORRY FOR THE RANT..LOL, BUT JUST MY TAKE ON THE WHOLE RIH / BEY ..STAN WAR…YOU CAN ANSWER NOW…ILL WAIT..
#HANGITUPFLATSCREEN
Loud, Rated R, GGGB, AGLM didn t start as big as Mary’s 2 last albums in the USA; but they end u outselling them.
So she’ll be alright.
@Musicfan,
Whydo u act like we don’t also talk about how Riri is the queen of the UK.
And how many times have I posted the entire list of countries where WFL hit #1.
WORLWIDE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> USA
That is a fact that u just can’t deny and u will deal.
YESSSSS You guys Better build anticipation for your QUEEN Rihanna!!! I expect at least four more articles related to Rihanna over the next 24 hours! More PROMO please
*NUMBER ONE ALBUM.. RIHANNA HAS NOT HAD A NUMBER ONE ALBUM …MY BAD..LOL
GEEZ DID I REALLY TYPE THAT MUCH??
I GUESS I NEEDED TO GET THAT OUT
Loud started with 207K in the USA & yet it went out to outsell Drake’s Thank Me Later, Kanye’s dARK tWISTED fANTASY, Beyonce’S 4…
Rihanna will be just fine.
@devo I genuiely think most beyonce stans like some of rihannas music because its catchy .. Ur gna be humming it as some point BUT the issue arises in the stan-ness .. When the rihanna stans start sayin rihanna is better than beyonce as an entertainer and is the best chick to do it that’s when even I as a beyonce fan who likes some of rihannas music gets a lil like ummmmm what!?! If the rihanna stans can jus admit no one touches beyonce performance wise in THIS generation and the bey stans can admit that rihanna does have some good music it would be a lot less hectic .. then again blogs would prob start shutting down LOL ..
YES! #6 will be her 1st #1 album! She really has no competition! As far as iTunes is concerned she is the highest Pre-order on there!
I hope Mama Fenty provided Rihanna with some voodoo ointment because this time It’s hers to lose, especially since we’re in an area where random (white) acts I’ve NEVAH heard of hit that #1 spot.
Mary J coming at #2 would not tarnish her legacy. She will forever be the Queen of Hip Hop Soul.
But if Rih-Rih misses the spot AGAIN, I KNOW we’ll have jokes for months here on TGJ.
@truthteller the fact that u and rihanna stans compare loud to 4 .. Maybe some of u can’t tell time because loud is approaching being out for year and 4 has been out 5 months hahah sooo the fact u guys go there is beyond me because sasha fierce (which has actually been out a decent amount of time) has outsold alll of rihannas albums LOL rihanna did better than loud with GGGB and still flopped again with rated r after it .. If rihannas career was a rollarcoaster we’d be puking by now ..
BeyKnight
U’re delusional. Rihanna has had more WORLDWIDE #1s than ANY FEMALE ARTIST than Madonna.
So to say that she ain t got many #1s anywhere else is crazy. U must have her confused with local Beyonce.
The reason why we talk so much about the US & UK charts is becaue this site is in English so most readers are from those 2 countries or are from ex UK colonies.
FACTS:
Rihanna is
Female with the most #1s on the Canadian Charts
Female with most #1s on the French charts
2nd female with most #1s on WORLDWIDE charts
2nd female with most #1s on the New Zealand charts
3rd female with most #1 on the US charts
3rd female with most #1s on the UK charts
WFL so far:
#1 Ireland (6 weeks)
#1 Denmark (6 weeks)
#1 France (5 weeks)
#1 Norway (4 weeks)
#1 UK (4 weeks)
#1 Scotland (4 weeks)
#1 New Zealand (4 weeks)
#1 Sweden (3 weeks)
#1 Germany (3 weeks)
#1 USA ( 3 weeks)
#1 Canada (3 weeks)
#1 Finland (2 weeks)
#1 Switzerland (2 weeks)
#1 Luxemburg (1 week)
#1 Poland (1 week)
@POP ROYALTY
hey, how u been
u sounding real ignorant rite now, MJB is a major seller in US, her prev albums barely had hit singles either but she still debuted with over 300k
every Rihanna album has been preceeded by at least a top 10 single (yes even rated r, russian roulette reached no 9) or a no 1 single yet she’s always sold less than 300k 1st week so be cute
whether she’ll sell big in the long run is anybody’s guess, dont act like she’s consistent with her album sales though personally, i think TTT will do well overall cus she hasnt switched up her sound that much, at least 2 of the songs sound like rude boy, there S&M-like songs on there so she’s sticking to a working formula. not hating
I downloaded both Mary and Rihanna’s albums, and all i can say it’s artistically, mary deserve that n°1 spot. Rihanna’s album is full of hits very well produced, but that’s all i can say from her album. Nothing new, creative and the message behind it is so…childish. On the other hand, Mary bring a woman’s feelings, with beautiful ballads and featurings !
There is no comparison
I kinda of feel bad for the rihanna stans .. I dnt think they realize the bey and mary stans are behind their computers laughin at them LOL literally all they have are her chart stats .. they cnt argue her as a performer or with any real vocal ability .. Her album sales are incredibly basic for a pop star (only 2 out of 5 albums to sell 5mill worldwide is not great for an INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTER *rolls eyes* LOL) .. they jus franatically throw around her single stats .. no awards no iconic videos or performances nothin but a bag of singles… awwww well maybe talk that talk will finally give them a lil more to work with cuz they’re “”girl with the most singles rap”” is starting to wear incredibly thin
Why does it matter? she a;ways out sell them in the long run anyway. lot if artist who got number one album would give that up in a minute for rihanna over all sales.
the race is not for the swift ,but who can endure it
ACTS with most WorldWide #1s this century (SINCE 2000):
1- Madonna- 9
2- Rihanna- 9
3- Britney spears- 7
4- Black eyed peas- 6
5- Eminem- 5
6- Lady gaga – 5
7- Katy perry- 5
8- Pink- 5
9- Christina aguilera- 4
10- Maroon5- 4
WHERE IS LOCAL BEYONCE ??????????????????
MJB may get number 1 but come back in a year and see who sold more world wide
@ Truthteller
Beyonce is not LOCAL !
Anyway she will get her number 1 album…
Cher never had a number 1 album in her 40+ career !
I’m sure talk that talk will do well but let’s call that album what it really is and what it really sounds like .. LOUDER .. U can easily tell that a lot of these songs were intended for a re-release of loud and they figured hey we’ve got the momentum let’s rush another album out there .. I honestly feel a break would effect rihanna in a VERY negative way and her team are not dummies .. As for a number one albums sonically mary deserves it without a doubt but rihanna may finally have enough momentum to grab that top stop (only took 6 years and 6 albums) LOL
@TRUTHTELLER
i dont know how old you are but for the sake of ur parents i hope ur still a teenager, if rihanna has any credibility u wont need to post her stats so much to make a relevant point. if every female released 6 album in their 1st 6 years im sure rihanna wont hold those records and besidesnot every artist is willing to dumb down their music just to get a number 1 single. its only fools like u that thinks an artist career is defined by no 1s
Beyonce is local ? lmoa, honestly u must be mentally retarded, we’ll have a convo about who’s local when rihanna is able to gross at least 80m dollars on one of her annual international tours. it’s kinda funny how local Beyonce is the HIGHEST PAID PERFORMER IN THE WORLD, so i guess RIHANNA IS NON-EXISTENT
Rihanna is the best female live performer alive.
THE END
@FREDDY ~~~TRUE !!!!

My M***** Vodoo senses is telling me that This will be Rihanna’s 1ST #1 Album.
I don’t know there is nothing stopping her..
To be honest with you Rihanna don’t need a #1 album
People seem to forget about LOUD a none #1 album that Outsold EVERYONE!!
Mary has a high chance of getting this and if she does GOOD FOR HER =] No one should be shading mary she does her thing. Rihanna is not worried about an #1 album and the navy and her fans should not either.
TTT Will outsell Everyone who released an album this year except Adele and if Rihanna releases Where Have You been ch…… it’s over
They Mad That Rihanna Game…
DAMN THE FAKEJUICE, FOR A BLOG TO NOT LIKE SOMEONE, YOU SURE PROMOTE THE F*** OUT OF RIHANNA… DAMN GET OFF HER D***!!!! YOU TALK ABOUT HER DAY IN AND DAY OUT AND SHE HAS NO IDEA ABOUT THIS GHETTO WEBSITE!! THE US IS NOT THE ONLY COUNTRY.. RIHANNA IS WORLDWIDE!!!! YOU LOSE AGAIN!

chile. you have ALOT to learn about the music industry. you’re ignorant at best, moronic at worst.
@Bey’Knight
Rihanna is just 23yo and he s already made 3 forbes list.
How many did Bey make by age 23 ??? 0
Just watch Rihanna leap over Beyonce on the list next year.
I can t wait for the total gross of her Loud tour to be announced in 4 weeks.
And I got numbers on my side to keep the BeyH.I.Vs from making s*** up as yall always do.
U already know that.
@
JAY_SCORPIO
now do that one more time, im sure u’l multiply your chances of having ur ill-wish come to pass
@ NED
GGGB & Loud tour were #1 WORLDWIDE.
GGGB was the bet selling album released by a female artist in 2007.
LOUD was the bet selling album released by a female artist in 2010.
Now take a nap biotch!
Rihanna doesn’t need a #1 album in the US she is not even from the US so it’s no big deal. She was does better internationally which better than being on a US star.
Exactly. When its all said and done.. Rihanna always end up outselling most #1 albums. But wait wast loud #1 on the world charts for weeks. So world>>>>>>USA. Who wants to be ms.US when u can be ms.WORLD. If a #1 was that important to Rihanna she would have looked for a release date with no competition like many artists from bey to chris brown. But rihanna always releases in this very competitive period and never push back..because she aint worried about no #1. She knows it’ll do what it do. Go on to sell millions and always debut in the top 5. I would prefer to have a top 5 album that go on to sell millions. Than a one shot deal #1 album which fizzles out after the first week.
I personally feel like the navy is lil too confident .. Let’s remember this rihannas BEST selling album to date is GGGB and that album contained her biggest single EVER and arguably one of the biggest of this decade (yes I’m saying that) and rihanna became RIHANNA .. Now flash forward to rated r .. Which to date has sold about as a much as 4 (rated r’s time out – 2 years, 4’s time out – 5 months) .. Rihanna sells albums off of the casual listener not a strong core fanbase .. With rihanna u never kno what’s gna happen it all depends if ppl hear enough they like .. She may finally be able to grab it cuz I kno the rihanna stans say it doesn’t matter but come on now 11 chart topping singles and 6 non chart topping albums doesn’t look right AT ALL
U might say rihanna gets #1 albums ww but ww isn’t really ww it’s the uk oz nz ca and to a lesser extent japan. The fact of the matter is the biggest English speaking music Market is the us and its largely considered that if u can crack the us you can crack the world, not the other way round look at nicole sherzinger uk but in the us Nicole who? Not even x factor is saving her lame career. until rihanna can make consistent no.1 albums and singles in the US of A like mariah beyonce britney madonna she will never be up there with the big girls . Yh brandy never got a #1 album but who is she now? Compare to mariah…
@truthteller sure ill take a nap .. Ill jus youtube one of rihannas performances I should fall right to sleep LOL
@frankie soooo true .. I never considered rihanna to have that strong fan base that runs out to the stores .. Its all ehhh ill give this album a shot .. And that’s one of the most dangerous positions to be in in a ever changing industry .. As u pointed out the fact that rated r debutted with a pathetic 181000 after selling for 3.99 coming off the back of an explosive era shows the hollowness of rihannas career
@JAY SCORPIO—–
FOR REALL ??…YOU CAINT JUST TYPE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON….
JUST BECAUSE YOU TYPED IT THAT MUCH ISNT GONNA MAKE IT TRUE..

@Karla
Bey has released in june, sept and november – over 300k each time. in 2006, bday was highest debut for a female thruout the year so it doesnt matter when it was released. 4’s her lowest and stayed at no 1 for 2 weeks
rihanna- released in november , 3 yrs in a row because of greed, she wants to cash in holiday sales. 4 out of her 5 releases debuted with less than 200k so even she’s not number 1 her 1st week sales still suck
BeyH.I.Vs needs to stop lying about Beyonce tour grosses:
The Beyonce experiences grossedr less than Last Girl On Earth Tour $40Million. Not 75 Million like the BeyH.I.Vs have claimed on this site:
Here’s Billboards WW top10 grosing tour of 2007 and TBE ain’t listed. And the #10 tour had grossed $41.6 Million. So The Bey Exp gross LESS than than:
The Police (212 Million)
Genesis ( $129 million)
Justin Timberlake ($126.8 Million)
Kenny Chesney ($71.2 million),
Rod Stewart ($70 million),
Cirque Du Soleil’s Delirium ($59.4 million),
Roger Waters ($53.2 million),
Tim McGraw/Faith Hill ($52.3 million),
Christina Aguilera ($48.1 million)
Rascal Flatts ($41.6 million).

albums have to be good to go to number one, so no! she’ll never go to number on first week. her career consists of singles and singles ONLY!
@CRAVE12 your analogy doesn’t hold up. all those artist you name Britney ,xtina they were selling music before album leak and download days. Billboard change their chart policy because gaga is a fraud. if you want to talk stats you have to start from 2005 and up before that most american were using dialup.. how many black artist even goes platinum in today’s market? all those artist you name are white . once they have some status they will out sell black artist. as great as black artist has been over the years they never use to go platinum. go back from the 60’s
to now and you’re not going to find lots of platinum sellers as great a the music use to be. every thing in America comes down to race. Percy Sledge did “when a man loves a woman” got no respect Micheal Bolton re do it got a Grammy while everybody know Percy Sledge version is the classic. what rihanna achieve was and is no easy task for a black artist much less one coming from a small island. that wont happen anytime soon . this was her destiny. i support her because not lot of people she would be still around.
Why are you even asking this question? Is it to rile up her fans so they go buy more albums? Theres got to be an agenda here other than healthy debate.
Her label seems to always choose to release around the holidays like a ton of other artists. It probably helps with “floating” sales because people will buy CDs or gift cards ( sometimes multiple CDs as gifts for others) for the holidays . People then use gift cards to buy things after
Christmas, etc. A number 1 album is fantastic, big first week sales are great but longevity for an album is better.
Labels use all types of strategy to push numbers of CDs and singles, so Def Jam, Sony, etc. uses this strategy to assist sales. She could get a number 1, especially if she just chose a week that didn’t have so much competition but the label strategically picks Nov 21 for a reason
Hey had a partner at my school (because it was Partners Day)
and she was from MALAWI and she knew who Rihanna was…
for all of the people who said that Rihanna isnt know in Africa !
Exactely Karla,
Chris Brown was supposed to release his album the same week as Britney and he punked out at the last minute and changed hsi date just so he could have a #1 album.
LMAO!
He’s such a punk ass b****, but I ain t really surprised seeing that he likes to fight with women… only a punk would do that
ALBUMS MATTER PPL .. they’re bunches upon bunches of artists throughout the 70s,80s and 90s who had great singles and sometimes back to back hits but no body of work with that equal praise and u can find those ppl currently on a VH1 special about failing careers .. rihanna is not safe AT ALL .. I actually think she’s the most in danger because jus as fast as u hav success (6 years is a snapshot compared to ppl she gets compared with) it can go away just as fast if ur not constantly giving the ppl what the want (watered down dance/urban pop).. I say rihanna lasts maybe another album after this before ppl get bored cuz let’s face rihanna DOES NOT have the raw talent to sustain herself
@TRUTHTELLER
dumbass Beyonce had just 1 album 1 era under her belt at 23 not rihanna’s 6 and btw rihanna didnt make the celebrity 100 three times, last yr was for under 30 which B still made more while on break
did u say rih will pass her next yr? lol see i knew u were delusional, u think rihanna is making money? u obv know nothing baout the biz side of the industry so just stick to quoting singles stats thats all u r good for and all rih will be known for, when she surpasses Madonna, let me know if that makes her more money or more respect or talent or accolades than Madonna
@Icon
hey boo *hugs* i gotta run now, catch ya later xoxo
@ Bey’Knight
I think Beyonce is amazing because she conquered the world with R&B music—not with things that typically appeal in this time period widely to the rest of the world like other artists. Her concert in Brazil, for instance, was the largest……EVER. I think you can be really proud of that, and ignore people’s comments about this achievement and that achievement because they had a different, EASIER path and they still aren’t as successful or respected.
@frankin u speak the TRUTH
@WHO RUN THIS MOFO (BEY) that is the dumbest statement i heard in a while. you thing the carter 4 was good. you think born this way was good. most good album don’t go number 1

lmao
Rihanna ain t even american and yet they want a cookie for Beyonce to have a #1 album in her own damn country, LMAO
That s the least she can do as a local star.
Just judging by the Barbados awards, I betcha Rihanna is the best selling artist of all time in her own country.
LMAO
Her Lead song is still kicking major Booty
and taking names.
RIHANNAS “We Found Love F/Calvin Is Once Again the
Superior Winner of the Global Track Chart It Rules a Third
Time and grows up another 5% to 463,000 This pass week.
I’m not even gna entertain the idea that rihanna is ANYWHERE near beyonces level and ever will be when rihanna is performing at the oscars, for two presidents and at the superbowl we can maybe have a talk .. And that’s a flimsy MAYBE seeing as the talent jus isn’t there LOL anyway talk that talk will prob do well .. I’m sure rihanna has a few years in her before she fades into pop obscurity
@truthteller ur comparing barbados to the US hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahu rihanna stans have deff earned the name rhitards
Well lets think, we got Mary J. Blige and Nickelback dropping on the same day. Then there’s Michael Buble’s Christmas album that is steadily increasing in sales each week so I don’t think she will debut at #1 with this but a top 5 debut is guaranteed.
Lady Gaga: 136 awards (in 3 years). Katy Perry: 60 awards(in 3 years). Rihanna: 131 awards (in 5 years). Ke$ha: 1 award( in 2 years).
@truthteller u CAN NOT be serious with that .. U think a number one album in the us is the same as barbados .. When ppl start quoting the barbados hot 100 ull have a point .. Until then #haveSEVERALseats
@Karla…PREACH!!!!!
Based on the question “Will Rihanna Ever Score a #1 Album?……..she’s already had #1 albums in several countries but most importantly Worldwide…but….do I think she will get a #1 album in the US this time…..I have no clue……as I’ve sed b4 getting a #1 album (in the US) only depends on when u release it nd who else is releasing..Yall r just to hung up on the fact that Rih doesnt have one is y u won’t admit it 2 urselves…….it’s sad that sm ppl think if u have big 1st wk sales then ur an album seller…smh…..Id be more embarrassed if I had a #1 album nd a non #1 album ended up outselling me…neway I hope Rihanna doesn’t get that #1 album so all the haterz can KEEP Talkin that Talk….Go Mary J Blige!!!!!!
Y does it seem like the ppl who claim to hate her want her to get a #1 album more than she does or her fans do?
#TheyMadAtRihannaGame
Rihannas “Loud & Gggb Albums” or both
Charting very well, and i am hoping that
This week coming up We will make some
Major News In the Music World, Its on!!!!!!!!!
It breaks many peoples hearts to know that she
wnet to America and is showing, Beyones how
the cow eats cabbage and the Writing is on the
Walls. Rihanna Knows that BEYONCE IS HOT
But RIHANNA Also knows that shes working hard
on a Program Just like the program that Fatten Beys
Big Fat Bank Accounts or going to Fatten RIHANNAS
Accounts too all around the Globe, How sweet it is.
It took a Talented Caribbean Queen to Go to America
and Shut things down and cause RIHANNAMANIA All
around the Country/Globe/World. And RIHANNAS Next
Of KIN Is in Full AFFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIHANNA Will do very good.Shes the Artist who brings
it all or Nothing. This Offering will do above and beyond Great for Her.
LMAO @ Hank & David
Yall are the stupid ones who are comparing #1 album in the US to #1 albums WORLDWIDE.
So don’t b**** when I give u a taste of ur own medicine
Can wait to get Mary’s Album!I Love Her Just Like I Love Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson!!! Get It Mary!!! We Capricorns Are Go Getters Baby!!! Yes Ma’am
It took pink what? 8 years to get a number one album. No one was hating on her though…. f****** dirty c*** smelling haters
Can we please stop comparing Beyonce and Rihanna
they are both the most successful black female singers of this generation !
@ Another Star Is Born
I`m a cappicorn too
pre orders dont mean anything cus Mary has older fans as well who dont buy online.
Excues me RIHANNA 142 in her time frame
Some Very Interesting Awards or the Ones
intl. Awards
Her International Awards won
#1 2008
#2 2009
#3 2010
So forth and so on.
RIHANNA Knows that Once You Kill A
Cow You have Just got to Make Burgers, Right
Her cow/Her Navy/Her Talent and charm is Placing
All Bets On “Talk That Talk”.
#1 albums>>>#1 singles
@rache12..what are you saying Albums are important? Wh doesn’t know this. I hope you arent trying to say that a#1 album first week means its critically acclaimed. All it means is that people rushed out in the first week and got it. T pain had a#1 album. Soldier Boy had a#1. So that does not say anything about the quality of the album. To me longevity is a better indicator. It can be safe to say that if your album is still selling strongly years later then it means people have heard good things about it or was impressed enough by your current work to check out your old material. And i beg to differ that rihanna havent delivered any great albums. GGGb and Rated R were two of her best albums to date.I have no doubt she’ll go on to make other great albums. What i’ve learned is just when you think you have rihanna pinned down to certain style and sound. She changes on you. So she knoes how to keep herself fresh innovative and current. So she isn’t going anywhere soon
Bey was nominated for about 323 awards and has won about 235 of them
WORLDWIDE #1 Album >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LOCAL #1 album.
Talk That Talk Rocks, my fav. Female albums of 2011 are:
Lady Gaga – Born This Way (This album is Epic)
Jennifer Lopez – Love? (a very underrated album, one of the best from J.LO)
Britney Spears – Femme Fatale (Not her best album, but a decent comeback)
Adele – 21 (is good but sorry not as good as it sales, and you know is true)
and now my fav. is Talk That Talk (her best since Rate R)
#1 singles dont either tell the quality. i mean iTunes its sooo much easier. #1 singles also dont sell albums
Plays 4 Repeatedly and going to cleanup my home!!!!! Oh I will get Rihanna on bootleg this time.I’m tired of supporting her and get home and theirs only 2 or 3 songs thatr catch my attention.I’m tired of wasting my money and sitting her albums to the side to only catch dust.Anyhoo Chow!!!!
@BC
And yet, 4closure is still flopping hard.
And her career is still over.
well first of all let me jus say having the most number one singles and to only hav 2 OUT OF 5 albums sell over 5 million copies and no not jus in the US ww is not something to really brag about wen we look at her peers chart histories (britney,beyonce,gaga,christina) who all have at least one diamond album ..
@Crave12
In what alternate universe do Beyonce and Gaga have diamond albums? Only Britney and Christina have diamond albums and that was during a different era in the music industry. Gaga’s Fame/Monster era may have sold 10+ million WW, but it sure as hell didn’t sell any 10M copies in the US, and NO Beyonce album has ever even come close to selling 10M units WW or domestically. So please have several seats.
Rihanna is keeping pace with her contemporaries just fine. LOUD is the best selling pop album of 2011, and you will deal. How many pop stars are selling albums like Rihanna is these days, cause I know Britney and X-tina aren’t? Oh, that’s right, only 2 (Ri, Gaga).
. . . Next
If only Beyawnce’s dad could buy her music the way he bought her awards, maybe her career wouldn’t be over.
LOL
my favs are:
Beyonce 4
Adele 21
Foster the People(idk wat there album is called but its good)
Mariah Merry christams II you and Merry christams
I know these haters are UUUPPSETTT! Year of the Trinity, my @ss! When the so called “singles artist” is shifting more units than the “heavy weights,” feelings will be hurt.
and yet Rihannas people continue to buy her #1s with payola. If only her albums sold like her singles
*sips*
Jamir whens your b’day? Mines is on Christmas Day!!! My niece told me today that the young singer Prodigy of the new group with Diggy Simmons is one too.Martin Luther King,R Kelly,Aaliyah,Jude Law,John Legend,Tyrese,Morris Chestnut,Beyonce’s Parents,Michelle Obama etc; Go Getters Baby All Day Long and We Are Very Attractive Individuals As Well!!!! Owwwwww!!!! This Is Beyonce’s Best Album Love It!!!!!
Rihanna always seems to go up against someone who is sure be #1, while BeYAWNce is always guaranteed #1 because she only releases when there’s no competition
@Crave needs to take a seat also.
The Fame & The Fame Monster are 2 albums that when put together sold 12 Million.
Guess what, if u put Loud & GGGB together, it s 14 Million. LMAO!
you mad?
And how s BTW performing?
Last time I checked it was 1 spot away from dropping off the world charts and had yet to reach 5 Million copies sold ww.
She basically sold 1/2 of her total on her firt week… and 500K of them were for 99cent.
How didn all her following singles performed after the much hyped BTW?
That is really sad.
She is next (after Beyonce) on her way to flopville.
moves over to the new new Beyonce post
I know these haters are UUUPPSETTT! Year of the Trintiy my ass!. When the so called “singles artist” is shifting more units than the “heavy weights,” feelings will be hurt.
@AYNON , AKA Old Man Knowles Listen you old Pimp No one gives a dam about how Others did it last year and the year before. Just know that
we realize that as compared to your choochie popping daughter this is a different time/day in the music Industry and manny can keep saying that RIHANNA Can’t sale albums til Leap year but its not true. Rihanna is still selling good after 51 weeks on the charts with “Loud’ And all of you know that Gggb is still charting along really good. Don’t have to give her credit ever as long as her checks makes it to her many Bank Accounts on time.
And at the rate she going she has paid jayz and bey up for the next 5 years. And remember they only collects a % that is the way its done. And if Bey and Jay Screws up with Rihanna than you Bee Fans Will have/get Your Wish Because theres many &&&&& entitys who will love to work with Lil Ms Sunshine @ A Moments Notice, Real Talk.
@mari check dangerously in love hun (+12mill) u may wana take that seat u left for someone else
who cares when Beyonce has sold more than all the lessors yall mentioned @thruthteller
I’m also loving Foster The People,One Republic,Kelly Clarkson,Tyrese,Musiq Soulchild,Cobra Starship,Drake,Melanie Fionna,Creed,Mutemath!!!! Their albums Rock Love It!!!
@bc i agree#1albums in the world is >>>>#1album stateside. Even tgj knows this that’s why they were celebrating adeles world reign. Btw did beyoce ever have a #1album in the world. Did Mary? Did ChrisBrown?
@BC
Beyonce Is actually the ONLY one of the 2 to be mentioned in a payola scandal where Sony had to pay $10 Million.
“If there were ever any doubt how so much undeserving s*** gets on the radio, here’s the answer: one station gets a new digital camera, another gets some plane tickets to Orlando, Florida, just to play Train and BEYONCE five extra times a day.”

@BC
Not true
Rihanna 120 Million record sold >>>> Beyawnce 75 Million record sold
I see this @ BC b**** is here !
Read this:
RIHANNA is set to take on 007.
The s*** singer is said to be in discussions to launch her big screen career by playing a female secret agent in a “Bond like” franchise.
“This is a very s*** role in a big budget franchise that is being created around Rihanna,” reveals a movie insider. “The aim is to capitalize on Rihanna’s fanbase by creating a fast-paced action movie which will be like a feature length music video in it’s style.
“Rihanna has been taking some acting lessons in preparation for a movie career and this could be her big break.”
Meanwhile, the Umbrella hitmaker has been ordered by doctors to curb her partying lifestyle.
The singer was forced to pull out of a show in Malmo, Sweden, on Monday after being hospitalized with a bout of flu, and her medical team are concerned she is going out too much while on tour.
“Rihanna is running on empty but she’s still been going out drinking and living it up,” a source said.
“She doesn’t have any down time where she can completely relax. She spends most of her time in the studio, on stage or in clubs. Doctors are worried she’s overdoing it.
“She needs to take some time off. Otherwise she’ll be vulnerable to more illness.”
Rihanna 4 2012 B****** !
@mari beyonce hasn’t come close HAHAHAHAHA dangerouly in love (+12mill) bday (+7mill) sasha fierce (+8mill) .. Its actually rare for beyonce not to come close LOL hun give it a rest ..

DIL sold 8 Million
Bidet sold 5 Million
I Am Sasha Q**** sold 6 Million
4closure sold 1.9 Million
And I got the receipt to prove it if u want me to past LOOOG week after week numbers
Jamir im not readin all dat. u better learn how 2 summerize.
and
@THOSE Who love naming every name in music history to try and prove
their weak point, Take some deep breaths and relax and go to the charts and count what she has done with “GGGB ONLY” And get your Weak Minds Blow The proof is all there for you to see/read BUT THOSE WITH Brains refuses to see and report thr truth if their lying lives depended on it
RIHANNA Is doing a great Job of Kicking Asses and taking names. Forget yester years less deal with the Here And Now And Rihanna is moving Units of gggb and loud check Itune, Global charts and the riaa if you want to know the Truth. No ifs ands and buts shes throwing down and even if Mary and the other five or six whhos dropping tomorrow should have the biggest Sales we or not going to lose any sleep over it Because the NAVY ALREADY KNOW THAT ALL OF RIHANNA MUSIC ALBUMS AND SINGLES ALWAYS GROWS STRONG LONG LEAN LEGS JUST LIKE THE ONES SHE WALKS AROUND ON,,,,LMAO
i mean Rihanna might could of been as big as Lady gaga but it didnt happen
Rihanna cant and will never be an icon or legend just a hot girl with okay music .. Michael jacksons thriller is the best selling album of all time and he has hit after hit but what is michael respected for his TALENT .. Whitney houston has had almost as many singles as rihanna but what is whitney really remembered for her amazing voice aka TALENT .. Madonna may not be the best singer in the world but her true talent layed in writing and visual direction which today is still respected as being innovative .. Same with janet and her dancing and aretha in her singing .. All rihanna stans can say she has a lot of singles and two out of 5 albums that did well ..Beyonce can flop another 5 times and never “pop her p****” again .. She will ALWAYS be able to stand in front of a mic and KILL IT the way she did when she sang for BARBARA STREISTRAND and the kennedy center honors .. Rihanna is hot for right now but bey has the goods to withstand the test of time #gooddayfolks
“mari beyonce hasn’t come close HAHAHAHAHA dangerouly in love (+12mill) bday (+7mill) sasha fierce (+8mill) .. ”

@David
Actually she is.
How about u buy some glasses moron.
LOL
@ben A-F******-MEN and @bc that performance alone slayed anytime rihanna has even opened her mouth in front of mic or stepped foot on a stage #kingb
“mari is rihanna even on that chart LOL”
@David
illiterate, b****. GGGB is #92.
Bey-hive, come get these twits, they’re embarrasing the king!
@BEN u hit the nail on the head
again fake number. u only listen to official readings smart guy.
Jamir no Lady gaga is bigger. and better. gaga and Bey have something in common. They can both perform and are involved in there musics creative process.
@ben thank u for making me realize how dumb it is to even argue with the rhitards .. Beyonces career speaks for itself #imsodonehere
Gotta Get Busy and Try to enjoy this lovely Sunday.Be Blessed People
LMAO @ BC
Rihanna performance on XFactor was such an epic fail that WFL shot right back to #1 on itunes after the performance.
So what did that Beyonce performance did for RTW?
Ohhh u mean to tell me nobody cared and the song stayed flopping????
LMAOOOOOOOOO
IKR i can never get over how epic Beyonce performs. thats why i says why would u even mention Rianna
rihanna sucks who cares if her albums number 1 .. go support good music MARY J!
@bc that performance gave me LIFE and @ben ur very smart that was very well stated
@Danny,
I know u mean THE LACK of Beyonce’s career.
B**** is OVER.
It was a good call for her to retire her old ass to go start a family.
@ BC
Okay whatever
@BEY’knight :
hey U ! missed u too ” i know u will surprised , but it is what it is ” !!
look @BEY’knight , i’m gonna be honest ! i like TTT , i really do , but i do not find D it to be GREAT , it is riri in her safest zone with a lil bit bitching here and there ” reminds me of madonna’s erotica era , but whatever” !
anyway , it is all about hype now , riri got that hype , i made a dicision that i wont here leaks or s*** like that ” that’s why i kept my RUDE ass off TGJ cuz i knew they will be stanning and s***” AND I WAS RIGHT AS U CAN SEE , SAM IS STANNING NOW AND looks so hypocrite to me !! a lot of ppl deal with TGJ as another rihanna fansite , but that’s not my point , my point is , as a rihanna stan , i am not so blown away with TTT ” maybe cuz i just bought my own deluxe version from itunes NOW ”
SHE’S GETTING BETTER , BABY STEPS BUT SHE GET’S BETTER ! i’m gonna be honest and i will say i do NOT SUPPORT THE WHOLE REBELLIOUS GIRL she’s sporting now , but what else can i say , i will have to deal !
so please , i will try to keep it cute and cool this era ! not for anything , but because i got mad respect for beyonce and i won’t be shading the woman , i patiently wait for her to give birth to that baby so i can put it as my gravatar !
anyway , i do not care about #1 albums , most of my fav albums aren’t #1 in US ! the fame is a living example so , …
i won’t be sad if riri lost it , but i won’t be so happy either ! it will be NORMAL ! cuz we “THE NAVY” are over this particular point , especially after we knew how our fav is really popular and that her albums can be alive for years in charts , so …
i’m not a big fan of MJB and i think she’s NOT that great now , at least compared to what she used to be ONCE !!
AND …
u do not want me to pull up numbers … !
i said i want to keep it cute , lemme do it FOR ONCE ! i wanna get along with u ” BEYHIVE” for once !
anyway , i’m not in the mood to shade , drag or POST STATS and s*** !
bye 😉
Haahahah non of the rhitards reponding to at ben cuz they kno when it comes to talent rihanna is ALL smoke and mirrors .. clearly not enough smoke to hide her complete lack of stage presence LOL anyway good luck with her on that number 1 they say 6 times a charm *rolls eyes*
TRUTHTELLER
i am really starting 2 think u have a seeing and hearing problem.
Im talkin bout the Rihanna who was on X factor this week who gave that terrible performance of we found drugs.
it was not organized, bad outfit, lazy vocals with a back up track and pointless jumping up and down with bad choreography.
Beyonces performance
amazing intro, all live vocals, working the stage, contact and connection with the audience, and nice outfit, with great choreography
IN MY OPINION
@BEN completely ended the conversation with that comment
@bc truthteller doesn’t hav a seeing or hearing problem .. Its a hater problem hahaha he cnt praise beyonces performances cuz that would admit that rihannas are complete horse s*** by comparion
@ONYX
@JAMIR
@ROSARUBBEL
@TRUTHTELLER
hi 😉 ! missed u all ! *plays beyonce’s I miss u *
hope u enjoy TTT ! i do now !!
at this point does it even mather if rihanna gets a number 1 album in the U.S market?
she already a monster on the worldwide charts…SO WHO GIVES A F***…
now,,,,,,i like mary j..so the rihanna stans better back the f*** off my Mary…
@RatedX
I luv Mary too.
She s a REAL icon.
I went to the loud tour (got free tix) and it was literally a party .. I had a great time!! But it wasn’t really a show .. I felt like I just went to a huge club and some rihanna lookalike (only scarily this was the real rihanna) was doing bad karoake to her music .. Rihanna has the singles but after that show I kno without a doubt she will fade away
@BEN YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
@ Pop Royalty
Missed you too !
i dont think rihanna has sold 120 million worldwide…..same way i dont think beyonce has sold 75 million worldwide…
labels has a tendency to inflate their artist sales to make them appear bigger than they are
but rihanna’s worldwide saleS ARE much bigger than beyonces worldwide sales…thats a fact….
because rihanna has always been the bigger star worldwide…..
I FOUND THAT I SHOULD give a special hi ” the navy style” to my fellow NAVY MEMBERS :
@yellow
@natalie
@LAX : i missed u bro !! so sorry if i left , but i am just so ” NOT supporting” LEAKS AND SNIPPETS when it comes to rihanna , i do with other artists , but not riri 😉 ! so i had to leave TGJ for a while ! but since TTT will be officially released tom , i will be back and HERE TO STAY !
missed u all navy peeps ^____^
Rihanna’s XFace performance GAVE ME LIFE.
IT WAS FLAWLESS.
I love her London Brat look. I luv the energy and the passion.
The dancing was ORGANIC & AMAZING. It felt like she was really hoping in a real rave party.
All that she need to watch is her weight… her face looked bloated. But I guess it s from the medicine she s been taking to get over her flu. Medicine tend to exacerbate water retention.
She did.
Jus in the USA she’s sold 50 Million records
And we all know she s even stronger overseas.
Beyonce is stuck at 75Million record cus she is local and her singles just don t sell overseas.
That s why Rihanna got 7 songs that reach over 6 Million points WW and Beyonce do NOT even have 1.
http://www.mediatraffic.de/alltime-track-chart.htm
WHY the rihanna stans have to be delusional for liking rihanna?
can somebody please answer that question..
why do stans of other artist always feel the need to put down the rihanna stans?
and fyi..rihanna is on the same level of fame as gaga….not the same level of talent..but fame…
so no gaga is not bigger than rihanna

______________________________________________
GURL , give it a rest already ! we are SICK and TIRED of :
beyonce sold this , rihanna sold that !
both of them h*** are WW s*** and they both do great !
but i’m agree , rihanna is the bigger star “nowadays” , but u can not under-estimate beyonce popularity ! the thing is , rihanna appeal to the younger fans , that’s why she gets those #1’s and that huge popularity !!
END THAT S*** PLEASE ….. ! both women do great !
and me and u know you ain’t a great fan of rihanna either !! let alone beyonce ! so …
I’m sorry at the rihanna stans…
but rihanna hasnt reached 50 million sales in the U.S alone….
the majority of the time those music sites who tracks artist sales, goes by the record companies,….how do i know this?
do a break down on rihannas sales in the U.S..it doesnt reach any where near 50 million………
but i do agree rihanna is a monster on the world charts….but 120 million is very inflated
I think she’ll get her 1st BB200 #1
some point in her career….
Some people need to be aware of the fact that MJB came out around TWENTY or so years ago meaning her fanbase is older.
Beyonce’s not going anywhere so some of y’all need to stop frontin’ like her career is over
That being said

@pop royalty ( RUDE BOY)
You better bring your cute ass here as soon as possible.
Actually Beyonce has sold 11 million WW copies of Dangerously In Love , http://rapfix.mtv.com/2011/04/05/jay-z-and-beyonce-celebrate-three-years-of-wedded-bliss/
its ok 2 stan and like rihanna but when u wanna try 2 down grade bey to amke her look better im gonna say something
People are forgetting that Rihanna is only 23 !
So she has plenty of time to get a number 1 album
I dont trust those music sites who post up artist sales…hell even media trafic has been proven wrong many times..
if u sit down and do a break down on a artist sales..trust me…u not going to get the same amount of sales as the music charts….
because the majority of the time they go by the record companies..they dont really sitt down themselves and track and break down the artist sales..
im not trying to take rihannas accomplishments from her..but i find it very odd that im hearing she has sold 120 million now….where was this number last yr
yup 11 million by the RIAA
@ Rated X
Yeah some people say that she sold 120 million, 12 million, 80 million, etc.,
But I dont know !
and Beyonce is only 30 ans has plenty of time to get more #1 songs
Yep rihanna has all the time in the world to get a #1 album. Its clear she will, cause her fan base keeps growing and each of her albums always top the previous one. She’s getting better and better and since she’s already conquered the world with her #1 album (loud) and have been #1 virtually in all other countries. THen its only a matter of time before she dominates in the US as well. And when that happens, what will the detractors have left to argue then. Cause right now all they can say is Rihanna don’t have a #1 album in the US. She had a #2 with GGGB but somehow that isn’t good enough for them. SO when she finally gets the #1 then they won’t have anything else to say because rihanna will have proven them wrong time and time again by doing everything they’ve said she’d never do. I can’t wait for that day.
So guess who just tied Adele for longest running #1 of the year in the UK charts?
QUEEN RIHANNA
WFL officially hit its 5th week at #1 today.
#WeBadUMad
I love Rihanna, I’m going to see her in concert this friday but I got Talk That Talk when it came out here on 2 days ago & its just not a good album…we found love is easily the best song on the album, the rest are all lacking…
Beyonce has been in the game 15 years to Rihanna’s 6. So rihanna did damn good in that short span of time. Sitting up there with the legends like Mariah and Janet, and Madonna in the hitmaking department. Go ri.
@ pop royalty
ur sick and tired of hearing rihanna is this beyonce is this…
and yet u always talking about how beyonce doesnt have any hits on her album…
and beyonce is a hasbeen…beyonce this beyonce that..
now u want to come at me…please stay in ur lane….
reguardless if i like rihanna or not..it doesnt concern u…..
Rihanna’s cool n her songs are catchy but I would buy Mary J’s album before I would buy her because I respect Mary J as an artist. I like Rihanna but she’s merely a studio artist where as Mary J has amazing vocals. Plus her voice sounds exactly the same way on the radio and during Live performances. When Rihanna sings live she doesn’t really sound all that good.
@Rated X
120M records is not the same as 120M albums. Singles are records too. I think that number is inflated as well. I think something closer 100M records, because she’s sold something like 70-80M singles WW.
For whatever Mediatraffic excludes some countries. There’s another chart site called musicharts that counts sales in countries that mediatraffic doesn’t, but even going by musicharts’ numbers, mediatraffic wouldn’t be too far off. musiccharts says that LOUD has long since passed the 5M mark, but mediatraffic says that LOUD hasn’t reached 5M yet. So, the safest estimate is to say that LOUD has sold between 5 and 6 M copies WW.
More than likely. With all the promotion she is putting in she deserves it.
and the person that said WW>Us
Knows nothing.
I would rather Have an huge single and hit album in the Us, than any other country.
I mean to be platinum in the UK is only 300K.
In other countries the numbers are even lower.
there are plenty of artist who didn’t make it big outside of the Us.
But are legendary in the US.
Know why?
The market and industry has an better presence
talk that talk in my opinion is a better album than loud. I love rock me out, birthday cake, we found love, where have you been, talk that talk, drunk on love. The whole album is banging. I didn’t like loud as much as i loved rated r, and this album ” talk that talk” have more of a rated r and gggb feel to me.
@ shrum so why is every US artist trying to fly abroad to capture the international market if its not that important. I’d rather be an international well know artist, than a domestic/local one any day.
@rudeboy
werent just talking mad s*** about mary j blidge…so now u want to come at me?
sit ur ass somewhere ok..with we all should support both beyonce and rihanna b*******..
when earlier u was going in on mary j…
stay in ur lane boo…if u gonna come at me..make sure ur hands are clean first
Rated X
This comes from Soundcan.
She had sold 33.7Million singles from 7/2004-1/2011
Now add to that the fact that OG & WMN were still selling plenty at the begining of the year.
Add s&m, Cheers, CKB, Man Down and now WFL.
That is about 40Million ingles EASY.
And she sold another 7.3 Million albums.

^^^^
Well I like Mary as well and would buy both there albums because they are giving me too different sounds. Mary is not doing pop and rihanna is, so when i’m in the mood for mary, i’ll jam to her and when I feel like something fun and funky i’ll pop in talk that talk. IDK why its so hard for some people to like and listen to more than one artist at a time.
To be honest, who cares about number 1 albums when you are still one of the biggest pop stars in the world. I would rather have multiple platinum albums (which Rihanna has with the exception of ‘Music of the Sun’) than a number 1 album any day. Plenty of irrelevant people have had number 1 albums but where are they now?
@Mari
LOUD has sold 5.2 Million on Mediatraffic & 5.9Million on music charts
That is about 40Million ingles EASY.
@Truth Teller
Hmm, interesting. So, it’s only 40M? I thought her single sales were much higher. Guess I was wrong.

@ONYX :
LMFAO !
@ratedxxx :
gurl !!
WHATEVUHHH !!!!!
and u know the rihanna stans get so much hate from other fanbases , that’s because we stan better than everybody !
so ….
do not feel sorry or anything , we know who always laughs at the end of the day 😉
@TruthTeller
I hear what ur saying…..
but just last year people where bragging about how she has sold over 40 million worldwide..
how did we jump from 40, 50, 60..to 120 million..
again, im not trying to take from her acomplishments..i just find it very odd, that she went from 40 to 120 million in less of a yr…..
how come last yr nobody was bragging about her 100 million sold?
Rihanna spent MORE WEEKS AT #1 this year than ANYBODY :
1 Week with WMN
5 Weekswith WFL
Total of 6 Weeks at #1
@Rated X
X-factor said that Gaga sold 100M records. I just assumed that it was album and single sales combined.
Her albums have gone number 1 in europe tho.
“LOUD has sold 5.2 Million on Mediatraffic & 5.9Million on music charts”
@truthteller
then, how come Rihanna doesn’t have the #3 next to her triangle on the mediatraffic chart?
@mari…
now im one of gagas biggest fan..but theres no way in hell she has sold 100 million in albums and singles…..
britney, bey and gaga had their last albums debut at number, yet loud is selling more copies worldwide, and loud came out last year! before femme fatale, btw and 4, yet shes outselling all 3!!! shes numberone worldwide right now. wheneve she does get a number one, then what? truth is, ull always have a pr
@Rated X
Ok, I think we can all agree that X-factor is s***** source. so, nobody quote that show again.
I dnt understand fans obsession with chart positions .. I mean if u guys were gettin a cut I would understand but it baffles me how intense u guys get about it .. I congradulate rihanna for all her success I just can’t ride with what I see and hear from her on stage .. bad karoake is the only I can put it into words sometimes .. And its not like she’s a britney (old britney) or a janet where okay the vocals are so-so but the dancing SLAYS .. with rihanna that area falls completely flat on stage as well .. I duno .. I guess I understand why the rihanna navy clings to her billboard stats so hard because in reality that’s kinda all they have with her
now i understand the beyonce stans saying she has sold 75 million..because they have been bragging about that 75 million for over 5 yrs now…
even thought i dont believe it..
but saying gaga, rihanna has sold over 100 million…no…..
how come the rihanna stans has never bragged about her album sales before…they always quick to bragg about her singles..
u mean to tell me all this time yall could have shut down the beyonce stans, with this 100 million sales..and yall didnt? I dont believe it
@mari
yes..lol lets never quote xfator.
@greg THANK YOU for pointing that out .. Rihanna isn’t an artist just a walking billboard stat lol
@greg YASSSSSSSS Bey stans stans for TALENT the rhitards stan for billboard charts .. However billboard stats are always attainble .. Raw talent u either hav or u dnt ..
@greg YASSSSSSSS Bey stans stans for TALENT the rhitards stan for billboard charts .. However billboard stats are always attainble .. Raw talent u either hav or u dnt ..
Rihanna has sold a lot of singles there’s no doubt about that .. but clearly that money isn’t going to dance or singing lessons
I will seriously die laughing if Mary J Who?, MJ’s posthumous album or even BTW: The Remix over-sell this.
@Mari
Cus the ^3 is when u hit 6 Million
^1 is 2 Million
^2 is 4 Million
^3 is 6 Million
And so on
The Official Charts Company
Rihanna nets a sixth week as the Official Singles Chart Number 1 today to take the title of artist with most weeks at Number 1so far this year, surpassing Adele’s Official Singles performance of five weeks at Number 1.
I’m confused. I thought We Found Love has been #1 for 5 weeks, not 6. Even the official chart website is getting it wrong. If they wanna say its been #1 for 6, I’m fine with that lol!
how the rihannas stans been coming at every other artist (besides adele they aren’t that foolish) I kno that album BETTER debut at number one with higher than 300K .. Cuz they say its about the long run well rihanna is now the BIGGEST female artist in the world (according to you guys *rolls eyes*) and she’s selling it during one the best weeks for sales so there’s NO EXCUSE for a weak debut or I swear come tuesday november 28th when those numbers are released I’m going to go IN!
OH YEAH
5 weeks from WFL
1 Week from WMN
i’m sorry at the rihanna stans…im not trying to hate on the chick..
but i find it very odd that yall never used that 100 million world sales as brag rights..
i would think selling over 100 million would be more brag worthy than 11 number 1 singles..
am i wrong? am i hating?
@greg yeah rihannas nothin but empty numbers with no real talent to back them up .. oooo well hopefully when she fades away and the next new popstar of the moment comes along they will be a lil more engaging live
All I have to say is that song with Rihanna & Jay-Z f***** up the whole CD. That song is just horrible.
Also alot people are really sick of Rihanna and will go out and support Mary.
umm hasnt loud proved that its not how u charts on the charts, its the end result?
so if talk that talk went to number 1 and stall on the charts, what yall gonna say?
i would think her label care more about the end result…thats where the money at..
i doubt her label care about her charts position right now..her world wide sale always shits on peoples U.S sales..
so it dont really mather
I Like Rihanna, but im sick of her stupid 10 year old fans.They getting on my damn nerves with all that BS. Anyway ::::::::::::::::::::::::waits for 4 intimate nights dvd to arrive:::::::gets popcorn out:::::::::::::
Most of you don’t give a rat’s ass about mary j blige and you know that. You only want her to go to # 1 mainly cause of your hate for rihanna that’s it and that’s all. No disrepect to mary but she may not even fall in the # 1 spot. Wishing bad on rihanna isn’t going to bring any good to mary at all. Just be prepared because you’re going to hear more news about rihanna that you’re not going to like.
I’m a rihanna fan (well studio voice rihanna so kinda a fan LOL) but I think her team made a big mistake releasing this album so soon .. cuz I’ve already seen on a couple websites and on a radio station talkin about is this rihanna overkill .. And once those conversations start happening its NEVER a good sign .. The talk that talk era has barely started so its gna be more months of straight rihanna .. I think this album will do well (not better than loud) then she will take a break and that will be that .. Of course she will prob try a comeback but by then the next new hot chick will have taken her place .. Ashanti … Rihanna .. (Insert name here) .. The cycle will continue lol

Mary J. Blidge First Week Sales
O____O I didn’t know MARY was THIS bad. She’s sold over 50 million records and 15 million singles in her career.
What’s the 411?
My Life: 200,000
Share My World: 317,000
Mary: 239,000
No More Drama: 324,000
Love & Life: 285, 298
Growing Pains: 629,000
The Breakthrough: 727,000
Stronger With Each Tear: 332,000
Just So You Know…..
It isn’t about chart positions its about the long run yet beyonces 4 is flop after debutting at number 1 and has been out for 5 months (that’s some long run LOL) anyway I really do agree it is about the long run .. but the fact that she’s 5 for 0 isn’t good .. It shows ppl really need to be sold into buyin a rihanna album her name isnt linked with quality .. Which hey it shouldn’t be LOL
Unfortunately NO! The album is really good but there also other album releases. She have to fight with Mary J, Michael Jackson, Daughtry & Nickelback. It’s not gonna be easy for her. If she’ll be #1 on Billboard I’m just say Go RiRi!!!!!!!!!
@Ratedxx….Idk y ppl think that 1st wk sales are everything….they actin like if u have HUGE #’s ur first wk then u r able to sell albums….They call others stupid and dumb yet they can’t get that thru their heads..getting a #1 album depends on when u release ur album….
Example: Beyonce v. Selena Gomez = Beyonce
Had Beynce released ‘4’ on the same day as Lady Gaga’s ‘BTW’….who wouldn’t have got their 4th consecutive #1?…..or against T. Swift’s ‘SSpeak Now’…..
My point has been made.
#TheyMadAtRihannaGame
And just after i’ve post my comment what do i see? “Rihanna Breaks UK Chart Record; Overtakes Adele” Told you to be prepared – and that you’re going to hear more news about rihanna that you’re not going to like DAMN I’M GOOD!
@CREEPY GAGA
That song Birthday Cake sounds like something Willow Smith would do with out the nastyness.
she will get it when she makes better music .
I’m so glad I heard Rihanna CD ahead of time because if I just went out and bought it and heard how terrible it sounds, I would go back to the store and say the CD was defected and demand my money back. The only song on her CD that is good is WFL and that is because of the music by Calvin Harris. You hardly hear them giving Calvin Harris credit, it’s always Rihanna song.
I think that Rihanna is a “singles” artist so I don’t know if she’ll ever have a number one album but she really doesn’t need one because she puts out top 10 songs.
She don’t need a #1 with all the songs she puts out from one album. She releases damn near all the songs from her album.
No, Rihanna will never score a #1 album.
And just a side note to the stupid Rihanna fans as to why you guys are so stupid.
You do realize that for every comment posted on any TGJ article they get money right? Around 30-40 cents.
And it just so happens to be that it is the Rihanna articles that are among their most commented. Why is that? Well because Rihanna fans are really really REALLY stupid, like basically borderline retarded and continue to post. So while you may say that Rihanna is the one laughing her way to the bank, think again because so is that TGJ.
And they are doing it at both Rihanna’s and Rihanna’s 4-Man-Navy’s expense. And that is why Rihanna fasn are retarded. 🙂
Have a great day RihRih-tarded fans. 🙂
ALL THE SONGS ON THE ALBUM SUCK, BIRTHDAY CAKE IS THE ONLY GOOD ONE IN MY OPINION. SO NO, ATLEAST NOT WITH THIS ONE
TTT is just an okay album . it not better than Loud. I’d be surprised if it’s #1….too many empty lyrics and there a song (birthday cake) that’s 1:18 long. are you f****** kidding me? it’s not even a good song. all she says is cake cake cake cake cake cake and that’s basically the entire 1:18 😐
Beyonce is washed up and old…I once liked her but she is like Jlo now. An older pretty woman tryen to keep upfloat. She just looks weird to me know. As rihanna is younger fresher and more relevant. Beyonce has had her time…its now Rihanna s turn and then another person will come a recycled pattern.
Does it matter? She stays winning while you stay pressed!! For someone with no talent you talk about her a lot.
We talk about her a lot cause people like her not cause she has talent.. like get with the programme and stop being stupid. No wonder they call you the navy, you just follow the leader blindly without even asking what the hell it is that you’re buying…
I’ll say it again, i almost wish she gets that number 1 album, like it’s about time.. but if she doesnt it’s ok cause her album will still eventually sell anyways.. the mary competition should get her fans to finally get off their asses and support their girl so we shall see
I looooove rihanna, but that Mary is nothing to be played with album-wise. Don’t sleep on mary. But ri will def. have a nice opening week!
Rihanna has scored no.1 albums in the UK, Canada and throughout Europe and other countries. Besides, her lack of US no.1 albums doesn’t mean she doesn’t have extremelly hight total sales. The sales are just spread out, thus she fails to get that no.1. For example, 1st week Loud only peaked 3 yet 13 weeks later it was 3 again. Britney Spears FF has sold a lot less than Rihanna LOUD in the US overall, yet went no.1 whilst Rih only went 3. Like..

You’re forgetting one monumental fact… BEYONCE HAS TALENT, Rihanna, NOT SO MUCH.
Nope I dont think her album could make number 1 her songs does not have enough depth to it. I mean there great to listen to and shes a very unique artist but it seems her songs could only relate to women in bad relationships and women who have wild party lives not songs for all types of women. Also her music to me is more about herself than anyrhing else
