‘Umbrella‘, ‘SOS‘, ‘We Found Love‘, ‘Rude Boy‘ and ‘Pon De Replay’, all hits scored by serial chart topper Rihanna since she debuted six years ago.
Now, news that will undoubtedly put a smile on the faces of her support base has emerged from the UK today.
She is now the UK’s highest selling singles act of 2011.
Details below…
With over 3,119,000 singles sold in the country this year, she beats Adele’s total sales of 3113,000 to become the year’s highest selling artist single’s artist.
To date,her latest single ‘We Found Love‘ has generated sales of 771,000 units, while ‘S&M‘ and ‘What’s My Name‘ – which are both lifted from her 2010 album ‘Loud‘ have combined sales of 973,000 units since their respective releases months ago.
Well done Rihanna!
For while this doesn’t change the fact that the US sales of her albums are so so to say the least, this new record serves as a reminder to all that absolutely no-one is touching Ms.Fenty when it comes to moving singles,both home and away.
UK counts but not really. If she can’t achieve that in the States then she needs to work a little harder.
Great Accomplishment for Rihanna, Yes Sirree!
Keep up the Great work, Rihanna!
Remember Rih that if you think
it you can do it & know that if
and when you fall down get
right back up & stay the Course!
Sam, now I see y u be bitter. Rihanna get the glitz glamor and fame in the UK where you are from and you can’t stand it so you pout about it on this blogsite. Get over it hunny!
@skintight jeans –WTF ARE U TALKIN ABOUT…SHE HAS 11 NUMBER 1 SINGLES IN THE STATES..DONT HATE ..ITS WAY TO EARLY FOR THAT S***!
That Rihanna Reigns Just Won’t Let Up!
And … again… I wonder why tf you didnt said that WFL is still #1 in the BBHOT100 for the 7TH WEEK!!!!!!
#oooOOOOooopT
Congratz Ri Ri, always doin what you do best…
Kiss me 🙂
Rihanna the goddess of pop !!!!
Congratz Ri Ri, always doin what you do best…

Slaying? Well of course
LOL the UK is more important than the US in my opinion, the dollar is weaker than the euro after all #justsaying…
All artists have their stronger countries, just like beyawnce is stronger in the US but weaker in the UK…
Follow @rihannanavy_ZA 😉
Rhiluv, b**** sit on something and rotate. I know about her singles but that’s not my point. Go back. Reread. and then try again. And I don’t care if it’s too early for whatever. You don’t police s*** here.
And … again… I wonder why tf you didnt said that WFL is still #1 in the BBHOT100 for the 7TH WEEK!

Nor posted WW numbers last week. Cause she’s a weak bum b**** that’s why.
Well, congrats Rihanna!
But to the rihstans, the real deal is STILL the US market.
Kelly Rowland and Nicole Scherzinger are doing pretty well on the UK market too but they fail to impress the US market . Girls Aloud had an impressive career too but in the US they barely know about them.
I know about her singles but that’s not my point. Go back. Reread. and then try again.
————————————————————————————————————
Whats their to read to slays the US with her smash singles as well. You have no point clown.
Ok seriously people that whole “rihanna reign just won’t let up” saying is getting and f****** stupid. She has no reign in the US. It’s pretty f****** sad how Adeles 21 came out almost a year ago and is still pushing nearly 200k every week since its release, has remained in the top 5 on the 200 chart since its release and spawned 2 #1 singles (and about to spawn its 3rd with Set Fire to the Rain) while Talk that Flop came out 2 or 3 weeks ago and has already slid out of the top 10. So in my own reiterating, that Adele reign just won’t let up. Because the last time I checked an artist needs to have the best selling album of the year and breaking old records that haven’t been broken in years with its sales and its singles dominating the charts, to have a reign over everybody else…and not just based on singles sales.
Tell me who else is breaking brecords left and right besides Rihanna, Adele, and Katy 🙂
Waits……………….
And CLOWN you have no point. She ain’t breaking records here except maybe most pushed out albums in a f***** decade. Maybe that.
UK so counts! she is selling as much as some people are selling in the states, her album sold over 300,000 in the first week here also. That is more than many artists first week sales over there even. The UK definitely love RiRi.
@CHRISTINASCOMING
B**** sit down!!!!!!
You will deal, just because your fav flopped hard the beyonce’s 4 doesnt mean you can hate on rihanna :).

pukk is your fave, Ms Bytch??????
WHO WANTS TO SPANK MY ASS 🙂
@Kerry Johnson
You’re very sweet Man.
Even with her being down on that Hit Daily List
@ #12 theres still many Cushions under her
Tight s*** theres still 28 Others under her and
11 ahead of her Therefore she’s not @ the top
and she dam sure isn’t at the bottom, Looney’s.
@Spoonky POOP,,,,That is fair enough that shes a
Singles Artist, but Billboard also names her as #2
Over all Artist Behind ADELE Now don’t that open
your head all the way up?????? To those who has
gotten PUNKED really good by Rihanna why not just
hang it up because shes not the Top and we all know
that its clear as the nose on your Mug that she is not
at the bottom either.
YASSSSSS! QUEEN RI HAS THE GIRLS UPSET!!!
THE UK IS THE SECOND BIGGEST MARKET NEXT TO THE US
KERRY YOU NEED ME TO STIR YOU UP AND YOU’LL HAVE NO S**** LEFT BY THE TIME I INISHED WITH YOU.
@ONYX
AWWW THX 🙂
U know what, congrats rihanna and your team, you know exactly what singles to put out and when. Good marketing, but lets try shift that great marketing formula to selling albums now ok? Then you’ll be just fine. 😀 😉
@BELIEBER
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

She keeps paying her bills and here lately she has been carefully
making extra $$$$$$ so she can keep right on paying her bills &
she is paying her bills as well as ever with her Tour coming to
a close and from where i am sitting Hummmmm why just the
other night she Performed to over 18,000 people and i am certain
that when the Final Analysis or caculated and prodded through on
the adding Machine i am certain that she will have enought to
by a Decent Meal for her Friends and herself if you get my Drift.
And with just Several more Tour Dates The Navy is beside themselves
with excitemant and Jubilation to have her going Home for Christmas &
Celebrating with all of us here in the Beautiful Sunny Islands of the
Carribeans, How Exciting this is going to be.
@OH BABY
KISS ME 🙂
SINGLES!!! LMFAO
@OH BABY SHES #2 WITH TOP ALBUMS SALES ACCORDING BILLBOARD DON’T START NO SH AND IT WANT BE NO IT.
Congrats riri uk is her biggest market but I got one question how comes riri didn’t make it on top 25 billboard grossing tours i mean I just read the article did they get it wrong cse I thought she was selling out shows of the loud tour?
What type of WITCHCRAFT…damn VOODOO is this?…LOL 🙂
Over 700,000 Albums from “TTT” HER
MUSIC ALWAYS GROW LEGS, HIDE AND WATCH?
Hit Daily goes from #1 to # 40
RIHANNA IS #12 SOOOOOOOO.
WHAT BYTCHES??????
Yall go through this everyday Ri Ri stans, if yall know same is against Rihanna and shades her, why come on his site and support him at all…because thats what you are doing by giving him more site views and adding to his comment section which is one of the most populated out of all the blogs?
@WHUT
How are you by the way…And of course boo, Rihanna acquires number 1 singles like my fav aquir’s number 1 albums, ticket sales, and Grammies. And i got to thank Ri Ri because her single sales revenue is buying Baby Girl Carter all the diapers and wipes she will ever need…
It’s sad that SAM thinks his own country sucks…..she always killin it in the UK but he never fails to mention the U.S….she’s not doin to bad there either……Congrats Queen RiRi…slaying the UK..and being the most poular artist on TGJ!…esp. when ur the most hated…..only Rih…#BadBitch….#GetIt
Trying to say Rihanna isn’t running the US is a big LIE. I live in the US and the two black females running things right now is Beyonce and Rihanna. No one else. If Rihanna wasn’t making it in the US her album wouldn’t have even debut top 3 and she wouldn’t have been ruling the airwaves and commanding so many hits. And most of all how did she end up top 5 on the Forbes list of top earning pop stars if she’s not doing good in America? Face the facts Rihanna is a hit everywhere. A true Global Star.
Album “ttt”
http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm
Week # 1 504,000 WW
Week # 2 282.000 WW
Third week count tomorrow.
Who said Kelly is doing well in the uk? That bish debuted at 56!
That Rihanna reign just won’t let up!
Exactly kelly and scherzinger is not doing well in the UK. Maybe a little better than the US but to put them in the same league as rihanna Slaying fenty is a bit of a stretch. Kelly ‘s latest album didn’t even make a dent in the UK and you all say she’s doing good there. what a joke.
I wonder how you can make it on the forbes higest earning pop star list if your not selling albums. Rihanna do sell albums. Its time for those lies to stop.
RIHANNA RIHANNA RIHANNA RIHANNA RIHANNA RIHANNA RIHANNA RIHANNA RIHANNA RIHANNA!!!!!!!!!!!
THATS all you f***** post…..Sam you are one sad c*** of Queen
Anyways side ass note: Does anyone realize that Rihanna does give MTV any of her videos anymore….correct me if i’m wrong
But:
California king bed
Man Down
Cheers
And we found Love
Aren’t on MTV…you think she’s boycotting them????
And on top of that i heard they told her that the man down video was to long to show…..B**** PLZ Lady GAGA has almost do videos below 5mins LOL
@LAX,girl can you and the REST OF THE NAVY stop basking in the ambiance of the PAST???? Those are numbers from the LOUD era which was evidently good(NOT GREAT) all round in terms of album sales and singles sales! whereas this TTT or TALK THAT FLOP era has been nothing but catastrophic(so far) on the albums front,thank God for WFL coz You Da One no matter how much i like/d it,is not fairing as well…FACT! TTT is out of the top 10 and only sold a measly 50k this week even though it just came out 3 weeks ago,admit it girl,a flop is a flop and TTT is such!
@Kerry,boy you’re too damn much,SMH,i can’t take you seriously! lol
@OH BABY
GURLLLLLL BYE! THE PAST? QUEEN RI IS STILL ON THE LOUD TOUR! WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT ALL WE WANT!
STAY MAD THO!
@ WHUT
Google the conspiracy you stupid delusional f***!
The only thing that it’s saying is she should stay there! Y’all love the goat.
@ChristinasCOMING
Adele is a fat white R&B singer. You and all the others, especially SAM, a sellout black man, who keep trying to compare her ‘success’ to Rihanna’s, a black pop singer, need to ask yourselves if Adele was a fat black R&B singer like Jill Scott or Ledisi would she have been successful. The answer of course is a big resounding NO!
In short, stop bringing Adele into this because he success is clearly inflated because of the colour of her skin and that gives her an unfair advantage.
@OH BABY,,,,,Without our pass there would be no future. There don’t
seem to be a problem with many who drives the winning of Grammys
home off and on all if the time, so hey all is fair in love and war, baby. I
guess it is aganist the law to mention the “GGGB” is still blessing her
also???? What is so good to see is the Yeat end Stats where she is #2 right behind “ADELE” THAT IS THE hump that broke the Camels back. So there seems to be holes in many who say she don’t sale Albums. And if shes #12 this week then look at all of the artists who or listed below her i wonder why?????? And another thing if shes #3 on the Global list with 282 albums WW last week then that List goes to 40 therefore that means that theres 37 artists below her. “Loud” charted all the way up to going on three weeks ago and you can still see “Loud” if you look close enough.
Bottom line its a big Distractor for Rihanna to be on a sold out Tour which will be TALLIED WITH SALES A BIT LATER FOR ALL TO SEE. And she do not have to spend the rest of her life trying to defend herself aganist people who dislike her no matter if she does something good or bad, that is shameful but still okay all at the same time. Because the truth of the matter is many will hate her to the day you go to your graves and what a loss no one can make any one love another that is left up to them but to hate on a artist who is only guilty of working hard and trying to make it in the industry that is about some sad sack s*** right there and just shameful to say the least. In the end many of you will look at that mirrow and ask yourselves “Was It Worth It To Hate On Rihanna So Hard”.

Had to repost this cuz the b**** is right……look at beyonce’s 4….why hasn’t that sold 12million ww….people still re kinda rcist when it comes to music
Why does it matter who sells X amount of records. Point is their paper is LONG, yours is SHORT. Lol
@OH BABY Take your head out of your ass and breath some fresh air, step
out of the pukkkkin dead zone and learn to see around the corners like Rihanna and her team does. “Talk that Talk” Moved 504,000 first week
“Talk That Talk” Moved 282,000 copies second week
i was not speaking about “Loud” which has did really good for her and
in the Digital Age you or raising sand when your album sales in excess of 6Million and since many say her albums don’t sale then Ummmmmm “Loud”
has did better than many people albums here lately and it make many sick to their stomachs to know that she is selling albums and singles and “Loud”
& TTT” Both went #########1 on World Wide Charts & both happened this year of 2011, It happened in January of 2011 and it happeden with “TTT” WEEK BEFORE LAST, DO KEEP TALKING THAT TALK.
@COCKINESS THANK YOU FO TAKING THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH. NO DISRESPECT TO ADELLE BUT AIN’T THAT GOOD COMPARE TO JILLSCOTT, ANGIESTONE, TASIA , ERIKAH BADU ETC………….SMDH 🙁 🙁 🙁
@ChristinasCOMING
You say the UK doesn’t count? why? Is Rihanna American? Does she have any special allegiance to the American charts? As it stands now Rihanna is a still a big star in the US, who else’s album can go top 3 with 190k+ copies without any promo?
Back to the UK…you said it doesn’t count. So that means the 360K Rihanna has sold in the UK since the release of TTT are worthless?
360k x on average £9.99 per album = £3.2million and that is just one country. So you are effectively saying if someone handed you that amount of money after 3 weeks of sales it wouldn’t count because it is not in $? GTFOH!!!
@cockiness and @Cherz,you’re both kinda right,kinda like Ldy Gaga and her sales too,it’s mainly coz of the color of her skin…but then again we should NOT disregard the TALENT that both ladies poses! they both deserve the success that is coming their way coz they worked hard to get it,maybe not as hard as a Beyonce or shoot,even a Rihanna,but still,it just wasn’t handed to them,they worked!
@Jose,girl BOOM! LOUD is done,TTT is her new album so lets stick to that shall we not? it’s not anyone’s fault but Rihanna’s that she released TTT while still on tour duties for LOUD so miss me with that!
@LAX,I honestly wanted to read the whole thing,but i gave up after the second paragraph…but fair enough,then lets talk DIL,Beyonce sold how many copies off of that album? 11million and 2 number 1 singles,Not happy? ok,then lets get into B’DAY,how many copies? over 7mill plus 2 number 1 singles(including Check on it)still not satisfied? ok IASF how many copies? again over 7 mill with the global number 1 smash hit Single ladies, there,if my fav had more albums,i’d mention them all and exclude her latest like you’re doing with your fav too… 😀 😉
Different strokes for different folks, there’s many who love “ADELE”
and her style of music and that is clear with her massive Sales. On the other hand there’s many who love “RIHANNA” and her style of music. Adele appeals to many of the elite and people who or not into pop, soul but its clear that the two women appeals to different types of people. Adele music isn’t playing in the hood and st the little hole in the walls but you can bet your ass Rihannas music is blasting like crazy. Rihanna can appeal to the Uptowm
folks and the back street crowd, effortless. Rihanna is very reelatable and people see her as the look of many Diverse groups of people. Rihanna isn’t all about trying to be Ms. Goody Two Shoe Rihanna is the queen of Rauncy
and if s** sells then s*** sell the hell out of it i say, the picture of her performing to 18,000 people the other night with her legs spread wide like she is getting ready for a pap smear is Pricless, and that s*** drives many people nutts and she has a world stage and shes a Entertainer and she has such a great stage Persona its shameful almost how Rihanna is s*** as a mofo without even trying. She embraces her sexuality and theres some dam bytch whos wrapped up like a nun or a moselum woman trying to s*** talk rihanna and her sexiness. Before rihanna came on the stage there was many who was s*** as a mofo and they did the dam thing and all of a sudden there is something to sat about what rihanna does from
her clothers to her g-string. Its okay if “ADELE” Keep her clothes all on and i do love & respect “ADELE” and since our princess Rihanna is right behind ADELE I call rihanna the “EQUALIZER” Yes the only black bytch in the top ten for this dam year of 2011 according to Billboard.

@oh baby(b****** WILL deal)
I disagree somewhat. Had Gaga or Adele being black their success would not have been at this level. Whatever Gaga is doing has been done before by Grace Jones a black woman and Grace never reached this level of stardom. Had Gaga been black and dressed like Jones she would have been labelled a crazy crackhead from the get go and no one would have given her the time of day.
Then we have Adele. Jill Scott, Ledisi and Erykah Badu all R&B singers are just as good if not better than Adele but nobody is buying their s*** because they are black. Had Adele being Black she would have been in the same boat. Lets not pretend that the colour of their skin does not give them more opportunities than Black artists out there.
That being said I laugh and feel sorry for sellout blacks like Sam and that fat mofo TheSkorpion try and downgrade Rihanna’s success by using the likes of Adele and Gaga as the standard. Crabs in the barrel I tell ya!
